    What a scorcher!

    I find this extremely short movie dull in some places but overall it is an amazing adventure of one mans struggle with the postal service of Westchester. The story takes and extremely long time to get into the main plot, but after a while you start to understand whats going on and realise that the complex sub-plots are all there just to throw you off whats really going on.

    John. G. Gargantuan is a man who is pushed right to the very limits of his ability to cope with what is happening to the postal service in Westchester (New York). He is fed up with his wife and family and sets up an underground space station in order to take his mind off things. He mainly manufactures Viscous surface rock and collapsed domes which appear to be part of a large magma chamber. Anyway, thats just an intriguing sub-plot to confuse you. I suppose your all thinking 'well where is the postal service involved?!', it turns out the postal service are actually a figment of Johns imagination, and he has actually been tracking the gang who own the dog pound that his wife was put in when she was a twelve year old boy who was born on february the 3rd of march nineteen-eighty-ten.

    So in conclusion, the film ends before John can find out what the Dog Pound Gang are up to, and you are left baffled as to how someone can finance a film that lasts 60 seconds and has a script that is over 210 pages long, endless amounts of dialogue, and a very descriptive introduction to Johns background and the reason behind his suspiciously large, imaginary companion going by the name 'El Giant Man' - who is actually played by the same dog who starred in K-9 (another awesome film, check it out). - the soundtrack to this film is a gripping 15 minute long piece fitted into a 60 second film with no editing, composed by the late, great Schakadimas and Pliars.

    I thank you for taking the time to read this review - i gave it 10 out of 10 for the common use of the word 'Baloni'.
