South by Southwest 2003 - Reviews

The Nature of Nicholas - One of the things that keeps the film from seeming derogatory and incorrect is that it is set in what appears to be the 60's.

Bubba Ho-Tep - A fun and campy wannabee cult.

Bollywood/Hollywood - Knocked my socks off.

Raising Victor Vargas - Captivates us with its stark reality and its golden hued teenage sexuality.

The Eye - Watch her squeak, squeal, eek, shiver and breath heavy every time a corpse comes around.

Assisted Living - Is a quiet and graceful film and one that treats its story and its characters with the reverence they deserve.

Levelland - Remember the Summer of '42? This is supposed to be the Summer of 2002!

Live from Shiva's Dancefloor - Timothy "Speed" Levitch has perhaps the most quirky, intelligent and important philosophical mind at work in American today.

It is Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books - Is sparse, arid and slowly paced. In the manner that "Slacker" was verbose, "IIITLTPBRB" is quiet.

Sexless - There's a lot of sex going on here.

The Target Shoots First - the filmmaker's ability to capture many genuine and honest moments on film is breathtaking.

Phone Booth - Begins by immediately letting you know you're in for a typical Hollywood movie.

Cinemania - It's a mishmash mess that often leaves us wanting.

A Mighty Wind - I realized during the screening of this film that the reason I hate mockumentaries is that they "mock" something.

Man’s Downfall - This is not the cinema of 2000 and beyond, but the cinema of the past.

Lilya 4-Ever - The message is blatant: The Capitalist system, which spawned the worldwide proliferation of companies like McDonald’s, turns teenage girls into prostitutes and human beings into slaves.

Deprivation - The piece is really low-budg. But this again isn’t what makes the film worthless.

Happy Here and Now - I wasn’t happy here and now when watching this turkey.

Robot Stories - The true delight of “Robot Stories” is its unique qualities.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Such a one-sided, biased, blatant display of political filmmaking.
