Jason did it again!

I thought his film about the 50th highschool reunion was funny and cute. I liked how he put himself in it too, but not to get attention to himself. It fit right in.

Zack is starting to have more troubles now when we can't be dazzled by special effects anymore. Increasingly others do better than him.

The lamp one was pretty good too. Second place for me.

Kenny is gone.  Thank goodness.  Only about 6 weeks too late.  I also gotta say that Mateen's cockiness was really bugging me.

THE BONUS FEATURE: Yeah, it's becoming evident that Zach lacks the ability to tell a story.  He takes situations and dazzles them up with special effects and that's about it.  I did like the spoofs, but as a whole this one flopped.

GIRL TROUBLE: This was kind of funny.  I didn't think it was as great as some of the judges made it out to be and the ending was just so-so.  

UNPLUGGED: If Will doesn't win this then he definitely has a future in family entertainment.  As Carrie repeatedly states, it would be nice to see some dialogue, but I'm thinking that it's just not his style, which is okay if he were to go work for Pixar or something.  And that's not supposed to sound like a putdown.  

KEEP OFF GRASS: Didn't like this one.  The two folks who played the superheroes were great, but as a whole it was a letdown.  The first stinker from Andrew IMO.

AMERICAN HOE: Didn't like this one either.  What else is there to say?  It just wasn't that good.

OLD HOME BOYZ: Another gem from Jason.  He's got a great style, tells good stories, has great acting as well as knowing when it's a good time to use special effects.  Best of the bunch this week.

I'd say that Sam is going home with Zach as a sleeper.  I seriously think his parking meter is about to expire.

I disagree with you about Zack, greg. His film Die Hardly Working (which I think is without a doubt the best OTL film yet) was without special effects and all about the storytelling.

That said, The Bonus Feature wasn't that good. It's was too homagy, if that's a word. Too many snide references without them being funny.

Here's the run-down for me:

1. UNPLUGGED
A genuinely cute love story between two lamps. The effects were perfect and the tensioning and build-up impeccable.

2. GIRL TROUBLE
Although I already saw this concept on a British sketch comedy show ("Man Stroke Woman", I think), it was really well done. I kinda saw the ending coming but still it shouldn't have ended any other way.

The remaining four can go for the tie. Didn't do much for me. I don't know what people see in Jason though. I think the whole "old people doing young things is funny" got tired with Cocoon 20 years ago...

I might be the only one still watching this...

Todays winners were Will and Adam.

I hate to say, but Jason's misfired.

The real loser tonight however was Zack. I actually think he should go home now.

Will seems like a nice guy and he does a good job. I wouldn't mind if he won.

I just love the fact that Adam, the most inconspicuous guy of the lot still is around and still is making top-notch films. Here's a guy who lets his WORK speak for him instead of vying for the spotlight and controversy.

I'm not a big fan of Zach's latest combo, but I didn't think there were any decidedly bad films this time around. Sam, Zach and Jason didn't do much for me, and while Will's was a little better, it wasn't that effective.

Adam is the winner of this round and I hope he goes all the way.

I actually like all three guys that are left. I probably like Jason maybe a tad more just because he's from the south.

Don't anyone try to tell me Adam is from the south. If you live in the south, you'd know Miami ain't the south!!

Anyway, whoever wins this, I'll be happy for them and I will be happy to pay to go see their first movie in the theaters.

Only one show left... strange show, but I still enjoyed it.

I missed an episode a couple weeks back and that pretty much took me off the wagon for this show.

I did briefly tune in tonight, however, and I'm kind of confused.  So, the remaining 3 directors are rescreening their favorite films?  And then we vote again based on what they did in the past?  Dude, what?  

What are they doing for the finale?  

Wait, so who's left?

Jason, Adam, and Will. Sam went home.

So Zach went home too? I must've missed something.

Anyways. I hope Adam wins and Will's in second. I don't know what Jason's doing there.

I hope either Jason or Adam will win. Everytime they interview Will he mentions having to give up his dreams for his family if he doesn't win. The first four times we alright, I guess...but after that it seems very much like he's trying to get pity votes.


-Chris

Okay, so I'm watching the finale. It's halfway over and I'm already bored. They're showing the old films again!!!!!

What is wrong with these people?  

If it's against the rules to double post, feel free to merge them.

Sooooo, Will is the winner!

I really liked him. He seemed like a nice guy and I hope he'll do well. I was kind of hoping Jason would win. He seemed a bit of an underdog, but IMO made nice films.

I never really felt Adam was a contender for the ultimate prize, but if he'd won I would've been happy for him.

Anyway, show's over. Great idea, terrible execution.

Good luck Will!! I will pay to go see your first film!
