A review of The Worlds Greatest Mysteries Solved

by timtamincanada on 05/01/2005

You had a cute idea for a two minute short film - the fact that the original was six minutes is astonishing to me. The old adage is to always leave them wanting more, and you do the complete opposite - you give too much. For that reason, I just cannot recommend this film - it's a one-trick pony. The one joke goes on about 50 times longer than it should. There are several... read

Cute

A review of Signs of Love

by timtamincanada on 02/26/2005

This is a cute little movie. First of all, you used some very good camera angles, which I can appreciate (there seems to be a problem with animated movies here that they're so impressed with the animation that they forget it's a movie and don't bother doing anything dynamic with the camera) - so good job on that.As for content, what can you say? It satisfied my curiosity... read

Like a sitcom, but which one?

A review of Temptation Vacation

by timtamincanada on 02/24/2005

At first, I thought this was like a Friends episode - the guy missed out and predictably the other two do well. But in the end, it turned out like a Full House episode! (eg. learn a valuable life lesson about not wasting your summer, ahhhhh). Seriously though...your sound was really good (I read your production notes) - professional quality even. The dialogue was very well... read

Very professional short film

A review of False Colors

by timtamincanada on 02/22/2005

Most of the technical detail about this movie was great. It looked amazing, it sounded very good and you had great actors. Some of the directing and editing choices were a little suspect - like I don't know if we needed onefull minute of Miriam walking to the bench, and you had some weird cuts to her body when you felt that the straight two-shot, then shot-reverse shot pattern... read

Great cinematography!

A review of Mobile -redux

by timtamincanada on 02/21/2005

You guys did a great job with the camera work. The whole movie looked gorgeous.As for the content, I really liked it as a sort of slice-of-life movie. I don't know if it was necessary to have the fake documentary angle with all of the "interviews" - I mean, we didn't need to be told that she "means more than anything to him," when you could have just shot a close up of him... read

Fargo in the desert

A review of Molitar Rd.

by timtamincanada on 02/21/2005

Great movie! I didn't mean my title to imply that this movie is derivative of others; instead, I'm impressed that you combine a good helping of Fargo-style wide angle shots with Coen brothers-style dark humour, add in some Pulp Fiction-quality dialogue and Kill Bill Vol. 2-style music to create a very entertaining film.Really liked the look of the film (good scouting plus... read

Liked the message

A review of The Penny drops

by timtamincanada on 02/20/2005

Is THE PENNY DROPS trying to tell me that I should give money to homeless people because they might give me something back in return? If so, this movie has a pretty horrible message. However, maybe the "striptease" is representative of how you feel after you do something nice for a person in need? I'm not sure, but I tended towards theladder, so in that case the movie has... read

Nice Little Film

A review of THE PAPERBOY

by timtamincanada on 02/18/2005

In more ways than one - maybe it's worth a loss in picture quality to have abigger image for your next film on Triggerstreet? Just a thought, because it was pretty hard to see.Otherwise, THE PAPERBOY was a cute film. Your actor did a fine job, and I especially liked the music - it was well placed and suited the tone of the film. There was a small continuity blip (I'm being... read

Outtakes are not funny

A review of Hello, My Name Is...

by timtamincanada on 02/17/2005

The only people who find short film outtakes funny are the cast and crew! I learned this the hard way, so hopefully for next time you can keep this in mind.Overall, the acting was very good. I admit that the story left a lot to be desired; what was the point? I would spend time on your next script maybe going for a few more jokes. If there's not going to be a real story,... read

Good for a laugh

A review of Strong Cream

by timtamincanada on 02/17/2005

The "film" was pretty funny. Your actor gave a good performance, and the narrator's lines were pretty funny. So overall it's good for a laugh. But besides that, there's nothing really memorable about this. It's the type of thing you'd stick on a reel with your other films, and not show independantly as your "masterpiece." I'd consider it more of an exercise - now plan and... read
