So, you’ve said to yourself, ‘Self, I’d like to watch a movie starring a really short guy, who rhymes all of his sentences, wears mostly green and kills people who mess with him.’.  If you did, in fact, say this, then read on dear friend, because I have a movie for you!

     It’s called Leprechaun and it stars Warwick Davis as…you guessed it, the Leprechaun!  Warwick is probably best known as the cute and cuddly Wicket the Ewok from Return of the Jedi.  You remember the Ewoks, they were furry loveable little creatures, who when messed with turns rabid and hunted down and killed all the soldiers that the evil empire had put on their planet.  Since seeing this horrifying turning from cute to ravenous for blood, I personally have been much nicer and moved slower around my girlfriend’s cat, Mr. Bootsy, who I’m sure is now plotting my demise in the dead of night while I sleep.  But I think I digress, what were we talking about…oh yes, Leprechaun.

     Leprechaun is the story of a cute little guy who has a pot of gold.  Now, if he is just left alone, everything is fine and there’s no need to film anything, but when someone steals his pot of gold, or part of it, then he must hunt them down and get his gold back with Malcolm X-like tenacity (you know, by any means necessary).
