... View MoreBest movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View More"U.F.Oh Yeah" is the newest work by renowned short film director Ryan Connolly. It runs for 5 minutes and stars his brother Josh as the only actor in the film. As you may have guessed from the title, it is a mix of comedy and science fiction. A fat guy sees a UFO coming down near his place and he goes to welcome the guys. But the encounter does not go exactly as planned. The film is really about this encounter and the comedic moment there. Without this scene, it probably would not even deserve 4 stars. Unfortunately the production values are low and I am surprised Connolly's films have such a positive reception as I hardly see anything special in them. The biggest problem here is that the makeup work is really not good at all. It's obvious that he is wearing a fat suit and this hurts the film even more as his weight is a core plot point. Not a good outcome. Not recommended.
... View MoreI've been watching Film Riot since 2009 and it is a joy to see U.FOh Yeah showcase as amongst their best work. The storytelling and cinematography are well crafted and Josh's performance was stellar. Moreover, the lighting and sound were exceptional and the VFX was spot on.Watching a dynamic film within the indie short genre makes me happy to see what talent, dedication and hard work can do. The indie world is giving the studios a run for their money and I see it as a wonderful time to be a filmmaker.For my next film, Josh pack your bags and head out to sunny Cali....I have a role for you!
... View MoreI've been following the Film Riot team for over 5 years and they have always inspired me to make films. This film here is truly why I love their work. The lighting, cinematography, acting and direction are well executed here. It's a fun story with a great ending. The Film Riot team really pulled out the stops for this one and they were very successful with it.If you need a laugh, this is worth the watch. It's 5 minutes of your life, that you should spend on this little gem. Then go and find their behind-the-scenes they did on this, and see how much effort went into this production. Ryan makes every effort to teach you how everything came into place and show you all the struggles and successes. It's worth 5 minutes of your life, especially if you're a budding filmmaker.Ryan and the Film Riot team, thanks for the great film, my wife and I loved it.
... View MoreDoing a short doesn't mean short on talent, expense or lack of experience. Every camera movement and second of audio in this short adds to the experience, and any length of time reviewing it would be better spent just watching the video..... Lots of technical achievements packed into so short a time!The biggest let down of course, is so short of a film, it leaves you just wanting to see a whole series... to know more about the character. While only having a few moments with him, They did an amazing job at conveying the character's past, present, and desires that builds that connection with the viewers.
