It claws your senses, twists your logic, and murders your soul; and yet I can't look away. .......2007-05-23

Another reviewer said Gummo was "unlike anything else of TV." My Holy Goodness, how right they were. If a lunatic was voted mayor of a town, Gummo would be the film depicting the townsfolk who call such a place "home-sweet-home."

We are introduced to the following: two awkward, gangly teens who kill cats and sell the rotting corpses to a local grocery store for a dollar per pound; three sisters who are about as backwards as anything this side of Appalachian poverty; a seedy brother who pimps his retarded sister out to teenaged boys; a sinister-looking young lady who, obviously being on the slow side, enjoys walking around the town singing "Jesus loves me this I know" as well as the always depraved "A-B-C-D-EFG-" song. Along the way, we also meet a young man wearing nothing but some swim trunks and a pink bunny hat who has the habit of urinating on cars driving beneath a local underpass. Oh, and for fits and giggles, we meet a group of rowdy mullet-styled rednecks who get their kicks from wrestling kitchen chairs to the point of exhaustion.

Sound like fun? This is a messed-up movie about twisted people living in the aftermath of a tornado that has swepth through their little slice of heaven. Nothing runs together smoothly as scenes and storylines come and go without rhyme or reason. Even the David Lynch and Terrence Malick crowds out there will feel disoriented in about 90% of this film.

A word of caution: if you begin to watch Gummo, you will have trouble turning away. I would liken it to a drug addiction that you know will harm you in some if you keep using it, but you end up alleviating such a warning by telling yourself, "Hey, just a little more. Just a little bit mo...."

time better spent elswhere.......2007-05-19

Here are some alternative suggestions to watching this movie:
1) spend the hour and a half in a forest preserve out house...
2) try making your own crystal meth and then doing it
3) eat some spoiled chicken, get sick, puke and then role around in it.
4) piss in your pants and don't change your clothes
Doing one or all of the above is a far better experience than sitting through this piece of vile trash.

I like cats........2007-05-19

I hated this trash. I'm so glad I saw it on IFC and didn't pay for rental. I can't ask for my money back. I do want that hour and a half back though. That so called writer/director(?) should go away.

SMALL TOWN AMERICA FREAK SHOW........2007-05-19

This film eloquently shows what the rest of the world have always known, that small town America is full of inbred Morons, come to think of it, midwest citiiesof full of these morons as well.

Objective review--GUMMO.......2007-05-14

So I tend to look at things in terms of nuetrality. This movie is freakin wierd, but incredibly artistic, take from it what you will. Its touching in its entirity as it lends insight into the shattered lives of victims of a devistating tornado in the unrecovering town of Xenia, OH. This is skewed by sensless acts of animal cruelty and odd behavior by residents which is obviously apparent in their off color choice of spare time activities. The movie ends abruptly leaving questions unanswered but more importantly a sense of sympathy for those in similar circumstances. It offers a startling depiction of a life very different than most, and a state of living not easily fathomed by most. This is very much a make-you-think kind of movie, especially in relation to the nature of human condition itself. Its a movie worth seeing for perspective if nothing else. It will be what you make of it....

With her third feature, Friends With Money, writer-director Nicole Holofcener continues to develop one of the most distinctive voices in American independent filmmaking. While not as purely satisfying as her previous films Walking and Talking and Lovely and Amazing, Holofcener's third feature is admirably ambitious in establishing a diverse and dynamic range of relationships among long-time girlfriends, their spouses (for better and worse), and the way in which money (or lack of it) affects them all. The have-not of the group is Olivia (Jennifer Aniston), a teacher-turned pot-smoking housecleaner in the upscale neighborhoods of West Los Angeles. She's drifting, uncertain of her future both professionally and romantically, while her friends Franny (Joan Cusack), Christine (Catherine Keener), and Jane (Frances McDormand) cope with the relatively enviable problems of wealthy discontentment. They've all got personal crises to resolve, and while Olivia juggles the affections of a likable louse (Scott Caan) and a lonely slob who's secretly rich (Bob Stephenson), Holofcener taps a rich vein of humor and melancholy as these women go about their daily routines, attending benefits, chatting over meals, and doting over Olivia as the "needy one" in their closed circle of friendships. All of this is richly observed and wonderfully acted (with male costars played by Greg Germann, Jason Isaacs, and Simon McBurney), but reaction to Friends With Money is strictly a matter of personal taste. Holofcener isn't telling a story so much as examining lives in various states of disarray, and she offers no false comforts or simple resolutions. Like life, Friends With Money just continues on its way, with some friends happier than others. There's plenty of truth to be found, if you know where to look.--Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews:

Satisfying slice-of-life about 40 somethings.......2007-07-04

"Friends with Money" is a slice-of-life drame about a group of female friends who no longer have much in common but nevertheless are tied together by their long-standing friendship.

Many plot threads are begun but few are resolved so the film leaves you feeling somewhat up-in-the-air - it almost feels like a pilot to a TV series. Despite all this "Friends with Money" is strangely satisfying. A mature film for an "adult" audience. This film will particularly resonate with 30-40 somethings.

Confused.......2007-05-23

How come these friends with money didn't get their friend without money hooked up with something that allowed her to become a friend with money? What kind of friends allow friends to clean houses, when they themselves have house maids? Shouldn't she have at least worked for her friends with money? All I know is, before you can figure that out, Olivia, played by Jennifer Anniston, marries a rich fat guy and the movie ends happy as can be. By the way, I have a hard time believing someone as exquisite as Jennifer Anniston, would either have a problem finding descent men or end up with a fat guy. The most realistic character in the movie was the menopausal Jane, played by Frances McDormand; she gets mad and lashes out, but no one seems to know why? All in all, the world portrayed in this movie seemed a bit superficial. Wealthy people and those who live amongst them are always protrayed as rich and happy, but guilty about being rich and happy. It seems like the same old story, unhappy socialites socializing about their status quo discomforts.

What was this??.......2007-05-20

I like Jennifer Aniston, so that was why I wanted to watch this movie. I did not get this movie at all. Jennifer Aniston was a cleaning woman, and her freinds were rich with marital problems. Apparently, Jennifer Aniston was a two month fling for some married guy that she kept crank calling. Then, she puts up with this other guy who just uses her for sex, and ask her for half her cleaning job money after they have sex in the houses that she cleans. They end the movie with Jennifer Aniston's fat sloppy client (his house was a mess) telling her that he was rich and didn't have to work, so she sleeps with him, too. She wants to help him buy new furniture for his house, and then, the movie is over. Is she stupid or what? I kept waiting for the story to start, and the next thing I knew, the movie was over. Urg? What did I miss? What was the story about? What was the point of the movie?

Disappointing.......2007-03-30

I wouldn't normally go running for a Jennifer Aniston film, but with Frances McDormand, Catherine Keener and Joan Cusack in this film, I thought it couldn't be bad. Maybe more of an indie flick than big budget Hollywood waste of time. Yes it COULD be bad. As some of the previous reviewers detailed so well, the characters are quirky (GOOD) but not well developed (BAD). There isn't one character you could really get behind, understand or have empathy for. Jennifer Aniston's character is an unmotivated maid, but she has such good values that she says she doesn't smoke her client's pot, that would be wrong. But she does steal their expensive face cream to use on her feet and also uses their sex toys. Huh? And the whole message about money - "is having money so good after all?" OK. But again, not well developed (BAD). The ending -- to use monetary terms -- is a SELL-OUT and CHEAP. Don't get fooled by a semi-great cast. This movie is a waste of time.

Not a comedy.......2007-03-27

Like many, it seems, I was not alone in finding the "comedy" in this "comedy" lacking. Frankly, I didn't laugh once. Rather, I was morbidly intrigued by the vast dysfunction portrayed by all of the characters.

Oliva (Aniston) is a former teacher turned pot-smoking maid who is hung up on her last relationship, a two-month fling with a mildly attractive married man. She is the friend with NO money. While on a blind date with a personal trainer, her date sees someone he claims to have known from high school. He spends much of his time talking to this other woman. When Aniston is ready to leave in a huff, he stops her and accompanies her along to her next appointment. When they're finished, he insists on getting a cut because he "helped" by dusting a shelf or two. The guy is a creep, and that Aniston goes out with him again and again, and continues to give him part of her hard earned money, says much of her own largely unexplained self hatred.

Franny (Cusack) is a wealthy homemaker with an active sex life and a husband who likes to help her spend her money. She's the only one who isn't entirely dysfunctional, but the lack of passion in her husbands voice hints at a deeper darkness.

Christine (Keener) barely recognizes her husband's existence, and he returns the favor as consciously as she offers it. Their relationship is the oddest, for they are writers - collaborators - and writing is an intensely personal experience. Collaborating with another person takes extraordinary care and patience. How these two ever did anything together to produce even moderate wealth is beyond belief.

Jane (McDormand) is a 43-year-old successful designer who is, according to Christine, married to a gay man. In reality, her husband is just plain Aaron - the effeminate heterosexual. She is, throughout the film, engrossed in rage. One item of note here: their son in the film looks like he might be a product of Jane and Aaron. Too often in films, you'll find a blond haired blue eyed child with parents who have brown hair and mismatched eyes.

It's difficult to imagine Jane, Christine, Franny and Olivia ever being friends. The three "with money" are all ten or more years older than Aniston in real life, and they look even older. Aniston, at 38, can still pass herself off as being in her 20s, so I was very surprised at the casting decisions. We weren't given any real background on the genesis of their friendships, but three 40-something women don't adopt a 30-something woman and then treat her as if she's been there all along. It was confusing.

There's a lot to work with here, but I feel as if much of it was left in the editing room floor, or simply never made it into the script. Why is Olivia consumed with self-hatred? Why is Jane so remarkably depressed, and what is the source of her anger? (She doesn't think Aaron is gay - and neither do we.) What brought Christine and her husband to this point, and how did they ever get anything done?

Why are they friends? (That's a question that should be able to be answered simply by observation. I didn't see it.)

A tense psychological thriller, Apartment Zero concerns the intertwining of a loner, film buff Colin Firth (The English Patient) and his new mysterious boarder (Hart Bochner) in present-day Argentina. The new roommate is enigmatic and outgoing, befriending everyone that the poor loner could not. But Firth soon suspects a connection between his boarder's appearance and the reports of bodies in the streets murdered for political reasons.

The heart of the film lies in the increasingly bizarre relationship that develops between the two opposites, breeding the seeds of mistrust. An original and offbeat noir-type drama, the film, cowritten by David Koepp (Jurassic Park), proceeds at a slow and deliberate pace, gradually drawing the viewer deeper into the intrigue and isolation of Firth's tortured soul. Some genuinely creepy moments and an all-around macabre mystery make this film worthwhile viewing for mystery fans everywhere. --Robert Lane

So I get on here and See 5 Star rating for this movie...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! If anyone ever tells you they liked this movie chances are they were A) In the movie B) Had something to do with the movie or C) Getting paid to write these LIES!!! LIES!!! I tell you. The only thing good about this movie was the fact that I didn't buy it my friend did. Horrible everything! Do yourself a favor if you ever go to someones house to watch a movie and you see this on there DVD shelf run out of that house as fast as you can and NEVER, NEVER LOOK BACK!!! My friend just mentions the movie and I cringe.

This is a slightly different cut than the original DVD/VHS release so that was interesting to see.

But the great thing about this DVD is the bonus commentary tracks; the first by director Martin Donovan and the other with Steven Soderbergh interviewing screenwriter David Koepp.

Informative and highly entertaining.

It is great to see many sides of Colin Firth in this one. To be this neurotic and twisted reminds me of Hannibal Lecter.

Papa's got a brand new trick........2006-09-21

Ok, for one thing this is my first review of anything on amazon or otherwise.

This is a great flick. It has a killer soundtrack. I will agree with one reviewer that it shouldn't be "Freeway 2".I found that rather unfortunate.But you know how it is in hollywood. The funny part is that "Freeway" was a cult hit at best anyway...

But "Trick" on it's own, held it's own. A very clever and inventive plot twist at the end, and I'm not talkin' about "Sister Rosa " being a man. That was obvious to me the first time they showed him/her, and I'm pretty sure it was planned that way.

It got a lttie silly at times, but then I realized it was SUPPOSED to be silly. After all we ARE talking about fairy tales here aren't we? Matthew Bright, a low budget Quentin?? The soundtrack wove perfectly into the fabric of the film, going from frightening to playful to somber as the mood dictated.

An art house 5 stars, not a hollywood 5 stars. which I'm pretty sure is a good thing. Oh yeah, and i got it for like $1.14 plus shipping on VHS.

Vincent Gallo Steals Every Scene.......2006-09-15

With this film, I'm going to do what Roger Ebert does. After watching the film, I would give it three stars and a C. However, the qualities that it has that allowed me to enjoy it manage to bump up my grade to a B. The first Freeway film (by the same writer/director of this film, Matthew Bright) was a new spin on Little Red Riding Hood which starred Kiefer Sutherland and Reese Witherspoon. Freeway 2 has absolutely nothing to do with Freeway, except for the fact that this film also rehashes a classic story...This time Hansel and Gretel. Natasha Lyonne ('Slums of Beverly Hills') plays Crystal, also known as White Girl...White Girl has an eating disorder and is sentenced to 25 years in prison for some drug charges. The judge is director John Landis. In a hospital for eating disorders, awaiting transfer to a prison, White Girl meets Cyclona, who has more than just a little bit of mental problems. The two manage to escape from the prison and begin to head to Mexico so Cyclona can reunite with Sister Gomez (Vincent Gallo, who I'll talk about in a minute). David Alan Grier is hilarious as White Girl's lawyer. Anyway, I would've never heard of this film but I was surfing through Vincent Gallo's
filmography and stumbled upon it. The title didn't strike me, but it said Vincent Gallo played "the wicked witch." He doesn't play a wicked witch, but he does play the witch of the story and manages to steal the movie. Which doesn't say much, because the performances (and it has a lot to do with the bad dialogue) are horrible. Even Lyonne, who's a talented actress, is pretty much wasted here. I've never seen Freeway 1, so I can't compare the two films...But, overall, this movie DID keep me entertained. It was a pretty bad movie (I think it's straight-to-video); But Vincent Gallo and David Alan Grier are funny as hell. As a side note, this movie has something to offend everyone. The movie contains elements of eating disorders, murder, necrophilia, pedophilia, cannibalism, and Vincent Gallo...So not everyone will like it. If you are a Gallo fan, it's worth checking out. It's not much, but it has it's moments.

SHOULD BE: C-
IS: B-

Excellent!!.......2004-12-28

Being a fan of the original "Freeway," I almost did not rent this movie because it is not a continuation of the first movie. In fact, it doesn't even have the same actors as the first and its plot is completely different. Also, the video cover suggests that the movie is a low budget b-rated flick with terrible acting and an even worse plot. I was pleasantly surprised. If you are a fan of the original than you will absolutely love this movie. Its darker, more perverted, twisted and sick. Its a dark disturbing movie that delves into as many dark and taboo themes as one could ask for. Cannibalism, serial killing, bulimia, lesbianism, psychopaths, fantasy..this movie has it all. I also loved the inclusion of a fairy tale theme that was actually more a part of the movie than the little red riding hood was in the original. Definitely a must see!

aaaah, now i get it........2002-11-04

okay, this movie was junk, and the one that came before it wasn't too much better, but i've noticed that a lot of people haven't seen the connection between the two. basically, the first one was little red riding hood. the second one? hansel and gretal. you're welcome.

excellent.......2002-07-06

This movie was amazing, although the first "Freeway" was my favourite movie of all time. This movie was faboulous. Natasha Lyonne was great - her best movie ever . Vincent Gallo is faboulous as well. Cyclona is an obsessed freind and a crazy killer. You can't blame her. She was some what possesed by the devil. With Sister Gomez being a tranvestite killing children, putting intestines on the stairs, and making Cyclona watch her do, um, naughty things, This movie was incredibly frightning but wonderful. It was a little hard to handle.

This is an excellent cross medium tool that is both educational and entertaining.
My two children have used Max and Friends for two years now. The program never tires and thanks to the pleasing childrens music it is sometimes a welcome relief for the parents too. We found that the children use the 3 learning DVDs (almost an hour each) as well as the colored illustrated books and music CD at different times of the day. Max has helped both my kids learn and at the same time kept them entertained. The creators. Launch into Learning, have created a unique and pleasing product for all teachers and parents looking for an ABA curriculum to aid children with various levels of autism and other learning disorders.

Max and Friends.......2005-02-14

Max and Friends is a great learning tool for parents to use at home with all of their children. I have three children. All three of my boys can learn from the interactive DVDs. The matching, imitation, and command modules are presented in a warm and inviting manner that makes children want to particpate and learn. Max has a unique way of catching a child's interest, all while allowing parents to follow through with their child's learning and educational program. I would recommend Max and Friends to anyone with children- it is an amazing learning tool for the whole family. A welcome change to traditional children's television programs!

This book along with "Hermie" and "You are Special" are great books for children! My 2 year old loves this one and so do my 8 and 10 yr olds. Lucado seems to have a way to write any book directly at the audience and it seems like the audience is always you. I love Lucado's adult books and "you are Special" was so great I had to buy this one. It has been carried around, droppped, dragged and dunked, it is still readable and gets read atleast once a day, upon request!
