Goldthwait's tender side.......2007-06-29

For a film from Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait, there is a sweet, human warmth underlying the story, which may be somewhat surprising for those more familiar with "Windy City Heat" and "Shakes the Clown". Shot on a budget more suited to a student's senior project, with help from Goldthwait's and producer Marty Pasetta's friends, borrowed equipment, props and wardrobe, and often on "found" locations, and in HD video, there is a feeling to the film that the intent was to get this film made, even if it never even made to to DVD or theaters. Goldthwait mentioned, in his remarks at the screening at Sundance 2006, that he expected to be showing this to his friends at home, not as a selection for the drama category.
Melinda Page Hamilton carries the film, portraying her character, Amy, deftly and eliciting sympathy and understanding from the viewers. Jack Plotnick, playing her tweeker brother, provides the tension and the undercurrent of family dynamics required to clarify Amy's persona.

Ok short film, GREAT INTERVIEWS, but be prepared to wait!.......2006-11-06

Do you love Maynard James Keenan and Brad Wilk? Do you want to see them in a great movie? Well, maybe someday, but not today. This short, 29 minute film is mediocre on the surface; I fell asleep during it several times, which is a feat for only a 29 minute movie.

In other words, DON'T BUY THIS DVD FOR THE FILM!!

The value of this DVD is in the bloopers and interviews - more than an hour's worth of extras. The interviews are priceless, especially for fellow Maynard lovers - I have never seen him as natural and easy-going as he is in the interviews. He is hilarious in the movie, but is even funnier in the interviews and bloopers! This is a very intelligent, quick witted guy that you don't always get to see in the Tool or A Perfect Circle concerts; he is up close and personal - well worth the price of the DVD. I have over 40 live concerts on DVD from Tool and A Perfect Circle, and I've never seen him anything like he is in the film or the interviews.

One final note, don't expect to get this DVD right away. I had to wait several weeks for mine to come, and I consider myself lucky for that. I had tried to purchase it from the main SDL website, and waited for two months before I had to file a dispute with PayPal (and still didn't get all my money back). If you want it right away, you might want to check on ebay, but only one person sells them on there, so they are pretty rare. I definitely wouldn't recommend buying from anywhere else other than Amazon or ebay - you'll never get anything.

Bottom Line: If you love Maynard, then this is probably the most natural you'll ever see him (you do know he ALWAYS shaves his head, right? He wears a wig for most concerts). Since Maynard is still hiding himself at the 2006 concerts, this is probably the last chance you'll ever get to see him well (unless you get some older concerts on DVD or something). Not a great film, but the true value is in the extras; if you don't mind a wait of possibly months, then this is well worth the price for Maynard lovers.

Sleeping Dogs Lie.......2006-08-05

A huge fan of both Brad Wilk and Maynard James Keenan, I had to buy this. Great short movie. A question of memory- where do Our words go after We say them? The director of photography is wonderful.
You will say 'no way' at the end!
Watch the bonus footage.

Very interesting and great to watch - for 29 minutes that is!.......2006-05-12

I thought the story line was intriguing and the acting was top-notch. Brad Wilk, aside from being beautiful, actually has some real acting ability. The same with Keenan - especially when you consider what they do for their day jobs. The only kitchy thing about the movie, which was probably intentional, is it is supposed to take place in Texas, but there are no Joshua Trees in Texas! Whatever. I liked it. I just wish it was longer than 29 minutes.

Interesting if you like Maynard.......2006-03-20

The story is nothing new: Some guy goes to investigate an old death/murder in a strange town and the local helping him turns out to be the killer who then kills the guy as he solves the mystery. Brad Wilk does a good job, but Maynard James Keenan, singer for Tool and A Perfect Circle, is simply amazing. His talents seemingly know no bounds. You probably wouldn't even recognize him if you didn't know it was him. Not because of makeup or anything, but because of the earnestness with which he plays his character and because he plays a character that is so antithetical to the life and body of work of the artist playing him. Think about it: Maynard the deputy sheriff.

The best part for fans of Maynard may be the outtakes and behind the scenes footage that provide a glimpse into the private personality behind the eccentric stage persona we've come to know. The behind the scenes footage introduces us to a down-to-earth Maynard with a great sense of humor and of himself.

alright.......2006-02-06

brad wilk is no actor. taking that into account, he did a decent job. maynard was the reason for me buying this dvd (as others have also said), and it was a little disappointing he was in it for such a short period of time. lynch being one of the greatest/most original film directors in my opinion, it would certainly be a challenge to create a lynch-ish short film. this film did an alright job of it, obviously no comparison to the master but all in all it was an enjoyable watch. i would recommend this to a fan of brad wilk, maynard james keenan, or david lynch, but beyond that i can't really see too many people enjoying this. by the way, perfect circle is on the soundtrack which is a definite bonus to the overall package.

Sizemore Steals It.......2005-12-14

I think Tom Sizemore holds the pinnacle of this flick. I have seen him in other films, but he is my new favourite actor because of his performance in this movie. He embodies this man Eddie. I've seen better from Dylan McDermott, and I probably shouldn't even comment on Sharon Stone's 'acting' (you know, that character she does for e v e r y - s i n g l e - o n e of her roles . . . herself, yawn). Anyway, I was very drawn into the movie to watch more of Sizemore's acting.

Very entertaining..........2005-01-08

Filled with suspense, this movie kept me entertained until the very end. Great story, not for those who want romance or car chases.

SNOOZING DOGS INDEED.......2004-06-27

What a shame to have two excellent performances wasted on a script that doesn't go anywhere. Dylan McDermott gives an excellent performance as a writer who isn't going anywhere. Fate decrees he's to "live" in a house he's supposed to be selling, a house which was the scene of a brutal mass murder. Enter Tom Sizemore, equally impressive, as a strange, neurotic young man who claims to be the manager of a local grocery store. McDermott and Sizemore strike up a tenuous relationship, and as the movie unfolds, we're expecting some startling revelations...which never come to fruition. Is Sizemore the killer? Or is he just a lonely man looking for companionship? Add an icily cold performance by a young Sharon Stone as McDermott's bitchy editor and you have the ingredients for a tidy little thriller. But no souffle here folks. All the ingredients don't come together and you're left wondering just what you've spent 90 minutes with.
Recommended only for the two male performances.

Would have benifited from more Sharon Stone.......2000-01-02

All in all the movie was an interesting thriller, but they didn't pursue the relationship between Dylan McDermitt's character and Sharon Stone's character at all- and that was all that really interested me. The end was a little forced I thought, but it was definately creepy/

Never got the item I ordered.......2007-02-26

I ordered this item 3 seperate times from Amazon, and they shipped a total of 4 dvds, and not once did they ship the dvd I ordered. I even preordered the movie 2 months before it was released. So here I sit, still without a copy of the movie. They told me to give up, and go away in so many words. I have done this Amazon. I'm going to stick with Ebay. Lots less hassle there. Oh yeah, and I rated it 1 star. I don't know where it came up with 5. Funny I can't change it....
Now, for the review of the product: I saw this movie in the theater, and it was GREAT. If the topic of bestiality totally offends you, don't get it. If you want a funny movie that is probably more real-life than you want to imagine, get it. Just don't order it from Amazon because they will send you the wrong title 4 times in a row.
