A Brilliant Conflict

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I don't get the Boomerang channel so this weekend collection of shorts is my only chance to see some of the animation worlds best cartoons. Each month the host Ben Mankiewicz talks about three cartoons connecting with a common theme. Some of the cartoons featured are from the early 1930's. I believe that the shorts featured are uncut and unedited. Another bonus to this series is that it is commercial free. The cartoons featured are directed by some of the best including Tex Avery and Rudolph Ising. The show does not just feature MGM or Warner Bros cartoons it features a great mixture of both of them. Some shorts already featured include "Hollywood Steps Out" and "The Cat Concerto". The only problem with this show is that it comes on only once a month. I wish it would come on every Saturday morning.
