Aimy in a Cage (2015)

A fun arty film without rules

[7/10 · 26 December 2016]

Just a heads up, this is an art film. It's weird and unpredictable. So if you go into this expecting an easily defined setup, confrontation, and resolution, you will be bitterly disappointed.

If, however, you're the type of person who can hang with the uncomfortable, unconventional, and macabre...well you might still be disappointed, but at least you'll know why.

In this film you will find random characters and bizarre situations. You might identify metaphors or parallels with society. You might just sit and smile at the absurdity of it all. So here now is your choice. Dive in and see how you fare.

HoneyBee (2016)

Quirky B-horror/comedy with great energy

[7/10 · 4 December 2016]

I'm going to level with you. This film is not without its flaws. But what it lacks in production value it more than makes up for with great casting, clever dialogue, and a well-developed story. Not everything is explained, there's no great backstory, but this is not that type of film. The story we see is enough without having to explain the history of the characters (even though we do get a little of that).

What I loved about this quirky B-horror/comedy flick was the electrical chemistry of the cast (seriously, it was so fun watching them hang out), the fun 80's-style music (complete with a cameo from the GoGo's Jane Wiedlin!), and a slow-burn style story that pushes to a solid climax.

The Walking Dead: Last Day on Earth (2016) Season 6, Episode 16

Cliffhangers are not storytelling.

[2/10 · 4 April 2016]

We were prepared to make this the highest rated episode ever; similar to Thrones's Red Wedding. But instead you chose to structure the episode in a way that built suspense and emotion and story to a powerful climax, only to end it in what you're calling a cliffhanger (but what fans are calling a cheap marketing ploy) that completely screws up the pacing of a cathartic moment to the point that the frustration of the viewership now (once again) trumps the emotional magnitude of the actual storyline. That's why people are mad. They feel duped. Cheated. Taken for a ride. Played for a fool.

The producers said the disappointed fans are just whining. That type of slight says more about you than it does about us. Never underestimate your audience, and never undermine our b.s. detectors. You did this for the $PR, and nothing more and we all know it.

ETA: The writer's comparison/defense to the Lost finale of season 1 is not the same as Last Day on Earth. Locke's mission was to open the hatch. In the finale he opens the hatch. End of chapter, end of season. Neat closure for the audience with anticipation of what's inside. What happened in season 6's finale was like if Lost ended that episode at the part where Hurley is running toward the hatch yelling "the numbers are bad!". No closure, just slammed the book shut in the final sentence of one of the greatest chapters in the entire series.
