Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Being in the mood to watch a short cartoon just before I set off to bed,I was pleased to spot an interesting-sounding 1915 animated short being mentioned on IMDbs Classic Film board,which led to me getting ready to take a sip of the magic brew.The plot:Sitting in a bar smoking & drinking,a monster suddenly pops out of a mans head.Initially thinking that the monster will join in the drinking,the man soon discovers that the monster has other plans.View on the film:Running at 36 seconds instead of the 3 minute running time that IMDb list,director Victor Bergdahl makes every second count by using a thick felt tip pen style which gives the short a feeling of being pulled straight from a newspaper.Along with the charming newspaper feel,Bergdahl also delivers a surprisingly early message about alcoholism,with the magical brew/drinks being shown to contain an evil spell.
