MCT:August 26, 2008Who named these characters? Darlette - is that even a real name? I don't think so - and I have had some experience with crazy names. I really wish I didn't know about all of Brad Pitt's early attempts at acting.

MCT:July 16, 2007JOHNNY SUEDE
Starring Brad Pitt.
From F to A+.
Grade: F.
A waste of time. A senseless downer. A psychological dozer. A plot that makes about as much sense as the Spamburger. When it was over, I laughed at the nonbrilliance of this cinematic sludge and couldn't wait for less.
If you collect bad movies, put this one at the top of your shopping list. However, take some Prozac before watching it, in order to avoid clinical depression.

And one night, after leaving a nightclub, like manna from heaven, a pair of black suede shoes falls at his feet. Soon afterwards, the recently completed Johnny meets Darlette, a sultry bohemian whom he beds down for the night. In spite of Darlette's abusive boyfriend with a gun, Johnny begins to see Darlette everyday. But when Johnny is forced to pawn his guitar for rent money, Darlette mysteriously leaves him. Johnny's pal Deke fronts him the money to get his guitar out of hock, and the two form a band. Depressed about Darlette's desertion, he wanders aimlessly, and he meets Yvonne, a woman much wiser than Johnny who teaches him that there are things in life much more important than a pair of black suede shoes. -

MCT:May 29, 2006Tom Dicillo has his own uniquelly smart and entertaining way of being left of center. In this film there is is a minimalist aesthetic which seems like maybe it was his creative way of dealing with the budget constraint. The affect is a desolate urban landscape existing in a slightly altered universe from reality akin to what Jim Jarmusch or Hal Hartley portrays. A young Brad Pitt and Catherine Keener are both odd and delightful together. Keener's jaded-girl movie personae seems to have first appeared here. Pitt's pompodour is purposefully exaggerated as is everything about this guy who really is more of a dream character held together a by a very specific set of symbols rather then a personality, though, Pitt plays this with a child-like innocence that is endearing. It seems also that this was the young Pitt having the instinct to send up his teen idol good looks in a similar way to what Johnny Depp did in John Water's 'Cry Baby'.
