August 27, 2009They said it could never be adapted into film and they were wrong. Gilliam, Del Toro and Depp on top of their game. Brilliant.

March 22, 2009The kids have this thing they do late at night on the weekends called Road Tripping. You go out in your vehicle and drive around all night drinking and smoking dope.

September 29, 2007It sounds insane, ...reminiscent of Trainspotting & London, it makes me wonder who in this movie perceives reality as it is & who perceives it as they want, fear, or dare to.
