South by Southwest 2006 - Film Reviews

The Last Romantic - There's something very innocent, honest and hopeful that makes it stand out in the crowd.

Bondage - We've seen this film a million times.

The Oh in Ohio - What the film is doing here is making the film that John Waters should have made instead of "A Dirty Shame."

LOL - A film that just doesn't live up to the promise he showed in his earlier work.

Champions - The film begins to go beyond your typical schlub and asshole type "buddy comedy" and begins to become something more unique.

Who the $#%& is Jackson Pollack? - Most stories begin "One upon a time..." But this story begins, "You ain't gonna believe this shit."

Population/436 - Is kind of odd yet typical, a strange combination.

A Scanner Darkly - You don't have to go any further than the first scene to know that Linklater is way off the map here.

Small Town Gay Bar - This documentary is not what I thought it would be and not what I wanted it to be.

The King - That's right - This film is so bad it actually made me fear for my life!

2am - Derivative, sloppy, painfully bad excursion in to why things like good acting, good direction, good dialogue and interesting stories are important to making a film work.

Americanese - It's hard to imagine a romantic drama that is more unromantic.

Dance Party, USA - Mesmerizes the viewer and holds their attention rapt.

Gretchen - A lot of fun and often hilarious, it is also overly long and a bit too much to swallow.

The Life of Reilly - It doesn't matter what is missing here really, because what is here is simply jaw-dropping.

Brothers of the Head - Like a bad punk rock song.

Jumping off Bridges - "Ordinary People" cubed.

Puppy - Delusional: A Love Story.

Don't Come Knocking - Offers us Wenders' best film in many years.

Neil Young: Heart of Gold - This may very well be the greatest visual document of Young's work ever.

Fuck - The exploration of the world's seemingly most offensive expletive.

A Prairie Home Companion - Fans of Altman will get just what they are hankering for.

This Film is Not Yet Rated - Hatchet job of a film.
