someone told me once that this was funny. it was not. i did laugh during the ‘guy likes to see homos naked’ bit, and i appreciate that they spent a long time to really break down which fireworks are lame and which are cool, then showed examples of each. but otherwise nothing […]

kind of like suburbia in that it depicted a very specific time and culture and suffered from poor acting. also reminded me of i’m a cheerleader but i appreciated that the central relationship wasn’t so other worldly. it was still really idealized but not as much as biac. overall, it depicted things […]

this felt a little underdeveloped. the setup was great and it’s kind of a huge subject to tackle, but as they moved on things got pretty cliched. they put a lot of weight on the two leads to keep scenes together, but the elements were all just too familiar. i was also very unclear on […]

this was a good idea and well executed i thought. the ‘real’ presentation really exposes the glorifying and exploitive aspects of gang movies. the ‘gang’ is basically some hotheads that sit around an apartment or in a car and decide to do something stupid. if that’s cool to a viewer, it’s glorification, if not, it’s […]

this did a nice job of contextualizing the causes of a punk sentiment and also a glimpse into the culture itself. it seems to attempt balance in both, but fell short i think. some of the kids’ causes for leaving home are unrealistically sympathetic to the kids, then some like jack’s are more questionable (though […]

this was enjoyable enough. it helped a lot having a simple driven storyline because there wasn’t a whole lot of funny. the pac-man was funny, but otherwise they seem to just assume anything done irreverently about sex and drugs is funny. they also kind of wasted an opportunity with the songs - they seemed ok, […]

it really is impressive how bad this was and continued to be throughout while remaining watchable. obviously it’s watchable because of the wealth of boobs, guns, money, and drugs, but i really enjoyed how strange it was. the ridiculous ending and the wtf voiceover were an incredible payoff. obviously i don’t understand what the voiceover […]

this was pretty great, especially damon’s performance - i’m surprised he didn’t get more nominations or awards for it. it seemed like a lot of what they wanted out of this was the evocativeness of the young-and-carefree-living-the-simple-life-in-italy scenes. and those were fine, but went a little overboard - first gwyneth picking oranges and then 2 […]

i had trouble figuring out the tone of this. the story and situation are so dire and profound, but there’s a lot of light humor and breezy tone that didn’t fit to me. the music at the end might have tied it up so as to be ‘absurdist’ but after reading the trivia, especially about […]
