Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Samuel John I get exactly why this "movie" is probably not up most people's alley but it really is a fantastic piece of meta-cinema. It breaks just about every movie convention. I've never seen anything quite like this and I've seen a lot of movies. Warped and twisted, check out Charlie Kaufman's work or the equally bizarre and more recent tired meta serial killer flick Rubber. Thing is though, these meta movies have very little in common with with this gem.I loved all the cutaways, music and monologues. I loved that he threatens the audience with a shotgun and says he hates us. I love that he wrote a part of himself as the writer of the script as a fictional character into the script. I love that he experiences death neurosis. The philosophical aspects of meeting a god who could kill himself and end your existence too are quite emotional. This explores how a fictional being becoming self aware of his plight of being constrained in a movie of "shoddy" craftsmanship, which the writer pointed out throughout the movie, by an incompetent, nilpotent "god" and the emotional devastation that it wreaks.This is seriously a fantastic movie on so many levels and should be taken more seriously than it is. But its f***ing hilarious, too!Philosophical, funny, absurd.

summers-396-734419 From the very beginning of the movie, it's clear that the intentions of the film are to make you think. Not always politically correct and loaded with both verbal and visual social and political commentary, This Is Not A Movie avoids being too heavy with the use of satirical shorts and awesome music well-placed throughout. Nonetheless, it can seem a little preachy if you're at a point in the film where you're not exactly sure what's going on, or if you happen to disagree with the film's message.As an actor, Edward Furlong was a pleasant surprise. It's a role that seemed to click with him, and he's convincing as an angst-y, anti-social and possibly mentally unstable main character who is struggling to resolve all his inner conflicts. Without giving away too much, I'll say the others could've used a little work, though.Overall, this is one of my favorites. The cinematography is very clean and focused for an indie film, despite the plot not always seeming the same--which I don't mind. The content can get a little dark and there's also plenty of fourth-wall breaking and poking fun at the movie itself. And most of the film takes place in one location with a very small handful of characters. If these are an issue for you, you probably won't like this film.Otherwise, it's worth one, two, or several watches.

John Armstrong (taurusdude999) I'm not sure I understand this movie, nor do I think I'll ever. Obviously, this movie grasps with deep philosophical stuff we don't normally deal with typical American movies.This movie really revolves around one man and his attempts to understand himself before the apocalypse... along the way he deals with appearances from his personalities, and he, they, and a ghost, debate about the meanings of life from his Las Vegas hotel room, as... the apocalypse looms in 47 hours and some minutes.I like Slash's soundtrack... that alone is worth bumping my vote up another point...The heavy stuff is broken up with promos for hypothetical parody films that make it worthwhile.
