I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

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

I've watched this movie three times not because I enjoy it, but because I feel the need to inflict it on friends and loved ones to help them understand the nature of suffering.It's as if everyone involved in this movie (save maybe one or two actors) was actively trying to sabotage the making of this movie. The only question is whether they did this out of contempt for the filmmaker or for the people who would debase themselves by watching this movie.The scene where they meet with the big-shot Hollywood agent was clearly shot in a storage facility? Better leave the blinds open so the audience can tell we couldn't afford to rent an actual office space.In spite of the totally-not-written-by-people-involved-in-the-movie endorsements of the soundtrack made by some of the other reviews, the soundtrack is...well it's bad. Not even bad in the way the rest of the movie is (where you can kind of sit in awe of how horrid it is) it's just bland. On the plus side, it's not nearly catchy enough to get stuck in your head, so it won't haunt your nightmares or anything.Probably the worst part of the movie (spoilers ahead) is when the son (who's name I can't be bothered to look up for fear that would result in me putting more effort into reviewing this pile of wet crap than the filmmakers did making it) starts "playing" basketball at the end in full clown gear. It's not the clown gear part that's bad (at this point in the film it takes way more to shock you) it's that the kid is the worst actor in the whole thing (which is kind of like being the worst glass of horse pee you've ever had to drink). Like, you could go to any high school in the country and find at least one drama kid more capable of delivering his lines believably than this kid does. You watch every line this kid delivers, and you just assume that he's some super good high school basketball player that they cast for the inevitable scene at the end when he takes the court. Then he takes the court, and, bless his little heart, is bad at basketball in a way that makes suspension of disbelief impossible. Like, I can buy a dwarf balling out of control way easier than I can buy this kid being good at basketball.This movie is truly awful. Maybe the worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen Santa With Muscles.

Minis is a film that at first I knew what I was getting myself into and was expecting it to be the worst of the worst, but Minis isn't exactly the worst I have seen ever but it's not exactly a film I like(as for this 3/10 rating). First off, the opening scene is what feels like a home movie from the 80's and the voicing feels poorly dubbed like its mouthing the words or something. Then the opening credits and several shots of the film have painfully colorized annoyingly shot scenes that feel like a YouTube video or something like that. The 3 high notes of Minis are Chevy who is quite entertaining, some of the basketball shots, and the lines of dialogue made by Dennis Rodman. Overall, Minis is a stupidly bad movie that has a few positive parts but with lots of issues such as sloppy camera-work, bad editing, supposed dubbing, and terrible acting.

Dwarfs playing basketball... with Dennis Rodman.That's all you really need to know.There was no budget.It's essentially filmed with a hand held video camera.IMDb claims the budget was $5 million!!!! HUH? Was that for Rodman's booze? The production values are non-existent.This was one of the worst movies I have ever ever ever seen.There is not real plot at all.Just an endless parade of snips that are horribly filmed.Honestly, the budget had to be about a grand.

This first 10 minutes of this movie is so horribly edited, shot, and acted that I almost stopped watching. Luckily from here it gets better. Roger (Joe Gnoffo) and his friends decide to play in the Venice Beach Basketball Tournament in order to raise cash for his son's college tuition. After some convincing, they agree but are still short one player. So they try to enlist the help of Dennis Rodman. Joe Gnoffo struggles with his role at times, and gives a pretty poor performance. That said I was mildly impressed by Gabriel Pimentel in the role of Chevy. Most of the others involved did a fair enough job, with the exception of Megumi Hosogai whom was very over the top. Not sure if I can blame her for that or not. Bad direction perhaps, or maybe her level of campyness was intended. Either way it didn't work and was rather annoying. None the less, it was entertaining at times, and had a decent message.
