Muffin is sweet. Muffin is soft. Muffin will spit and cut your head off.
"Usama Alshaibi's Muffin, an eerily stylized deconstruction of exploitation and violence in life and cinema."
-Lisa Alspector, Critics Choice, Chicago Reader, Feb 11,2000
"Formally, an intriguing depiction of video as forward motion, or as technology of road movies and dreams. Alshaibi intercuts footage of a Southeastern Asian trip with a young man's venereal disease-influenced fantasies of a strange young woman."
-Ray Pride (Newcity. Aug.22, 2002)
