Film Reviews:

The Living End - Poetic, fast-paced, new-wave and very 90's, "The Living End" could quite possibly be the best American film on the subject of AIDS ever made.

Totally Fucked Up - All the shit that comes with being a gay teenager, Gregg Araki puts in "Totally Fucked Up." Fagbashing, parents, bad relationships, nihilism, degradation, bad sex, masturbation, AIDS, fatalism, depression, angst, boredom... you name it, it's here.

The Doom Generation - Quintessential embodiment of teen angst captured on celluloid in full living color. It is a film about life in America circa 1995. It's is full of honesty, emotion, anger and eroticism.

Nowhere - Is a saddening dirge for the loss of innocence in American life. Sexual liberation, rampant drug use, fast cars, alcohol, food, possessions... none of these are able to satisfy the deep craving in our collective soul.

Splendor - Gregg Araki's first film after his "teen angst trilogy" is a watered down and highly accessible Araki film. But I think I mean that in a good way. "Splendor" just might be the best date movie of 1999. Maybe not for the FIRST date... but after you have gotten to know each other and things are getting a bit too stale.
