Christmas Bone Us (2012)
Wonderful, Funny, and Original Holiday Film
I saw the recently released Office Christmas Party and it reminded me of this short that played at a film festival I judged. The recent film had a big budget and stars Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, T. J. Miller, Jillian Bell, Vanessa Bayer, Courtney B. Vance, Rob Cordry, Sam Richardson, Randall Park, Kate McKinnon, and Jennifer Aniston. The earlier film, Christmas Bone Us, had unknown actors but the film was actually more punchy and funny because of the pace of the short. Paramount Pictures made a nice film in Office Christmas Party but I must admit I prefer the refreshing and original Christmas Bone Us. They say great minds think alike and I applaud the writer of Christmas Bonus for writing such a wonderful, funny and original film. Merry Christmas!
Walls of Water (2016)
A Sublime and Refreshing Action Film - Powerful Storytelling and Epic Visual Scenery
I watched of Water at a Los Angeles film festival screening and was wildly impressed. John Taschner's latest film gives insight into the filmmakers range and work. This film presents stunning imagery and places environmental power before the viewer, further cementing the filmmaker's formidable place among Hollywood's great storytelling writer/directors. Walls of Water shows amazing range in genre, and demonstrates a style that challenges expectation and perception. The imagery and music present an intense and thrilling pace. The cinematography and music were indeed top notch and perfectly mixed, and the film takes the viewer to the location in a point of view style. John Taschner knows how to tell great stories, especially in this action genre. The film s much more than the typical fantasies or special FX often seen in Hollywood production. A surprising and refreshing action film. Top Notch.
