I saw this last night on LOGO, and I have to say that it was terrific, like a lost episode of "Square Pegs," or something.
The short film tells the story of the splendid Sissy Frenchfry, a sorta Ferris Bueller for our times (winningly played by the charming Steven Mayhew, a possible Mormon, methinks), and how an interloper tries to take over his turf at West Beach High.
The interloper, a hunky jock with the alarming name of Bodey McDodey, does his best (which is, happily, not good enough to defeat Sissy) to take over the school, but good prevails !
A really wonderful film, I'd like to buy it on DVD, and I will be keeping my eyes open for anything new from director J.C. Oliva.
UPDATE: I actually have a copy of the DVD now, and I LOVE it !!!

This is one of Amazon's "mini-movies," and, as such, it serves as an advertisement for the site, which seems to have upset some punters, but not me, since I quite enjoy adverts, especially ones as well made as this one. "Careful" has a nice little moral, and it features good work by all of the actors, notably Raymond O'Connor as a sleazy pawn shop owner, and Geoffrey Gould & Patty Lotz acquit themselves nicely as a long-married couple who still are enough in love to make out ( ! ) I checked www.IMDb.com for some information on one of the writers, Greg Hahn, and he has also worked on the BMW adverts ("The Hire"), which were also very effective pieces of marketing; I'd be curious to see what he could do working on a full feature.
This is a short,that became a music video, actually, about a guy named Roy playing air hockey with himself on a roof top in Los Angeles (I assume); as most know, air hockey is more fun when played with an actual opponent, so Roy tosses a bucket of water over the roof, in hopes of soaking up an opponent from down below. Not surprisingly, a very wet yuppie-looking chappie appears, and he would rather throttle Roy than play air hockey with him. The two principals in the video acquit themselves very well. The yuppie guy, played by Jason Cole, is very effective at showing his ire over being drenched by Roy, who is delightfully played by Geoffrey Gould, in a performance that brings to mind Harpo Marx. Very nicely done, indeed.
