all's fair in
pursuing pocket aces since 1976
films more SXSW film reviews

I've managed a measly three films in the last three days... the ones I've missed that I've heard are quality views are Dirt, Bubba Ho-Tep and Raising Victor Vargas. I, on the other hand, saw two mediocre films and one good one:

Phone Booth

Joel Schumacher's film that was shot in just over a week in 2000, starring Colin Farrell. While I it's the best film I've ever seen that is set in a phone booth, it left something to be desired. There are a couple technical and plausibility issues which made it hard for me to suspend my disbelief. And why does Forrest Whitaker still get roles? The guy is not a good actor. He has exactly two facial expressions - slightly incredulous and slightly upset. The film has some tense scenes, especially in the second thirty minutes. Colin Farrell does pretty well in his role. Overall, not worth recommending unless you're a big Colin fan.

You'll Never Wieze in this Town Again

Pauly Shore's attempt to get back on the scene. The film was amusing at points, and is a must-see for any remaining Pauly Shore fans. There actually is a hilarious but small sub-plot about Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore getting mistaken for each other which was probably the funniest part of it. It was saved by the huge number of cameos - about 40 - including a balding Kato Kaelin, and a Clint Howard sex scene. Only recommendable if you like Pauly Shore.

A Mighty Wind

This is NOT a review of A Mighty Wind. It was shown in an unfinished "sneak preview" form for SXSW and still is undergoing final editing and Louis Black begged the audience not to review it. Nonetheless, I can say that if you liked Christopher Guest's other stuff - especially Waiting for Guffman - you will not be disappointed with this film. The characters weren't as deep as in some of the other Guest mockumentaries, probably because there were more, and the quaint charm of the characters' pathetic lives was a little bit thinner too. But another solid effort from pretty much the exact cast of characters (minus the old dude who played Leslie Cabot in Best in Show).

Joseph -- no I didn't unfortunately. On Wednesday night I was at "A
Mighty Wind" and (much to my chagrin) I had to work late Thursday
night and so didn't see anything. I'd love to view it if there is any way to.

Our customers report an unbelievable increase in the length and thickness of their penises, they also rave about the heightened intensity and power of their orgasms (as do their very satisfied lovers!).

No penis enlargement system is faster, easier to use, or more effective than MAGNA-RX!

Like any other muscle in the body, penile ligaments are quite flexible – so the more you stretch them, the larger they can become. Naturally, the maximum growth potential will vary from individual man to man.

This will increase with regular exercise and the recommended dosage of the penis enlargement pills.

Unlike other clones, Vimax Pills are made from only high end ingredients available to bring you best results possible.
