Southland Confusion

First off, Sarah Michelle Gellar was as beautiful as ever.

Unfortunately, that's the only good thing I can say about this film. Disjointed, confusing, bad dialogue, horrible acting, no plot (if there is one, please, someone explain it)...basically, you name it, that's what was wrong with this waste of time.

I rented Southland Tales on a Sunday. It took me three days to get through. On Sunday I watched 10 minutes and turned it off. On Monday I decided to try again and that time I got through 30 minutes before I became nauseas. On Tuesday I started from that 30 minute mark and finished it. Every time I was hoping it would get better but it got progressively worse and confusing.

I'm one of the few people who didn't like Donnie Darko but it was ten times better than Southland Tales. I don't mind David Lynch style films. I love Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, and Lost Highway. But Richard Kelly is no David Lynch. Probably the only thing Kelly has going for him is the screenplay for Domino which wasn't that bad.

I digress. My review isn't that constructive but it's hard to be constructive when everything about a film is wrong. Southland Tales should have never been made.
