Pretty good social commentary even though it looks like it was shot by a kid with ADHD.

Part concert video, part rockumentary it was shot during 93so pre-Parklife it has everything from interviews to Damon throwing up before going on stage during the Reading Festival to Graham commenting on PJ Harvey saying '.....all she talks about is wanting to be a man and dresses.....' to Damon exposing himself, to the band visiting Stonehenge so alot of stuff like that with concert footage. I really enjoyed it.

That's one of my favorite films of all time. Quentin Tarantino wrote the story line, and handed it over to Oliver Stone to produce/direct. After being sickened with what Stone did to it, Tarantino abandon the project. There's heavy symbolism in this film, ergo the ADHD-style shooting. Stone went over the top with it, yeah, but still has a spot in my heart.

PaperHurricanes and I were talking about how much we loved this film last night, so I when I went upstairs I put it on. Great acting by Spacey, as always. Anette Benning always seems to annoy me no matter who she plays, but she's a good actress on the whole. The kids in it are skilled beyond their years. Great storyline, great symbolism (thinking of doing a thread in Media - Breaking Down Films W/ Symbolism?), yeah doo.

Tonally uneven and a huge departure from his lo-fi gritty debut 'London To Brighton' but still eminently watchable. Pity about the main characters make up. It looks terrible.



For a crappy 'B' movie it was watchable. Trust me, I have seen a lot worse.

Star Wars Episode 3, mainly to laugh at the horrible dialogue/acting and powerpoint-like fades and cuts.
