Reviews for Film Geek
Film Geek is a delightful, sad, witty, scorchingly satirical film about movie buffs.
02/15/06
Amusing (and, at 72 minutes, in and out of there fast), with a diabolically dweeby performance by Melik Malkasian.

For people who know their cinema, I recommend FILM GEEK not just as a comedy, but a cautionary tale as well.
05/03/06
Westby's escapist fantasy's happy ending falls short of a meaningful message in spite of a rib-tickling individual effort by lead Melik Malkasian.
02/24/06
The film's press notes proudly observe that both Westby and Quentin Tarantino spent time soaking up celluloid while working at video stores. Which means they have exactly one thing in common.
02/10/06
The film looks like it cost 10 cents, but a lot of the jokes are gold. Hollywood, take notice of writer-director James Westby.
02/10/06
Top CriticFilm Geek has a likable premise and a pleasantly homemade indie feel. Unfortunately, its lead character is so irritating you want to get away from him.
02/09/06
As played by Melik Malkasian with Pee-Wee Herman-y chirpiness, you feel for him as you would any out-of-it sibling who seems beyond help.
02/15/06
Top CriticWestby makes excellent use of Portland locations and cinematic references to make Film Geek a mostly spot-on, sometimes hilarious character study.

Detailed in its affectionate mockery, the film captures the social isolation that befalls guys like Scotty but understates their own complicity on it.
03/30/06
It's through Scotty's "success" that writer-director James Westby is able to validate his own love for movies.
