Movie Review: Not "The Rope," But That's Good
Summary: 4 Stars

You may remember the Hitchcock's movie, "The Rope" that was shot using one camera and uninterrupted real-time filming technique. Unlike the "The Rope" which was more of a stage play, "Running Time" actually runs. The main character played by Bruce Campbell, is released from prison, picked up by friend, has sex with a prostitute (later revealed to be his high school girlfriend), pulls off a heist, is shot, and runs from the law. Great chemistry between all the actors propels this unique film. Shot in black and white, this film is known in the Indie world as a classic. Written and directed by Josh Becker, one of the Detroit gang.

Movie Review: Better than it had any right to be!
Summary: 4 Stars

A movie centred around a gimmick, brought to you by the man who gave us Alien Apocalypse (yes, the movie with the inexplicably bad fake beards) and starring Bruce 'groovy' Campbell, this could have been one of those movies you regret watching. However, it turned out to be rather enjoyable. Perhaps a little cliche heavy and you do have to wonder at the probablility of a prostitute of ten years breaking into tears at being let down, but by far the positives outweight the negatives. Well planned, the technical execution was impressive and well acted by all involved, I found myself completely hooked as events spiral out of control. Absolutely enjoyable - I would definitely recommend watching it if you get a chance!

Movie Review: Nice
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a cool little film here. It is a under 90 minute film that takes place in real time and achieves the effect of being all one continuous take, which is impressive. To the sharp eye, I believe there are actually 2-3 cuts in the film that are well hidden and take nothing away from the enormity of the project undertaken on a small budget. Bruce Campbell turns in a good performance, Anita Barone is hot, and the film moves along in an interesting way. Fans of unique cinema and Bruce Campbell will have fun with this.

Movie Review: Well Done!
Summary: 4 Stars

You could definitely do worse with 70 minutes than watch this fun Bruce Campbell film. While all the cuts are not nearly as seamless as you may have been led to believe, you don't notice the majority of them. The pace is consistent and well-suited to the plot, and the acting is generally pretty good. If you're a fan of Bruce Campbell, this is definitely a must-see. If you're not, it's still worth a look.

Movie Review: 'Running Time' Good!
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie was a different sort of movie, no big action scenes or special effects, just acting and story. Filmed in what appears to be 1 shot, keeps real time pace. How long does it take to have a bad day? 'bout 80mins. Or rather 60 mins, because this guys day started out alright.
