Austin Film Festival 2004 - Film Reviews

Sideways - The bloated, lethargic, one-note Church sinks this film like a 50 pound anchor.

Jailbait - There are layers going on here and the film begins to evolve a "more than meets the eye" complexity.

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers - In this film one cannot tell where reality ends and filmmaking and fantasy begins.

Around the Bend - If King Kong finally overcame constipation and dropped a two ton turd on New York City, you still wouldn't have a bigger, more forced piece of shit.

The Nomi Song - What is most amazing about this film is the inordinate amount of footage of Nomi that is included.

Chrystal - Fails to live up to that promise.

P.S. - Has enough humor and sweetness as well as reality within it to make it worth watching.

The Street - Really only has one thing going for it and that is a strong cast.

Sex is Comedy - We begin to see the problems in the first scene of the film.

Open House - This film has so many problems with visuals and sound that it is nearly unwatchable.

Mojave - Turns into one of the silliest, biggest piece of crap you can imagine. Often times, it's so bad it's actually good.

Overnight - At the center of the film is Duffy, a fat, pompous, drunken blowhard who makes for great footage.

The Woodsman - Ultimately, "The Woodsman," for all its good intentions, fails miserably.

The Graffiti Artist - Languid, brutally honest, poignant, and utterly breath-taking.
