These 10 short films by filmmaker Patrick McGuinn (son of the legendary Byrds' founder Roger McGuinn) share one common feature: they're pretty much experimental (and experiential) duds. Three of the shorts--that's nearly one-third for you statisticians--are about eating Twinkies, and one even dates back to when the filmmaker was 11-years-old. Two--Agnes Keedan's Secret Plan (a modern day Hansel & Gretel story) and Terrance Baum: Intergalactic Assassin--are a little bit better than something you or I might do, they're not Bambi Meets Godzilla. Not recommended. Aud: C, P. (R. Pitman)
