Limes with Orange

First of all, what the frack is going on with the voting public?! I haven't watched Canadian Idol yet, but I heard that Greg Neufeld was eliminated. And I was so sure he would be in the top 3. And now Zach Lipovsky gets eliminated from On The Lot?! I really thought he was going to win the whole thing. I must stop predicting things; I think I just end up jinxing them instead! But I'm here to talk about the remaining competitors, so let's get to it:

Logline: A man wakes up and finds himself in a dress but can't remember what happened the night before

1. Will Bigham – "The Yes Men"

I thought this film was clever, fun, stylish and original. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

2. Sam Friedlander – "Dress for Success"

Even before Carrie mentioned "9 to 5," I was thinking Sam's film was rather derivative of that movie myself (I haven't seen "Saw" so I can't comment on how this film compares to that movie). I still thought it was pretty good, but the tag at the end was weak so it didn't really sell it to me.

3. Adam Stein – "Army Guy"

Um… have the judges never watched episodes of the original "Twlight Zone"? Because, no offence Adam, but this was incredibly derivative of Episode 79: "Five Characters in Search of an Exit." So it really bothers me that the judges are saying how original this was. It was good, yes… but not original.

4. Jason Epperson – "Oh, Boy"

This was definitely more of what I expect from Jason than his film last week. It was sweet and funny and optimistic (possibly a strange choice of words for a film that involves a bomb exploding, but I stand by that word in describing Jason's films).

My favourite film of the night? Once again, Will walks away with that honour. My predictions? Um...

I will not make predictions
I will not make predictions
I will not make predictions…
