Take the Risk,
This review is from: Southland Tales (DVD)
I loved this film the first time I saw it; I still love it after having seen it half a dozen times. There are so many layers in this movie that each viewing offers something new to discover. Even though it's long, I continually find myself absolutely riveted throughout its entirety.Despite having seen it numerous times and having read the graphic novel prelude saga, I still can't claim that I understand everything that's going on. Perhaps I merely lack the mental capacity to comprehend it all, but nevertheless I don't see this as being a failing of the movie. It's what keeps me interested. As mentioned, each viewing unveils something new and profound. Not everything in life has to "make sense" to have an impact. There are elements of the absurd and layers of irony which pique my funny bone like no other movie I've seen. Some really important contemporary issues are raised and excellently satirized. The music seems to fit perfectly, often ironically chosen too. The acting is very nuanced and entertaining. I admit I was concerned when I first saw the list of cast, but I've grown a real appreciation for them all, especially "The Rock" and Justin Timberlake. All seem to play roles which gently mock their real life stereotypes. For example, there's the musical dream scene in which Justin Timberlake, hopped up on drugs and with beer in hand, lip syncs a song, while surrounded by adoring back-up dancers all dressed up like Marilyn Munroe. Ironic and self-deprecating. Oh, and the character he plays is a wounded war veteran, and there he is in a blood-soaked shirt singing The Killers' All These Things That I've Done ("I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier"). Do you begin to see the layers? I could go on and on, but maybe I'll stop there. It seems that the majority of people either love this film or hate it. Maybe that just means you should try before you buy. But certainly do try: if it ends up being as important a movie to you as it is for me, the risk of wasting 144 minutes of your life is worth it.

Excellent Film,
By
This review is from: Southland Tales (DVD)
This is a modern day SCI-FI film. It's part action, black comedy, political, love story...It even has a short musical interlude. It has just about anything you want in a movie..It's just excellent.If you don't appreciate a nice long story with twists and turns then this movie is not for you.
