Eagle Vs. Shark [2007]

starring: Joel Tobeck, Jemaine Clement, Loren Horsley, Brian Sergent, Rachel House
directed by: Taika Waititi

Release Date January 21, 2008
Yes, this Napoleon Dynamite set in New Zealand. There are so many similarities to the above-average Napoleon that it is almost a parody, except it contains very few laughs. So contrived it actually made me cringe. Cliche after cliche after cliche.

The writer/director has noted the popularity of "quirkiness" in indie films, and his script-by-numbers attempts to conform to as many stereotypes in this genre as humanly possible.

Little depth, less than endearing characters, predictable, self-gratuitous and pointless.

A dismal film. Those who love quirky, dry indie films, and those who do not, AVOID. Watch Science of Sleep. Or Squid and the Whale... or Wes Anderson films, or, hell, anything else. You will ... Read More:

Best V Best - Volume One [2005] - Award Winning Short Films

directed by: Patricia Riggen, Christine Molloy, Joe Lawlor, Hattie Dalton, Jake Polonsky

Release Date August 14, 2006
I love short films, and am glad to see independent short films being supported, but this collection i didnt think much of, it contains 7 films some are arty farty, others have poor sound quality. It is however almost worth buying for the short film Little Terrorist, which is the best film on this collection, I only hope vol 2 of best v best is better than this.
