Reviews

FILM: The Clues Brothers
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
10280

WHAT I LIKED: The trailer is flashy and exudes a feeling of high production value but with a sense of humor about itself.
WHAT I SUGGEST: I'm not entirely sure what the chase is about beyond just being cops and robbers.

FILM: RED DOG

881

WHAT I LIKED: Great production value that contrasts with the films tongue-and-cheek humor.
WHAT I SUGGEST: In all it's blurring of conventions the film still doesn't feel very original.
COMMENT: CRC sounds so much like Nick Cage!

FILM: Gummy Bears

WHAT I LIKED: Very entertaining. The film has a nonsensical fun about it reminiscent of the Luney Toons of old. Drummer gummy bear were funny as heck.
WHAT I SUGGEST: Though there was a gritty charm to it, the film would have benefited from better lighting composition.

FILM: For All the Marbles
LINK: http://films.thelot.com/films/
48

WHAT I LIKED: Epic spin on a very familiar tale. Great cinematography, direction, and casting.
WHAT I SUGGEST: Some of the shots (like the POV of breaking through the Red Rover line) felt a bit clunky.
