Shorts Reviews

You could do worse than to take your kids to see this film. I'm rating this on the same level I rated "The Final Destination" and "GI JOE." "The Final Destination" was a silly gimmicky horror film. "GI JOE" was a... Read more

I got dragged into this movie by my 7 year old son who did not forget the trailer since he saw a man turn into a wiener (seriously)! After the fantastic and heartwarming artistry that was "Up" which we saw yesterday,... Read more

Robert Rodriguez's wild children's film proves once again that he is one of the most imaginative minds working in films today. Say what you will about his speed and economy of filming (his kids films often look a bit cheap) he... Read more
