MADE
(dir: Jon Favreau, R) - Bart says, "Vince Vaughn is funny in
exactly two movies. One is SWINGERS, and the other is this mob
comedy, written by, directed by, and co-starring his best buddy and
IRON MAN director Jon Favreau. I understand why SWINGERS is beloved
by millions and endlessly quoted (well, maybe not so much anymore),
because it plays as wish-fulfillment fantasy for most dudes. But
MADE is a much better movie, and even funnier. I guess it's less
popular because nobody wants to identify with Vince Vaughn's Ricky
who's equally obnoxious and self-confident as his character in
SWINGERS, but is additionally pretty belligerent and extremely
stupid. I'd say he should only star in Jon Favreau projects, because
his buddy knows how to get the most out of him, but that would mean
that COUPLES RETREAT would be a good movie, and it absolutely is
not."

HEDWIG AND THE
ANGRY INCH (dir: John Cameron Mitchell, Not Rated) - Thom says,
"HEDWIG has it all: glam-rock inspired songs, the Berlin Wall,
inappropriate connotations to gummy bears, botched sex changes, and
the occasional animated sequence. John Cameron Mitchell wrote,
directed, and starred in this masterpiece, securing his place in the
pantheon of 'Coolest People Ever.' Unlike other awesome
midnight-musicals like ROCKY HORROR and CRYBABY, HEDWIG AND THE
ANGRY INCH has moral center that cuts much deeper than its sass and
impeccable cross-dressing could do on its own; at the center of this
hilarious, rocking film is a poignant story of acceptance that is
not anything less than brilliant."

INTACTO (dir:
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, R) - Greg says, "As a small child, the
director of INTACTO and his parents very narrowly missed getting on
one of the two 747s that collided in the Canary Islands in the 1970s
resulting in the worst air disaster in history. That got him
thinking: is luck predetermined? Is it a commodity that can be
bartered with and misused? That is the premise of this Spanish
thriller that was easily one of my favorites of 2001. A secret
society of people who have experienced extraordinary feats of luck
meet sporadically to determine which of them is the luckiest. This
involves having races through forests wearing blindfolds and the
ever-popular Russian Roulette. Truly mesmerizing, and not to be
missed."

MULHOLLAND
DR. (dir: David Lynch, R) - Thom says, "MULHOLLAND
DR. is one of those movies you don't show a lot of people because
you don't want to hear their stupid ideas and misconceptions because
it's like your favorite David Lynch movie and probs your favorite
movie ever and they don't know anything and yes I said that guy's
cheeks in the diner scene have done the best acting I've seen in
years and no that club scene was not superfluous you stupid stupid
fart-head 'cos it's like the most intense scene ever and it
symbolizes that crazy woman who wasn't crazy at first then you
realized she was like that girl in HIGH TENSION which is another
awesome movie that I can't get into right now - anyways her guilt
and emotion coming through to a maybe cathartic peak and... you know
what, no. Just watch this movie. And don't say anything negative
about it or I will spit you in the face."

NO
MAN'S LAND (dir: Danis
Tanovic, R)
- Bart says, "When this movie came out it got such rave reviews
from everybody all over the world, I was sure it was going to go
down as one of the great anti-war films of all time - alongside
PATHS OF GLORY or DAS BOOT or GALLIPOLI. But people have already
seemed to have forgotten about this razor-sharp satire about three
wounded soldiers, two Bosnians and an 'enemy' Serb, who are stranded
together on the Serbo-Croatian border. Things are bad enough when
one of them can't move from the bouncing mine he's landed on, but
the real trouble starts when the UN and the media show up. The film
maintains a perfect balance between dark comedy and true horror, and
remains one of the most effective examinations of the absurdity of
war that I've ever seen." |
