Catfish Movie Review

I was always told if you do not have something positive to say about someone or something you should not say it at all. However, that rule does not apply to journalists, as we are paid to say things, no matter how positive or negative they may sound.

Since I cannot just talk about the positive and ignore the negative, I will talk about the positive first. The new Catfish movie, by filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost can brag about masterful marketing that will surely get people to the movie theaters.

The Catfish movie is promoted as a riveting thriller, which are usually the genre of films that perform well at the box office, especially among male moviegoers. However, the film is no thriller and will definitely not thrill audiences who pay their hard-earned dollars to the see the film. Nevertheless, it tackles a prevalent issue that has not been addressed enough in film, which is the danger of Internet dating.

It is shot documentary style and focuses on Schulman’s brother Nev who becomes fascinated with the art work of a young child named Abby and attracted to her older sister Megan through Facebook.

The two talk online before their relationship expands to phone conversations and planned trips.

Like many who have dabbled in online dating, the Catfish movie is a cautionary tale that friends made on online social networks like Facebook and MySpace may not truly be who they portray themselves to be.

Nev and his buddies set out on a cross country to journey to meet the beautiful Megan, who he believes is the love of his life and uncovers a web of lies and deceit.

The Catfish movie boasts that it is not inspired or based on a true story, it is just the truth. But the truth is your money is better off being spent on a meal of catfish and grits at the Breakfast Klub in Houston than on this movie.

Schulman and Joost succeed theatrically when they delve into the mentality of those who create separate identities online. Some harmlessly do it so that they can appeal to the opposite sex, but for some the obsession becomes sinister when those charades start involving children and the lives of others.

In addition, the characters especially Nev, are hilarious, but not hilarious or interesting enough to carry an entire film for approximately two hours.

The filmmakers had the perfect subject matter to discuss a pertinent issue in our society through film, but chose an amateurish way to relay their story. Despite the failings of this movie, I am sure that some filmmaker will soon take this serious issue and produce a series piece of filmmaking that is both entertaining and enlightening, but the Catfish movie is simply not the piece audiences are looking for.

Regardless of the outcome of this film, the filmmakers and the production company get an “A” for superb marketing and promotion, but an “F” for substance.

The film opens in Houston on Friday, Sept 24.

Background Check

When people look for services and professionals or experts to hire to assist them with all their needs, more often than not they look at the company’s number of years of service. This is because people believe that experience is the best teacher and if they have lasted that long then they might be good or else they will not have clients anymore. People also consider the number of all satisfied clients under their belt. The power of the word-of-mouth is a very effective marketing strategy. People believe what their family members, relatives, friends, and other close neighbors tell them. So, people only go to companies whom they can give their 100% full trust on.

For people who are looking for an estate planning attorney or an estate planning law firm then it is very important to investigate and ask around in terms of which companies are highly recommended and are deemed reputable.

Although, it is easier to just ask a friend for advice, it is still better for people to conduct their own scrutiny. There is nothing wrong for people to request or conduct a background check, which can be done online these days, for assurance. This is especially necessary if a big amount of money is at stake and if there are some legal issues concern. People also look at a certain company’s achievements and other credentials. Some of the companies have already produced some wills and trusts and other winning cases that would give them an edge over other firms that have just started.

In California, it can be very easy to find a California estate planning since there are a lot of agents who can handle people’s needs efficiently and those who are considered to be of high reputation. People can not be too trustful nowadays. No matter how good a company says they are, people should always check to avoid future problems.

Exterior painting – while very important – is a big pain. Scraping and painting can be difficult especially up high on a ladder where there is a big risk of falling. This is why it is a good idea to hire a professional painting team to get the job done right.

There are many reasons to hire professionals other than just falling off a ladder. Professionals can also help get the job done faster. They know all the steps and have techniques to finish the job in a shorter amount of time than you could by yourself. Professionals can come in teams which will start on different parts of the house at once and help you to conquer the job in a quicker and more efficient way.

They are guaranteed to do a great job. They have lots of experience doing exterior painting so they can really work to fulfill the needs of the house and make it last longer.

While you may paint the whole house it could last a shorter amount of time due to poor scraping, wrong choice of paint, and inadequate application. Having a professional guarantees a good job done safe, quickly and efficiently. There will be nothing to worry about if it is in the right hands because you know it is going to come out the way you want.

Professional painters have all the equipment that they need to do this project for you. While you would be spending hundreds on tools and equipment to do it yourself this one time (or maybe not depending on the quality of work) and then be stuck with it all, professionals have their gear ready to go. They will also have better gear than you probably would have to make the painting go even faster. This might just save you more time and money than you expected.

They know what works with your house.  They can help you pick the color if you want them to. They know what is popular, what works with certain foliage, and consider the houses around the neighborhood before they start painting. They will suggest colors or confirm that yours is a good idea so you can feel secure in knowing that you have made a good choice that you will be happy living with.

In addition to all of this, professional painters can tell you if your siding needs to be replaced while they are up there. If there is damage to your siding it could be from a bad paint job so this is a great perk to having skilled people come and do this for you among many others.
