A Midsummer Night's Rave (2002)
a better "GROOVE
I just finished watching this movie at SXSW. I believe this was a final cut. The movie is very loosely based on the book. This is a movie in which you should read the book (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM) in order to get the subtle jokes. However, as it's own entity, the movie does stand on it's own. The movie has good Rave shots which won't require stoping and rewinding. There are some very good moments especially Puck and Devon. This was a good film with a killer sound track. I would recommend watching this movie with a very light heart.
Frida (2002)
Frida, Salma missed the boat
IF Frida is any indication of what you can expect from Hollywood in 2003 save your Money. Frida Kahlo was a revolutionary not because of her Sex life but because of her Art. Her Art spoke for the pain in her back, the pain in her heart and the her belief in the people. However none of these thoughts reach the screen instead we get another based on a book trite Bio-pic. Frida is objectified and marginalized into cliches that we can easily dispose of into trash cans. The Film Frida tries to be on par with films such as Polluck or Lust for Life(Van Gogh, Kurt Douglas) which show the passion and reasons why these tortured masters painted the way they did. Instead the audience gets to see a whore, a drunk and empty, deformed characture that is pale in comparison to the real person. Frida was revolutionary because she painted such beauty in a time when everyone copied Picasso, Pop and Polluck. Frida's use of color stands far above her contemporaries. Diego Rivera painted Frescos when no one was. Instead the film choose to show "You are who you have Sex with instead of the Artist". Save your money or go see The Two Towers again This Film is not worth your time or money.
