	The Movie Pundit Review: Desert Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		(Parker Posey obviously had more sense.) In "Desert Blue", a young actress named Skye (Kate Hudson, Hawn's daughter) and her father are driving through the California desert as part of a vacation when they stop in the tiny town of Baxter, in middle of nowhere.
		That lets "Desert Blue" try to fool the audience into thinking the film is one thing when it is really something else.
		"Desert Blue" seems to be about the boredom and hopelessness of small towns, but it's not exactly creative or special in its approach.

	Blue Desert (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blue Desert (1991) is a psychological thriller movie starring Courteney Cox and D.B. Sweeney.
		This movie features a scene that would lead many viewers to believe that Courteney Cox was naked.
		Cox has stated, however, that a body double was used in her place.

	Desert Blue
		Blue spends his days trying to resuscitate the dream that recently killed his father, an ocean park called "Baxter Beach." But the dream is dead, too, and its skeleton is plain to see in the form of a partially constructed waterslide and a dozen or so canoes that lie bleaching on the desert’s dry sands.
		Desert Blue is rich in unstressed details such as the guys whipping their ATVs across the desert flats like latter-day cowboys, or the paranoid Sandy poring over a giant EPA manual in a diner.
		There’s no reason for Blue’s mom to be a UFO nut (the fact that she is one is even sadder because Jenney is too interesting a performer to be saddled with such a gimmick), and the FBI agent who’s a closet drunk feels shoehorned in from some bad TV cop-show.

	Desert Blue/Mating Habits Of The Earthbound Human (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Desert Blue is the new film from Morgan J. Freeman (director of Hurricane Streets--not to be confused with his J-less counterpart who starred in Seven and Deep Impact).
		Brendan Sexton III (Welcome To The Dollhouse) is Blue, a young man whose father made their ultra-small town what it is today (not much) by building a huge ice cream cone in the middle of the desert.
		Blue and his friends basically fill their days by hanging out, drinking beer and playing Galaga (which seems to be broken because the enemies fly right through the player's ship--anyone who plays Galaga knows that this is way wrong).

	Desert Blue Movie Review
		"Desert Blue" is the new film from writer-director Morgan J. Freeman (not to be confused with the actor), whose previous film was the messy but convincing teenage crime drama "Hurricane Streets".
		Blue has never seen her TV show, but he is fascinated by her, since she is from the real world.
		An interesting aspect of "Desert Blue" is that the citizens don't feel that they're missing much, but when they are quarantined, they realize that they don't want to be trapped in town forever.

	Film Scouts Reviews: Desert Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It is a common theme in movies about identity, whether in Scotland's "Local Hero" or Antonioni's "Red Desert." It goes like this: the character(s) seems lost, a stranger in a strange land, and only upon discovering the mystical spirit of the strange land, does the hero(ine) take on an identity and bridge the alienation.
		"Desert Blue" follows this archetypal pattern in part, exploring as it does, the wasteland of a Nevada town called Baxter, poised between the turquoise skies and the turquoise treasure still trapped underground.
		The message of the movie is that this open desert with its peculiar kind of liberation lends you the status of "outsider with insight" into the superficial world of celebrity and politics.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Desert Blue" review (1999)
		Like a studio teenager movie, "Desert Blue" is a little silly, but in an off-the-wall way only an indie could get away with.
		The movie arrives in this virtually abandon mining town of dirt roads and sagebrush horizons on the heels of Skye (Kate Hudson), a Hollywood starlet with her own TV show.
		But "Desert Blue" is smarter than to go overboard with pampered Skye fretting missed auditions and the lack of cell phone coverage.

	(DVD Review) Desert Blue
		When a young cable TV starlet Skye (Kate Hudson) and her father get "stuck" in a small town in the desert, Skye is not very at all happy to be there at first.
		If you are looking for a fun teenage movie of the 90's, ala The Breakfast Club, with just a tad of the surreal, then pour yourself a glass of empire cola and look no further than the desert, the Desert Blue.

	Desert Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As the townsfolk wait to learn whether the spill was toxic, the local youths, joined by a stranded teen TV star (Kate Hudson), ponder their fates between funneling beers and chugging whiskey.
		Blue (Brendan Sexton III) dreams of completing his deceased father's desert water park; Ely (Christina Ricci), an explosives freak, fantasizes about blowing herself up in front of her parents.
		The story plays out slowly, echoing the pace of life in the town, and in a desert of teen flicks that achieve fulfillment through material gratification, social status, or triumphing over a psycho, it's refreshing to find one with intelligence and maturity.

	Desert Blue Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		It's an enormous sculpture of the World's Biggest Ice Cream Cone — "The dessert in the middle of the desert" — that draws a cultural anthropology professor (John Heard) and his TV sitcom star daughter, Skye (Hudson), to sparsely populated burg Baxter, California.
		One of the things that makes writer-director Morgan J. Freeman's sophomore effort, Desert Blue — now out on DVD — so refreshing is that he ignores those teen dream cliches, offering, instead, a sweetly offbeat adolescent romance, full of warmth and humor.
		Baxter, California is a pit stop in the middle of nowhere that's only claims to fame are two roadside attractions — a giant sculpture of an ice cream cone and an unfinished "beach," a water park in the desert — that draw a cultural anthropology professor (John Heard) to town.

	Review: Desert Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		She and Blue develop a quiet bond, and, predictably, by the end of the film, Skye has shown her true, insecure self.
		Desert Blue wants to be part satire (launching barbed attacks at the cola industry and the government), part romance (the relationship between Blue and Skye), and part light drama.
		Consider that three of Desert Blues' stars (Hudson, Ricci, Affleck) were also involved in 200 Cigarettes.

	MOVIE REVIEW: Desert Blue -- At least it’s air-conditioned (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Not that every movie is based in a small, quirky town home to The World’s Largest Ice Cream Cone; it’s that Desert Blue, like many other recent films, is based on the germ of a great idea, but by the end it fails to come to fruition.
		The premise of the story is that a teenage cable actress and her father, a professor of cultural history, travel to the fictitious town of Baxter, CA (pop.

		"Desert Blue" is Freeman's second film and represents his attempt to reach the opposite end of the spectrum.
		"Desert Blue" is somewhat a comedy, somewhat a drama, and somewhat a commercial for poor actors.
		"Desert Blue" could have worked better if Freeman would have lit a fire under the plot.

	Blue Desert (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It's hard to have any sympathy for the Cortney Cox character, Lisa, because every time she is given an opportunity to avoid a threat, she decides to remain.
		If being an empowered woman means staying in a mobile home in the desert in a town of strangers and continually letting strange men into your home even when you know they are dangerous and never asking your neighbors for help, then the life span of such a woman is going to be very short.
		It was amazing to see Lisa working calmly at her drawing board, pencilling, inking and lettering a complete comic while spending her days and nights being nearly raped, chased across the desert in her Chevette by a police cruiser and sticking a 5 inch knife in a police officer's thigh.

		Desert Blue, starring Casey Affleck, Brenden Sexton III, Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, Sara Gilbert, and John Heard, R. Morgan J. Freeman wrote and directed this movie.
		Christina Ricci lit up the screen - and the desert - with her pyromania; Casey Affleck played her boyfriend quite fittingly for her.
		I love Kate Hudson, but she was fairly boring in this movie; I am in love with Sara Gilbert instead.

		Review: "Desert Blue" is one of those movies in which the lack of anything interesting happening is presented as a badge of Gen-Y integrity and coolness.
		Blue (Brendan Sexton III) is the leader of the small-town blahs, a moody guy who hangs out with chubby pal Cale (Ethan Suplee); Pete (Casey Affleck), who spends his free time preparing for all-terrain-vehicle races; and Pete's girlfriend, Ely (Christina Ricci), a raccoon-eyed malcontent whose expertise in explosives results in unexpected detonations all around Baxter.
		There's also a sandy gulch, designed by Blue's now-deceased father, who had hoped to somehow fill it with water and turn Baxter into a lake resort.

		Plot is as stale as the breeze in 'Desert Blue'
		Baxter Beach boasts a population of 89 and is in a wasteland in central California.
		That dramatic impetus -- a celebrity in town -- is contrived, and the result is a movie that sparks to life about as often as a breeze blows through this hot, still desert town.

		After making an enemy of a local deadbeat, Lisa is reassured when a lawman takes her under his wing, but soon she begins to suspect that his protection is something she could well do without.
		This is a dark brooding movie, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing till almost the end, and though the final outcome is ultimately a little hackneyed, the overall tone and good acting make it worth the ride.
		The use of pieces of comic superhero strips as a parallel story, featuring Lisa's veangeful alter ego are are interesting variant on the usual pattern of this kind of thriller, and a refreshing lack of directorial cliches helps elevate this to an above average example of the genre.

		The cone was built by the late father of Blue (Brendan Sexton III).
		They're gentle with one another, as if they deserve a certain pity just because they live here, and "Desert Blue," in its sweet, unaffected way, succeeds in making a convincing film about eccentrics without their performances obstructing the view.
		The movie was written and directed by Morgan J. Freeman (not the actor), whose "Hurricane Streets" (1997) was a Sundance winner about teenagers who are petty thieves on the Lower East Side of New York.

		Blue, already laboring under the curse of being a teen in a rinky-dink town, is also pursuing his late father's impossible dream, a water park called Ocean Park.
		That's right: A water park in the middle of the desert, fed by the aqueducts that channel water to L.A. Alas, geoeconomics have condemned Baxter to barren obscurity, which is where this movie will doubtless end up.
		It's clearly meant to be a charmingly daffy but perceptive romantic comedy about kids bored out of their gourds, but it all too often falls flat.

		It's also a disembodied reminder that "Desert Blue" isn't just the name of Morgan J. Freeman's somnambulant cemetery of a movie, it's a state of mind.
		But "Desert Blue" is more a study of what happens in a post-apocalyptic "indie" land after a group of firecracker actors is given carte blanche to be gruesome mannequins of self-parody.
		And the usually hotheaded Brendan Sexton III discovers a before-unseen grace in his scenes with Kate Hudson (the reluctant mint in this get-fresh-soon crew), but this is the one movie that could've used him to start a real fire.
