Madeline & Cooper

As someone trying to make a film, this was pleasant to watch someone work with so little resources, yet create something entertaining and thoughtful. I'm not going to go into detail this review since I will probably be reviewing Raiff's debut feature film "Sh*thouse" later down the line when I revisit it, but this is amazing for a guy who just decided to act with some friends and use a college camera. Yeah it's not the fastest paced watch, but it does manage to simmer with you after the more you let each scene hit. You can see the seedlings of a great debut feature in here. Go and watch his first movie as it is one of the best college comedy's to come out in the last five years, and it was only made for $15k. Cooper sure has a gift for getting a lot out of his resources.

If you're reading this Mr. Raiff, keep up the great work in the independent scene and follow your voice. It is quite a heartfelt one that I enjoy seeing and hearing in this medium...
