Wes copes with the tumultuousness of teenhood and the death of his father by taking drugs, listening to angry rap music and vandalizing grocery stores. He is soon arrested for burglary, but the judge at his trial (James Avery) sees promise in the bespectacled young man and sentences him to a year of sessions with offbeat psychiatrist Dr. Tenenbaum (Michael Caine). They butt heads at first, but the good doctor's fondness for wistful storytelling, '60s curio folk music and symmetrical furniture arrangement soon rubs off on Wes. But will his girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) drag him back into the downward spiral of street life?<BR/><BR/>Jeffrey Lyons calls Becoming Wes "unforgettable... an unflinching look at the life of the mind."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-11964711260926773802007-08-07T02:32:00.000-04:002007-08-07T02:32:00.000-04:00Becoming Nathaniel R., in which She Who Must Not B...<I>Becoming Nathaniel R.</I>, in which She Who Must Not Be Named and Beelzebub attempt to strangle baby Nat in his cradle, only to have their dastardly plans foiled by La Pfeiffer and The Bening, with the help of a phalanx of Hump Day Hotties.

He grabs a handful of food tentatively, and smears it all over the wall. The plate drops to the ground, the child climbs out of the chair, and forces the mushy meal into every crack in the floor. He covers his face with the food - fills one of his ears.<BR/><BR/>What has become of the room when his strict mother returns five minutes later can only be described as....<BR/><BR/>THE BIRTH OF AN ARTIST!<BR/><BR/>- The Desplat-loving, Luhrman-hating AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-55112294796728776822007-08-06T23:25:00.000-04:002007-08-06T23:25:00.000-04:00nick --i think you've created the new midnight mov...nick --i think you've created the new midnight movie sensation!NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32136176332369343382007-08-06T23:21:00.000-04:002007-08-06T23:21:00.000-04:00I would love to see Becoming David Cronenberg, whe...I would love to see <I>Becoming David Cronenberg</I>, wherein Mr. and Mrs. Cronenberg fuck like wild people on their back staircase after Mrs. C catches Mr. C putting a videotape into his stomach. David is conceived in the process, as is his twin brother; they come rolling out of two compartments of Mrs. C's three-chambered uterus, though a third sibling remains stuck to the outside of her body in a little amniotic sac, while she gets angrier and angrier. Sadly, David's twin brother is killed when he gets into a sexy auto-collision with a man-sized fly that has a little secret knife in its armpit. Somehow, despite losing his younger brother under such traumatic circumstances, David resists the powerful urge to become a legendary American singer; instead, he becomes a cross-dressing Chinese infiltrator of the Russian mafia, whose head explodes from time to time, but he still succeeds in popping out a film or two, mostly by having sex with his typewriter, and also with Judy <I>and</I> Geena Davis.<BR/><BR/>All of the roles in <I>Becoming David Cronenberg</I> are to be played by Miranda Richardson.NicksFlickPickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607501848596529493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-4461988691071247462007-08-06T23:01:00.000-04:002007-08-06T23:01:00.000-04:00Honestly...I would never see this if the McAvoy we...Honestly...I would never see this if the McAvoy weren't in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
