Southland Tales
Southland Tales is the best Philip K. Dick movie this year, made only more accurate an adaptation by not actually being from any Philip K. Dick novel. It's more a pastiche of his work, and a film that revels in the same themes (and features two outright references). It's also just as messy and stoner-wise, and just as pulp as PKD's work, with the same taste in names, and a few bits of laughably bad dialogue that they pound through, thematically. One should probably expect all this of writer-director Richard Kelly, who previously wrote-directed Donnie Darko.
It's beautifully flawed, and you should probably go see it if you care, since it'll be completely gone from theaters in a couple of weeks. See also Victoria Large's review at notcoming.
