DVD Reviews of Nowhere [Region 2]DVD Review: ????????????? Summary: 5 StarsAmazon says I purchased this movie in '98! I dont remember ever owning or watching it!
I gave it 5 stars just for kicks!
DVD Review: polly Summary: 2 StarsI cannot believe that so many people reviewed this film and did not mention the amazing work of Sarah Lassez who played Polly/Egg. I have to admit that I did not like the movie and fastforwarded past many parts (I also have to mention that I am well out of the teenage years which could help explain why I did not care for the movie), but I thought the character of Polly was so well done. She demonstrated such innocence and naivety I was heartbroken to see what happened to her. I felt that she was the only true to life character and showing that she was from a home with a very loving father just made me feel more sympathy for her situation.
DVD Review: My Favorite Move of All Time!!! Summary: 5 StarsThis is an amazing movie by Gregg Araki and has to be my favorite movie ever. If debating whether or not to buy this movie, don't listen to any bad reviews because this is a true classic for limitless reasons. And! The soundtrack is just as amazing as the movie. However, I will admit it is not for everyone. Another great movie by this director: Doom Generation.
DVD Review: dogs eating people IS cool Summary: 5 Starsarraki's teen apocalypse triology ends in the wonderfully lovely "nowhere".
of course, arraki's films always attract the WRONG audience so itll be hard for you to know which review to trust.
here's how to tell:
1. if the reviewer says an arraki film has "bad acting" - they dont get it.
2. if the reviewer's only positive remark involves their mastabatory fantasies - they dont get it.
3. if the reviewer uses the words "shock value".. well then they prolly used the term "waistoid" too...
4. if the reviewer thinks an arraki movie is supposed to LITERALLY depict REAL teenagers then they prolly are one and havent found "freaks and geeks" yet.
i dunno. seems to ME like the themes of unrequented love, surpressed homosexual desires and an empty feeling about being in the center of our world's commercialized nothingness are interesting, relatable and beautiful things.
DVD Review: One of my favorites Summary: 5 StarsShocking portrayal of teen angst and lust done by some of America's most famous teen icons. PUNK ROCK! If you're into sex, drugs, music, or just cult movies of that sort, view this independent gem. This film has so many cameo's it'll make your head spin. John Ritter as the televangalist is CLASSIC. The humor is well-worn, but it's wittingly done. Psychosomatic sexuality and imagery prevail here. Where? Nowhere. But alot closer than you'd like to admit YOU FREAK. So go pick this up and stop floggin your puppy in the shower!
Description of Nowhere [Region 2]Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. Languages: English Dolby Digital 2.0
Synopsis: Described by director Gregg Araki as "A Beverly Hills 90210 episode on acid" (with no suggestions of what it might be cut with), Nowhere is a companion piece with Araki's previous meditations on youth gone wild in the 1990s, Totally F***ed Up and The Doom Generation -- Araki's self-described "teen apocalypse trilogy." Nowhere follows 18-year-old Dark Smith (James Duval) as he goes through a fairly typical day in Los Angeles. Dark needs, but rarely gets, emotional support from his girlfriend Mel (Rachel True). Mel, however, is also involved with a girl named Lucifer (Kathleen Robertson), while Dark moons over hunky Montgomery (Nathan Bexton). Dark's best friend Cowboy (Guillermo Diaz) has troubles of his own, as his boyfriend and bandmate Bart (Jeremy Jordan) is back on drugs and spending most of his time with his dealer. Mel's friends include sugar junkie Dingbat (Christina Applegate), doomsday poetess Alyssa (Jordan Ladd), and Egg (Sarah Lassez), who is being unexpectedly wooed by a Famous Teen Idol (Jason Simmons). Egg's brother Ducky (Scott Caan) has a crush on Alyssa, but she's keeping company with a biker named Elvis (Thyme Lewis). Alyssa's assignation with Elvis gets a psychic boost by her twin brother Shad (Ryan Phillippe) and his tryst with Lilith (Heather Graham). The day continues on a roller coaster of kinky sex, hallucinogenic drugs, random violence, romantic misunderstandings, alien abductions, and (of course) a wild party, this time at the home of noted hipster Jujyfruit (Gibby Haynes). Like The Doom Generation, Nowhere features a wealth of pop culture icons in cameo appearances, including John Ritter, Traci Lords, Charlotte Rae, Eve Plumb, and Shannen Doherty.
