Matthew Lillard shows he can act-- a rarity!,
By
This review is from: SLC Punk (DVD)
SLC Punk! (James Merendino, 1999)Matthew Lillard, in the main, makes mediocre movies. So when I stumble upon something like The Curve or SLC Punk!, I find myself pleasantly surprised. The boy IS capable of acting, he just doesn't seem to do it all that often. SLC Punk! is the deceptively simple tale of two punks, Stevo (Lillard) and Bob (indie film favorite Michael Goorjian) trying to survive in the counterculture of perhaps the country's most boring metropolis, Salt Lake City, Utah. Professing a belief in anarchy and a general confusion about such heavy topics as drugs, the opposite sex, and what punk really is, the two, coupled with various fringe players, spend long hours cooking up ways to take down the system without ever actually doing so. That is, when they're not partying. While Lillard and Goorjian are the centerpieces, some of the fringe roles are just as well-acted and engrossing. Star Trek cutie Jennifer Lien plays Stevo's on-again off-again soulmate, while Bob falls in love with X-Files' Annabeth Gish. Christoper McDonald, forever branded with the stigma of having played Tappy Tibbons in Requiem for a Dream, does a minor but wonderful turn as Stevo's dad. James Duval, Summer Phoenix, Devon Sawa, and a host of others all also pop up in minor roles. Like its main characters, the movie seems to have no direction at first, but ends up being more than just your typical slice-of-life flick. There is meat to these bones, and it's quite fine. Recommended for more than just the novelty of seeing Matthew Lillard actually act, for once. ***

If the guy who I was two weeks ago, saw the guy who I am now,

This review is from: SLC Punk (DVD)
This movie at all wasn't about punk, or punk rock, it was simply based around it.. This movie was about change and conformity. That this world in fact does have structure. A structure that you cannot break or change no matter how hard you try. And that structure is change. Everyone changes, and everything changes. Well maybe not everyone changes, but everyone moves on, goes places and you lose touch or talk less frequently. You must conform to the way the world changes and the way the world works. And the way the world works is always changing. You cannot stop change, and if you try to change the person you are, more so, become a "poser," well it might be fun for a while, but then you become miserable and unhappy with your life, and this rubs off on the people around you. And when it comes down to it, it's the people that you are closest with are the only ones that matter...in Steveo's case.. His family and his best bud, Bob. Anyways it's a great movie that should be watched if given the opportunity..

This movie is a great example of what good film making is all about.Stevo and Bob are both good people at heart,but are caught up in rebellion.This movie will make you think hard about your values.It shows you to be yourself no matter what.Watch this movie and be prepared to think!!
