Green (1997)
Still don't know why this movie was so overlooked
I saw this movie at a festival, and was completely struck by it. The characters were written so artfully that it quickly became my favorite film there. I kept expecting I'd hear about a theatrical release at some point.
Unfortunately for this movie, on paper it probably seems like another Gen X bitch-fest. But in actuality, it is a really eye opening look at human issues NOT related to a specific generation. Groping for success, love and happiness is a basic human action, no matter how old you are. And the characters that populate this film want for the full range of human desires. Sometimes it's heavy, but usually it's funny.
The writer/director of this film has eerie insight into how people work (especially with the female character). He's surely going to go far.
Killer Bud (2001)
A wacky tale of two pathetic saps, looking for action -
This is a totally goofy, fun movie. I really enjoyed seeing David Faustino playing one of the main characters. It was the first time I'd seen him since "Married With Children" and I thought he did a really terrific job. The most hilarious part is when he and "Waylon" get locked in the convenience store. The fight they have, and the confession he makes later is great. Corin Nemick was very convincing as the delusional geek who actually believed he and "Buzz" were cool. Also, there's some really amazing animation. I thought about the movie after I watched it, and even though on the surface, it just seems like a silly comedy, I think that there was a lot of thought and a lot of heart underneath. I just loved it!
