They showcase not just the acting chops of Colin Firth, Lily Tomlin, Julia Stiles and others, but some fresh writing-directing talents, too.

3/4

"Stars in Shorts" lives up to its title by offering the likes of Judi Dench, Colin Firth, Jason Alexander, Keira Knightley, Lily Tomlin, Kenneth Branagh and Julia Stiles in films ranging from eight to 25 minutes.

The performances in tandem with the writing take most of these seven movies to interesting places.

It doesn't deliver a consistently enjoyable experience, because the quality of this compilation varies wildly.

Most of the shorts in this ambitious package are worthy of expanding for their own sakes.

Every video was amazing on its own, but getting to sit through all of them, ranging from sci-fi, musical, to comedy, makes you appreciate the amazing acting chops of these actors. It also makes you realize every director always tries to put a "twist" in their shorts though...

While all of the shorts have something to offer, the standout is clearly Robert Festinger's The Procession. Brilliantly directed with superb acting, the film will leave you wishing it was a full length feature. For those fortunate enough to see it, The Procession will be the best 12 minutes of your day.

A fun ride and something new to see, especially if you are tired of the mostly bad features that clog theaters these days. I saw these last night and laughed out loud in some. Worth it!

These are fantastic films and a great ride....but you have to know how to watch a short---they're not features, much more intense and have the variety of a film festival. Great laughs and plenty of shock.
