  Yes it was
  A review of 7 Minutes in Hell
  by grouchobeer on 01/05/2008
  First of all, the sound was an abomination. I don't know anyone outside of bad movies who actually talks the way that the kidnapper does, do you? I thought at first that he was using a voice altering device, but he talks the same way even when he is not on the phone. What is the kidnapper's motivation? And why in the name of God does he show up for work in a shirt and tie?... First of all, the sound was an abomination.

The cinematography is OK (altho the compression is bad), and the editing is OK except for the part where the husband cries out to God, which is really clunky. The border collie was great. He was just being a border collie. Everybody else was "acting". read

  Many moments
  A review of THAT ONE MOMENT (DVD)
  by grouchobeer on 01/04/2008
  The black and white photography was gorgeous. The sound, not so much. And there's no excuse, since it's all voice over, done in post. I mean, honest to God, a thirty dollar Radio Shack microphone would have been better than whatever you used. (The mic in your laptop?) Altho I enjoyed the images, the movie could have been tightened up a bit as it goes on long after the narrator... The black and white photography was gorgeous. The sound, not so much.

  Smile
  A review of Smile for me
  by grouchobeer on 01/03/2008
  A very pleasant if music videoish movie, performed well by a game, talented, appealing cast. The cinematography, editing, lighting, and costumes are all done well. Unfortunately, the sound is terrible, but that's simple enough to remedy. if you re-record the song or can somehow fix what you have here, this will be a winner.
