 Coolness: 153210 | Just watched "the Warriors"
# Tagline: They are 100,000 strong. # Plot Outline A gang called The Warriors are framed for killing a gang leader trying to unite all the gangs in the area. With other gangs gunning for them they must get back to the home turf of Coney Island... Alive. # Plot Synopsis: The Warriors are mistakenly accused of killing a big time gang leader named Cyrus. Soon they have every gang in the city out to get revenge. The Warriors must make their way from one end of New York to their turf on the other side of the city. This is a classic for two quotes: "There's only 20 000 cops in this city... can you dig it... can you dig it.. Ccaaaaann yooouu diiig iiiit !?!?!?! " and the bad guy clinging three bottles of coke with his fingers going: "come out warriors.. come out warriors" pretty damm funny for a gangmovie.So fake.. The big clan reunion looks like a friggin Village people get togetherwith a couple of mimes and clown bonuses... |

| Coolness: 153210 | But seriously... a gang of mimes... how bad ass can you get?
and also.. why did nobody casre about the dude that got rolled over by the train? the only one that knows about it is the girl, and she says he got arrested to the leader. But then none of the others ever ask about him even if they haven't heard about him. I guess that would be my worst fear if I was a gang member. Die in front of a train and noone cares. |

 Coolness: 151160 | Nice Pics, Betty; the first one, especially!!
(But seriously... a gang of mimes... how bad ass can you get?) Haha, seriously! If I saw a crew of mimes walking down the street, I'd be running in the other direction! I think I only saw the beginning and the end of that movie on SpikeTV... talk about a B-Movie. I think they also made it into a videogame? And Betty, I don't really have any of my writing anymore. I threw most of it out. I still have 3-journals full, but it's mostly perspective writing from when I teenager, asking questions like "Who am I?" and then me trying to answer them. I dunno. It's not something I'd particularly like to share. Hmph, now that i think of it, all my work is done usually when i'm plastered or really high on drugs -let's just say drugs and alcohol are my muses. It could actually be pretty funny... Not "retarded" funny, but "interesting in a weird way" funny... or not. --- Edmonton is hosting the 2006 NextFest. It's an Arts festival revolving around Theater, Visual Arts and Cinema/Animation. --Laughter Through Tears-- "S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L" - Mark Prier S-U-R-I-V-I-V-A-L juxtaposes video footage of 'wilderness' (with increasingly visible traces of the human presence) against explanatory survival diagrams and illustrations from a 'Wilderness Survival Guide.' Within this brief video, illustrated survival technique is pitted against a wilderness conceived by excluding and including the human. PLUCKING FEATHERS/DREAMING FLIGHT - Barb Maier This was originally filmed in 2004 in conjunction with the HERLAND In:camera workshop. Experimental. KIDS TALKIN' ABOUT DEATH - Sue Huff An insightful look into how kids see and interpret death, from coping with the loss of a parent to helping a grieving friend. Candid, charming and astute, the kids bring death out into the open in a positive way. The taboo of death and the afterlife is explored through honest and occasionally playful conversations and animation. AMPTANK - Christian Nicolay Accumulations of the old break down and take their place in history as vacant and ephemeral waste. Abandoned artifacts from the Klondike Era pollute the Yukon's landscape. AMPTANK is an attempt to resurrect one of these rusting objects by amplifying and constructing its sound, re-inventing its function into an instrument for contemporary dialogue. THAT BLOWS - Deborah Heslop While a young couple's argument leaves poor Alfred alone on a windy balcony, all three characters discover that when it comes to communication... it's all in the subtext. MY DISEASE - Matt LaPorte Debut music video for Edmonton musicians Michael Rault and the Mixed Signals. Teenage angst never looked so wet. Michael Rault and the Mixed Signals will be playing the Roxy Lobby June 3rd as part of Nextfest. THE MANIKIN - Eric Spoeth Sequel to last year’s Nextfest hit The Street Sweeper. Mr. Viggs (world-renowned street performer Don Virgoe) returns - this time as the assistant to a tyrannical tailor. When love comes calling, Viggs skips out on his employer in the pursuit of a beautiful woman - initiating a hilarious chase through the largest shopping mall in the world. --- |

| Coolness: 151160 | Just got back from the show.
It turns out, this festival is really low budget. Even though it made the cover of the Vue and all the other "Indi-Media" papers, it really wasn't all it was hyped up to be. Perhaps it was just the event I chose to see, but really... YOU FAILED MISERABLY AT MEETING MY EXPECTAIONS. SHAME ON YOU, NEXTFEST!! SHAME... ON... YOU!! Maybe i'm being a little hard on the itsy-bitsy Arts festival. I mean, I only saw one out of over twenty different events, and film really isn't one of the main attractions. Perhaps, I should allow the films to settle, or digest -if you will... But I won't. Ahem... --S-U-R-I-V-I-V-A-L-- Sounds a lot more interesting than it actually is. The two minute short is composed of quick clips of rivers, trees, then a cliff side, then a parking lot, then a river, then a maritime village, with slides of DIY survival images (such as: How to build a cast out of raw materials, should you ever decide to throw yourself off a cliff after watching this movie!) superimposed over the footage. I'll give credit to the editing, and the sound synchingness... and that's pretty much it. --PLUCKING FEATHERS/DREAMING FLIGHT-- A film for feminists made by feminists. My critic of this film won't be as brutal as my last, only because I was nodding off during most of the screening. Okay, Okay... I'll be nice. This short was -I believe- about women, who are tired of mutilating their bodies (ie: plucking their eyebrows) to be appealing to men. Didn't you know? If you believe your beautiful on the inside, your beautiful on the outside. Your an angel, you sexy, sexy thing you!! --KIDS TALKIN' ABOUT DEATH-- Now I won't be dissing this movie. But I will say it reminded me of one of those really ghetto "My body is nobodies body but mine... you've got your own body, let me have mine" childrens awarness films that are screened in classrooms across Canada for kids in the fourth-grade. Produced by the NFB, this film was one of two out of seven to have more than three-names included in the credits -which is saying A LOT! The children all expressed their views on death in very candid manners, which turned out to be VERY insightful and oh-so cute. The creators of the film interviewed about seven children with ages ranging from six-years of age to twelve, and asked them what they thought happend when people died, where you went when died, how you felt after thinking about family members who have passed away, etc. This film was very cheezy. But I will give them a gold star for effort. Definitely the most sensitive and ingenuis of the bunch, this one takes the cake.**8/10** The next three films were crap... especially the music video. Sorry! --THE MANIKIN-- Now this is film to talk about. Well, it's really not that special, but for an amature/student film, it's worth writing a review. This film turned out to be a tribute to Charlie Chapmans character 'The tramp.' A silent film, shot in colour, filled with humour and great editing, there was a reason they screened this film last (psst, it was so people wouldn't demand their money back). ---- All in all, I came out with a very sour taste in my mouth. Although, I did come to the conclusion that film is very dificult medium to work with. You must give credit to those who took the time and effort into producing these pieces of art, and though I can speak loosely about their work, I give them props for getting their films on to screens. ... Well it wasn't a screen, so to speak. It was more like... a really big bed sheet. Did I mention this was all very ghetto? |
