The tree stumps!The swing set! I laughed my ass off!
Like most cult classics, they were a miss at the Cineaplex. Suits get scared of something new and dare I say slow. I feel that is why this film got no love when it came to advertising. But fresh on the rental block is Southland Tales directed by Donnie Darko Director Richard Kelly. This futuristic apocalyptic satire about our current election takes place in 2008 (Scientist say that the future is going to be far more futuristic then they originally predicted) on the 4th of July in Los Angeles CA. The casting in this film is a who was who in SNL history books with the likes of Cheri Oteri, Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn and a who is who Amy Poehler along with a fun cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 1/2 of dudes where my car and WWF’s The ROCK and Mandy Moore and Justin Timberlake tossed in for no good reason. The poster says that Janeane Garofalo is in it, she is, for one second dancing, she must had been cut out of the director’s cut. This isn’t a grip your seat action flick, it isn’t a blockbuster save the world movie, it isn’t everything you want a movie to be, it is a big budget Art Piece about the time warp that breaks the 4th dimension and brings the world to and end with a Bang. Pimps don’t commit suicide, and this movie proves that Richard Kelly is a pimp in his own respect cause he is getting movies made in Hollywood on his terms. Good or not, they are his, his original master plan. I really enjoyed the film, the actors chosen for the roles were perfect. You never once forget you were watching a film he messed a lot with the medium, you are always aware of the sleigh humor and the political satire of the the film is as ridiculous as our current election. I know that people will dislike this film, but I was entertained and enjoyed it. Worth checking out.
