Blow Up – Review

October 4, 2004

Layers of meaning infused in a deceptively simple story. Papers have been written about Blow Up’s layers. Herbie Hancock’s brilliant score has aged beautifully.

Battle Royale II – Review

October 4, 2004

Watching a trashy film about teenagers murdering each other is one thing, but focusing on realistic fear and pain kind of takes the naughty enjoyment out of it.

Zeke – Zeke You! – Review

May 23, 2004

It’s pretty entertaining and covers a ton of live shows between 1996 and 2001. All the shows (except for a bonus feature) were recorded on home video recorders.

Underworld – Review

May 23, 2004

Underworld is not about the plot, and it’s sure not about the performances. It’s all about the atmosphere. On that count, it succeeds admirably, if generically.

The End – Review

May 23, 2004

Overproduced and under-inspired, The End is a big budget skate film with a whole lot of cash and a serious deficiency of imagination and respect for the viewer and public property. This piece of crap is little more than an overblown skate punk home movie with all the spills edited out and some aimless expensive sequences edited in.
