SXSW 2002 - Film Reviews

Home Movie - It just all seems, well, very lazy in its approach.

Music Video Showcase - It’s hardly worth the time or energy.

CQ - Groove to the vibe that Copp is laying down, man.

Journeys with George - Is part documentary and part home movie about Pelosi’s life and Bush’s idiocy.

Gigantic - Lackluster documentary about the quirky alt_rock band They Might Be Giants.

Martin and Orloff - From the beginning, the film hooks you.

ZigZag - You have to give "ZigZag" an inch. It will be worth it, however.

Blade 2 - If you like action, if you like a movie that just goes and goes and goes, then this is the fucker for you.

The Smith Family - This is life, man, raw, real, full-frontal, unvarnished life.

OT: Our Town - Reminds us of the power of the arts. And how much we have lost by not making the arts available to young people.

The Search for John Gissing - None of the plot makes much sense.

Salesman - This is a look at a bygone era when people actually sold things door to door, people actually let strangers inside their homes to talk to them.

Jimmy Scott: If You Only Knew - Allows the story to unfold much like a TV biography but infuses it with wonderful dialogue.

The Chateau - A marvelous look at a culture clash.

Chelsea Walls - A character meditation, rather than a character study.

Y Tu Mama Tambien - Recipe for smash hit film: Two hot, young, teenage boys on a road trip with a distraught woman with lots of sex and bodily functions, drugs, alcohol and money thrown in for good measure.

Six in Austin - After two in Austin, I was ready to go.

The Scoundrel's Wife - The plot of this film is too interesting to give away.

The Cat's Meow - It is a visual delight to bask in the film the director creates here.

By Hook or By Crook - What a treat to see this film.
