Ken Park (2002)


A drama by Larry Clark.
A young man kills himself and his friends go about their messed up lives, not knowing what happened until one of them mentions him while playing a game.
There were some crazy scenes in this film! From the father smashing the son's skateboard to the menage a trois near the end, it was all too revealing. Speaking of too revealing, this film contains the most phalluses I've seen in a non-porn flick. The plot and characters were very believable and the style was good. I'm rating it adequate. It would have gotten a better rating if they cut down on the penis shots.

Another Day in Paradise (1998)


A crime drama directed by Larry Clark, starring James Woods.
An older drug dealing couple team up with a younger drug doing couple to execute some robberies.
The characters and plot were good, but the pacing was off. The visual style was also not to my taste, as it relied too heavily on warm colors. There was a lot of blues and country-based music throughout the film. I'm rating it adequate because it should have been better, but as is, it wasn't bad.
