Pieces of Talent (2014)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

i must have seen a different film!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This was such Shiite, I watched the whole thing, I doubt anyone else has. Another idiot with a camera and 20 bucks. All reviews are "unpaid" involved... includes IMDb. Try to watch it... you won't last, it sucks so bad it's painful. Oh the mess that made this will add tons of codoos to erase mine.... I hope I saved some of you time..........Shame on you... SHAME....BE EMBRRASSED for your involvement in this......

If you like movies about fat hairy men walking around in their underwear most of the movie with a video camera this is for you. Very disappointed, I bought this movie at Scare-A-Con after watching a very promising trailer. They raved about all the great reviews they received but saw no evidence of anything I wanted to watch again. This movie was very boring, not scary at all. I read some other review on here about all the smoking going on in the movie which I probably would never have noticed on my own but now that I have wow, nearly every character during the entire movie is smoking cigarettes. I'm sure if you were an artist hippie you would love this movie.

A- Possibly the most likable psychopath in the history of cinema.I don't watch horror movies to see people survive. I like a good killer that I can root for. Usually that means a unique killing style or good one liners. Sometimes a killer can be impressively devious or have so much personality you have to like him. It's very rare in horror to see a performance that makes you genuinely like the character as a person. David Long is a psychopath you could go bowling with. He seems like a fun guy. I mean, yeah, he kills people, but it's okay. That's just David. Kristi Ray is the perfect compliment. She's a little damaged by circumstance, but still a pure sparkling soul that would be irresistible to any goodhearted homicidal maniac.Joe Stauffer is definitely a director to look out for. This movie isn't just good for an indie film. It's a masterpiece. The performances, cinematography, writing, every aspect is top notch. It hits every note that a movie should hit. It's twisted, but also sweetly romantic. It's an art film. It's funny. I mean, if all you want is 'splosions this isn't for you, but if you want to see a well-executed original film that will stick with you, this is it.

Plot summary: Charlotte is an aspiring actress looking for her big break, and David is a wannabe filmmaker looking for a project. Will their chance encounter evolve into a beneficial collaboration? As Charlotte tries to pique David's interest in casting her for his next project, she won't believe what sort of film he's in the process of making.Just as Hannibal Lector makes or breaks "Silence of the Lambs," the success of this story hinges on the actions and motivations of the villain, David. You have to suspend your disbelief and accept that David does what he does because he's crazy and crazy is what crazy does. I wasn't convinced. Just as David is a wannabe filmmaker, he's also a wannabe serial killer. While getting the job done, on both counts he's clumsy and unimaginative, amusing himself but not the audience. In the pantheon of movie psychos, David is little league. As he is shocking but uninteresting, so goes the movie.The standout is Kristi Ray as Charlotte, who she plays convincingly. David Long, playing a character named after himself, may be a convincing actor. He needs to write a more coherent character to showcase his acting abilities.As horror, this film is mundane. Where the story excels is as an indictment of Hollywood culture--the sleazy producer, the egomaniac actor, the manipulative director. The story is eerily self referential for the actors while making the film, portraying filmmakers who get unwittingly lured into a snuff film and having to wonder if that was happening to them in real life as well.
