A 5 minute film dragged out to 23
19 September 2006
Smashing Steretotypes started off great! It had a clever idea, it was funny, and very entertaining. But then, it kept going on and on and on. There are at least 5 deleted scenes that were unnecessary and could have easily been removed without losing the essence of the story. It would have been a much stronger piece had it been cut down to the bone. The film ended up being repetitive and got to be too much in the end, like the point was being smashed into the face of the audience. The film's theme came across in the first 5 minutes, the rest of the film was pointless. The friend and girlfriend characters were unneeded and didn't add anything to the story. I enjoyed the film, but felt it would have been better had it been shorter. A 5 minute film dragged out to 23...

Sweet Valley High (1994–1998)
A Great Show!!!
17 June 2002
During its brief three year run, SWEET VALLEY HIGH was my favorite show. Cynthia and Brittany Daniel were wonderful in their roles of twin sisters Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield...I found that I couldn't miss a single episode, which was unlike me, and taped the ones that did air, watching them over and over...this was a truly underrated and mostly cleverly written show...I really wish it had gone on for a few more seasons, or at least continued on in SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY...I hope this reruns soon..

Julia Wept (2000 Video)
10/10
a superb achievement...
27 September 2001
One of the eleven films made in 2000 starring Brinke Stevens, JULIA WEPT is a half hour psychological horror short written and directed by Jason Paul Collum, whose other film credits include 5 Dark Souls 1 + 2, and Mark of the Devil 666.

Julia is plagued by nightmares of a terrifying car accident. When she finally wakes up, nothing in this world is the same. Her husband has disappeared, she can hear voices call to her from behind the walls, and inanimate objects terrifyingly come to life. To make matters worse, Julia is haunted by visions of the dead, including those of her sister, who died seven months before, and the mother and son victims of the accident from her dream. Alone and scared, Julia must fight for her life in the nightmarish hell this world has become for her.

Shot on a budget of only 100 dollars, this the film that deservedly gave director Jason Paul Collum the credit he deserves. The plot is great, and the film itself is very eerie. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing and at less then 30 mins, it was rather short, but time well spent. If you can find it somehow, watch it...
