Fantastic!.......2007-02-26

I love this movie.I owned it on VHS for many years before buying the DVD.
I think it is a truly misunderstood and underappreciated film.
For all the people who are offended, you should look deeper and listen to the filmmakers own words and understand what the film is about.
It is a social commentary and a social criticism on how the media, schools, Parents and the community at large handles the aftermath of such a shooting.I thought it was wonderfully done. There is also another message that the film puts across. A very important one.That constant abuse and ostracism can drive people to such desperation and hopelessness that they feel the only way out is to destroy themselves and others. The film never condones such an action.Just presents an understanding of it. Bill Hellfire,Joey Smack and Misty Mundae were perfect in their roles and Smack and Hellfire did a fine job in the producing and directing aspects.
Although Misty had done other things before, this film is where her career really took off.

As far as the DVD itself, the print is some darker than the VHS, but the sound is improved over the VHS version.
A few minor characters are cut out of the DVD version (The Priest, Gun rights spokeman,ect), but that doesn't disrupt or take anything away from the story at all.
And the special features are excellent.

LIke a bad High School play put to film.......2006-08-20

This "movie" shows what wrong with the home video market. That anyone can make a movie. There's nothing redeeming about this movie. Satire? I don't think so. Social commentary? I don't think so. The writing is awful. The direction is well, I wonder if there was one. And the acting is so bad, it makes Vin Diesel look like an Oscar winner. Do yourself a favor, if you want to see a real movie about the problems with school violence, pick up a copy of "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant.

Not A Review Just A Comment.......2006-04-02

Thats the thing with movies though people get so worked up over it they post messages on message boards. It is entertainment no one will force you to watch. You can't sue someone over being tasteless. It may have crossed a line but thats the thing isn't it?? It got your attention and publicity and isn't that all they are looking for?? If no one responded they would still be where they are with nothing and working at WAL-MART, but I look at it as entertainment not a learning experience. An experience horrific as it may be is still an experience which we can learn from and when we have the chance to really say something then we can say it.

Yes, it's exploitive, but not in any good way.......2006-02-17

Made by a sort of "clique" of film folks in New York, the fact that you have even heard of this "home movie" is proof that in our culture, how you wrap something is far more important then it's actual substance. It really was shot with a cast of under 20 "actors" (maybe less)and peopled with misfits clearly working without scripts. It's just poor folks. Save your money. They pick a subject that polarizes folks, generate some free publicity, and voila, you have to read about their crappy movie on Amazon. It could have been shot in your backyard (maybe it was, are you home ALL the time?).

Yeah........2006-02-10

"I admire DUCK very much because it refuses to shrink back from the event itself. In fact, it is the only cinematic response to the Littleton massacre that refuses to recoil in the face of the disaster."

...Yeah, what he said. :)
