    really awesome film project, makes me wonder what life would have been like if I would have decided to go down the artist's path rather than this unending course towards the ivory tower.

    Unique blend of modern romance and technology.

    Four Eyed Monsters (2005) is a truly original and artistic narrative film; part drama, part documentary. As part of the project there are also thirteen webisodes that make this experience more than a movie. It is a story of a relationship at its core but turned into so much more....( read more) The title refers to a couple, the oneness of two people, and how that oneness can often turn into a monster.

    Arin Crumley and Susan Buice have created an emotionally powerful film about their relationship and sexuality. The collection of music is intoxicating when mixed with the unique, often abstract, videography. In the beginning of the film we are introduced to Arin and Susan's past; they are both introverted struggling artists. After meeting online they start a very eccentric relationship in which they do not talk. They decided talking is usually the most uncomfortable part of a relationship and that they would only "speak" through writing, video, and artistic means. During this time they also decide to make the film that you are watching. Regret, love, empathy, jealousy, and all the emotions that come with a relationship are touched on.

    7 out of 10 (webisodes 9 out of 10) - It takes us deep into the mind and feelings of today's relationships, albeit from two very artistic and erratic people. I recommend watching the movie first then all the webisodes (all are on the DVD). I found the webisodes to be more interesting than the film and they give important insight about Arin and Susan and the film. They are also very powerful from a filmmaking stance about the ups and downs of creating an independent film. The movie did run a bit slow and lost its direction a few times and although beautiful and compelling, some of the imagery didn't add value to the film. Once I saw the webisodes I felt they could have done better with the feature film. Overall the project (film and episodes) was interesting and entertaining; I found myself wanting more.

    This film deserves 5 stars simply for for being one of the most distinct and memorable pieces of cinema to emerge from the wave of new media artists that are completely changing the way movies are made and distributed. Godard says cinema is dead. If movies like Four Eyed Monsters...( read more) are any indication of what we can expect in the future, I would be inclined to disagree completely.

    An inspiring work.

    i do appreciate what this film was trying to do. you know, it's new, it's honest yet creative, whatever, but this type of shit's just not for me. it's fucking weird. i'm not really into artsy shit. and arin's cute but he's annoying especially the herpes scene.

    I was dying to see this independent film because: a) it has a lot of new dating communication system (know as Myspace or Sexresume or any other dating advice technology) and b) because I'm always in the tune to experience new creative movie ideas...

    I'm glad to say...i fall in...( read more) love with this incredible film...you can feel the huge difference betweeen a blockbuster hit movie and this fast-and-well-earned popular masterpiece...

    The way its filmed and told is just perfect...
    the natural human behavior material give an extra star to this superb movie.
    The music is so great too...
    The Myspace interaction is so funny at some point bcuz (I as a Myspace Whore) knows how it is when you meet a new friend over the internet and how u feel weird of you ended up stab and ripped..like you can feel in the movie..but the love is beyond all the stalking paranoia and survived throught a lot of damaging situations...
    SO GREAT!!

    I wish i could own the DVD but It's no available where I live so..I'll wait...

    Very interesting concept...for a movie and a relationship. A bit creepy in places.
