From the multi-plex to the couch, I love movies! These are my thoughts on old movies, new movies, film, film events and the wonderful people who make them!!
A genuine gem. Utterly devoted to a nontraditional format/resolution, but achingly real all the same. It veers into "Napoleon Dynamite" territory at times, but it's ultimately superior in the ways that count.
I'm still trying to figure out "Napoleon Dynamite's" appeal. The first time I saw it I didn't "get" it, but figured I needed to watch it again and then something would click for me. The second viewing was more painful. Jon Heder made his career from it, and while he seems like a nice fellow he doesn't have much range beyond "Napoleon" style tics.

Toto - I thought this was much better than Napoleon Dynamite.

I never got the fascination with Napoleon Dynamite either Toto.
