Calling it a sum of its parts can be a backhanded compliment, but it feels like especially worthy praise for Boyhood, considering how much went into making it feel whole.
We can quibble with small stuff in Boyhood. Supporting performances are variable, the sister drops out as a dramatic character ... I could go on. But the cumulative power is tremendous.
While everything about Boyhood is done with extraordinary care, the master stroke was clearly the casting, 13 years ago, of a little Texas boy named Ellar Coltrane.

Stoklasa and Bauman deliver exactly what you would expect from the people who brought us the Plinkett Reviews. Feeding Frenzy is a satirical homage to 'B movies' with a great mix of horror & hillarity. You must see this at least once.

This was made for practically nothing. It's a weird homage/parody of movies like Gremlins and Critters. The good thing is that it is competently made (for the most part) and self aware of what it is. It would have been a trainwreck if they had tried to make a serious horror film out of this. Very funny and entertaining. Worth checking out if you're into this sort of thing.

A *hilarious* and very well-directed film: it doesn't take itself seriously with respect to plot, but it doesn't mess around when it comes to high quality, well-filmed shots. This is the ultimate evolution of the 80's B-Horror-Movie. It is a remarkable accomplishment on its own, but even more so when viewed in the context of older movies of the same genre and Red Letter Media's first feature film, "Gorilla Interrupted."
Prior to watching Feeding Frenzy, I binge-watched a few dozen movies over the span of a week; the films I watched were (mostly) brilliant, including films from some of my favorite directors (Hitchcock, Welles, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson, etc). I also watched a bunch of 80s B-movies and crappy horror flicks (which I love).
What I found amazing was that this film, in stark contrast to the horror films, was impeccably shot: it held its own against movies largely revered as some of the greatest in the history of cinema for a minute percentage of the budget and manpower. Furthermore, it was a very well written movie with numerous hilarious moments; at points I would just rewind certain scenes because my friends and I found them tear inducingly funny.
It's not going to win any Academy Awards, but it's one of the better movies to put on while relaxing over a few beers with a friends (but make sure they have good senses of humor). As far as the 80s rubber puppet monster movie homages go, this is a masterpiece.
