I recently rented "Cutting Moments" and didn't have high hopes. What instead I discovered was a well made, entertaining, and engaging film. However, the information that is currently provided on "Cutting Moments" on this site indicates that it is a short film. The VHS edition I rented (and for which the cover box image is provided on this site) has five segments of which "Cutting Moments" is the last. For those who are interested, here is a brief description of each. If it seems that these descriptions lack much substance, it is simply that each is too short to provide detailed information without giving away key plot points.
Segment One is "Crack Dog." It is a brief, darkly humorous film about a killer and his crack-smoking dog.
Segment Two is entitled "Don't Nag Me" and is the story of a disturbed World War II veteran who murders his nagging wife and secretly buries her in a cemetery. The man begins to have visions of his wife who continues to hound him despite the fact that she is dead.
Segment Three, "Principles of Karma," is a strange and gruesome look at a very disturbed man with an imaginary companion.
Segment Four is "Bowl of Oatmeal." It follows a Generation X slacker type with inattentive parents. His life is unrewarding and he is unmotivated to make any real changes. Things really get weird, though, when he is confronted by a group of masked gunmen claiming to be the Youth Liberation Front. The initial scene in the Pale Horse Cable Systems van is particularly entertaining.
Segment Five is "Cutting Moments" and has been described well by other IMDb members.
The runtime for the current VHS edition of "Cutting Moments" (meaning the entire anthology rather than only the fifth segment) is 82 minutes.
