Frank DanCoolo

     Frank DanCoolo, is this week's short of the week. This film was a total fluck. I literally sat at my computer like what the flip and thinking this was total trash. The concept was a bust, but the creativity was very cool. I like the futuristic, Toyko feel it had. Also the line "the power of my uterus," was the best line in the film. The film was about this reporter getting the "story of the century" about an alleged murder/drug dealer. She finds out that he was dealing pills that contained stuff that will be able to give the user an insight of the future. But the users who overused the drug died. Then the film went into this weird thing about the drug dealer guy fighting with weird aliens. Even the editor, I guess of the nbewspaper, was an alien as well. At the end, the drug dealer guy saved the reporter and they made a plan to get high. Confused? Yeah I was too. This film was a total fluck and had nothing to do with anything.

The Third and the Seventh

     The Third and the Seventh is very different from the previous shorts of the week. This one is shots of different places. The director is capturing the essence of the place; different and unique places. He used different and obstruct views to capture it. He did that by not using dialogue, characters, and little and light background. I liked the horizontal lines, bright and clear colors, and bright contrast. The focus was clear and the movement of the camera was precise. It was boring, but the essence captured my attention.

Please Say Something

     Please Say Something, is very interesting concept wise. It is a story of a cat (the female) and a mouse (the male) and their relationship. The mouse is a writer and a very abusive partner to the cat. The cat in my opinion is a naive character. She is blinded by love and keeps taking the abuse the mouse gives. When she does threaten to leave, being the deciever he is, the mouse offers to take the cat on vacation. While on vacation everything is fine and they seem so in love. On the way home, they argue over the radio and the mouse looses control of the car. The cat is harmed and is hosiptalized. The mouse reflects on how badly he has done her and begins to miss her. He sits at home and the scarf the cat lost magically appears again. The mouse returns the scarf and everything changes for the better. Although the film had a nice concept and nice shapes, the noises were kind of annoying. I do feel they executed the concept creatively.
