    Well, filmmakers should aim high, they say. And Richard Kelly shot the moon on his highly-anticipated follow-up to cult sensation Donnie Darko, which expands the apocalyptic mood of that movie and blows it up tenfold. Set during the election season of 2008, Southland Tales proposes a series of apparently linked events: the reappearance of a vanished movie star (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), now an amnesiac; the bizarre doubling of a policeman (Seann William Scott in two roles); the development of an energy source from ocean waves; and the presence of an Iraq War veteran (Justin Timberlake) who seems to be watching everything, and narrating some of it. Not that the narration helps; even with voice-over (reportedly added after the film's disastrous debut at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival), Southland Tales doesn't come close to making sense, let alone at the minimum level of dangling a carrot to lead the audience along (even Mulholland Drive had a semblance of murder mystery to be solved, or not). The cast is loaded with Saturday Night Live cut-ups, but only Jon Lovitz connects, and in other roles people like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christopher Lambert, Bai Ling, and John Larroquette are utterly mystifying, by no fault of their own. In some of the musical sequences Kelly gets in stride, but it's easy to create drama in a three-minute music video, and harder to do over two and a half hours. Some top critics rushed to champion the movie, as though flying in the face of philistinism, so feel free to try out this incoherent pastiche for yourself. --Robert Horton

    5 out of 5 stars Artistic and Innovative   January 15, 2010
    Brandon Dahlberg (Memphis, TN)
    First, this film is bizarre. You will likely be confused watching it and very few, if any, of your questions will be answered at the end. There is no catharsis here. That being said, this film has strokes of genius throughout, and if you don't mind something completely a-typical then I think you'll enjoy it. The casting choices here are absurd, which is precisely why they work so well. I would encourage you to give it a try if you're looking for something very different than what you're used to, or to anyone who is used to those very different movies.

    Seriously, have three vodka martinis, settle down, and enjoy the movie of your lifetime. There is so much here that will blow your unsettled mind. I mean, "Cheri Oteri in the best role of her career!"--what does that mean? And yet, here it is! Richard Kelley poured his soul into this, and got absolutely nothing for his efforts. Is there even a cult following for this film? There HAS to be! It deserves it on so many levels. So many wonderful moments. So many surprising appearances. (Amy Poehler? A haunting Jon Lovitz?) Beautiful...odd...a weird, sparkly, deep-ish, end-of-the-world gift from a distinctive voice, aiming high and achieving...eh, something that deserves seeing. The cranberry and vodka is on me. Enjoy!


    3 out of 5 stars Knowing the real Southalnd helps - a lot   January 2, 2010
    Cole E. Harvey
    The mixed reviews are to be expected because you have to know about the real Southland to see the comedic spoofs. Sadly spoofing Los Angeles and convoluted political and sci-fi story are all that carry the first half of the movie. I would expect viewers not getting the jokes will move on. In the end I think it has a lot to offer but expect to be board if you haven't lived in Los Angeles county.

    This is a bad movie. Its like someone made a zoo for bad, awkward actors. It is disjointed, chaotic, inexplicable. It is the Flash Gordon of our generation. It will someday rise to its rightful place as a midnight movie staple. "Daddy? Why is The Rock talking to the Inconceivable guy from the princess bride, the weird old lady from Poltergeist?" "Because it was 2006 honey. Eat your popcorn."

    Has quite a few interesting innovation, but it is so stupid, I had to force myself to watch it and I could not even finish it.
