Southland Tales

2nd film from the writer / director of Donnie Darko, a film he’s been working on ever since he finished DD. A Sci-Fi film set in an alternate future after a terrorist nuclear attack on Texas in 2005 leads to World War 3 in the Middle East. Now, I liked Donnie Darko, yes it was confusing & a bit strange but had some kind of coherence & internal logic but Southland Tales takes confusing to a whole new level! I mean, any film that casts Sarah Michelle Gellar as a porn star can’t be all bad?? Sadly, not so..although the things that come out of her mouth!! Sadly nothing goes in…anyway, massive cast in this, if you don’t recognise the names you will recognise the faces but it’s just too weird, could do with about an hour cut out to push the plot forward. One thing i will say, however bad it was, I can’t stop thinking about it…so if you fancy getting your brain twisted a bit watch it, if films like this annoy you avoid at all costs!
