Shorts

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

Having failed with his follow up to the uber success of Sin City - that is, teaming up with Tarantino for the bomb that was Grindhouse - Robert Rodriguez has gone back to the kiddie pool for another CGI based adventure.

Shorts is set in the suburb of Black Falls, where all the houses look the same and everyone works for the evil "Black Box Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated". Other than keeping his parents employed, Black Box has done nothing for 11 year old Toe Thompson, who just wants to make a few friends.

Cue a magical wish granting rock... and you've got yourself a kid based classic. But - judging by the decling level of fun derived from the Spy Kids series.... you have to wonder whether or not this one will totally suck.
