Sparky The Tubeworm
...way down under the sea Stuff Blindness: Well done and well acted, but rather predictable. Not a bad movie, but not one I would pay money to see.

Not Responsible For Random Genital Failure
...so try not to have random genitals Just got back from seeing Iron Man. As all the reviews have said, Robert Downey Jr. absolutely nails the role of Tony Stark.

The Quiet Ducks Taste Best
...yum yum Short Movie Review: Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End This movie had the same basic problems as the third Spider-man film: too long, too many plot devices/characters, not a tight script.

The Nine Ways To Catch A Hippo
