A review of Loose Ends

by peeleye on 03/06/2003

If you know the reference good, if not, then I suggest you check out his body of work. You guys will make it big in the soft porn film industry. And don't pooh-pooh it either (lotsa $$$ in that caper). Skin flicks don't mind cliche (in fact it's considered esential). But if you want to play it straight, then do yourself a favour and write a decent story (note I said 'story'... read

a different take

A review of Malevolence

by peeleye on 02/24/2003

I'm more or less in agreement with what others have written, with one exception. The suspence that you intended for the audience might have been better realised if you focussed on the girl's fear factor and not feel it necessary to bring in the guns/ fight scene as you did. Others may feel the need to see a climax / resolution / catharsis or whatever, I think your responsibility... read

WIGU

A review of Goals: A Public Service Announcement

by peeleye on 02/23/2003

When I Grow Up i'm going to think for myself. WIGU i'm going to tell others where to get off with all their moralising, do-good crap. WIGU i'm going to be a filmmaker and not a preacher who uses a camera instead of a soap box. WIGU i'll recognise that people who take crack do so because of circumstances that have little to do with their ability to set goals.

Bonaparte is a bad bon-bon

A review of Citizen Bonaparte

by peeleye on 02/17/2003

I don't know what you call them in the States, but a bon-bon is a small and decorative firework which is handed out to young and old each Christmas. Made from a paper roll twisted at each end and containing a gift, a joke, and a paper hat. When pulled sharply at both ends it usually makes a loud report. This short film reminds me of a dud bon-bon. Impressive to behold, but... read

fart is a bad smell

A review of Art is a good guy

by peeleye on 02/13/2003

A comedy masquerading as a document-arty. In attempting to be all things it became nothing. The comedy as far as I could ascertain was solely due to the editing - therefore contrived comedy at best. Methinks your motives your disingenuous and an act of bad faith. As you were wondering what art students thought art was, did you think to pose the question to yourself?

fat girls rule

A review of Fat Girl(s) In Ohio

by peeleye on 02/07/2003

Bravo and lets see more. If I had my way I would drag my niece and nephew (9 & 10 yrs) away from the cartoon cable channel and have them watch this thoughtful piece of art. It reminded me of the importance of unstructured child's play. To allow children the space to be daydreamers, to nurture their imaginations. A simple (but not simplistic) idea, well told.

being comfortable with oneself

A review of Jon vs. Jon 3

by peeleye on 02/05/2003

not my best headline, but I thought it best to stay away from the more obvious wank gags. I liked the concept and I'm sure it would generate a lot of discussion in any undergraduate subject dealing with the nature of subjectivity. Yes it was too long, poor sound quality etc, but since it was a one man operation, I would be the last to spank you down for it. Keep it up.

violence perpetrated on my sensibilities

A review of 888 Subtitles

by peeleye on 02/05/2003

I managed to eat my Thai takeaway and drink my can of coke while watching this no brainer. Now I want to throw it up. Making it up as you go along is not filmmaking in my book, it's just being self-indulgent. It's a pity because the gem of the idea was a good one.

hit and miss

A review of Hit

by peeleye on 02/04/2003

well first for the bad news. Yes I did see the end coming. I really don't know who's story this was (maybe it doesn't matter, but I think it does if your focussing on NARRATIVE). Actors were not fully realised. On the plus side, I liked the titles, the camera work, the music, the edit and the babe with the baster although you did lay her on a bit thick).

A mut's life

A review of A DOGS LIFE

by peeleye on 01/08/2003

A good concept for a short film yes, but not a feature. Rin Tin Tin with attitude I suppose. Try giving the mut some monologue. I recommend a short film which won first prize at the Tropicana Film Festival (Australia) from several years earlier. I can't remember the filmmakers name, but It was hilarious.
