Inside the Goldmine

I am a huge fan of independent films so I thought I would give this one a shot last week on IFC. After barely making it through this film I have to say this is one of the worst movies that I have ever tried to watch. The story goes nowhere and in between the viewer gets to watch the actors (I use this term loosely) scream at the top of their lungs. On top of this it seems that everyone in the movie is struggling to remember their lines in virtually every scene. The only thing that could explain this would be too much improvising. I could write about this movie for days but I feel that I have already wasted too much time as is. One thing to wonder about though, Would this have gotten made if Ali MacGraw wasn't Josh Evans mother?

As a Drew Barrymore fanatic, I was excited to see this hard to find film on The Sundance Channel one night - it was the only movie in her filmography I had not seen. What a disappointment it was that she was only in maybe 60 seconds in a random cameo - but in the end I'm glad she wasn't in more of this horrible movie. The plot is stupid and it feels like most of the dialogue is improvised - which said dialogue consists mainly of the F word and other explitives shouted over & over. The F word is seriously said probably every 2 or 3 other words the entire movie. The acting is atrocious as well. I ended up buying this movie only to complete my Drew collection but it's the only DVD that I've never even taken the plastic wrap off of. The only reason I ever would is if there was someone I wanted to lock in a room and administer extreme torture to by playing this movie on a loop.

Please take the time to do absolutely anything besides watching

this film. I try to think of something on par with the waste of

time I felt this was, and I can't. Actually I feel as if I am

There are too many things embarrassing about this movie. Ad-libbing in itself can be an art but this movie is just filled with rambling. Josh Evans rambling in the last scene with the green facial mask smeared on his face, Jesus, it was just too painful to endure. Alan Marshall started out bad but appeared to redeem himself as the movie progressed, it's easy when you're surrounded with actors this bad. There's a scene where's he's trying to open up to his successful producer father- Marshall could win an Oscar standing next to this guy. His father appeared to keep forgetting what he was suppose to be talking about, and so to fill space just kept repeating stupid taunts like "are you a f*gg*t" and "are you sucking cock". It was surreal and oh so, yes, embarrassing.

What a big surprise I received when I started viewing this DVD, there is really nothing I can say about this so called film. The actors did a fantastic job of portraying mixed up and confused young people, who use only four letter words mostly with "F" and one subject deals strictly with girls and one guy talking about men's private parts. There is a girl getting hit on and the guy getting to First Base and at the same time giving her a very hard time. The producer tries to shock his audience with conversations about believing in God or not, lesbian behavior, a guy who loves whores and a rather strange relationship between a father and his son. There is constant bad language and there is no story. The DVD cover has Drew Barrymore starring in this film, and this is a very false statement as well as this film.
