An absolute waste of time and money, December 13, 1999
This review is from: Facade [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. It made no sense; it was not funny; the dialog was vulgar nonsense (not that I object to "adult language" when it is appropriate). Don't waste your time or money: too much has been wasted on this POS already.

Harrowing, Hysterical Emptiness, January 25, 2001
This review is from: Facade [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Recommending this film outright may cost moderate karma and so I must clear the air up front with a warning about emptiness. Everybody feels emptiness, and that includes directors, producers and writers. Emptiness is the motor of this film, it's raison d'etre; to enjoy it, one needs a comfortable relationship with emptiness--not just one's own, one also needs a willingness to indulge the emptiness of others.
If you're smart and post-hip, you'll love this movie, particularly if you live in or have resided in California. In one scene, the dialogue of the actors is drowned out by the drone of a passing jet engine. Marvelous, mind-warbling timing througout, and a cast of actors who all seem to be of the same nervous, half-starved c-list agency. One cannot dismiss the vision of their collective sketchy thinness and lusty smile.
It's Malibu exploitation in the tradition of "Valley of the Dolls"--and without a single bare breast, the movie exudes a wonderful, tight-underwear sexuality.
Rating, 5 of 5 if filing under Cult, Midnite of Wowie, or Hooterfudge.
