Road to Nowhere
Odd little road movie that I watched out of curiosity after seeing Grindhouse a couple weekends ago. Thank goodness for Warren Oates, he added a much needed dose of interest to contrast the wooden acting and pointless dialog of James Taylor and the other principals of the film (some prime examples: "I need to check the pistons" -- "you're going to need a new carbourator" -- etc etc). There are a few scenes here and there which pique your interest and mistakenly give the impression that something interesting is going to happen soon, but don't be fooled. Like Taylor's souped up Chevy project car, it makes a lot of noise, it goes pretty fast, but ultimately it is headed nowhere. Perhaps that's the point.
