The Speed Of Mind – Review

September 1, 1999

The tone of Patrick Hasson’s debut feature reminds me of Richard Linklater’s Slacker. The best comparison is to Harmony Korine’s overrated and confusing Gummo.

The Matrix – Review

September 1, 1999

Kind of like The Truman Show, except only a few dozen rebels are in on the gag. It’s not a complete paradise. It seems we need a certain amount of misery.

Payback – Review

September 1, 1999

The return of the mean Mel Gibson from Road Warrior (his voice is deeper and gruffer than it has been in years), yet with the humor the man is famous for.

Hurlyburly – Review

September 1, 1999

Great roles played by great actors doing practically nothing but talking and arguing (“Clarifying,” Mickey might amend), with the occasional drive in the car.

Dokken – Erase The Slate – Review

September 1, 1999

The production is inspiring and combative, guitars and drums bashing it out for supremacy, while the band figures out how to be rockers straddling old hair.

Discount – Love, Billy – Review

September 1, 1999

A five-song, 15-minute EP by a beloved female-fronted band covering Billy Bragg classics. Sound cool? In theory, yeah, but this EP didn’t need to be done.

Diesel Boy – Sofa King Cool – Review

September 1, 1999

The liner notes say this was recorded in SF during the rainy month of Februrary ’99, so that might be an explanation for why this is such an uninspired record.
