Boxer Santaros’ (Dwayne Johnson) mixture of anxiety and innocence is amusing, and I love the character of Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Occasionally I’m still laughing out loud almost relieved that I’m able to find some connection and relatable humour within the film. Half way through Southland Tales (which by the way is quite Lynchian, although it almost seems to want to out-Lynch David Lynch to the point where if Richard Kelly continues down this path you might have to describe Lynch’s movies as being quite Kellyian), and I’m shifting and fidgeting, still undecided as to whether I loath or like the film. It makes his previous film, Donnie Darko (which I loved), seem completely linear and normal by comparison. Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales has got to be one of the strangest movies I’ve seen in a long time. Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic then they originally predicted. The rotation of the earth is slowing down at a rate of point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero six miles per hour each day disrupting the chemical equilibrium in the human brain causing very irrational criminal behavior. My character… he realizes that the apocalyptic crime rate is because of global deceleration.
