I'll keep my own thread thank you Anyways, the only recent short films I've been watching are some of Griffith's early films. Been watching too many at once to really differentiate between any of them, but I can see how so many people made a stink about His Trust, which features a scene of a little girl riding a black servant around the house like a pony, a favorite clip of Spike Lee's. 

As far as the films mentioned above, I enjoyed In Her Shoes, but that was about it, just call it enjoyable. Hansen has done better (LA Confidential is in my top 100) but for the first time I actually believed that Cameron Diaz might be able to act. I really think that Hansen is one of the best actor's directors out there, he gets such amazing work out of so many substandard actors.
