Augusten Burroughs‘ NY Times breast sellin memoir of the same name muss be a purty darn great read, cause the movie that it inspired surely aint great viewing. Don’t really know what got lost in the translation, but it seems as if the filmmakers were too caught up in stylizng it to the nines to deliver anything of substance (for 1nce substance abuse woulda been a good thing!). In what shoulda been a harrowing and deeply emotional examination of Burroughs’ teen years (he basically was abandoned by his beyond narcissistic mother and forced to live with her beyond bananas shrink and his beyond the valley of the dolls family) is juss a bunch of cute movie fragments strewn together with a blaring ’70s soundtrack, which seems to have been cobbled together from the C-list leftovers that Cameron Crowe didn’t use for Almost Famous. The top notch cast (Benning, Baldwin, Paltrow, the OG Hannibal Lecter, that slut-in training from Thirteen, the faux ye olde Diane Keaton, fab Gab Union, and Joe Fiennes doin his bestest Scott Stapp doppelgänger thang complete with porn mustache) have little to do here but overact in groovy threads and hipper than thou sets. In a nutshell silverstein this one coulda been contender, but ended up playing like The Unroyal Tenenbaums. If I wanted to watch a 5th rate Wes Anderson movie I shoulda juss stayed home and suffered thru The Life Aquatic again. [SPOIL HER ALERT] If one scene could sum how liz-ame this flick churned out to be, it would be the final one, where the screen and real life Augusten share a smile

The Devil & Daniel Johnston [trailer] – Think Augusten Burroughs gotz issues? Underground manic-depressive music sensation Daniel Johnston has so many issues that the dude’s got a lifetime subscription. I’ve seen so many franztastic docs this year, and this one my fiends, is by jamie farr the breastest in show! Dare4 the biggest movie mistake I’ve made this year was NOT seeing this one in a theater. Luckily it made its way to the top of my Netflix queue as soon as it was dropped on DVD, and you should follow suit. The extras are extra hispecial, hispecially DJ’s reunion with his unrequited love Laurie

Lollilove [trailer] – Since I’m a sucker for The Office‘s Pam, I’m a sucker for anything Jenna Fischer, and that is what led me to this 3 dollar budgeted flick that she directed about doling out lollipops to the homeless with the help of her real life husband (boo!). As a feature it’s unwatchable, as JO material, it’s invaluable!

NOTE TO NYCers: there’s a sheet lode of movies cumin out this weekend, but only one to see, Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple [beyond Thighly recommended], and for those outside of Da City, czech for dates here, or juss wait til it airs on PBS’ American Experience in April of the ’07
