"KidsFrom a narrative and directing standpoint this film rivals the best of documentary filmmaking. Except, its not a documentary. Its a disgusting cautionary tale of trash culture. Its an urban nightmare influenced by the AIDS epidemic. How in the hell did Larry Clark pull this off? How in the hell is he not in prison now? This is a brilliant and sick film.****out of *****p.s. the first time I saw this no one knew of Chloe Sevigny - but she is at the core of this film and carries most of its emotional weightMODIFICATION - I thought about this some more and since the film is truly repellent I gotta knock off 1/2 star "

"Jonathan Levine’s crowd-pleasing (in terms of audience awards at festivals, not in terms of uplifting Hollywood endings) film The Wackness opens in limited release tomorrow. In case you haven’t noticed from the ads and the soundtrack, it takes place in the New York City of 1994, a special time for the place because Rudy Giuliani had just become mayor and was beginning to clean up the city, Goldie Wilson-stylee (OK, not really Goldie Wilson-stylee, but who doesn’t love a good BTTF reference?). NYC in the ’90s was quite special for me. It’s when I moved here. And moved here a second time (I’ve since moved here a third time), and watching The Wackness made me nostalgic for the decade. It also made me think of some of the other films from or set in that period, a number of which kind of define my experience with the city.

10 More ’90s Indies to Franchise

"Now that we know, courtesy of Stu at Defamer, that Werner Herzog’s remake of Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant is not so much a remake as it is like a new entry into a franchise, a la the James Bond movies, we at SpoutBlog wonder what other ’90s indie favorites could be continued with similar yet “completely different” installments. I remember back in the day thinking that Clerks should be a franchise, each film focusing on a different crappy job experience, but now that Clerks II has come and gone, that idea will likely never be realized. Of course, the concept of sequels unrelated to the original aren’t new — just look at any sequel title substituting the number 2 (or II) with the word Too. But nevertheless, here’s a few suggestions for other crazy foreign auteurs to take into consideration: Kids - Looking back, Larry Clark’s then-shocking debut is pretty tame. Nowaday "

"Anyone who doesn't like Kids is just jealous. This is a portrait of the adolecent years we all wanted to have! But seriously, folks, Kids is intended to be a horrowing look at today's youth, but it comes of as very fake. I have no doubt there really are kids with lives as sorry and sad as this, but this movie lacks any context. I could almost see Larry Clark behind the camera going "Okay, the audince is really gonna get freaked out if I show 'em this!..." The loose plot is strung together by Jennie (Chloe Sevigny) discovering that she has been infected with HIV by the only man (if you can call him that) she ever slept with, Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick). Telly doesn't know he has the virus and loves having unprotected sex with virgins. He has just set his eye on Jennie's best friend Darcy (Yakira Peguero). All of this is set against the backdrop of a lot juvinille debauchery, including drug use and murder. Although Kids calls itself a "wake-up call" on the DVD box, it's really just ... "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown round #2”. Read more about that here.Riri Shushu no subete (All About Lily Chou-Chou)Before I watched this I heard it described as a Japanese version of Kids. I like that movie and am interested in Japanese culture, but it didn't turn out to be a very good description in my opinion. I can see where they were coming from, but this movie seemed to be trying to grasp something bigger and profound than Kids. And I generally prefer a movie that keeps it simple to avoid getting to pretentious.This movie is more about some kind of search for something bigger through hero worship of a musician in this technological age. And the movie is quite long. Almost two and a half hours. The movie often shows text written on internet message boards on the screen, and I had trouble determining which characters on screen corresponded to which characters on the message board. There were some interesting and somewhat compelling m ... "

"Kids is the type of movie that will stay with you long after its climaxing scene. I watched this flick years back and to this day it hails as one of my all time favorite hardcore drama movies. When it was released i want to say it was edge breaking due to its insanley sensitive reflection of corrupted modern youth in America. "

"When I was in college Kids was one of the most popular films amoung the students. The movie itself is a graphic portrayal of a group of friends and their quest to fulfll their unquenching thirst for sex, drugs and mayham as well as the consequences suffered by their excess. The movie is very shocking at times and offers a sobering message of the dangers to the lifestyles portrayed, but also glamourizes them at the same time. I know that a lot of parents will not identify with the message of the film, but the sad truth is that many of the films central themes are common experiences for many teens today. It's a dangerous world out there and parents should be warned. While not everything turns out to be a worst case scenario in life there are many lessons that young people shouldn't have to learn early in life. Kids is shocking in the innocence that is missing and the grittiness of the film, but definetely worth checking out for the sobering view into a teenage sub-culture. "

"I am not sure if you call this a reality film. But the overall theme of this movie was a bit scary to me. I do not like to even entertain the idea of my kids being like this. It makes me really want to focus more on Parenting, and just educating my kids. This was an interesting film. I would not watch it again. Any thoughts? "
