"Stingray Sam" is a cleverly made loving tribute to the serials of old (be they "cowboy" or "spaceman" ones), and a darn' funny one too.

From rockabilly freakouts to an acoustic lullaby, the soundtrack here is diverse, catchy and easily the film's most exuberantly charming quality.

Rated: 6/10

In an American indie-film landscape, where a 500 Days of Summer is lauded for its "originality," McAbee should be a candidate for canonization. Somebody get this man an order for a second season.

Cute little six-episode series (ten minutes per, so an hour total) following Stingray Sam as he saves a girl who was kidnapped. Two parts Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, one part They Might Be Giants, and one part Cowboy Bebop. A technical upgrade over director Cory McAbee's first film, but still maintains the campy charm he throws in.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

How can I resist this kind of quirky fun? I can't! Non-stop giddy packed into a single hour. I haven't had this kind of fun since David Byrne's "True Stories". Must see for indie freaks.

98% Bloody mad, genius. Not as good as THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT, but darn near sunny boy.

totally bizarre space western musical -- I did not even know about this sub genre! And just the secret hand shake is worth watching this (it may be the reason for making this in the first place.)
