Drones: "Close Encounters of the Office Kind"
Meet Brian Dilks(Jonathan Woodward), Omnilink's "noble bumblebee"...or he was until he met Amy. After spending nearly a week being Omnilink's new power couple...dubbed "Bramy"...Brian finds out that Amy(Angela Bettis) may not be all she seems. There's just something about his new girlfriend being from another planet that Brian just isn't very accepting of. Well..that and that his new love interest's home planet has decided to use the Earth as fuel. After having a few mini-freakouts discovering that some of the people that he comes to care about aren't exactly what they seem, Brian decides that saving Earth may be more important than who may or may not be an alien.
This film, easily one of the best independent movies I've seen, is pretty much Office Space meets Close Encounters as the tagline suggests. With a crackerjack cast featuring Samm Levine, Marc Evan Jackson, and James Urbaniak, there's really nowhere this film can go but up. The writers, Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, do a...

This movie is really good. Angela Bettis is a treat as always. Unfortunately the only way to get this movie is through Amazon's Manufactured on Demand service. I don't know if it's a side effect of this process, or if the DVD wasn't encoded right or if that's the way the transfer is, but this DVD is NOT anamorphic 16x9. It is letterboxed widescreen which means that if you're watching this on a widescreen TV, you'll not only get bars on the top and bottom but bars on both sides as well. I can produce an anamorphic 16x9 DVD right here in my home from my laptop. It's disappointing that a product manufactured by a large company can't be the same. The movie is definitely worth seeing and if you can find a way to see it, go for it, but I can't recommend this product as is until they fix this issue.

Wonderful
This is a wonderful, witty movie that deserves greater distribution than it is getting. Jonathan Woodward and Angela Bettis play off each other superbly. Samm Levine and Marc Evan Jackson are hilarious. James Urbaniak is the quintissential boss. Tangi Miller plays the hurt lover so well that you want to hurt Marc Evan Jackson. David Allen can save anyone's day. After seeing this movie, all I could say was, "I feel good."
