Review of No Menus Please
No Menus Please on Reel 13These shorts are starting to annoy me with their consistent lack of quality. And in this case, I actually watched all three competitors so I KNOW that there were better films to choose from. This was actually the worst of all three, but I had a feeling it would win. ... read morePosted on 11/19/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of The Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven on Reel 13I love the THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. It was one of the watershed films of my childhood – such a sense of heroism and decency propagated throughout the film. However, watching it again on Reel 13, I was reminded of something that I always sort of knew, but didn't want to ... read morePosted on 11/19/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of Two Harbors
Two Harbors on Reel 13Hmm…this is an interesting left turn for Reel 13 Indies. TWO HARBORS is a black and white 75 minute film from Minnesota that features non-actors and is about two people finding a connection through a search for alien life. I applaud the boldness of the Reel 13 programmers of thinking ... read morePosted on 11/14/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of La Casita
La Casita on Reel 13So, I came home yesterday and told my roommate about how I met this girl at a party. She was really nice. And so, I decided to make a movie about it – not about meeting the girl, but instead about me telling my roommate about meeting the girl. That's ... read morePosted on 11/14/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of The Robe
The Robe on Reel 13Reel 13 switches gears to religious epics – a popular (and expensive) genre of 1950's Hollywood. THE ROBE , however, is a film that does not seem to have had as lasting an impact over the course of time as some of the others. Most audiences today are more likely ... read morePosted on 11/14/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of The Rage in Placid Lake
Rage in Placid Lake on Reel 13Aha! After last week's debacle with AMERICAN WAKE, I was starting to worry that the Reel 13 Indies were going to be a series of below average films that didn't receive more significant distribution for a reason (i.e. they stunk). But HERE - here they have found a diamond in ... read morePosted on 11/13/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of The Apologist
The Apologist on Reel 13Is Reel 13 serious with THE APOLOGIST? Is this really the film that was the viewers choice for Best short? I didn't get a chance to see the other films, but I have to think that there had to have been a better film than this one. Initially, I had ... read morePosted on 11/13/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of A Shot in the Dark
A Shot in the Dark on Reel 13A SHOT IN THE DARK is, for all intents and purposes, the second installment in the "Pink Panther" film series, in that it features Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. However, it was not originally meant to be so (Many people don't remember that "the pink panther" is actually not a ... read morePosted on 10/30/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of American Wake
American Wake on Reel 13So, did y'all watch AMERICAN WAKE – Channel 13's first independent narrative film airing as a part of their Reel 13 project? Right away, it lost points with me just by virtue of taking place in Boston (I am of the opinion that nothing good comes out of Boston, except ... read morePosted on 10/29/2008 by eplromeo8 Review of Tango Octagenario
Tango Octagenario on Reel 13It's interesting that TANGO OCTAGENARIO is the film that won the first Reel 13 Shorts contest because up until recently, reel13.org was only showing the first minute of each of the films and the first minute of TANGO is the worst part about it. It features an elderly ... read morePosted on 10/22/2008 by eplromeo8 |
