		The film has a good grasp of children's logic, the obsessions and the anger at perceived betrayal, as well as the way adults behave in a death situation : outpouring of emotion, explaining away in fantasy, hiding behind drink, opting for a replacement.
		Again, the length of the short is mostly set-up for a finale more entertainingly gross than funny, but it keeps interest up with an effectively creepy mood.
		The film resolutely believes that the system is set against true justice and yet refuses to analyze this belief in any depth.

		Okay I understand that to start the film out with a 16 minuet opening like this would have been boring in the theater, it would have dragged the opening on a bit, but that's what editing is for!
		It didn't hurt Ring 2 but it could have opened it with a more awe inspiring or knock over the head start then there was.
		I am very glade they did include Rings on the Ring 2 DVD, just wish they could have inserted it along with the film.

	DVD in My Pants - Review: The Ring Two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The American The Ring franchise is an original in that the films deliver an important social message about people just like the intended audience; you.
		But the emotional rollercoaster of The Ring Two is a fantastic vehicle to deliver such a poignant message as the bond of trust between mother and son, and the reasons you stay away from nasty bitches.
		The Ring Two is a poor film, made even poorer by being a follow-up to one of the greatest horror films of the decade.

		Part of the attraction to the project is Brian's Rustboy site, (www.rustboy.com) which chronicles his efforts with the film, from early beginnings as a personal project, developed in his own time to a privately funded venture which he now works on full time.
		The bulk of the film will still be done using Infini-D for the reasons I mentioned earlier, but I may end up compositing other elements in certain shots.
		Working on the film is a massive job in itself, but there are also lots of Rustboy related things to do at any given time.

	The Ring Two DVD review from BBCi
		Having spawned the Ring franchise in Japan, director Hideo Nakata moved to Hollywood to remake The Ring Two.
		Expectations were high but this horror film was eventually panned for being "illogical, daft, and dull".
		It's a short film that bridges the gap between the first film and the sequel, directed with chilling immediacy by Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls).

	Rings (2005) [Brother Kneumsi Reviews with Booze]
		Sure, all of these could have fit on the original The Ring, and probably should have, but it's the included "Short Film" of Rings that excites and stimulates like a shot of Caffeine-Laced NyQuil.
		He discovers that his "Ring" of the daring isn't the only one, but one of a huge Ring Community of Rings who trade their videos on a FearDotCom-style website (so we're ripping off the rip-offs now?).
		In Rings' mere sixteen minutes (less time than it takes you to read this, I bet), the filmmakers (Ehren Kruger and Jonathan Liebesman) manage to craft a creepy companion piece to The Ring Two, which still has the feel of The Ring, and the Tape that haunted it.

		the soundtrack had to be right to make it fit in with the film, the film had evil creepy music to fit in with the bits of then film when the evil people came on screen and it fit in fantastic.
		Gollum was animated rather unusually it has the voice of Andy serkis who plays gollum, he actually acts the part in a blue suit and then he is put into animation which gave a good effect and was also good for the actors to have someone to work with instead of just pretending.
		This film is full of suspence becuse of the way the film flicks from one scene to another and you want to find out what happens to them.

		03-08-05 07:06 PM Well, just watched the "Rings" short film (which is directed by a third party) and, while a tad over the top and overly self-important, in the end, it was a pretty nice piece of work...I'm more jazzed for the sequel film than ever now.

		These shorts were made by the surreal and experimental French filmmaker Pierre Yves Clouin, who also had two odd shorts at last year's festival.
		Strange short film that doesn't really make sense but somehow generates a feeling of furtive and dangerous lust, as it features just a few images, filmed surreptitiously, of guys fumbling sexually out of view of the general public.
		Half of the short is in split screen, it's completely silent, and features one title in the middle: "in jail now".

		The short sketch is full of funny details: the SF-dialogue is hilariously bad to begin with ("Primitive human, I demand your submission." or: "Your nebula is beautiful, let me into your Milky Way!" etc.), the lifeless, bland "performance" of the two "porn stars" emphasizes the atrocity of the writing even more.
		Ethan's character is apparently getting a major kick out of the erotic games he's trying to film, while the two Art Police Officers break out a major sweat (it's so bad that sweat is dripping down their chins!) and have to excuse themselves one after the other to recover their composure.
		Because once a bad film has been released to the general public, thousands of people can be offended on the same day.

	eFilmCritic - The 2005 Chicago Really' Short Film Festival
		With Dave Maddox on sax, the film is presented in the hard-boiled style of a lone narrator allowing his brain to drip on the injustices of the world.
		Sometimes short films force filmmakers into narrative short cuts that help reduce the burden heaped upon them with a minimum of resources and allocated running times.
		Lord of the Rings geeks and film fans alike will be overcome with the exasperating energy and never-ending connection of images creating a remixed parody of both Peter Jackson’s trilogy and Darren Aronofsky’s brutal opera of drug addiction.
