Serenity Prayers

One final attempt at a shorts package, and thankfully SIFF has redeemed itself, at least a little bit.

Easily the best of the bunch is Welgunzer, a fantastic piece involving time travel, a bathtub, and way too many aviator goggles. Next up is the short but sweet What's Virgin Mean? and the funny, if somewhat drawn out, Boutonniere. Immersion and November are both good as well, although a little preachy.

In the "why?" column are Control Master, and the intolerable The Day My Parents Became Cool. I really wish they'd stop booking mediocre films just because they happen to be shot in Seattle.
