tomchaud Now that i know James Dean Willie i can't imagine seeing this movies without seeing James Dean in action :))) well what can i say James Dean and Lindsay Lohan great combo :)))) Rest is tippically rich people hollywood lifestyle

brchthethird This is a pretentious piece of crap, with a nary a good performance to be found. The story is repugnant and boring, and all of the characters are soulless, vacuous and empty. Granted, I'd heard about how bad this movie was before I even saw it, but I still expected a little more from Paul Schrader and Bret Easton Ellis. The story is about some trust-fund kid (James Deen) who's also producing a movie so that his (unseen) dad will get off of his back. His live-in girlfriend is played by Lindsay Lohan, and the small cast is rounded out with other characters who know each other, and sleep or have slept with one another. Still, most of the movie is just boring, lifeless dialogue interspersed with some of the most unerotic sex I've ever seen, which includes a foursome. I mean, what were these people thinking? The only redeeming qualities are some good soundtrack selections and good camera-work. That's it. It's best just to take most people's word and just skip this trash.

FlashCallahan There's not even any reason to give a synopsis to this dog of a film, its a comeback movie for Lindsay Lohan, and to prove she's serious, she gets naked and does lots of things you would have never expected her to do in Mean Girls....The fact of the matter is, she didn't need a comeback, she hadn't done anything of really any relevance since the aforementioned film, and then that film didn't sell because of her, it sold because of the fabulous writing and the nasty streak it had.This is just nasty, and has some streaks, but hey are just from the fake tan.But wow, this is from the guy who wrote the excellent American Psycho, and Less Than Zero. Even The Informers was a half decent look into the excesses of the rich.And it's directed by the guy who wrote Taxi Driver. Another wow.....So again, this is all about the excess of the rich, and how they can influence the lesser people with their money, lifestyle, and bedroom disco lights.But to be fair, any film that has some called Funk in the film, and James Deen, has to be going somewhere.That's right straight in the bargain bin.Worthless filth.

bowmanblue The Canyons is not a good film. However, I stuck with it all the way through. I could have turned it off, but I didn't. And, even though I knew it could have been better, I didn't entirely regret the experience. Because, somewhere buried deep within the screenplay, is actually quite a good little film.It's written by (American Psycho-famed) Brett Eastern Ellis, who specialises in showing us shallow, rich, decadent characters. Therefore, don't expect to particularly identify or relate to any of the leads. It's about a rich young man who has links to the film industry. He starts to suspect that his girlfriend is having an affair and sets about destroying his potential rival.Its plot is nothing special, but, there must have been a way of getting a little more intrigue out of it. However, all you have is beautiful people, wandering in and out of equally beautiful (or actually quite sleazy) locations, having conversations and then moving on to the next.Yes, despite being pretty short on action, it definitely had a 'vibe' to it. It was certainly raw, as if it was filmed on video without much thought going into the shots' framing or lighting. If you've seen David Lynch's Mullholland Drive, then you'll know the kind of haunting atmosphere which was created here (only minus the supernatural element). That's the main reason I stuck with it. The film was genuinely creepy, showing us much of the seedy underbelly of L.A.It's a hard film to watch, especially during the first two halves, as little excitement is contained within. If you're looking forward to the sex scenes, they've been somewhat exaggerated and you can probably find better on Youtube! You need to be in the right frame of mind to watch quite a slow movie with no real redeemable characters if you want to get something out of this film.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
