Spider (2007)
Stark, Graphic Short Film
Nash Edgerton is to be commended for the quality of his directing as well as that of his acting. His Jack is a convincing portrayal of a young man in the process of making amends for his part in an unspecified spat between he and Jill (Mirrah Foulkes). Ms. Foulkes does an equally fine job in her role, letting herself be wooed back into the relationship via chocolates and flowers. There are humorous bit parts by the clerks in a Quick Stop, and good parts played by the EMT's. Special effects are surprisingly good for a short film on a small budget. I still haven't figured out how they managed the scene in which Jill is struck by a car as she jumps back from the spider - too realistic. The needle in Jack's eye is also guaranteed to make your toes curl in sympathetic horror. In all, a very believable vignette. I look forward to seeing more productions from Blue Tongue Films.
We Married Margo (2000)
Outrageous, Hilarious
Pay no attention to Xabbu's comments. This movie is a riot from the start. Fast paced comedy based on real life experiences between the two male leads, Rock & Jake,(William Dozier & J.D. Shapiro) and their mutual "ex", Margo. Jillian Johns does a great job as Jake's on again-off again girlfriend Tracy. One gathers the impression that Margo is a man-eater as she runs through partners quickly and ruthlessly. Cameos made by established Hollywood names sprinkled throughout the film lend an air of credibility to the story, though the leads are for the most part unknown talents. The movie is funny enough that I go out of my way to watch it every time it airs on Independent Film Channel (IFC) and I've probably seen it half a dozen times already. I would quickly purchase a copy of this film if it were available on DVD. If you need a movie to lift your spirits or just appreciate a good laugh, We Married Margo is for you.
