FILM REVIEW
FILM: Broken Doll Director's Cut
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
8941
RATING: 3 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Great opening graphics and photography give this film a unique style that pays homage to the psychological horror thrillers of old - very Hitchcock.
WHAT I SUGGEST: Ambient sound went in and out and the poor, hollow quality of the camera clicks and spoken words disrupted the experience.
Very curious film!

FILM: THE THING UNDER MY BED
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
10270
RATING: 3 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Great opening shot that establishes a freaky character. There are some genuinely tense moments when the "boogey man" pop in and out of the frame. Kinetic photography.
WHAT I SUGGEST: Some of the shots were too dark to follow the action. The film does well to exploit some moments of surprise but it never mixes up the formula and the film ultimately does nothing satisfying with each time it catches your attention.
Nice make up job - the old man is certainly freaky.

FILM: POPCORN DREAMS
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
2557
RATING: 4 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Very smooth, cinematic photography with stylized lighting and set design that supported the narrative. Playful music selection.
WHAT I SUGGEST: The end is a bit anticlimactic despite the moral of the story - because the film is so stylized and fantasy centric there is an expectation of a bigger than life ending. But the film's end is more or less a "real-life" irony which seemingly contradicts its look and feel.
Nice film!

FILM: Beans on Wheels - 3
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
29135
RATING: 3 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Quirky film with some funny, almost disturbing, images (and audio). Some shots had a unique look and feel (like when the wheel chair bound woman was rolling through a disaster of a house - good stuff).
WHAT I SUGGEST: The quality of the photography was very inconsistent. Some of the ambient noise became really distracting.
Sad, yes. Funny, yes!

FILM: MY WALLET
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
15693
RATING: 3.5 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Like a well adapted live action Looney Tunes cartoon. Some great comical timing and action, interesting shot selection, and some funny impromptu moments.
WHAT I SUGGEST: As great as some of action camera work was, the quality was inconsistent and most of the sound was not clear or the levels were uneven.
Great work! Looks like this film was fun to make.

FILM: creasy
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
20493
RATING: 4 / 5
WHAT I LIKED: Fantastic photography - well lit and composed. The performances were sincere and hit the right dramatic tone. I can appreciate the angle of the story - not the typical anti-pharmaceutical big-business scenario but of someone caught in between.
WHAT I SUGGEST: The main speech verged on melodrama simply because it ran too long and pushed in too close when the true intimacy between the character and audience should have been during the last shot of Creasy visiting the grave.
Great looking film!
