  Sadly, what I do...
  A review of What Boys Do
  by Kyle Moucha on 11/09/2007
  This short film was a job perfectly well done. Everything from the camera angles, slight movement to the insight of the male psyche made me love this short even more. It was, and I hate to be using this word, adorable. Really, truly, adorable. Almost pathetic, especially for me, because I catch myself doing this all the time. Applause all around to everyone who made this film... This short film was a job perfectly well done.

  Yeah, but the girls don't have to know

  Good idea, well executed. Thoughts cleaner than most! All hangs together well, scripting, camera, music. Clearly a professional kind of outfit. Couldn't get the film to load from Triggerstreet so went for the bluntfilms.co.uk website. I have to write another twelve words, so here they are

  Observational Humour
  A review of What Boys Do
  by Matt Burn on 01/19/2005
  This is indeed what many of us boys do, taken a bit further. I like the concept of this a lot, but am finding it hard to write things about it. The quality of the sound and picture really harm the viewing experience, probably due to compression, thats' something to work on for next time, as I really couldn't here what he said initially about the first girl. Nicely framed shots,... This is indeed what many of us boys do, taken a bit further. I like the concept of this a lot, but am finding it hard to write things about it.

Nicely framed shots, it's a shame about your auto focus I agree. Not sure why you kept getting kicked out of the station. Keep making movies , best of luck for the future. read

  The audio during the voiceover isn't very good, I could barely hear the guy. The idea behind this effort is cute and I've actually seen a commercial similar to this. The camerawork is decent and the edits are good. The lighting is decent, doesn't look like you used any additional lighting. I think many people have imagined what life would be like with a particular person... The audio during the voiceover isn't very good, I could barely hear the guy.

That was a perfect base for a real comedy, and I think you didn't go far enough this way...Keep on the good work, I will look for your next ones... read

  I couldn't really see
  A review of What Boys Do
  by moviecre8r on 06/08/2004
  The upload was so bad that I only got to see still frames... Other than that, I thought the idea was cool, it looked like it was shot great, I just wish I could see it the right way. The acting VO was performed well too. Good job from what I can tell. The location really set the mood for me.

  Short and worth watching
  A review of What Boys Do
  by jebrown on 05/20/2004
  Cute girl, great script, great tag and ending. I loved this. It's the tag-line at the end that just catches it and reveals what the whole piece was about. Just really neat the way this was edited and edited in time (meaning his life, one minute earlier and the short is ruined). Great use of time and space. I love that it's filmed in a bit of a difficult location. Cheers... Cute girl, great script, great tag and ending. I loved this.

  Obsessive creepy
  A review of What Boys Do
  by **DELETED ACCOUNT** on 05/15/2004
  The film was interesting and well-shot. I liked the idea although the message of obsessive ultimately unromantic fixation of one person to the next leaves an empty feeling. That was the point wasnt it. That is what young boys do. Fixate on an image of a woman and run through scenarios then get bored and give equal weight to the next sight of one. to its honest and its well... The film was interesting and well-shot.

  Nice work
  A review of What Boys Do
  by phixta on 04/28/2004
  I applaud your simplicity and ability to do it all, Brendan. I liked the images in the boys imagination. Nice light in the shot reading the book and the flower opening. I got the contrast between the reality and dream sequence but thought you could have explored it further to really drive it home. You said a lot in very short period of time and the message was communicated... I applaud your simplicity and ability to do it all, Brendan. I liked the images in the boys imagination.

  Not a great job at a creative idea.
  A review of What Boys Do
  by CitricAcid13 on 01/17/2004
  Very jumpy, hard to follow, incoherent and confusing. Good idea, but very dark and poor camera quality / angles. It was a good idea, but was poorly displayed. Although I liked the ending to the movie with a little twist. I suggest you take more time in making the scenes of your next movie and make it a little brighter.
