Land of Many Uses (2002) Online

In the Angeles National Forest, a woman by the side of the road asks a man who's parked nearby to give her a ride for just a couple of miles. He's reluctant, but finally agrees. He's with his dog, Millie. She chats, controlling the conversation. He's wearing rubber gloves and has recently lost his job. She bucks him up, then tells him that she's hijacking his car and she's taking Millie. He loses it and begins to drive recklessly. Will he kill them all, will she relent and not take Millie? The radio reports a kidnapping.

LAND OF MANY USES is a short film about a woman who hitches a ride--only to pull a gun and try to hijack the car. However, there are a few plot twists and turns here and there that keep you guessing.

This is a decent short film considering it's one of the first films made by director Stokes. As for the acting, I'd pretty much say the same--for struggling young actors, it wasn't bad--just don't expect the same polish from this film as you'd find from many of the higher budget short films. Now all this may sound rather critical, but it isn't. I understand that short films are often the training grounds for young professionals in order to hone their craft--and LAND OF MANY USES is such a film. There are some interesting elements and with a bit more polish (which will come with time and experience), the team making this will undoubtedly go on to greater projects.

I happened upon this movie looking for shorts to view and a web site recommended it. It's an entertaining short with good direction. I thought the acting was good but I wasn't satisfied with the ending. Overall, though, I give it 7/10.
