"This is the fifth feature length film I've seen by director Terry Zwigoff. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Louie Bluie I've now seen all of Terry Zwigoff film's, and I find it amusing that the last one I was able to see was a documentary that I watched on a little TV in a library viewing room, since this was also the case with the first movie of his I saw. Although that film, Crumb, I watched in college in a cramped little room with a bunch of other guys and one girl. And if you've seen Crumb, you may know why that was a bit uncomfortable. I still thought it was a great documentary though, and was the beginning of my love for Terry Zwigoff. Ghost World and Bad Santa have been my favorites, but his early documentaries are good too. "

"I saw this on tv shortly after it came out of theaters. I enjoyed it (hard not to) but even as a teenager, I didn't get it. Sure I knew girls like this at my high school, albeit not quite as cut-out. Now that I'm 23...I totally get it. I found bits of myself in the three main characters. Do I want to grow up? Do I ever want to get rid of my treasured collectables and pretend that I'm like everyone else? Do I want to color my hair green while listening to the Buzzcocks? "

"One of my favorite things about film festivals is the chance you’ll have at seeing something that you’d probably never come across otherwise when you visit the multiplex or browse your rental queue. When the Toronto International Film Festival schedule was released last month and I saw Keven McMcAlester’s documentary about Dungeons & Dragons gamemasters, The Dungeon Masters, listed, I knew I had to see it. It wasn’t that I’d seen Keven’s earlier documentary about Roky Erickson, You’re Gonna Miss Me, and wanted to see this, nor did I want to see what fine cinematography Lee Daniel had crafted for the movie. No, I wanted to see this one for the geek in me. Heck, it even made Karina’s list of Films We’re Betting On for TIFF, and she doesn’t dole out the nerd love lightly. Although Dungeons & Dragons came out in 1974, the game is still played across the world, and "

"Thora Birch and Scarlett Johannson's best film in many ways..not least because they seem to be just sort of "playing themselves" Or ,what we might now think of as Curb Your Enthusiasm versions of themselves... Now i know i'm using all sorts of "knowing" shorthand there ,but if you are following me,have not seen this but love that "inappropriate" cringeworthy "meta"humour championed by "The Larry Sanders Show" ,and Ricky Gervais,where the tragedy of missed opportunity,and the laying bare of the maladroit ,bring BIG,back-of-the-hand-biting laughs of recognition and empathy,then you will lap this up, time after time..Ultimately it's a familiar "coming of age" tale,the misfit outgrowing the small town,but it's a bloody masterpiece ...check out that Gervais link for a bit of Serendipity..

"I’ve read two stories in two hours that refer to Juno as “crossover hit.” I’m not denying that it is, so far, a hit, both with audiences and with critics. But tell me again how this film??????made by a not-exactly-maverick director for a studio specialty division, starring three known actors and one tabloid staple, targeted at teens and young adults, both thematically and stylistically indebted (or, at the very least, related) to previous hits like Superbad, Ghost World and Napoleon Dynamite??????qualifies as a “crossover”? Yes, Searchlight bought “indie” credibility by taking Juno to a bunch of festivals and rolling it out slowly. But we’re also talking ab "

"Ghost World—The story of a sort-of-punk 18-year old girl and her cynical yet confused view of the world. It starts off somewhat amusing but, when she graduates from high school, her basic immaturity starts to show through her veneer of sophisticated cynicism. She fights with her best girl friend (who is growing up), alienates herself from her gentle father, and generally causes some kind of psychological harm wherever she goes. A surprisingly good movie but not pleasant to watch. Daniel Clowes (writer) and Terry Zwigoff (director) present one slice of teenage life, and it sticks with you weeks later. "

"This is my first movie review in my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Art School ConfidentialI've been a fan of Terry Zwigoff as a director since Crumb. Ghost World probably being my favorite, yet Bad Santa with a script idea by the Coen brothers I believe is the one that gives me the most laughs. When I saw that Zwigoff would be working with Daniel Clowes again, I had high hopes.Apparently a lot of other people did as well. Art School Confidential received some harsh criticism, seemingly more harsh than it would have been had it not been for the inevitable comparison to Ghost World. The reviews frightened me because I seemed to be initially in the same boat as many of those reviewers. All of those so harsh on this film seemed to be huge supporters of Zwigoff's previous work as well. It seems because of that reason many people reacted so excessivel "
