Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Smith's everyday life in college consists of: hanging out with his artsy, sarcastic best friend Stella, hooking up with a beautiful free spirit named London, and lusting for his gorgeous but dim surfer roommate Thor But it all gets turned upside-down after one fateful, terrifying night, when a reoccurring dream becomes a bleak reality, and he starts having visions of a dystopian nature.Araki movies are an acquired taste, you either get them and appreciate their beauty, or you get on the bandwagon of people who cannot stomach certain things and dismiss it as rubbish.Out of all the Araki movies, this has to be his most accessible, and it's very intriguing from beginning to end. The opening shot is very reminiscent of something that David Lynch would do, and the film does have a very Mulholland Drive feel about it.As his films do, it gets very bonkers toward the end, and you do have to suspend belief come the very end, but the film has such a cool laid back lizard feel to it, that you cannot help but get sucked in to his vision.Not all will appreciate his work, but I really enjoyed this.

That's how 'Kaboom' is billed on the DVD. I watched it, premiered on Film 4 last night.Initially I rather liked it, the striking design, the casual attitudes to almost everything and the dialogue. Especially the catty one-liners. I'm not familiar with this director and on the strength of this one movie, I'm not in a particular hurry to explore further, however.I realise that it's intended to be a surreal cult film and where it falls to pieces is where it starts to mess with your head, as it's just non-sensical and frankly, silly. I also realise that I'm not in the probable intended audience, age-wise. People running around in pig- headed masks just don't grab me, I'm afraid.The liberal, mixed sex scenes were both interesting and fun and the attitude that good sex is just that, refreshing. Most of the young cast play their parts well, especially Thomas Dekker, Haley Bennett and Juno Temple. I did watch it all and there were many good points and I enjoyed much of it, but ultimately, it's just too way out there.

OMG this is what i call bad movie. I can't believe that it actually have solid rate at 5.8. Acting is very lame, screenplay is awful. I planned to watch some Gregg Araki movies soon, but now i think i won't. Thomas Dekker and Haley Bennet had some solid acting in this movie, but rest of cast is very very bad. Well at least i was watching Haley, she is so beautifu. Only good thing about movie. In first 20 minutes story was solid and interesting. Rest of film is simply rubbish. I don't know, maybe they didn't had enough money to film it like they wanted. Anyway this film is definitely the worst of my life, so guys if you wanna lose 80 minutes of your life this is right film to do such a thing.

This is Gregg Araki's best film since his 1997 "Nowhere" and the kind of gay comedy I can show to people who hate gay comedies.Why? Because, while the cast is gorgeous, they are also fantastic actors - and Araki knows how to direct and edit comedy. The gags are timed to perfection and character's tongues are kept firmly in cheek (in other words, you don't find witless muscle boys mugging the camera in a Gregg Araki film).Silly and goofy? Yes. But so what? It is like a great big gay version of "Escape to Witch Mountain" with a little flesh thrown in for good measure.Great fun!
