Part 1 of my critique of SOUTHLAND TALES.
First Im going to give my critiques as Im watching the film. So my reviews might come off disjointed somewhat, but they'll be real & raw. After all folks this is just for fun!
10 yrs from now alot of the actors in this movie will be big time, and this film a cult classic. Imo Will Sasso is underrated, and has great look & potential. This movie is just awful. Whatever Rock gained from Get Shorty 2 just couldve been destroyed with this horrid ditty. It will be remembered for for all that is suck in cinema! Of the 30 min Ive watched so far 10 min of necessary dialogue, and the rest babble. Whats scary is this film is two and a half hours long!
Gellar & Rock have the goods, and I hope their careers do one day take off. The porno Hummer car commercial was far too raw yet hilarious! The Rock NEEDS a more intense acting lessons. His raw charisma will give him a career, but there are times where he's glaringly painful to watch. It would help smooth his craft out around the edges.
Im an hour into it now, and I have to stop. I mean this with no offense or fiction, but this film succeds in
being an analogy to Ed Wood. They truly believed the comedic timing, mood, and tone was there.
As our Movieforums.org critic it is my DUTY to finish this movie that causes me to verbally and openly scold it as I watch.
I turn it off again just 15 minutes more into it. This movie is pain!
I havent seen a movie so disjointed, and plain bad at this level since Doom Generation. What a pot of piss this movie is!
I must stop to preserve my own mind. Im 1 hr 15 min into this, and theres more than 75 minutes to go!
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Im looking forward to finishing this like that kid getting ready to stand in the corner at the end of Blair Witch!
