SHORTS

I am watching the 2007 Academy Awards Short Film Nominees.

Half of them today and half tomorrow.

They are OK.

I realize why I don't go to the Palm Springs Short Festival any more.

The films have to have a lot of whallop to work in a short time. Many go over the top. So packed with "stuff" that the message is missing. Some come under the wire. Too sparse to get it.

I think that there is less time, less money and, often, less talent.

This is the minor league of motion picture making.

But I decided to rent this disc and I am sticking with it.

So far there are no 4's or 5's. No 1's or 2's. A solid 3 out of Netflix5.
