Aim High (2011–2013)

Exceeding Expectation In a New Online Forum

[10/10 · 19 October 2011]

After watching the trailer we had high expectation as it appeared consistent with any trailer from a feature or new hit fully budgeted TV show. We have to say it did not disappoint. We were looking for content, picture quality, acting and overall editing.

Content: Getting the story line developed in such a short time frame is difficult, but I have to say they hit it spot on. Dolphin, Warner and McG have to be proud of this aspect. Overall I think Rathbone provided the perfect balance between comedy and action. He really lived up to the fame he earned in Twilight and this guy will be a star. This is a story line that any age group above 13 can enjoy. Given its duration of episode its perfect to watch for a quick break or a quick laugh.

Acting: They had a perfect cast for this series. This is one that we would be surprised if its not remade into a TV show or Feature in the future or just enjoys a long duration in the online environment.

Picture / Editing Quality: We saw nothing different than any feature. Constantly advancing technology, as McG put it, really enables productions to be done on par in almost any environment and budget. Amazing.

Cougar Club (2007)

Perfect Plot - Great Cast

[10/10 · 10 November 2007]

The movie has the perfect plot and timing.

They portray the pure aspect of what a "cougar" is through the cast as well as the acting.

Its definitely a cheesy comedy, but that is what the audience is looking for, at least what I was looking for.

Its essentially a national lampoons style movie - would compare to a Van Wilder or Old School style movie.

I am looking forward to the full release to see it again.

Good quality of writing as well as producing and looks like it was done with a much larger budget than what is estimated. Always good to see this in a independent movie.
