The Doom Generation

Rating:
Summary: Watch it now!
Review: Low budget filmmaking that uses up it's resources like an anorexic teen eats a Tic Tac. It is required viewing and I've passed my copy around to all my friends so they can experience the movie for themselves. Yeah, sure, it's kind of gross and the homosexual themes aren't for everybody. But it's a fast, frenzied ride that will leave you with your jaw dropped, especially after the last scene. I believe that it was a French-American co-production and the movie really doesn't have a lot to say about the youth of United States... the main characters' last names, as we find out in the credits, are Red, White, and Blue. There's so much here to slurp up and analyze, yet it's such fluff that you don't have to have a brain to take it all in. I can't say enough about it. Okay, let me say one last thing. Don't watch it with your parents... I did the first time I saw it (on Thanksgiving no less) and it was a mistake! However, you laugh, you gasp, you scream! Watching it has changed my life!

Summary: I like it for one reason...
Review: I think that there is only one good thing in that movie... Rose McGowan. I thought it was very disturbing, discusting, and very bothersome. My favorite part had to be the creidits! I think that Rose McGowan can do a lot better.

Summary: It was distrubingly pleasing!
Review: Rose McGowan, one of today's most darring and exciting actresses, potrays the ultimate little girl lost as Amy Blue. The whole movie makes you think from the second Amy and her boyfriend, Jordan White meet Xavier Red. There is so much action, comedy, drama, and confusion is such a short amount of time, and the outcome makes you review every cruel thing you've ever done to anyone! It's a youth must see!

Rating:
Summary: biting social satire at it's best.
Review: This may very well be the most existentialist movie I have ever seen, Complete with sex, cigarettes, coffee, and more references to hell than The Bible. Araki ranks with Sartre and Voltaire as one of the most biting political comentators ever.

Rating:
Summary: intriguing absurdity
Review: The doom generation is one of those weird movies that wasn't the greatest but you aren't likely to forget. The violence in the film is actually not very graphic compared to the attitude twords violence. The charecters don't revel in violence like Alex in a Clockwork Orange, nor are they put off by it. They simply don't care. The only time they show remorse is when they accidentally run over a dog and then they are in tears. This movie is certainly strange and there is something of a message and I would reccomend it to those with off the wall tastes

Rating:
Summary: this movie has alittle of everything
Review: this movie is an amazing! it has humor, passion and everything possible in between, it is unpredictable, and it happens to have my favorite actress, Rose Mcgowan, in it. it's one of those movies, that could be a favorite. My friend and i are two silly girls who love fun movies, and this is our Favorite! it's one we can resite quotes from, and NO ONE will have a clue as to what we're talkin bout. so all in all, it's a different, yet greatly apprecitated by my friend and i movie!

Summary: "Doom" is appropriate, but misleading
Review: While "Doom" is a fairly brutal look at teens, it's a wholly appropriate one. It is only by its exaggeration that we see what its really about. The pathos, the pathetic, and the pompous are real parts of life and we are all intertwined in some weird "six degrees" kind of way. As far as this goes, Araki is a master. Also, I view the movie as that which really happens, but filmed in such a way as the characters would see it (in an absurd, drugged, sped up way). It's a nice look at Gen-X, the Doom Generation, and the visuals are often stunning, but we can only look at from the character lens Araki sets up to really see it.

Rating:
Summary: romping-stomping awesome crazy!
Review: This movie is one of the most messed-up, but at the same time, kickin' movies of all time. Its disturbing but so funny, and is filled with more action and drama than you could ever imagine! A running theme of 666 is pretty clever and the checkered room rules!

Rating:
Summary: four words: easy clean-up, nice rack
Review: great movie, the character X was who made the movie. Just when you think he's an ok guy he cleans up after himself. The use of the set totally made the movie. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the dead end about the police.

Rating:
Summary: If you have taste or intelligence, pass this by...
Review: Gregg Araki has a near-limitless arsenal of unpleasantness; just when you think this movie couldn't get any worse, Araki takes you a notch lower. Disgusting and meaningless.
