Kalifornia

Pros: Cast, storyline
Cons: Duchovny's big hair

I had watched Kalifornia back when it came out in 1993 and loved it, so when we happened across it at Blockbusters last night and Nick said he'd never heard of it..well.. we had to rent it. This is one of those movies. You know the ones....

Pros: Excellent acting.  Interesting concept.  For the ladies, Brad Pitt naked.
Cons: Cliche and stereotypes run rampant.

Inspired by his girlfriend's photography, journalist Brian Kessler (David Duchovney) realizes that a combination of photography from the locales of infamous serial killers along with his own perspectives on the crimes could form the foundation of a best ...

Pros: A finely crafted, thoughtful movie. Great acting.
Cons: Frightening undertone

Pros: Brad Pitt has a fine "Early" performance
Cons: seems to drag on forever

In need of a little extra sleep? Would you like to have a reason for a good nap? Need a little extra shut-eye? I've got the solution right here... Kalifornia , released in 1993, and starring David Duchovny, Juliette Lewis, Michelle Forbes, and...

Pros: Very gritty, twisted story. Excellent performances by Pitt and other actors.
Cons: Explicit sex and violence. Not for everyone.

My husband bought another movie the other night with the thought that I would really like it. I wasn't sure about it – I had never heard of it. But the back of the movie proclaimed that it was about a serial killer. Now I realize that it's a bit ...

Pros: Cinematography, Brad Pitt as an actor, creepy story, Duchovny humor, Juliette Lewis singing
Cons: Can be gross

An indie film that was too bleak for mainstream audiences but a surprise cult hit with the David Duchovny Estrogen Parade, ‘Kalifornia’ is a stylish murder mystery that plays like a very explicit episode of the ‘X-Files.’ Brad Pitt, David Duchovny and ...

Pros: some scenes will will scare the bejesus out of you, good story, good acting
Cons: I liked this movie too much to find any fault with it.

If you enjoyed watching Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys or last year’s Fight Club, then you will surely enjoy this movie. Pitt plays a hick serial killer, Early Grace, who will scare the bejesus out of you, much like the inbred hill-billies do in...

Pros: Secret Pre-cursor of entire X-Files TV series
Cons: you may not be able to stop laughing at Pitt long enough to be scared

Pay attention to this one, it's got a lot to say. It's film noir and social criticism mixed in one. In fact, this film was probably the (unacknowledged) inspiration for the entire "X-Files" TV series (which I can't stand, isn't as good as "the...

Pros: Pitt & Lewis give terribly convincing performances / Suspenseful
Cons: Too violent for some viewers

With the release of "Gone in Sixty Seconds" in theaters recently, the name of the director, Dominic Sena popped up from time to time. I knew I had heard the name before, but I could not place where it was from. So I did what I usually do in...

Pros: The tremendously trashy Early Graye
Cons: David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes are weak supporting actors

The release of the movie Kalifornia in 1993 by Gramercy pictures went virtually unnoticed by reviewers and moviegoers alike. I ran across it at a video store a few years ago, and decided to give it a go. I almost put the box back on the shelf simply...

Pros: Immerses you in a visceral plot with stunning characters
Cons: Definitely not for the squeemish or those against on screen violence

Nowadays we're used to seeing screen star David Duchovny do his best to chase down aliens and swamp monsters in "The X-Files". But, back in the year when "The X-Files" premiered for the very first time on the FOX network, Duchovny...

Pros: Brad Pitt makes an excellent psychotic.
Cons: Duchovny and Forbes seem misplaced.

After watching Kalifornia for the 10th time last night I came to the conclusion that it is Brad Pitt's finest performance yet.
Early (Brad Pitt) and Adele (Juliette Lewis) are the absolute epitome of trailer trash in this psychological suspense...

Pros: Juliette Lewis & Brad Pitt, its frankness, the tension, the visual style
Cons: In the final confrontation, some of the "there he comes again" trick...

You can have "insane killer" stories by wagonloads. It's not at all some rarity. But this Dominic Sena movie...
well, that's quite rare. Not only that the film is very intense (unbearably intense, sometimes) but, more than that, it's...

Pros: very well done, great acting by Brad Pitt
Cons: none

One night I was channel surfing looking for something good on television and I ran across this little old movie called "Kalifornia" and I decided to watch it. I mean it had Brad Pitt, Juliette Lewis, and David Duchovny in it. I...

Pros: Brad like you've never seen him.
Cons: Capital V for Violent

Brad Pitt is by far the most under rated actor on the Big Screen today. Everyone is familiar with his work in Meet Joe Black, Legends of the Fall, Sleepers, and Seven. One of his less popular films, but laudable films is Kalifornia where Brad...
