The Night Before (2003)

Beautiful Execution!!

[10/10 · 29 April 2006]

Film was extremely well done, well shot and beautifully directed. Jay Holben makes his mark as an aggressive yet sensitive director in this short film, worth seeing if you can get your hands on it :)

Although shot on miniDV, the short has beautiful composition and lighting not common in other shorts.

Making a film with young kids is extremely tough, let alone a few of them. But the passion behind Jay Holben and his team lead to a beautiful execution of a very tough shoot

Hopeful to see this film tour successfully on the festival circuit as this will no doubt make a very worthwhile viewing

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Nice Work...but....

[30 May 2003]

The Matrix Reloaded is definitely worth the money watching. I was very disappointed by it when I actually watched it cause of how overhyped it was. I expected so much more. People were telling me the trailers were only the basic fight scenes .etc. Maybe they are to be blame, but aside from the overhype, put Matrix Reloaded as a film by its own and it deserves very high commendations. Good job to the filmmakers! You've worked hard and you deserved it!
