SOUTHLAND TALES FANTASTIC ROMP THROUGH THE UNIVERSE

"I am a pimp, and pimps do not commit suicide." From this moment on, I will be a Dwayne Johnson (Boxer Santos) fan. He was able to pull off that campy stylized balance of intended sarcastic humor and not-so-serious-seriousness. This was a mind bending, stylized campy excursion into the future where nothing is what anyone could predict. What a fantastic romp in the park this was. To attempt to explain the plot I would face too difficult a task. Basically, it is about "this is the way the world ends" and politics, government, eco-terrorism, cyberspace, and porn stars to say the very least. The cast (Sarah Micheller Geller, Justin Timberlake, Jon Lovitz, Sean William Scott, Mandy Moore, and a huge handful of current and former SNL cast) could not be more star studded than this one which surprisingly went to DVD way too quick. It is different, dizzying and compelling all at once. The characters are fabulous and larger than life but something about it just makes you more and more drawn in. If I were to enjoy a guilty pleasure, this would be it. You either really like it or really hate it. I really enjoyed this movie. http://southlandtales.com/

PICK: This film was fun and fabulous. Keep an open mind and hold on.
