Red State

Always amazed to see the variety of reviews. How one can watch this and compare it to a Scooby Doo movie or call it a Bollywood knock-off, and others view is a critically acclaimed. Ahhh, the eye of the beholder.

Anyway, I enjoyed it for Kevin Smith's screen writing and the performances of Parks, Leo, Goodman, and Bishe. Parks' gospel singing was a plus.

It's not horror; it's not Tarantino. It's Kevin Smith. He's great at writing irony and duality in specific circumstances. There isn't character development, just characters that express themselves. I care about them because of what they have said, not what was said about them.

And how can you not love the Goodman soliloquy about the bloodhounds.

Just watch it. Like Smith says in his "Making of ..." video, what may seem like a bad movie for $20 in a theater cane be a favorite movie when you see it in five hours at home.
