BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

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.

Ell S With a rating of 8.4/10 I was expecting something really special but I was seriously disappointed with this film. If it wasn't for the fact Rachel Gilchrist is so attractive I'm not sure I'd have even finished watching this movie. I seriously recommend giving this a miss; it screams out naff no budget and is frankly boring & predictable, calling it a thriller is like false advertising. I've watched better fan made sci-fi films than this like Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning and Star Wars Revelations, they look less amateur. For the love of God I hope there is never a sequel. Perhaps if they fought with shovels instead of guns it would be more exciting.

Ertia MEMORIES OF TOMORROW is an interesting film, in that it's a spy thriller that's best when it's not interested in being a spy thriller. Other folks here have alluded to the story, so I won't belabor those points. Personally, it's not a genre that excites me much (so add a point or two to my score if you're a fan of the genre), but Tripuraneni does a good job of crafting a solid story and it ticks along nicely enough. Where MEMORIES really shines, though, is in its building of visual sequences and editing. There's a lot of downright visionary camera-work in here (especially considering this was shot on a Panasonic DVX-100A!), and there's places where the combination of the images, cutting, and sound design transported me to another level of appreciation, rare in the world of film-making, much less in the world of digital debut features. Personally, I'd love to see this crew take on a film that's even more abstract with a less conventional plot - the poetry of the aesthetics sometimes feels like it calls attention to the more standard scriptwriting devices. (TV broadcasters spoon-feeding out important plot details or the initial setup of the romance between the two lead characters, for instance.)In sum: well worth a look, especially for those curious about pulling off effective and aesthetically interesting no-budget film-making. If my rating seems low in comparison to my comments, it's partially because I don't grade on a scale for budget (so add two points if you do) and partially because I expect films from this crew in the future that will leave this film in the shade.

media-6 This was one of the films I was very eager to see at this year's Microcinema Film Festival in Chicago, and I was not disappointed at all.Everything from the cinematography, to the directing, the acting, and editing was all near perfect, in my opinion. Amit proved that you can make a great film, with a great story, cinematography, and acting, on a shoestring budget.I hope that more indie filmmakers take the time to make movies like this. If we get a good solid group of young directors and producers like Amit (and some others that were at the festival this year) I think that we can slowly prove that there is a market for independent films.Overall, a very entertaining piece of cinema that I highly recommend viewing, it's a "MUST SEE" for everyone. Definitely one of my favorite films of the past few years.I can't wait to see the next film from Amit. Keep em coming.

Killerstraw As a fan of the British school of espionage films/TV, I enjoyed the "need to know" approach the film took in regards to the exact details of who was working for who. What could so easily have been corny held together well as a intriguing film. I think the director got some nice work from his cast and crew. The film looks great, has a decent soundtrack, and the actors didn't go to far in their roles - often actors can get carried away with an action/thriller film. They can forget that for the characters involved the rough and tumble violence is just part of the job. A professional doesn't feel the need to show off, they just get the job done and try and stay alive.For an imaginative thriller you can't go wrong giving this a try.
