... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreWARNING: I advise anyone who has not seen the film yet to not read this comment.Weirdsville was overall a pretty good and entertaining movie. I had been wanting to see it for awhile because it looked very cool and also Taryn Manning was in it and I love her. It ended up being nostalgic for me because, well, when the movie started off, I really didn't know what to expect. I had read what it was about and after I did the movie seemed very promising, but the feeling I got from the opening just wasn't a good one, or to be more kind, a weird one, which is understandable from the obvious title. I mean, for about the first 20 minutes I really just wasn't interested in it and was waiting for something exciting to happen. As the film progressed, it was kind of like a roller coaster. At points (When the Satan-worshiping cults fist come in; the midget cop and when he rounds up his medieval posse; all the Taryn Manning scenes) I was very interested and entertained and was loving it. At others though, it was just so and quite hard to tolerate, because the characters are quite annoying and the plot really doesn't suck you in that much.I love the whole concept, though; A cult wanting the blood of a girl who they believed was brought back by Lucipher himself, while at the same time her screw-up friends who are constantly high are on the mission to pay off a guy who they had a drug dealing with and at the end the stories all collide into one; It was just so chaotic and fun. At the same time though, it could've been handled way better. Well, I enjoyed it to an extent and I enjoyed Taryn Manning for she made the movie so much better, but overall there are a lot of greater films I could have spent my time with. Maybe I would enjoy it more an rewatch, we'll see.
... View MoreWARNING: This movie is unapologetically Canadian... which, in this case, is a good thing. Especially when this film could have been set in any city, town or village in the world.I expected a low-budget, independent attempt at art. And what starts as out tragic and dark, grows into a fun, "what can happen now" sort of adventure that is surprisingly amusing. Yes, it's goofy at times. Yes, it borders on ridiculous, too. But dammit, it's fun. It carefully dances on the fine line of gross tragedy and outright slapstick, but doesn't quite cross the line either way.The production value is fairly high, even if the budget wasn't. (The gritty darkness really suits the adventures of two junkies, anyway.) Scott Speedman and Wes Bentley build a real chemistry that grows on you and it's really good to see Bentley in a role that is FINALLY likable. Taryn Manning also does a good job, although I fear she's going to get pigeon-holed into similar roles. She deserves better. The rest of the cast does a solid job with no obvious weak link.Finally, people are going to draw a lot of similarities to other movies. I would like to think of this as a strange cross between "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" and "Dude, Where's My Car?", with it leaning favourably toward the Dude side. It has a couple of introspective, deep moments, but balances it out with lighter, playful moments the rest of the time.Really, if you ever "got the joke" of "Dude, Where's My Car?" or even found some sick humour out of the head trip of "Fear And Loathing..." check out "Weirdsville". You may be pleasantly surprised. 8 out of 10.
... View MoreWeirdsville follows two junkie friends as they careen through a night of excess and oddities. The main problem with it is that all the weird situations feel contrived, like someone without much imagination sat around trying to think of weird things. It doesn't have the bizarre, what-comes-next edge of a Tarantino or Lynch movie; each time something happens that is supposed to be weird, it's just banal.The acting, production and other aspects of the movie are fine; it's the script that suffers from a lack of weirdness. No doubt it sounded funny on paper.The movie is watchable and better than a lot of films I've paid more to see. It's just that the synopsis and title misled me; I was expecting some really strange turns to the plot and all I got were midgets and dope fiends.
... View MoreIt's just wonderful to see how three best friends wind up in a story that's just so complicated and poetic. I was amazed by the outcome of every situation and I think there should be more movies like this one. Even the music was perfect for the movie. I also really like it when the makers put something useful to know in the movie and in this one, they certainly did, but what I liked most is that the piece that the mouse (or rat) played in the story, without it, the movie would have been less meaningful and I think it's really great that people can come up with these things to put in their movie which completes it ... without it, the film wouldn't have been the same. ... great piece of work
