SHARP LOVE, SHARP KITTENS
"Sharp Love..." is a very, well, sharp short film. Its production value is top quality and the script is really impressive. With a 15 minute running time, "Sharp Love..." manages to cleverly poke fun...

View ArticleGREG’S GUARDIAN ANGEL
I’d like to see them expand this into a series or perhaps a feature. They have the right confidence to deliver effective comedy and know when it’s time to shift the style in a new direction...Read More...
View ArticleROBOT TEARS
"Robot Tears" has quite a few moments of original comedy – the cleverly written dialogue assists these scenes greatly - but the comedy gets heavy-handed and the jokes eventually become machine-like –...

"Day of Reckoning" is the "Universal Soldier" follow up we’ve been anxiously waiting for since the release of the original...Read More at FilmThreat.com
View ArticleDESOLATION WILDERNESS
Nothing happens in this movie. Almost the entire running time is two guys hanging out in the woods, wandering around, shooting fireworks, and occasionally playing their musical instruments. This film...
View ArticleSTREET FIGHT
There are a lot of problems with "Street Fight," but the biggest one is the acting, which is not convincing at all. Everyone (and I stress everyone) looks like they’re reading from cue cards that are...

View Article2 HOURS
"2 Hours" is an original and thrilling take on this over-saturated genre. We've seen victims being bitten and turn into the infected before, but not many have explored a bitten human's journey and...
View ArticleKNIGHT KNIGHT
Writer Nicholas Horwood and director Christina Bucher together can churn out pleasing comedy, but it does become a tad gratuitous. Some of King King’s memorable scenes would really stand out if the...
View ArticleOUR CRISIS CUBA
"Our Crisis Cuba" is an interesting concept, but the short doesn’t carry enough weight or tension to keep the audience engaged. They try hard, but its unrealistic conversations are smothered with...

View ArticleWHERE’S SANDRA?
If you took some ecstasy or dropped some acid, you’ll probably have the time of your life. The film appears to be shot on VHS, and there’s enough colorful filters used to make the Beastie Boys circa...
View ArticleELKO
The idea of "Elko" is unique. Its goal is to exploit one of the cruelties the internet has to offer, and in this case, an under-the-radar message board for sociopaths looking for vulnerable, young...
View ArticleGHOUL
"Ghoul" is not just a homage to silent films, it is a silent film; the only audio is music, the narrative is pushed by body language and props, and title cards, with an abridged to-the-point...

With two different types of animation being used in the 11 minute short, it's obvious director Colin Clarke has not just an affinity for this type of filmmaking, but also animation skill and a healthy...
View ArticleCXL
"CXL" reminds me of something Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman would have collaborated on in the early stages of their friendship. Sharp writing and themes, where you have to think deep to find their...
View ArticleGOTTA FIND BARRY
"Gotta Find Barry" may be the brain child of a sketch comedy group, What Boy, but nothing is funny about this film. It is meant to be funny, of course, but the story is buried too deep in manufactured...
