The only success of Matrix Revolutions is that it beats Matrix Reloaded in the race for Turkey of the Year. Pompous and boring, it cannot even be saved by the special effects. The viewer is bombarded by imagery with little storytelling talent. The end result is that you're not even impressed by the effects which are undoubtedly the newest of the newest. This film may well prove that a barrage of special effects (combined with gobbledygook philosophy) doesn't make a successful film.

Forgotten Babies

Spanky's one man show
3 August 2003
This is an unusual 'Our Gang' as it completely centers around Spanky McFarland. Luckily, he is one of the few 'rascals' who can handle the lone spotlight. The children he is supposed to babysit are little more than props in this one man show. Spanky's retelling of Tarzan is hilarious. What struck me most about his performance, especially his reactions to things, is the similarity to the work of fellow Roach actor Oliver Hardy. Spanky dealing with the babies reminds you of a small Hardy battling several young Laurels.
