douglasbrewer-74526 This is a great independent feature made for a mere 100,000 dollars and all the great things that come with limited budget is on display here: minimal locations, great cast, fantastic dialogue delivery and great plot. This film is the birth of a great filmmaker in Charlie Mcdowell- Keep an eye out for the lad. (Great independent film by a new talent)

rdoyle29 SPOILER: Mark Duplass and Elizabeth Moss are married and their marriage is on the rocks. Duplass cheated, and they are trying to make things work again. They are seeing therapist Ted Danson, who suggests they take a weekend for themselves at an out of the way resort he knows of. They go and discover that if either of them enter a small guest house on the premises by themselves, another, slightly better version of the other one is in the house. This is a great premise in search of a better movie. What's here is not bad, and in fact, their initial reactions to the set up is quite good. It's the last act that is really not up to it. The film doesn't let the premise remain a mystery. It explains enough to try to ground the film in reality without explaining enough to really make any sense. It's too bad because both Moss and Duplass are great, and what the film does well,in particular grappling with the idea of what you may have lost as the years go by, it does really well.

Shalaw Fatah (Spoiler Alert) 1. What's interesting about this movie is the idea, which is unique, but everything else is nonsense. 2. The main idea is good. However, the other sideline stories are so bad that you lose interest in the whole movie. 3. The movie seriously needed more twists and interesting story lines, but it feels like the writer didn't care much. 4. Also such movies need more intimate feelings and synergy, but the actors were seriously like imitating for kids, not in a serious movie. 5. The revelation of the story was bad, it could have been much nicer. 6. The movie is not good enough to watch.

punishmentpark A nice poster, a terrible title, some actors I vaguely recognize who might be good, some good reviews, some bad reviews and a plot that would be reminiscent of the work of Spike Jonze. Well, okay, I'm game.The plot is nicely proportioned within the full length of the movie, though the twists and turns only come júst in time here and there. One could try to get lost in the sci-fi or fantasy (or something else? religious, even?) details of the story, but actually, it all seems pretty clearcut to me. Or worse, at the end of the film I didn't really care that much. The overly fabricated plot reminded me a bit of 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind', but that film has pizazz (no, not pizzas), great acting and... well, pizazz! Not that I totally disliked this attempt at romantic originality, but it was all a bit bland and aloof. The biggest, most obvious fail was Ethan1 crying out in the end how much he loved them being such romantic screw ups (or words to that extent)...... really?5 out of 10.
