Sleepwalker (2012)
Overall a nice little festival short shot entirely via iphones.
I am surprised there have been no reviews on IMDb about Sleepwalker. SO I decided to give my thoughts on it, I Caught this film at MacWorld as part of the iPhone Film Festival. All the films were shot on iphones which is crazy considering how great they all looked. Dig the DIY aesthetic. Sleepwalker is really moody, weird, scary in a good way..kinda Lynchian. They said it's going to be a feature soon which would be cool. I wonder if that is just speculation or what? Does anyone know about this? Will it be shooting in New Mexico? These are all things I need and want to know! I hope everyone can get a chance to check this out. I think you will enjoy it for what it is.
Division III: Football's Finest (2011)
An amazing storyline showcasing the madcap exploits of an underdog Div.III football program and it's new head coach.
For being a low budget film this movie, surprisingly had several big name stars in it. Most notably Andy Dick,Will Sasso,Adam Corolla, and the always amazing Sally Kirkland. Any true fan of college sports and zany comedies will find enjoyment here. From the over the top antics of the ragtag teammates to the actual actors running the plays while filming the actual games. The movie is one of the better college comedies I have seen as of late and I highly recommend it to all. The crude head coach as written and played by Andy Dick could not have been topped by anyone else, he shines in this undertaking. I find my self still chuckling at his one liners and antics days after watching this movie. I can't wait to add this hidden gem to my DVD collection,and watch this again!
Thunder Over Reno (2008)
I liked the overall concept and I saw the forest thru the trees.
Overall I thought this was a pretty great take on an even greater idea.
It was very low budget as far as films go by today's standards, however clocking in at just below $1M, I find that this was still amazing!
From start to finish it kept me entertained. It had many layers and elements to satisfy even the most finicky critic.
It was a clean family story with exciting highs and no real lows... plus there where no lame CGI...it was all real.
I absolutely loved the actor playing the role of the hero Butch Bandi. He was very focused and into the zone at all times.
As many already know,any low budget has some budget-constraining issues... but the vision and passion portrayed here far out weigh the obvious.
Memory Lane (2012)
Memory Lane is a surreal masterpiece that envelops and tantalizes every aspect of the viewer's palate.
This movie was a really enjoyable take on finding one's self while drowning in the middle of chaos. Considering the low cost to make this film, I found it was very enjoyable to watch, with superb acting and the cinematography was just absolutely stunning. I do not want to give anything away but I will say that It builds slowly and develops fully into something that will keep you asking questions long after the credits have rolled. Overall this was something that I felt in my heart to be worth the time spent watching it,and can't wait to recommend it to others. It weaves an intricate plot with believable yet mind bending fantasy.
Clutch (2011)
A gritty and wild tale of survival at all cost featuring a brilliantly portrayed dominant female actress.
I absolutely fell in love with this web series from the moment I first saw a brief clip of it on the actual website. I was drawn to the action elements and the sheer beauty of the lead actress and completely blown away by the amazingly creative displays of cinematography.
In my opinion this is going to be something that appeals to many audiences. There is plenty of intense action and intrigue for thrill seekers, in depth character studies, romance, witty humor,one of a kind acting{The characters were believable and it was refreshing to see such a no-nonsense approach to the roles} and above all amazing artistic direction.
The lead character Kylie who is played by Elitsa Bako...who is without out a doubt one of the most beautiful creations to ever grace our plane of existence...I mean it folks, I've seen all kinds of beautiful women, both on screen and off and she's simply the most beautiful, the most stunning, the most adorable woman I have ever seen in my entire life. By the third episode of this, I am sure most of you will agree and find yourself head over heels or at the very least ,genuinely smitten.
Overall I found this to be is extremely well paced, starkly and beautifully shot, and features some of the best acting and writing in quite sometime. I enjoyed being able to view this , and I honestly hope that this gets developed further. I would love for nothing more than to see this as a vehicle to further the increasing need and demand for strong female leads to be portrayed on screen.
Conglomeration (2010)
A witty little short I stumbled upon that really made my day
I honestly enjoyed everything from the professional looking opening credits to the wonderful Ross Witherden playing the roll of Steven and serving up his inspiring ounce of wisdom at the end. It's really a short by all typical descriptions. but yet still thrilling and entertaining to watch none the less. I imagine that the script is so good that barring financing or a direct act of God against the short's creator, then this will indeed be made into a full- length featured movie. In closing I just wanted to say a special "Kudos to all involved and I hope to see more from everyone involved with this project."

Sneakers & Soul (2009)
"No matter what you do in life, always have a perfect bed and a comfortable pair of shoes, because when you're not in one, you're in the other."
I had the pleasure of seeing this recently at the Macon Film Festival and instantly fell in love with it. This is not just an ordinary everyday comedy infused drama. It is so much more than that. I sincerely hope Jonathan Zelenak and Marty Buccafusco will continue to work together and bring there amazing talents to modern day cinema.
In my opinion,Some films earn all the accolades they receive. Some will even live forever in the hearts and minds of film lovers the world over. Some films inspire creative minds to create their own variations and further enrich the lives of the movie-going public. This film is indeed all of them rolled into one complete audio+visionary+sensory work of art.
So many things come together to make this work so highly enjoyable; acting, writing, music, pace, directing...DIALOGUE Man I can't get over just how well written the dialogue was and how everything just seemed to me to flow together so perfectly. I will argue against those that may find that the movie was a little slow at first, I believe the amazing storytelling arc that completely overwhelms the viewer by the end speaks for it's self.
Twice Removed (2003)
I usually am not a big fan of adaptations, but this is really amazing work
I was lucky enough to see this incredible short by Heather Hughes. She has an impressive take on psychological thrillers. If you have ever seen the classic 1954 ghost story, "Harry," by Rosemary Timperley, you may notice some similarities and influence.
The story revolves around a young mother named Lucy, who is played by the always wonderful Emma Jones.
In this story Lucy will stop at nothing to insure her five year old daughter remains safe. Meanwhile her little girl's imaginary brother tries his absolute best to prove otherwise.
I do not want to reveal any spoilers, but I must say that I was very surprised with the ending, kudos to all involved.

Prom Night (2008)
Most films are about other films, and few invent new things in the film world. So when something innovative comes around, it is remarkable.
In my eyes acting is one of the most key elements to success or failure of a film. Some film types can survive without superb acting. These motion pictures can entertain the viewer with special effects or intense action scenes. A film based on heavy dialog and back-story can not survive with out excellent actors. One such movie that meets the dialog-based criterion is Prom Night.
There are so many great shots, moments, and quotes from this movie short, that they are just too numerous to list in a review, nor would I want to ruin it for anybody who has not seen it, although I can not fathom why you haven't. If not, it is a must see.
To me this is more than just a short love story, it's an amazing attempt at real comedy that relies on more than just slapstick, situation and screwball alike; the film is an odd beast of basic convention, surrealist humor and come what may. The film is well-paced, never drags, and has its characters pegged pretty well.
It is far from just being a throwback to our own prom night nostalgia. At its core, it's a short that appeals to almost everyone, young or old, and with each and every watch, it should never fail to earn a chuckle or two. It's not too over-the-top to be unrealistic, and it never loses its human touch. Whatever gender or generation you come from, it's sure to win you over time and time again.
