Good things come in small packages

A potentially interesting movie is coming out on March 27th. The film in question is The Sinful Dwarf. I have no idea if this movie is supposed to be any good or not, but it sure looks like it could be a hell of a lot of fun. A user on imdb.com gave The Sinful Dwarf a 6 out of 10 and said it was a good time.

The film is from Denmark with the completely non-famous Torbin Bille playing "Olaf, the dwarf". I like that the official credits make sure you know that he's the dwarf. We need that kind of clarity in films these days. According to Bille's imdb.com bibliography, he passed away in 1993. That's too bad because the title alone warrants a remake. Here's a proposal for an unmakeable movie: The Sinful Dwarf 2, starring Torbin Bille and Herve Villechaize as warring brothers trying to duke it out in the cutthroat world of 3 ft. tall gigolos. (Did I mention that the plot of The Sinful Dwarf revolves around the titular sinful dwarf kidnapping teenage girls and keeping them in his attic? "Gigolos" just seem like the perfect theme for a sequel.)

Here's the trailer. This week's catchphrase for me might have to be "dwarfsploitation". The tagline, as you can see from the poster above, is: The mother of all dwarfsploitation films. Can you be the best of something for which there is no competition? (I also want to mention that at no time did the word "dwarfsploitation" get noticed by the computer as being misspelled.)

You'll all find some words on this movie in this spot in early April.
