Keep in a Dry Place and Away from Children

Excellent little short from the same people who brought us 'The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb'. It's kind of an evil 'Toy Story', featuring a duck-like child and lots of really nifty toys. And fire. Fire. Fire. Huh-uhuhuh!

Ooooohhhhh! Finally a tasty Mamet-style thriller from someone other than David Mamet. This non-linear tale from England follows the story of a man who follows people around for kicks. Being a writer, he's got nothing else to do. Hehe.. Things start going wrong, however, when he follows someone who breaks into houses and he gets mixed up in something that we're not even sure of until the last moments of the film.

The non-linear method of telling the story makes for some confusing moments in the first bit of the film, and while it did help the story progression, I think it could have been handled a bit better than it was.
