Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Still Life" (not to be mistaken for the 2013 Marsan movie) is a short film directed by Jon Knautz, written by Charles Johnston and starring Trevor Matthews from roughly 10 years ago. Nother of the trio is very famous, although you may have come across the director or star if you have seen the Robert Englund horror comedy "Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer".Anyway, in this short movie we see a man driving for a bit until he hits somebody with his car, probably because he was very sleep and took some pills. He gets out right away to see what happened when he realizes the victim is a dummy. When he gets in a nearby shop or café to ask for help, it is full with dummies sitting there anyway. When he looks away for a second and looks back, he sees the dummies have moved and are all looking at him now. This I found the most intense moment of the film, more intense than the violence afterward, as for the first time we realize something is very wrong in a truly spooky manner. The snowy weather and barren landscape helps the atmosphere.Later on, he gets in a fight and kills a couple dummies with a baseball bat. Now, I am not sure I entirely understood this short film. I thought the protagonist was hallucinating from the medication, which would explain the dummies, but does not explain why they stand still every time he looks at them, especially the family father when he is in motion with the baseball bat. Maybe there is something more to it. In the end, probably with the effects of the drugs slowly fading, everything becomes real again. The blood is the first indicator, the cops are the second and the corpses are the final one. Man, is he in trouble now.What I liked about these 9 minutes was the clever way they packed brutal violence in it, but still made it watchable for younger audiences. Another thing I thought about was the idea that every time we look somewhere, everything happens where we don't look. For example, the very second you read my review, probably somebody gets beaten up with a baseball bat and you don't see it. Anyway, I enjoyed this short film. it is far from perfect, but makes for a good watch. Recommended.

Ocrisia I absolutely adored this short. It was one of the first I'd seen (since then I've been watching shorts a lot) and yet it remains one of the best. Probably, for me, the best. I had to go back and watch again, just because I wanted to look for clues. The actor does a very good job, an the ending is just brilliant I thought. You can kind of imagine what is coming, but still, the way it's done is just eerie. The director creates a great sense of tension, and it reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. Check it out, especially if you like psychological horror. This is absolutely worth watching, and even if you don't like it (although I can't imagine anyone not liking it) it's only 5 minutes of your life.

manjodude Wow. It blew my mind in just 8 minutes! Crisp, effective direction, elegant camera-work, apt music & also admirable support to this artwork by actor Trevor Matthews.I don't think anyone really knew where this movie was going till the shocking climax. And that's when it just clicks on what happened.Of course, no one could that be that devoid of reality but this is a movie and it should captivate us, sense or no sense. And it did.Also, a good message by the makers of the movie that really hits home. Wish the movie had continued longer with more interplay between Trevor and the mannequins. It would have been awesome.

wnouse Being told this was a horror film, I was a bit skeptical as to how this film would play out in the opening scene. When our main character hit what appeared to be a mannequin and tried to get help with the results only making the man seem even crazier, the man's pill popping in the car finally made sense. By the end of it all, it ended up being a brutal depiction of what some sort of fictional drugs can do to people. I like some aspects of the screenplay such as the fact that it kept you guessing what would happen to the main character next in the creepy town of moving mannequins. This really kept my interest which most dialogue-less movies don't do. Overall, this was a good short film, but it wasn't exactly the greatest thing I've ever seen so I give it an 8 out of 10.
