"3x3" is a live action short film from Portugal and probably the most known work from everybody involved. A watchman and a janitor spend some time on the basketball court and one of them manages something extraordinary, to the surprise of the other one. I thought this was an okay movie that will put a smile on your lips on 1 or 2 occasions. However, it may have become worse if it had run for 2 or 3 minutes longer and the ending was kinda underwhelming. Nonetheless, writer and director Nuno Rocha gets a thumbs up form me and also nice that he kept this without dialogue, so you can watch and enjoy it no matter where you're from. I recommend checking it out.

In my most pure state, I think I'm one of those two guys. But maybe I'm the other one. I'm a perfectionist, but also a competitor. So much personality expressed in such a short film, and it is going to make you smile. A treat for the eyes and the mind. Very creative, expressive, and captivating in a most simple way.Next to contemplate why the title is 3x3; I just don't see it. There were three shots from long range. Was it that simple? Try this short for yourself any time you are lucky enough to find it. I found it on DirecTV "Shorts" channel as the first one I'll watch from a weekend of recordings, and it whet my appetite for more shorts.

This is a delightful little modern silent film -- in the sense that it tells its story without the use of dialogue or even titles -- of a competition in basketball between two men -- each playing at a different time.It's the jock against the brainbox and little more than an anecdote, but very natural and surprising in its humor. There is also a nice little musical score, whimsical in its nature, the theme played on the clarinet -- the woodwinds tending, as they do, to being the clowns of the orchestra. It will only take a couple of minutes of your time and will reward you immensely.
