Apple Jack

I got this film from my friend Amber, i really like Sci-Fi films, and this is just one of the best ones ive seen, not only is it Sci-Fi but my favorite actors, Dylan and Cole Sprouse are in it! The movie rules, hands down. Onto the review.

The movie starts off with two criminals escaping from a prison, it moves onto a young boy named Jack Pyne (D+C Sprouse) who lives with his Father in a small house in a very VERY deserted area, next door is an old man who's listening to the radio. Over the radio there are numerous reports of UFO sightings, well the movie continues on and the little boy finds the two criminals, and man does this kid have aim. I dont wanna spoil any of the movie for you, so im leaving it at this.

The movie is great the acting is awesome, and i just can't say enough good things about this film., The little mask that Jack Pyne wears is so cool, i love it. The movie is just...above words. There's nothing bad about this film, although i wish the swearing were cut down so i could show it to my little brothers, but its all right, ill just cough or something. This is a short review, but only because i can't say enough good things about this film, just incredible. 10/10. PROBABLY THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR! Lol

Too often, short films are vanity projects, or expensive exercises in personal therapy, of interest to the perpetrator and to no one else. It is the rare short that is intended to entertain as well as communicate. Apple Jack is such a film, a dark, quirky, slyly humorous tale of karmic justice told in a deft sure fashion. Technically assured, polished, faultlessly rhythmic, simply gorgeous visually. Sharply etched performances. A pure gem. Thank you for the treat.

This is an effort of a man we should keep our eyes on. As Hitchcock started as an art director, so it is with Mark Whiting. His powers of visualization are truly a mazing. This short, even though filmmaking is the collaborative art, can said to be handmade by the filmmaker. All of the great talent of Whiting was brought to bear on the superlative look of this project. The multi-dimensional characters display the masterly direction of the talent. It left me wanting to see more and I am sure we shall surely see it.

Prepare your retina for a gorgeous work of art. This twisted tale of 'time and precision' hooks you from the very first frame to it's final flicker. Witness a case study of good old-fashioned story telling, meticulously mixed with subtle but effective cutting edge technology. A motion picture marvel that brilliantly reveals the fate of a couple of knuckleheaded cons, a visually challenged farmer and an impeccably perceptive kid on the eve of the biggest UFO scam, ever!

Beautifully shot, not unlike the best of Hitchcock, this glimmering 'mini-epic' can be visually enjoyed with the audio turned off. The dazzling deft and dexterity of the camera work is so intoxicating, you'll find yourself instantly pulled into a world of profoundly complex relationships. With a highly personal point of view and an intimate eye that embellishes the tiniest details, groundbreaking director- Mark Whiting ignites the imagination while stimulating our sense of wonder. After Lucas and Spielberg, SOMEONE had to be next.

Keep an eye on this guy.

Thought this film had style and integrity. Also good story telling (to cram all that into 15 odd minutes with a begining ,middle and end structure to the story ).Reminded me of the robert mitchum classic "Night Of The Hunter ".Looking forward to seeing more like this .
