Okay, so Z-Lister is one of those romantic comedies that we've all seen before. Boy meets girl, obstacle gets into way and boy must prove his love for her. But there's such a dynamic quality to the storyline that makes me want to watch it more. Writing is very funny and somewhat heartfelt to the audience... at least I felt it! I felt that the acting was a little shoddy, like the performance from Jon Malkovich and the step- daughter character Alex could be improved but besides from that the acting worked. I am a Martin Ballantyne fan, I love his work and knew he would be great to watch ever since he did 'Logg Time' but this one just stands out so badly. In a magnificent way! Hats off to Ballantyne, cause his acting in Z-Lister will be the best thing he ever does! Usually whenever I watch an ending to a film and don't want it to end, that's a very good sign. Note to the crew: make a sequel!!!

Logg Time
(2011 TV Movie)
A great attempt to a TV pilot
8 May 2013
Logg Time is the perfect portrayal of an average working male in their mid-30's. Comedy works, acting's brilliant and of course you get lovable characters. I am generally surprised there's no more episodes to this as I want to see more. That is compliment! However I have negatives thoughts about the pilot/TV movie which are as follows:
1. At the middle of the film it seems too slow and long-winded. 2. The condition of the film's a little off. Very grainy and in low-res. 3. Too 'Inbetweeners-ey'
Apart from that, a brilliant piece of work which is why I've given it such a generous rating. This talented writer Mr. Ballantyne needs to continue writing and he needs to never stop. I hope there's a 2nd episode in the making.
