Gentlemen Broncos

A weird film that shares Napoleon Dynamite's fascination with rural America and the humorless oddballs that supposedly live there. I liked it in places, specifically the science fiction scenes with Sam Rockwell, who's one of my favorites. Mostly, it felt like a retread of the same uncomfortable humor from Napoleon Dynamite.

5/10 boules.

Gentlemen Brocos- Just the Sam Rockwell Bits- 10b/10b

The other bits- 3b/10b.

That's my opinion.  If you agree come over here and blow on this friendship rock with me.  Puwh, puwh, puwh.

LOL. The Rockwell scenes were awesome. I rewatched all of them yesterday, in fact. Not just for Sam's incredible ability to play serious and slapstick in the same breath, but also I love the cinematography and special effects in those scenes. Sam Rockwell playing a transsexual Edgar Winter-like "yeast lord" was pretty awesome too.

Whisper of the Heart

As a Hayao Miyazaki fan, I felt obliged to watch this, since he directed a few fantasy scenes in this otherwise trite teen romance. I guess I thought it would comprise more than 90 seconds of screentime. I didn't hate it. There were a few good moments, some nice animation. I especially love the way Studio Ghibli animates the countryside.

Four out of a possible seven judgment balls.
