... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreIt's another one of those collections of weirdos movies which seem to be the modus operandi of independent filmmakers. The best cameo belongs to John Cusack who plays Casper, the friendly pirate. He believes that there should be "free food for everyone." Yeah man, like, yeah. John Doe, everyman in name and features, takes an annoying dead guy's ashes to the homespun casino where everybody knew his name and they were glad he spent his money. It takes him the better part of the film to find it. He asks many, including Timothy Leary, who couldn't help him either, and finally dumps his remains in the desert. If, like me, you were perusing the oeuvre of Jennifer Balgobin, you may be interested to know that after an amusingly spastic exotic dance, she reveals her right nipple. Nice, but not worth having to listen to Abbe Wool's hippie logic or Adam Horowitz's every word. Best enjoyed by those who lived, and liked, the 60's or those who think that Easy Rider is a classic.
... View Moretop 3 movies are kill bill, mall rats, and roadside prophets. of those three, i recommend this one equally, this says a lot since those films rule... i can recite this flick word for word, and do. this is a necessary movie on so many levels, it costars the Beastie Boys ad-rock, who is a great Thespian, it also has some really rad cameos, Arlo Guthrie, Timothy Leary, John Cusac, and David "KILL BILL" Carodine too... all the cameos, like Red Hot Chili Peppers FLEA, all are so good. this is the best easy rider flick, better than easy rider...a must see...you should go rent it, or buy it now...
... View MoreAlthough I first went to see this movie because it had Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys in it. I soon realized it was actually a credible movie. John Doe does great job convincing the audience that he is sigle minded with an altruistic purpose. And I loved the Symbanise Liberation Army scenes with the special guest appearence. I put this flick in the indie-noir catagory just for s***s and giggles. We get a clear glimpse of lower/middle class America and see where we need to assert pressure for change. Lots of changes if I directed
... View MoreA blue-collar joe seeking to fulfil a dead man's last wish finds himself sucked into a spiritual journey and questioning his own life.This is a film that lends itself to being misunderstood. Previous comments have listed it as "rambling", and I can see where it might appear that way. Just remember the name of the film. It's not about the quest to bury ashes. It's about personal enlightenment and breaking away from a static, nowhere life.Rich characters and counter-cultural icons litter this film. Definitely a find if you're a fan of movies like "Alice's Restaurant" and "Fritz the Cat".
