mathew mcConaughey, ben afleck, adam goldberg, parker posey, milla jovovich, are seen in very early roles here, showcasing there talent at a younger age, in richard linkleters love letter to 1970s austin texas, and a look at the last day of high chool, and eventual night full of partying that will go on, we follow the young freshmans atempts to stop from getting hit with a bat, by the older students, a tradion that goes on, there various atempts at escape and eventual capture is boh funny and cruel to watch, and the older guys and girls as they parade around the town just chilling and hanging out, looking for the next party or musing over there future, all charactors weave in and out of each others lives during the night, and is fun keeping up with storys, the time period looks great, and soundtrack is superb, of all the up and comers in film, rory cochrane was great as his stoner charactor, high all the time, and saying some mad things, and very iconic in his long hair and hat, afleck as bully looking for kidsto hit is also superb, playing a arsevhole wery well, and mcconaughey playing a much older wannabe high school drop out football player reliving his youth shows he can pull something off when hes not doing the stuff hes now doing, you could argue this is similer to george lucas,s american graffity, but manages to be quite diferent, with before sunrise this is linkleters best film, and a film perhaps because of setting asent aged since its 1993, release

9.11 paranoia, these are films we are getting now, and films are better for it, a great film showing america and there new wave of fear. brad and lexi are married and living in L.A while lexi goes to work brad stays home no job, one particular day, he hears on a radio bombs have gone off all over L.A naturally he panicks, shes stuck down town, hes in the house, whats he to do, its reported people have to barricade them selvs in away from contamination, after a quick dash down town hoping to get her and get supplies, hes confronted with a dilema, he decides, with a neighbour to lock up, and then lexi, turns up. low budget flm making here, but used to great affect, hand held cameras, and minimul locations add to the tension, and great look of the flm, theres great shots of downtown ablaze. great for such a small film, the tension in the house is great, brad(rory cochrane) is exellent, really senseing his fear and concern for lexi he wants her in but, knows he cant, again great tension, and a great twist, that shows in a way his stupidity, a great disaster film at a budget

deniro as a stroke victim, phillip seymour hoffman as a drag queen, a interesting prospect from our greatest living actor and in hoffman a contendor greatest living charactor actor, although it isnt totally sucessful,in deniro his illness role doesent hit heights of awakenings, although hoffman is marvellous, and adds another great charactor to his growing list, nice stry as deniro seeks help from hoffman for singing lessons as part of his reabilitation, but a not very good criminal plot gets in way of some great banter between deniro and hoffman, and when there on screen together it is a joy,
