Pros: Some daring performances. Downright creepy moments.
Cons: Shaky digital camerawork may induce motion sickness in sensitive viewers.
My new infomercial, Virtually Vicki, in which I present the late night cable viewing public with an assortment of quality consumer wares will soon be debuting on Lifetime and Oxygen. Madame Rose, my publicist, says market research...

Pros: Direction, Script, Cinematography, Editing, & Cast.
Cons: Broken Rules & Unconventional Narrative Might Baffle Some.
Note: The following is Dogme 95 film review where the writer of this review has chosen to write a film review in 1000 or less. The idea of the review is to strip down the aesthetics and excess of previous film reviews. In spirit to the Dogme 95 ...

Pros: Unique style, brilliant vision.
Cons: None, if you appreciate the style.
Although I do, it’s not always easy defending the work of Harmony Korine. The reason for this is simple: Once you watch his films, you form your opinion. It doesn’t matter how someone explains it to you, you usually have a reaction to it that ...

Pros: No one is legally required to watch this movie.
Cons: A horror of a movie.. just awful.
Julien Donkey-Boy is a movie filmed from a first-person point of view. We see the entire movie through the eyes of Julien, a teenage schizophrenic with a multitude of other disabilities. His father is a deranged alcoholic, sadistic and abusive, who...

Pros: Truly avant-garde cinema; mixed media
Cons: Some disconcerting subject matter; irritating pauses
Part of human nature kindles fantasies of living another life out of visceral curiosity; the other parts crave that impossibility of obtaining a mentality outside of our own. Julien Donkey-Boy is an extremely original exercise in semiotics: it waivers...

Pros: ground-breaking cinema
Cons: hard to watch at times
Is Harmony Korine the future of cinema or a pretentious twit? Most people will fall in the latter category, but my money's on the former. I was one of a small handful of supporters of Korine's wonderful horrible "Gummo" (1997), a movie about...

by mrbrown - Top 1000, Dec 18 '99
Pros: None to think of.
Cons: Everything.
In February, I said that no film this year could possibly be worse than the thoroughly unwatchable SIX WAYS TO SUNDAY. Well, I take that back. The sophomore directorial effort of Harmony Korine (whose 1997 debut, GUMMO, is the epitome of love-hate...

Pros: Ewen Bremer
Cons: Disturbing family scenes
From the voice behind "KIDS" comes a second film directed by Harmony Korine - Julien Donkey-Boy. It's a very disturbing film based in part on Korine's uncle, a sufferer of Schizophrenia. The family surroundings are hardly one of warmth and...

Pros: Visual presentation, Acting
Cons: Overacting, Sensationalism
The thing I've liked in the past about Harmony Korine is his ability to do pop-culture hipsterism in a naturalistic way. "Kids" and "Gummo" were exercises in shock and bad taste, yet had a youthful charm to them. "Julien...

Pros: Very innovative and revolutionary
Cons: None
This is the first American movie to be Dogme 95 certified. For those of you who don't know, a group of Danish got together and made a list of rules for making movies (only natural lighting, only filmed on Digital Video, no soundtrack, etc. . .). Now...
