	DVD Review - Paradise Lost 2: Revelations
		The two "Paradise Lost" films were produced and directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, who continue to prove themselves to be among the best documentary filmmakers working today.

		The film focuses on the case and more specifically, the trial, in which all three are found guilty.

	Film Review - Another Day in Paradise
		Based on the novel by ex-convict Eddie Little, Another Day in Paradise feels unpleasantly manipulative and contrived.
		Directed and co-produced by Larry Clark, this is the kind of film that has pretensions to something more than a stylish tale of self-deluded, manic drug users and petty criminals on the steep slope to nowhere.
		Early in the film, they invoke the myth of Bonnie and Clyde, and certain events parallel Arthur Penn's much more accomplished film of criminal losers.

	Another Day In Paradise
		Paradise Lost: Woods and Griffith in the tired Another Day in Paradise.
		The two central kids in Another Day are victims of incompetent and ill-intentioned adults, but they exhibit an admirable resilience, at least for a few minutes.
		Whether the filmmaker himself is into them or not is irrelevant (and he's made varying comments on the subject in the past, beginning when he was photographing them and continuing through the release of his previous film, the controversial Kids).

	Salon Entertainment Another day in Hollywood
		t a critical moment in "Another Day in Paradise," Melanie Griffith, who plays an aging junkie named Sid, turns to her partner, Mel (James Woods), and says, "I'm a junkie and a thief; I'm no role model." The words could've come straight from the life of the film's director, Larry Clark.
		The actors [in "Paradise"] had worked with a lot of directors and they were used to doing things a certain way, and I didn't know about these ways.
		His vision of young sexuality was both violent and prurient, the stuff of pure controversy in the politically correct heyday of 1995, when it was released.

	On Screen and In a New City, Austin Embraces The Pierson Family
		These days, aside from traveling to a few film festivals to talk about Steve James' Miramax doc about their time in Fiji, "Reel Paradise," the Pierson's have become key figures within the Austin film scene.
		Days later she was nominated to the board of Linklater's Austin Film Society.
		And at the film's first showing on the opening Saturday of SXSW, seated in what Pierson said that the fest's first ever "murderers row" of acquisitions executives were on hand at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin for the film's screening.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Scary Movie
		His sophomore effort was the strangely neglected Another Day in Paradise (1998), starring James Woods and Melanie Griffith as junkie grifters mentoring two younger versions of themselves on the lam.
		Bully combines the adolescent angst of Kids with the crime-thriller elements of Another Day in Paradise.
		In addition to the groundswell of controversy over the film's inability to get an R rating (Bully is being released unrated), there have been questions raised over the validity of the story as presented by Schutze.

	Cradlle of Filth - Damnation for a Day
		“Damnation and a Day” is a concept album, telling the tale of a fallen angel who is rejected from paradise and who subsequently corrupts man to have him cast out as well.
		In my opinion, COF has truly mastered the art of blending the brutal evil of deathly thrash with the sheer animosity of poetic narration – an art they freely display on “Damnation and a day”.
		This album features the 40-piece Budapest film orchestra and the 32-piece Budapest film choir – not very surprising if one considers the geographic location of the Carpathian mountain range.

		In 2002, growing tired of the film industry, Pierson returned to Taveuni for a year to show free movies to the natives.
		Neither portrayal captures the struggling reality of living with a problem from day-to-day, or the authenticity of a human being who, in the midst of addiction or recovery, is trying to balance other real-life concerns such as a family, job, or children.
		Drug addiction is one of the more challenging subjects to represent on film, usually falling into the trap of being sentimentalized redemption or a miserable junkie hell.

	Director Gus Van Sant imagines Cobain's demise
		The director says his interpretation of the days leading up to Cobain's death at his Seattle home came from his imagination, which is why the film isn't a biopic of the musician and why its fictional protagonist is named Blake.
		We go through a day and when we check in with our friends, you hear, "Oh, I was actually there at the same time." So you retrace your day and piece it together from different points of view around the dinner table.
		Then I decided that it would be just these last couple days that were missing, where nobody knew what had happened to him, that it wouldn't literally be about him, it would be a poetic piece.

	The Long Day Closes Film Review - Time Out Film
		Such is Davies' artistry that he shapes his material (an impressionistic series of brief, plotless scenes recalled from 1955-6, when he was about to leave junior school) into a poignant vision of a paradise lost.
		Like Distant Voices, Still Lives, Davies' final autobiographical film rings wholly true, due to the richness and the rightness of the allusions he makes through sets, costumes, dialogue, music, radio and cinema itself.

	hares and hounds
		The Plague Dogs is a little too uncomfortably real, because Richard Adams didn't put anything in his book that hadn't actually been perpetrated on lab animals, and it continues to this day.
		The rabbits were escaping from one place towards the paradise in Fiver's visions; the dogs are just escaping, and the only paradise in Snitter's visions is the one in his past, the one he can never have again.
		To prevent any citizens from being heroes and catching the dogs themselves -- or from taking pity on the mutts and sheltering them, for that matter -- the government feeds the British papers the official lie that the dogs may be carrying fleas infected with bubonic plague.

	Film247.net - Bully, film review, movie reviews,
		Originally a book by Jim Schutze, writer of colourful non-fiction murder stories, the film was produced by Don Murphy of Natural Born Killers and Chris Hanley of Virgin Suicides and American Psycho and directed by Larry Clark of Kids and Another Day in Paradise.
		When you know who brought us this film it doesn't take a genius to know you're not going to leave this screening with a spring in your step and a song in your throat.
		Audiences are compelled to keep watching not by sympathetic characters but the morbid curiosity of an accident waiting to happen to some very stupid and messed up (but attractive) people.

	village voice > film > Topsy-Turvy; Magnolia by J. Hoberman
		A manic meditation on karmic craziness, Magnolia's elaborately fast, cheap, and out of control setup restages a 1911 snuff film, plants a scuba diver in a treetop, and diagrams the way in which a failed suicide becomes accidental manslaughter as a prelude to plunging into the maelstrom of present-day Los Angeles.
		Magnolia's geo-narrative structure engages Robert Altman's Short Cuts, but its time-bending montage is crazy enough to evoke Intolerance.
		Anderson's third feature is a mosaic of dark cross-purposes in which just about each scene plays like The Big One and every well-honed speech is designed to rhyme with something else in the movie.

		Filmed on location in a variety of New York City neighborhoods, including Chinatown, the Lower East Side, and the Bowery, this early Fox feature recreates the “General Slocum” disaster, a 1904 tragedy in which over one thousand people lost their lives while taking a day trip on the East River.
		Malle brings a European sensibility to this bittersweet film about the famous resort on the New Jersey coast as it is transformed from a seedy convention center into a gambler’s paradise.
		Infused with the direct style of a documentarian and the sensitivity of an artist, this film is a joyful portrait of the birth of Brakhage’s first child.

	Fantasia International Film Festival 2004
		Director Moon-saeng Kim's film combines traditional animation, CGI, stop-motion and some composited live footage to tell a story of a post—eco-disaster Earth where the ruling class live in the high-tech and slightly antiseptic paradise ECOBAN, whose energy is supplied by converted pollution.
		Set in the present day, his films could be shot in live-action, and they would work 90% of the time—but the loss to the remaining 10% would be incalculable.
		Fantasia has always had a strong animation component, and this year did not disappoint.

		Be it his seminal smash “Kids,” the mildly entertaining “Another Day In Paradise” or his new venture into the world of youth, sex, money, and intrigue, Larry Clark is known for some of the most beautifully disturbing images to grace the silver screen.
		He proves no different in his new film “Bully,” based on the murder of a young suburbanite in Florida.
		I saw admired much of KIDS but ultimately didn't like the film - it seemed intent on rubbing your nose in the despair of it all - like Requiem for a Dream.

	Bully (2001)
		This is the third theatrical film release from director Larry Clark (Kids, Another Day In Paradise).
		As presented in the film, although the actual act is not spontaneous, they don't really plan the killing and don't give the likely consequences a thought until after Bobby is dead.
		Frankly, although Bobby earns the epitaph "bully," his behavior seems to have been accepted by those he inflicted it upon, and the film suggested to me that they encouraged or enjoyed the abuse.
