There's nothing I enjoy more than having something good pop up out of the blue. Life throws enough of the bad things our way when we're not looking so it's extra nice when a good thing gets lobbed your way.

Something good got lobbed my way recently by the lovely and talented writer, Sarah Beach. At the Wizard World L.A. Convention she met Marcus Perry. Marcus is a screenwriter/director that had just finished a short film called Razor Sharp.

The short won the Wizard Magazine film festival and has been screened at a few conventions. Word is getting out. I'm about to make it louder. Because of contact through Sarah, Marcus was kind enough to send me a copy of Razor Sharp on DVD....I Loved it. I don't say that in a casual manner much like I'm known to do around semi-pretty women. I really mean it. I loved it.

The dialogue is quick and fun. The action is jaw breaking and it's enhanced with the camera shots without being smothered. The characters have been cast with nothing short of perfection. It's rare in a short film running on a shoe-string budget to get a good cast to play the characters, in the case of Razor Sharp the actors ARE the characters. After watching the film a few times I cannot think of anybody better to play these roles than the actors that were chosen.

The lead role of corporate thief, Veronica Sharp, is played by actress Cassidy Freeman. She's witty, athletic and has an instant likeability that you fall for within her first minute on the screen. She's that wonderful combination of "beauty-girl-next-door-tomboy-sweetheart" that every guy falls for and every girl wants to be friends with. She's able to add important, tiny personal touches to Veronica Sharp that separate her from cookie-cutter performances that other actors would have try to pass off to you. Freeman not only makes you want to know more about the character, but also makes you sorry that the film is a short. You want more.

Skye McCole Bartusiak (24, The Patriot, Boogeyman) is Isis/Ice 6 "The Package" that Veronica is supposed to "recover" for her employer Dex (Played by Michael T. Weiss of The Pretender). It's enjoyable to see Weiss play a shady, off kilter character. Like Freeman, he adds small quirks that really make the character.

Razor Sharp reminds me of the wonderful days in comics when writers and artists were assigned 8 page stories that had to have a start, middle and end all covered in the 8 pages. Marcus Perry gets a manly standing ovation from Busted Knuckles as he seamlessly writes and directs Razor Sharp into a fast-fun-fist-of-fury film that is a pleasure to watch over and over. As most of you know, I truly admire those with the passion that make short films and low budget movies. These are the people that wring the most out of what they have and when it's done right the payoff is sweeter than multi-million dollar opening...well, almost. I'd love to see Razor Sharp as a full-length feature film. I'd also love to see it as a comic book. The DVD is filled with loads of extra features and in it you get to see the storyboard art of Jeff Henderson. He is an amazing artist that I would love to see doing a Razor Sharp comic book. Hell, I'd love to see him do any kind of comic book. I believe that he and Marcus would make a very exciting comic book team. They'd get my money.
