A review of The Bike

by StiK on 02/24/2010

On the positives, the frameing of the shots were beautiful, and it was cut together nicely. Negatives, well, it didn't really hold my attention and the sound effects started poor and actually hurt my ears about halfway through. Which wasn't a pleasant experience. Perhaps an elegant mood track would be better. Cinematography was excellent. Put that in a narrative that holds... read

Every Dogs a Critic

A review of Tell 'em, Elmer

by StiK on 02/24/2010

I quite enjoyed this little story, it was nicely shot and well delivered. I'm not really sure what the point was, but the execution of the little story was handled well. I'd like to see the creator expand on his storytelling and see what he comes up with. I came away a little happier, so job done.

Interesting little horror flick

A review of Stay with me

by StiK on 02/16/2010

There's a lot to enjoy here. Some nice camera angles set a good feeling of being watched. Some of the framing didn't feel quite right. I felt I was seeing too much of the ground whilst looking at the house. Some other shots would have been nice when the car was driving up to the house. An interior shot maybe in the car. Obvious parrallels to the Japanese horrors were evident... read

Funny interesting snapshot of live out there dating

A review of "The Nice Guy"

by StiK on 02/15/2010

Bottomline I enjoyed this little Vox pop. I would have liked to have seen a wider age range. The man or woman that have seen it all before and come out the other side of good or bad relationships. I think that would have given it more texture as it were. But on the whole it was a very accomplished movie. It made me laugh, but I do wonder as a species, how we ever get down... read

Oh dear

A review of sufur dude

by StiK on 11/07/2008

I am trying desparately to find anything good to say about this project. The sound quality is apalling, as the mic is too near the chaps mouth and keeps distorting. The story is non-existant and the graphics would look lame in the 80's. I can appreciate that the originator of this is working with some pretty basic software. But you can come up with something that suits the... read

A bit dull really

A review of Scary

by StiK on 10/21/2008

Nice voice talents, interesting camera work at times considering the limitations of the medium. Bit jerky when stopping and starting tracks and pans. But ultimately dull I'm afraid. It needed some better dialogue and ideas which it didn't have. It borrowed from too many other horror templates to make it interesting. She needs a better ringtone for her phone.

Professional, but predictable

A review of Remember

by StiK on 10/16/2008

On the positive side I found the work pretty well put together. Nice editing, framing, perhaps a bit predicable in shots and cutting. The whole tone of the film I found a bit pretentious and lacking in insight. (The guitar backing didn't help the disneysque tone of the piece)I really didn't learn anything I didn't know about the human condition. I'm not a big fan at naval... read

Visually Stunning at Times

A review of Trace and Shadow

by StiK on 10/14/2008

I really enjoyed the opening. Very strong. It promised great things. I started to expect a Delicatessen-esque film. It did linger a bit on some images too long. Which was a pity, as the look of the thing was on the whole wonderful. Not much of a story, infact no story to speak of. Just emotion. It was moving art. But about 2 to 3 minutes fat. It either needed some more images,... read

A bit Wooden

A review of The Incumbent

by StiK on 10/14/2008

As this film is made by amateurs, you have to give it a bit of slack. But also you have to be selfish, because the reason for making this film is to entertain. I was not entertained. I took account of the acting not being up to scratch, but the set-up to the final joke was waaaay to long, and quite frankly, stupid. The direction needed more coverage, close-ups, reaction shots,... read

An Atmospheric piece

A review of Turtle Guitar

by StiK on 10/14/2008

I'm not a big fan of this "woodcutty" style. However it did give it a nice atmosphere with a subtle use of colour. The dialogue was light,interesting and quite charming. The story, to be honest was a bit wishy washy. It kind of finished when it had began. I wanted more...I wanted to see an adventure with the turtle guitar. Which by the way I found to be an amusing concept... read
