Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Jack Grimes A very clever short film by Robert Rodriguez. We studied this at school. It uses clever camera shots to cheat a lot of the filming and good uses of putting the tape in reverse (If you put it in slow motion you can see the fishing line when the cockroach crawls along the table). Although stop motion was used when the tap turned on. A fun filled comedy about a girl who is disturbed by her brother David(Bedhead) vandalizing her things. Anyone who likes Robert Rodriguez should see his amazing debut into film. Well worth watching very enjoyableOverall a clever original film and i give it a 9/10
bob the moo It was a typical Saturday morning. Rebecca is easting breakfast with her little sister (as ever done up in high fashion). The arrival of her noisy and aggressive brother at the table ruins the peace of quiet as, on top of having the worst bed-head in the world, he is also a typical pain in Rebecca's life. Later in the day, the bullying and annoyance continues, with Rebecca falling to the ground and knocking herself out cold. She comes to quickly but instantly she finds that the knock has given her powers that she could either use wisely for the benefit of mankind, or to take revenge on her brother. What a choice… A curio piece that I found from early in the career of Robert Rodriguez, using his own family as his cast and his own home as his set. The plot is simple and the idea is that it sets up lots of physical comedy as Rebecca's powers come into play. Unfortunately the limitations of the film prevent it being hilarious because the material is not that inspired; if it weren't for the presence of Rodriguez then it would probably not be worth seeing. As it is, it is interesting to see the way that Rodriguez's hyper style was there from the start. Here it needs refining but it is there none the less.The main positive factor in the film is from Rebecca herself. She is cute and charming, with great charisma and she does drive the film forward by her personality. David has less of a character and is not as good because of his role within the film. Overall though, it is quite an amusing short film but it is not as strong as many have said and does benefit from the curiosity value of being an early short film demonstrating the distinctive hyper/cartoon style of Rodriguez.
Polaris_DiB The people most likely to be interested in watching this short film would be fans of Robert Rodriguez and thus would watch it looking for Rodriguez-style independent film-making. For those people, they'll get everything they want... fast-paced action, fast-paced camera movement, fun and funny storytelling, and a general sense of know-how often unseen in first-time shorts (and of course that's because it's not really a first-time short... see "Rebel without a Crew").Those who happen to stumble across this film, though, won't have to be well versed in Rodriguez's style (and also, Rodriguez's style isn't a style that is that difficult to be well-versed in). It's still fun and fast-paced and funny. So there you go.It's available on the El Mariachi DVD if anyone's interested in seeing it.--PolarisDiB
kleaner This short film shows Rodriguez films' characterstics, fast, low budget, and unique camera works. The idea of this film is very original and fascinating. The acting is very good also. I love Rodriguez's action films but hopefully he will make more films like Bedhead for variety.
