This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

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

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Featuring absolutely no dialog and an overabundance of loud sound effects, the foreign film "Cinema Ticket" is the story of a young nameless boy who spots a flier for a racing movie in his town. The boy through hard work attempts to attain enough cash to see the movie. Along the way his adversary "old man with lollipops" tries to stop the boy's ultimate goal. It's a nice, quick film... with a running time of just 15 minutes. It keeps you smiling along the way as you root for the boy as he comes up with new simple schemes to get cash: Whether it be collecting bottles from drunks that drive through his neighborhood or helping the neighbors get groceries.See this movie if you wish to see a fun, fresh look at growing up and learning what can be achieved through hard work.
