Other’n what’s on teevee (so I can do Other Stuff while it’s on as well), I only had time for a few shorts, which I could watch in one sitting.
“Me 3.769”, which wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be. Only looked at imdb after I watched it. It’s a short, like 10min long, so came’n’went pretty quickly. Interesting enough, kid wants to be more “developed”, and has a rather unexpected and unpleasant encounter with a relative. Any more and I’d spoil it completely.
Eh, for 10min it’s definitely worth a watch, pretty good development in that time in both story and characters. Well, more like 7min ’cause there was about 3min of credits at the end.
Next up was “Flight”, which was surprisingly good. Jamaican flick, seemed “authentic”, about a boy who’s got his sights set on the stars and wants to travel to the moon, despite his dad’s rather brusque way of trying to squash that dream.
You kinda expect the dad to be an asshat, but that one moment of revelation about 2/3 of the way in should have you reaching for a tissue, especially watching dad’s performance, quite moving, even though it ended up being a feelgood flick.
Only 13min long, and it said everything it had to say in those 13min.
Last up, “Her Body”, another 10min flick. More horror than drama, a woman wakes up wrapped in plastic, left for dead, to be handed off to body-traffickers. Well, surprise, she’s alive, and she’s got to fight for survival while her kick-ass sister tries to find her.
Short, but surprisingly good. Definitely worth the watch.
3 for 3, pretty good.
