    A suitcase and a bowling ball bag along with a cast of off kilter characters including an aspring actor, a lolita and her jealous boyfriend, an FBI agent, a hooker, a cowboy, (what's a cowboy without) an indian, and others.. All meshed together in a small desert town out in "The...( read more) Big Empty".

    I'm still not sure if I've got a complete handle on the movie and I've seen it quite a few times. That aside, I'm all about the quirky films that don't sacrifice plot or character development just to be different. This movie is different, but not just to be different.. amazingly it all fits within the context of the film.

    If you watch the deleted scenes and alternate scenes on the DVD it can clear a bit up, personally I like the extra mystery so I can fill in my own blanks. It can leave you in just enough fog to let your imagination run where it likes.

    Also, I'd have to say Cowboy (Sean Bean) is probably my favorite character I've come across in any movie.

    The Big Empty follows a set up that is not new, the whole big town guy stranded in a small place surrounded by a range of bizarre folks. The element The Big Empty uses to differentiate itself is the alien factor but this just doesn't seem to fit in as an actual event rather than...( read more) deluded wishing. Great cast and Jon Favreau holds the main role well a much under appreciated actor.

    A brilliant mess. I love it and hate its ambition at the same time.
