Amusement (2008)
Generates enough tension and scares to be memorable!
Let me preface this review by saying that I am a horror movie freak. I love the good ones and the bad ones, the scary and the cheesy. I expected a certain degree of cheese from Amusement but I was delightfully surprised to find some genuinely scary moments, as well. The scenes involving the clown had me absolutely frozen with fear. However, this movie is also riddled with plot holes. (Why is some lady posing as a police officer and questioning Tabitha in the scary underground dungeon? Who is that truck driver and why is he lending a hand in all this? Who was that blond girl who threw herself from the truck? Why would someone wait for two days and not report their friend missing? What in the HELL is going on here!?) If you're a die-hard horror fan, you should at least give this one a watch. I felt like the scares were worth it and you can always chuckle your way through the glaring inconsistencies.
Ken Park (2002)
Fails to make any valid statement..mostly pointless sex.
I'm beginning to think that Larry Clark cares more about "pushing the envelope" by depicting exponentially more and more gratuitous teenage sex with each of his films than he does about ensuring any realistic plot. This was yet another in a string of pointless 'those crazy kids!' flicks where we get to (oh joy!) follow around a bunch of vacant teen miscreants on their outrageous, totally unbelievable sex and drug-fueled adventures. Even if you're very, very creative and desperate to find a message or lesson to be learned from this contrived bit of garbage, I'm afraid you're still going to be somewhat disappointed.
However, if you enjoy the illusion of kiddie porn disguised (not so cleverly) as a hip, edgy indie flick then you'll probably think it's great.
