I made a diorama in third grade of Fantastic Mr. Fox- a book which I loved fondly- and seeing this film brought me back to that, only better and bolder, but with the same handmade quality of someone awed by the world they read. It's also wildly fu...
This is the debut production of JackandZack Films. It's a mockumentary about a legendary cult-film director, Jack Gattanella, who is making his latest film "Crest of Senses", and taking his two stars Zack and Hayley down into the depths of madness.

Hi Spillios. This is the first production of JackandZack Films (me being Jack, my friend and co-founder, Zack the other). It's about the legendary cult-film director Jack Gattanella creating his latest masterpiece "Crest of Senses" which is about....
I wonder if Robert Zemeckis weren't a filmmaker if he would have become a pilot. Look at his films and you may find a recurring shot in them, if not all then at least a good lot of them: a shot up in the sky, flying around and bringing the audie...

- About Me:
I love Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and Arizona Diet Green Tea, my lovely hug-muffin wife, your old-school Nintendo like Super Mario 3, swimming till I kill sharks, and ping pong - and movies like the ones listed below or by directors below. Check out some other reviews of mine at www.film-forward.com, cool indie site out of NYC.
"No cellphone use. No texting during the movie. No talking out loud. No sucking up the last Coke out of the Kidney-Buster. It is permitted to laugh, or to scream when a movie scares the crap out of you. It's okay to join in the general chuckle after the It's only a cat! moment is over. There was a special by-law forgiving Pauline Kael for saying "Oh! Oh! Oh!" in astonishment. It is acceptable, but rarely, to join in a general audience uproar, as at the first Cannes press screening of "The Brown Bunny." Even then, no cupping your hand under your armpit and producing fart noises."- Roger Ebert
"Someday, we'll all have hats."- George Carlin
"Somewhere in the bowels of Los Angeles, there's an underground facility. The gaping maw of this factory is fed tons of living tissue imported in rickety boxes from all across the world. Pipes hiss and panels glow as fresh ideas are chewed up, reconstituted, and shat back out. They're polished and prettied with cheap makeup, making sure each one is not too unlike the one before it. After being shrink-wrapped and oxygen starved, a team of ghouls sings sweet songs about them and grins with their preternaturally gleaming teeth, cooing at us to buy these shiny droppings. Welcome to Hollywood."- LEOG's Jason

A Christmas Carol that FLIES + Jim Carrey!
I wonder if Robert Zemeckis weren't a filmmaker if he would have become a pilot. Look at his films and you may find a recurring shot in them, if not all then at least a good lot of them: a shot up in the sky, flying around and bringing the audience along (i.e. the feather in Forrest Gump, the pull-back through the valley and mountains in Beowulf, Back to the Future with the… Continue

The Fourth Kind, or: The Owls Are Not What They Seem...
I didn't believe for a moment that the "actual footage" in the movie The Fourth Kind was actually actual footage. Surely one would have heard of stories of a relatively unknown filmmaker named Olatunde Osunsanmi crafting a docu-drama out of footage from actual alien abductee interviews from some years ago. It should be no surprise that it is just a gimmick to make the story of UFO abduction more credible, which is all well and good. Indeed this wasn't even really the problem in and of itself I h… Continue

A post-festival-pre-release review of THE ROAD
"I will kill anyone who touches you. Because that's my job."
The wonderful thing about the Road is that it will more than likely please the two camps: the one that has not read Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning book, and the one that has. There's the nervous feeling one g… Continue

REVIEW: Fires on the Plain (1959)
Director Kon Ichikawa had lived through world war two, and saw what its effects it had on his people in Japan. But so did novelist Shohei Ooka, whose book was the inspiration for Ichikawa's film,… Continue

Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, or a child's kingdom
It's taken Spike Jonze a while to write, film, edit and (after some wrestling with Warner brothers over the final cut) release his adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. One who greatly admires filmmakers will wait especially for a filmmaker who takes his time in creating something after years of wait. Now, the filmmaker who first came on the scene with Being John Malkovich, once again gives me a one-word response with this third film of his: Wow. Hot damn. That's two more. Th… Continue

BUT, on a plus side, it's been getting nothing but rave reviews so far, so perhaps its better than it seems?
What have you done to my good friend Wallie Whiplash? Who's this 'Dr. Lightning' fellow with the strange Kool-Aid Man and Benjamin Franklin avatar?
WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!?!
Nah, seriously, what's with the name & avatar change? I'm missing my friend WALL-E with his bra. :(
