The Devil's Rejects (2005)
Ya Gotta see it to believe it...
Kudos to Rob Zombie's masterful tribute to Grindhouse Cinema. Zombie has done for Grindhouse what the French New Wave did for Film Noir. And as with any successful tribute to art-style he brings his own freshness and vision to it. Bill, Sid and Sheri have created one of the most memorable gangs of demented murderers in the history of cinema. William Forsythe has his best part in years as the anti-hero sheriff. If a creepy gore-fest is your thing... this picture has it all. Sex, drugs and rock&roll. Like Peckenpah he is not glamorizing the violence, it's disgusting and he lets us know that's what it is. He makes the back roads of America seem a scary place. This is great movie-making. See it in a theatre with an audience. Not for everyone... but what good art is?
Carving Out Our Name (2001)
A great documentary. Might save a lot of dreamers a trip to Hollywood.
It also might inspire the other lot of them. An honest, almost shameless look at the pursuit of an acting career in Hollywood. Compelling and very entertaining. Why this film has not been distributed theatrically or on video, in light of America's fascination with reality programming, is mind boggling. Wes Bentley goes on to co-star in an Academy Award winning film. What more could the filmmakers have done?
