Boom Man has everything you'd expect in a short film and much much more. There is romance, drama, action, and comedy, all mixed into the role of Alex, played by the awesomely funny Jim O'Brien. Alex is a writer who has a few problems that he needs to over come to cure his writer's block, one being his affinity for cats. I have been a fan of Jim's stand-up and hilarious songs for years. Finally someone starred him in a movie and, in my opinion, it was a smart move. Steven Wright has definitely out done himself here, and I can't wait to see the two of them team up again, for not only a short, but maybe even a full-length feature film. All I can say is that I hope these guys keep it up!!!!

The first time I ever saw The Cathedral, I was sitting in Film class in high school. It was the only movie all year that I didn't want to end. It held my attention, from the beginning to the end. In fact I didn't even notice that I didn't blink until my contacts blurred over. The computer animation is just stunning, the soundtrack is beautiful, and the story is brilliant; there can be so many different interpretations. Once I saw The Cathedral, I wanted to watch it again and again. If you get a chance to see this film definitely see it, see what you think it means. You'll definitely have fun trying to figure out the meaning of it all.
