  Head (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Head is a motion picture released in 1968, starring TV rock group The Monkees (in credit order: Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith), and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Head is essentially plotless, a seemingly stream of consciousness stringing-together of musical numbers, satire of various movie genres, elements of psychedelia, and references to topical issues such as the Vietnam War.
The movie was also delayed in its release (oweing partly to the use of solarization, a then-new technique both labourious and expensive), and badly under-promoted.

For that reason, "Adaptation" is best explained as a "head" movie, a loose category to be sure, but one as old as cinema itself (and not to be confused with the psychedelic, drug-accommodating "head" films of the '60s).
Head movies have flourished sporadically, mostly at the art-film end of the spectrum.
Head films are as necessary as our actual dreams, and work in much the same way — they employ symbols and their patterns are only apparent upon reflection.

 Salon Movie Review | "Head On"
"Head On," which has begun to pop up in U.S. art houses, was a box-office hit in Australia -- something of a surprise given its modest budget and trippy style.
Sean's projected too far into the future -- it's hard to learn much in a day, and Ari is a slow learner in any case -- but in their interactions lies the nucleus of his transformation.
Its missteps and excesses aside, "Head On" is a promising feature film debut for Kokkinos, who previously directed the hour-long drama "Only the Brave," about a Greek-Australian lesbian teen's coming out.

It's hard to tell at times, because Head literally has no plot; it is instead a patchwork of loopy sight gags, instant parodies, "camp" cutups, musical numbers and wry inside jokes.
Since viewers also see that infamous clip of a Vietnamese police chief shooting his prisoner in the head, it might be fair to assume that the film has a deep,eaning but most prefer the songs and laughs.
Head did zero business when it first came out thanks to poor distribution, but it has since become a fixture of midnight-movie showings and campus cinema classes.

Head On records roughly twenty four hours in the life of Ari, a nineteen-year old homosexually-inclined Australian living with his claustrophobically traditional Greek family in Melbourne.
The greatness of Head On lies in the fact that the film is completely without apologies for itself or for Ari; he is not a victim but a kinetic hero, and Kokkinos shrewdly bypasses all forms of social welfare propaganda and other kinds of theoretical excuses to frame and thus buffer her protagonist.
Head On is so assured of itself that it probably would have worked just as perfectly without the homosexual element.

For Amanda Pierce (Monica Potter), it seemed even more impossible due to the fact her life seemed to be dictated by a horrible streak of falling for the wrong guy.
Just as quickly though she discovers he may be a cold-blooded killer, but as her new found friends search for clues, she finds herself falling madly in love.
The entertaining story and wonderful performances get full marks, but the movie falls a bit short in the writing department as the movie continuously fights within itself to be believable, while all the while plagued by a vein of stupid goofiness.

The movie is a wild-goose-chase for Beavis and Butthead, and they stay oblivious as much as on their MTV show.
Movie culture is openly lambasted, starting with King Kong, and taking in an opening title sequence (theme song by Isaac Hayes, a year before South Park) that parodies both Shaft and Charlie's Angels.
You must see this movie if you are a fan of Beavis and Butt-head or if you just like to laugh a lot.

 Movie Review: Head Over Heels
At times, the movie's mockery of Amanda's roommates - four stereotypical models - and disgusting bathroom scenes are comical, but overall it needs more plot.

If movies were solely about the cheap pleasure of watching gorgeous people make grand gestures in epic circumstances--because, sure, sometimes movies are--director/screenwriter John Duigan's goopy, obvious, overwrought contemplation of how global unrest really messes with your love life would be Oscar-worthy.
But "Head in the Clouds" seems much longer than it is, probably because it is full of extraneous scenes that make it longer than it needed to be and weaken the relationship between Guy and Gilda that is the story's impetus.
If you're looking for a movie that can be described as both a chick-flick as well as a war movie, this one just might be for you.

 HEAD (Columbia, 1968)
The “Circle Sky” concert sequence in the movie HEAD marks the second onscreen appearance of The Monkees performing live, following the January 21, 1967 set at The Coliseum in Phoenix, AZ, which was filmed for Episode No. 32 of The Monkees, “The Monkees On Tour”.

In addition to co-writing and co-producing the movie HEAD with its director Bob Rafelson, Jack Nicholson also coordinated its adjoining soundtrack album, which boasted a surrealist mixture of song and dialogue with snippets of the movie dialogue between songs, and is so credited on the album cover.

An angry commentary on American politics and the current state of the Republican Party today is made quite clear in "Head of State".
Chris Rock stars as a relatively normal man who is having a string of bad luck in one of the roughest areas of Washington, D.C. A heroic rescue of one of his elderly friends leads to Rock getting in the spotlight.
Overall I do respect Rock's views and I do think he made a movie that pushes the envelope on some issues in the U.S. today, but in the end "Head of State" is just another potentially good production that never does rise to expectations.

 Movie Review - Head-On - eFilmCritic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
So far, "Head-On," by German filmmaker Fatih Akin, sounds like a blithe romantic comedy, wherein living together leads the two fake-marrieds to eventually fall in love for real.
It is dour and gritty, brimming with harsh language, harsh sex and a moment or two of harsh violence for good measure.
A weepy romance is one thing, but "Head-On" is too sober to be weepy, not romantic enough to achieve any real emotional connection.

 Fright Site,The Head Movie Review
THE HEAD isn’t in the same league as those classics, but remains an entertaining curiosity that makes for a good companion piece to the similarly themed (though far less artful) American production THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE, which arrived in 1962, a full three years later.

The result is a 90-minute slog through the unfunny noodlings and musings of the filmmaker and his friends: in this case, Matthew Harrison and actor Kevin Corrigan (who co-wrote the screenplay) and their pals Michael Rapaport and Lili Taylor, both of whom have made their reputation in exactly this kind of independent fare.
Kicked in the Head goes even farther in its search for credibility, adding the names of Martin Scorsese and his partner, Barbara DeFina, as producers.
