	Novocaine (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Novocaine is a little along the lines of Spanish Prisoner and reminds me of Memento.
		The plot was complex, the acting superb, it was well crafted, surprising, and even funny.

	DVDCC.COM: Novocaine DVD REVIEW
		Novocaine has long been on my list of films I wanted to see on DVD that I didn’t get a chance to in the theaters.
		Novocaine has a relatively simple plot catalyst; that quickly falls into completely unpredictability, which is both good and bad.
		Novocaine’s score dominates most of the rear channels, but effects are passed to the back on a number of occasions, all adding a nice enveloping effect.

	Novocaine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Novocaine, a first directing effort by David Atkins, aims to be a dark, edgy comedy about what happens to an ordinary guy caught in a spiral of circumstances that, by sheer number, become extraordinary.
		He can do slapstick, it's true (he did, of course, dance around on happy feet with an arrow on his head and a banjo in his hands at one point in his career), but even that is informed by a braininess not matched by many "serious" actors.
		Novocaine is kind of a cross between two of Martin's earlier films, The Spanish Prisoner and Little Shop of Horrors.

	Procaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For other uses of the name Novocaine and other spellings thereof, see Novocaine (disambiguation).
		It was created by the German chemist Alfred Einhorn (1857-1917) who gave the chemical the trade name Novocaine, from the Latin 'Novus' (meaning New) plus 'caine' as in "cocaine".
		It was introduced into medical use by surgeon Heinrich Braun (1862-1934).

	Novocaine
		It vacillates from dark comedy to forties-style melodrama, from light-hearted slapstick to medium-heavy gore and nudity, and in one particularly inexplicable sequence, Novocaine attempts to be a post-modernist Lacanian thing involving a character's heightened self-awareness as a fictional construct.
		Novocaine is the worst kind of mystery/thriller in that it refuses to play fair with its audience.
		As is symptomatic of a debut feature, Novocaine suffers from gimmicky and sometimes sloppy camerawork (watch for an unintentional cameo by Atkins reflected, Persona-like, in a glass cabinet in Dr. Frank's room); the film is also an endurance test of bad acting (Bacon and Dern are in the early Raspberry running).

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Laura Dern in Novocaine (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Novocaine was one of the very best comedies released for 2001, but unfortunately due to some insane reason or another, it never made it before the public at large, and is still largely unseen by many.
		Novocaine is an interesting study in what can result from a single lie, one that you could have and should have told the truth about.
		Again though, as hilarious and entertaining as Novocaine can be, its humor is extremely dark at times, and is not for everyone, especially those people who have difficulty in watching painful scenes involving dentistry.

		When Novocaine opens, you believe that this is going to be a clever little film about a dentist with a Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer twist.

		Novocaine is one of the most unique movies I have seen in a long time.
		Novocaine is rated R for some violence, sexuality, nudity, language, and drug content.
		Novocaine is a dark comedy, so not everyone will like it.

	Novocaine
		The best part of "Novocaine" occurs during its opening credits where eerie X-rays, which will intermittently appear throughout the film, are paired with Danny Elfman's "Edward Scissorhands" meets "Seven" score.
		When the story begins, in an office environment strongly reminiscent of Robert Altman's "Dr. T and the Women," it sustains interest for a while, before sinking into a hopelessly over-plotted tale where the players are jerked around by the whims of story line rather than character development.
		However, the Hitchcockian 'innocent man thrown into circumstances beyond his control' genre has far better representatives than "Novocaine" and this well assembled cast can't keep this one from spiralling out of control.

	Novocaine (2001)
		The latter character - played in a cameo by an uncredited performer I’ll leave unnamed - offered some of the movie’s most entertaining moments, and his interaction with David was a genuine highlight of the piece.
		Novocaine lacked a lot of such bits, and it generally seemed a little draggy and lackluster.
		Novocaine appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.78:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	Novocaine (2001)
		Novocaine is no different and quite a departure from the Steve Martin we saw in his infamous role as a crazed dentist in Little Shop of Horrors.
		Novocaine is a film that goes back to the basics - a well-written script, fabulous acting, and unpredictable twists and turns - elements that are tried and true, but never tired or boring.
		After a disappointing summer of big screen special effects with little soul, Novocaine may be one of the first indicators of a fall and winter worth looking forward to.

	Novocaine
		In Novocaine, Steve Martin plays a successful small-town dentist named Frank Sangster, secure in his neatly ordered existence and happily engaged to Jean Noble (Laura Dern), his ambitious dental hygienist.
		Novocaine tries hard to be a film reminiscent of the Coen Brothers' Fargo and Blood Simple, combining laughter with suspense.
		Novocaine is a half-hearted and all-too predictable trip into Coen Brothers territory.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: Novocaine
		While NOVOCAINE is certainly not a typical thriller in the content and directorial style, at it's core it is just another innocent-man-accused storyline and, as many of the films in this style, the result is less than satisfactory once you find out what's going on.
		NOVOCAINE can't be called odd as much as it can be called uneven.
		NOVOCAINE feels more like a rough draft for a movie instead of a finished and fully realized production.

		Novocaine would have made a dazzling debut 10 or 15 years ago.
		Novocaine is hurt even more by its promiscuous in-jokes.
		Laura Dern works past the inconsistencies in her character and adds another oddball character to her credits; she’s building less of a filmography than a menagerie, and it’s a wonderful thing to watch.

	Amazon.com: Novocaine (2001) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A screwball noir comedy that marks a promising directorial debut by first-timer David Atkins, Novocaine has a knack for the offbeat, beginning with the casting of Steve Martin as Frank, a dentist who traps himself in an escalating series of secrets and lies.
		Novocaine is labeled as a dark comedy in the reviews here, a conclusion I don't necessarily see from the film.
		I am wanting to get som novocaine for my self and pull my own teeth out so i can be a dentist to.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Novocaine, 11-23-01
		In Novocaine, the man who, to his ruin, closes his eyes and leaves his mouth parted for the first kiss is dentist Frank Sangster (Steve Martin).
		Instead, Novocaine attempts to force-feed a saccharine conclusion that is a betrayal to its sinful pair and the audience.
		Even in the remake of Planet of the Apes, when she played coy under a mask of monkey makeup, Carter's Ari found a man willing to turn his back on humanity in order to press his lips to hers.

	Review: Novocaine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Novocaine isn't a bad film, but, as a noir effort, it's far from the top tier.
		Novocaine uses Hitchcock's favorite plot device, the accused innocent man, to moderately good effect.
		This is an sporadically entertaining motion picture, but it's not an unqualified success and certainly not the "find" that some people (most of whom are publicists) are claiming it to be.

		Novocaine have been compared to lots of different rock bands, but we wouldn't want to limit ourselves to a certain sound.

		Novocaine will continue to make the music they like to play, regardless of any changes or commercial succes.

	Danny Elfman 's Music For A Darkened People: Novocaine (2001)
		Novocaine marks the first regular release of a Steve Bartek score, with this TVT disc featuring about 30 minutes of his music.
		Danny Elfman's wacky "Main Titles" sort of set the tone for the rest of the score, and in terms of style and voice, Bartek's music is reminiscent of Elfman's, but the majority of Novocaine is written in a very linear fashion, unlike the style of composing Elfman usually employs.
		A dark sense of humor runs through Bartek's score, with periodic moments of high-spirits (the whistling, la francais "Menilmontant", and the dentist-drill guitars in "Little Guys") but for the most part, a dark coolness permeates.

	Review: Novocaine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Its what makes me entertaining.) This theory is that everyone behind Novocaine KNOWS that its going to get absolutely, totally lost in the dust cloud of box office grosses that Harry is going to leave behind in the wake of his broomstick.
		And by earning almost zero attention when its a theatrical release, the people involved with Novocaine who do actually have very respected careers (Martin, Bonham Carter, Dern) will suffer a lot less embarrassment, and be able to leave it off their resumes without anyone really noticing the omission in years to come.
		Novocaine has three, in addition to the opening credits sequence which Ive already mentioned.

	Novocaine - Rotten Tomatoes
		The quirky Novocaine flirts with both dark comedy and noir suspense, but the result is a jarring mix of tones which never quite mesh.
		Novocaine, Artisan Entertainment’s edgy, unpredictable crime thriller, stars Steve Martin as a prosperous dentist whose well-ordered existence is thrown into turmoil when an alluring new patient draws him into a seedy underworld of sex, drugs and murder.
		One of the slickest and most skillful fl comedies of the year in the blistering thriller Novocaine.

	SoundtrackNet : Novocaine Soundtrack
		Let me set the stage for you a bit: we've got an independent thriller-cum-fl comedy with a strong cast which, to paraphrase Dennis Miller, blithely opened one weekend and then practically hopped on a turbo rocket sled to Blockbuster's 99 cent bin.
		My biggest complaint about the Bartek stuff is, as well crafted as it is, on the album it plays a bit like wallpaper and is severely saddled by a small handful of songs.
		The title cut, Penny's alt-rock "Novocaine", is clearly designed to draw the average music listener into buying an album of mostly underscore.

	tabulas.com: novocaine for the soul
		Posted by novocaine at 10:49 pm on August 3rd, 2004.
		It may also have something to do with the continuing scandal (as my eldest sib would term it) within our family due to what my broher is doing, which is slowly taking the nerve of me coz this worried my dad so much...and that most memorable seminar which I attended to last Saturday.
		In my job, it sucks to think that a considerable portion of those who call about the services that our clients offer are those who belong to the fl race (the politically-correct term of this is Afro-Americans) and those people whose lineage come from the Asian Indies (India, or how we Pinoys call as Bumbays).

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Novocaine
		"Novocaine" is not like other Steve Martin comedies--it is a plot packed noir flick with plenty of belly laughs, but no magic.

	Novocaine (2001): Reviews
		Novocaine is neither funny enough to be a comedy, nor dark enough to be a true film noir.
		If Novocaine fulfilled the promise of its premise and cast, it could be great.
		The result is a performance that is neither funny nor empathetic, and the romance that develops between the dentist and the junkie patient is not strong enough to support the mystery.

		It seems as if I can remember at least one scene in every Steve Martin film that was memorable--something that stood out as either a show stopper or just plain good comedy.
