	Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1996
		He has since referred to the film as a kind of ssitkkim-gut, a shamanist ritual meant to relieve a burdened soul (this is the same ritual Jang depicts at the start of his 1995 documentary on the history of Korean cinema, Cinema on the Road).
		Jang's disturbing use of rape to develop the film's themes has opened it up to attack from certain critics, although it should be said in Jang's defense that its role in the film is far more complex than the standard raped-woman-as-symbol-of-ravaged-nation allegory that so many films fall back on.
		In the later films, although each main character traveled in a trajectory of poor choices, I always felt that there were positive trajectories available to them that could help them stray from their unhealthy patterns if they would only simply choose these alternate routes.

		As the film lets the audience get to know the group we find that there really is something wrong in Burkittsville and that this group could be cursed by it.
		The actual film, "The Blair Witch Project" was a fluke at the box office and showed that a small independent film could enchant the masses with a couple shaky handheld cameras.

	DVD Times - Fluke
		Fluke belongs to that tiny genre of nineties movies that attempted to transform the heartless Yuppie of the 1980s into the new caring, sharing, sensitive New Man of the end of the millennium.
		Yet whilst the film is overtly serious in its efforts to provide moral lessons for both its child and adult audiences, Carlei allows many of the actors to get away with the most two-dimensional of characterisations.
		In Fluke’s favour, it must be said that the direction is proficient enough to allow these contrivances to fall into place and flit from one to the other seamlessly.

		And the film begins as if it thinks it's "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," with stars in the heavens, then lights flashing in the woods, which are revealed to be headlights as two cars race through a wooded area Matthew Modine pursuing Eric Stoltz.
		The film is beautifully photographed by Raffaele Mertes (taking full advantage of generic locations in Georgia) and there is a notably stirring score by Carlo Silioto.
		"Fluke" is rated PG for violence (including an auto accident, some gunplay and a couple of dog attacks) and a few mildly vulgar gags.

		As Fluke, the golden retriever Comet (whose fur was dyed murky brown to look like a mutt) is a scene stealer who looks enough like Modine to pull off the film's premise.
		Less lighthearted than one would expect from a film that stars a dog, "Fluke" works on the "aw, how cute" level but fails when it waxes poetic about the way humans don't realize their failures until they experience the animal's point of view.
		A scene where Fluke, as a puppy, urinates on a guard and then runs between the legs of another to escape an animal shelter is predictable but fun.

	Fluke: Progressive History X - PopMatters Music Review
		The founders of dance-pop group Fluke say they were sharing an apartment when they discovered they could make pretty cool sounds that people would dance to, so they started recording songs in their very own living room.
		Fluke weren't sitting in first class with any of these dancefloor juggernauts, but they were definitely on the same plane.
		Such lightheartedness is Fluke's unflagging consistency: over its ten-year history, regardless of stylistic shifts and despite what the group may have us believe, Fluke have not lost their optimism and humor.

		After she dies, Fluke is befriended by the worldwise dog Rumbo who shows him how to survive on the streets.
		But then Fluke begins to have flashbacks and thinks that this means that he may have been a human in a previous life, although the idea is dismissed by Rumbo.
		The opening scenes with Fluke being born, the capture of he and his family by the dog pound, the escape from the pound, all shot down at floor level, are conducted completely wordlessly and do a wonderful job in showing things from a dog’s point-of-view.

	Hardware Wars DVD Reviews
		With characters such as Fluke Starbucker (who is even more of a dork than the original) and Princess Anne-Droid (complete with bread rolls for hair) and the androids resembling the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz and a vacuum cleaner, it always makes you laugh.
		The dialogue track is still out of sync, as it was obviously recorded separately to the film, but the effects are very nicely done in surround with lots of rear and positioned effects coming from the speakers and plenty of panning across the soundstage as well.
		Other features on this DVD include producer comments at the Cannes Film Festival--something all film majors in college or film fans in general are sure to find most entertaining—also a director's cut of the Film, and a rare look at a pirated foreign version from 1979.

	``FLUKE'' MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING AN AUDIENCE
		``Fluke'' wants to be a family flick but comes off as too heavy for children and too wacky for adults.
		Spotting that Eric Stoltz, his former business partner, is romancing his former wife, Fluke goes for the jugular - or at least the calf - becoming the Charles Bronson of the canine set.
		There are some interesting twists at the film's conclusion, but by then, the heaviness and quirkiness of it all may have diluted most of the fun.

		The film was made in 1962, two months after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and was made up of on-the-street interviews with New Yorkers, asking them if they planned to change their plans to vacation in Miami after the problems with Cuba.

		What makes this such an ugly film, is that the only thing that attracts the stud to the girls he chases after is the color of her skin.
		The film reduces everyone to what their color of skin is, as it fails to get at truths that are more than skin-deep.
		This is film that fell in love with its generalizations and can't go further than that, even failing to draw comic relief from its characterizations.

	Box office proves documentary popularity is no fluke
		Beyond the film's irresistible dancing sequences, Agrelo looks at a colorful cross-section of New York youth, from the privileged children of Tribeca to their scrappy counterparts in the immigrant-laden Washington Heights and working-class Brooklyn.
		A popular favorite at January's Sundance Film Festival, Dana Adam Shapiro and Henry Alex Rubin's "Murderball" rode a wave of positive media coverage to a curiously muted box office performance.
		Perhaps audiences were wary that the film's subjects -- macho quadriplegics who participate in the brutal sport of quad rugby -- would unleash the oceans of bathos that usually accompany movies about physically challenged individuals.

		When the man dies, a mutt is born -- the first of a few flukes in the fantastical story.
		Fluke, when he grows up, is played by famous TV canine Comet, the family pooch in the series ``Full House.'' This dog can act, and genuinely steals the show (with help from Modine's expressing Fluke's innermost thoughts).
		Fluke grows up suffering mutt indignities -- he's imprisoned in a pound, breaks free and joins the ranks of the homeless, befriending an old woman who soon dies.

	Hardware Wars Special Edition Extra
		Sure, there are Fluke Starbucker, who drives a dune buggy, not a landspeeder, Ham Salad, the tough rogue who pilots an iron instead of a real starship, and Princess Anne-Droid, who sports round loaves of bread in place of her side hair braids.
		As conceived by Ernie Fosselius (he wrote, directed, and designed the film, plus he plays a cameo role) and produced by Fosselius and Michael Wiese, HARDWARE WARS: Special Edition is approximately 14 minutes of carefree entertainment that is a must for fans of the STAR WARS universe; those with a sense of humor, of course.
		This film is a 15 minute masterpiece, and is easily the best comedy ever made to be under 30 minutes- it could be just the best short film-period.

	Fluke: Puppy - PopMatters Music Review
		Fluke emerged during the British acid house boom of the early 1990s and have been unfairly lumped in with the "electronica" scene ever since, a scene that they were never really part of.
		Nonetheless, they had success in the British charts; and, ironically, it was the American hype surrounding electronica that led to a contract with Astralwerks and their biggest seller in 1997's Risotto.
		When it became very clear that electronica was not the Next Big Thing, Fluke were relegated to cult status, with a cache of loyal fans holding out for a follow-up.

	Minority Report: More Filmmakers of Color, But Is It Just a Fluke?
		With 25 percent of the films (Premiere, Special Screenings, American Spectrum, and Documentary sections) at the festival directed by filmmakers of color, it makes one wonder if the trend is a fluke or if there are now more opportunities for minority filmmakers.
		While the number of Latino and Asian projects at the Festival has continually increased over the years, the most notable increase is the amount of films from African American directors.
		Another film premiering at the festival is Mario Van Peebles' "Baadasssss!," which takes a look at the making of his father Melvin Van Peebles' "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song," a groundbreaking film for both independent and African American cinema.
