On The Lot... again

I missed last week's episode of On The Lot and have yet to view the films from last week, so for now I'll keep my comments to the films shown tonight. My favourite was "Dance with the Devil" by Marty Martin (who directed "The Big Bad Heist" that I mentioned briefly in my previous post). My second favourite was "Polished" by Andrew Hunt (this is a little more like what I was expecting, though still not up there with his fantastic pitch session). I enjoyed "Beeline" by Shira-Lee Shalit, but felt that the acting was overdone. I'm not quite sure why this was a judge favourite, but c'est la vie.

Personally, I would opt to send Kenny Luby home. His work lacks narrative and I find it self-indulgent. The judges seem to be suggesting that it's simply experimental and independent but I've watched and enjoyed a lot of experimental and independent films and I stand by my statement that Kenny's work is neither. But it's possible that the popularity contest that is reality shows where viewers vote will keep cute Kenny and his charm and poor David May will be sent home instead. Tune in next week to see if I'm right.
