I have finally discovered who was eliminated from last week's comedies. It was David, who I rated next to last. However, the audience vote for best was Will, who I rated as worst. Go figure!
apskip:
Tuesday night's episode started with the elimination of Shira-Lee. We are now in the round of 10, with half the filmmakers competing to not be the one eliminated tonight. The films were:
Time Upon A Once by Zach - the title tells you that this film is based on making time go backwards; a couple moving into a new neighborhood do that to reverse the effects of an accident; this was an above average film
Worldly Possessions by Adam - a globe with unique powers arrives unexpectedly at the home of a suburban couple; they experiment and find consequences beyond what they could have imagined; this was a very funny film
The Legend of Donkey-Tail Willie by Hilary - a man with a donkey tail struggles to find love until he meets his match; this was dull and boring; this was the worst film of this group by so big a margin that I will be totally shocked if it Hilary is not the eliminated filmmaker
First Sight by Shalini - a pair of sunglasses gives its wearer a new perspective on the world around her; this was a terrific film; I was too late to vote but I would have voted for this one
Spaghetti by Will - a lost driver arrives at a ghost town and tries to find someone to give him directions; a gunfighter appears to challenge him to a duel; his cell phone goes off and he throws it at the gunfighter and knocks him out with it; this was another terrific film worthy of my vote if I was quick enough to make one
So, Shalini and Will are best, Adam is close behind, Zach has done fine, and Hilary's film is a loser. This week we have seen the average quality of the films sharply increase.
TexasLady:
I'm not impressed with Hilary at all, I was shocked that she survived last go round! I truly hope she goes next week.
apskip:
Justice was partially served. Hilary was eliminated from last week's contestants. Shalini was also eliminated and I did not think that was justified.
This week, my summary is WOW! 5 films were all winners. It will be tough to choose one filmmaker who deserves elimination, as I don't think any of them do. It is clear that the filmmakers have raised their performance as they are continuing in the competition. I think a major reason is access to better scripts that allow them to shine. Here is my recap:
Sam "Key Witness" A witness escapes a bounty hunter with "magic" after a harrowing chase by 3 thugs with guns. I thought this film was brilliant.
Mateen "Catch" A scheme by a con woman to trap an unexpecting mark is turned around as he is a policeman and she is the victim. This film is excellent.
Kenny "The Loser" A bald man with no experience but a knowledge of physics replaces his hurt son in an extreme downhill skateboard race is the victim of and giver of several tricks to his opponent on the way down the course. Dad loses but his racae was unexpectedly competitive, his son is happy, and a babe invites him to call her sometime. Another excellent film.
Jason "the Sweet" With 15 minutes before his wife's arrival home, a man rememberts it is their anniversary. He hurries out to get a present. On the way he has to do several herculean rescues. He buys her favorite flowers and gets back just in time. She appreciates his effort, but she is hurrying out as the film ends. This film is very good.
Andrew "Zero2Sixty" A fugitive is being hunted by an FBI agent and steals a car from a dealership. The agent comendeers the first car he sees and the car salesman comes with it. the salesman is using all his sellling points on the agent as he is chasing the other vehicle. When the salesman runs out of points, hs borrows the agent's gun, shoots out the tire ahead, makes the collar, and then asks the agent what financing is needed for him to buy the car. the agent responds "How about cash?" This is another brilliant film.
All 5 films had incredible motion and all filmmakers did a fine job of setting up those scenes and directing that motion. It is regrettable that one has to lose, but I would pick Jason as the least good of 5 really good films. Since there will be a second elimination, I cannot decide between Kenny and Mateen.
