Super quick post
today. Zooey Deschanel has become something of a sensation ever since her
sitcom New Girl was launched. She’s such a well known name now I think it’s
easy to forget that she started out from very firm Indie roots. Unfortunately
this wasn’t necessarily a good thing, and there’s more than a few questionable
films in her back catalogue [btw Your Highness was at number 6]
5. The Go-Getter
A kid takes a
road-trip in a stolen car to find his long-lost brother. Lots of random Indie coincidences
and stilted, pointless conversations occur
4. Winter Passing
An actress needs
publishing permission from her reclusive writer father, who prefers hanging out
with groupie students. It’s actually not that bad, but it’s so full of dysfunctional
family indie clichés it feels like you’ve already seen it
3. The New Guy
A dork at a new
school reinvents himself as a cool guy. Its neither funny, nor clever, and even
Eliza Dushku’s hotness can’t save it. DJ Quails isn’t a leading man for a
reason
2. Live Free or
Die
From some of the
writers of Seinfeld, you’d expect good things, but alas this is slow to start,
and quite muddled. Most importantly, not very funny
1. Flakes
Sooo boring I
fell asleep in the middle. It has a great quirky concept about a restaurant which
only serves bowls of various cereals – its as if they thought the premise was
so good, they forgot about decent plot or even likeable characters. Christopher
Lloyd should be ashamed
