Treasure Island (I) (1999)
7/10
For those who enjoy confusion
3 February 2000
I have no idea how to describe this movie, and also would love to provide others the same opportunity I had - seeing it with no prior knowledge of what to expect. I enjoyed it immensely but can also say I barely understood what was going on, if in fact there was anything to understand in the first place. Fans of David Lynch (tangentially) or especially Guy Maddin films should particularly enjoy this, and any fans of the comic book EIGHTBALL will probably be beside themselves with joy and wonder (it came as close as any film I've seen to the tone and mood Dan Clowes creates so effectively).

One slight note just to warn anyone easily offended - this movie, if rated, would be NC-17 for sure. Fans of male full-frontal nudity, however...hmm, well...yes. This is weird wild stuff.

Rushmore (1998)
9/10
Brilliant
6 October 1998
A fresh and invigorating movie, unlike anything out there. Jason Schwartzman is genius, but all acting, photography, editing, and music work together to form a complete world, and it's sure a fun, goofy and unpredictable one. Probably even funnier than BOTTLE ROCKET, and that's saying a lot.
