Some funny moments, but the joke with the Dad laughing went on just a little too long for my taste.

I tried to review this one but for some reason I can't see it because it's in Quicktime.

This felt like a bad home movie. What was up with the insane jump cuts? And nothing ruins trying to be funny like your actors laughing while they're delivering their lines. You can do better.

An interesting attempt, although didn't have too much to do with Christmas. Your sound needs some work. Also, please cut down on the zooming, maybe some panning in or dolly shots could work there instead. The "Shaun Of The Dead" ripoff was just a little too obvious here.

"A Merry Christmas Disaster" by CPP - Reviewed on December 26th, 2005

Serious amounts of green screen action going on here, not sure if that's good or not. I've read the posts on the forum about the content of this film, so I'm not quite sure how to comment on this any further.

Good job to TheRev, the best entry on here this week by far. Different actors than who you usually use. Only thing I would say is that some of your lighting appears kind of yellowish, but maybe that's due to the video compression? Anyway you get my vote.

There were a lot of continuity problems on this one with the scene jump cuts going on and the actor's actions not matching up. And you shouldn't use takes where we can tell your actors are laughing at their lines, even though it is funny tio them. It just takes a viewer out of the moment completely. There were some lighting issues here too.

Personally I think you can do much better, and have done much better in your previous entries, like your "Satan Duck" haiku.

"Operation Christmas" by Riverbend Films - Reviewed on December 26th, 2005

Um, was this an ad for Chevy trucks? Please don't use the Kill Bill music again, I love it as much as everyone else but it's way too overused.
