    Fun Movie

    I just came from the 27th Boston Science Fiction Movie Marathon, and this move closed the show. It was wonderful and a lot of fun! Excellent performances, and a large number of cameos, as well. The film clips were hysterical (and stay for the end credits!)

    Funny, but room for improvement.

    The only criticism I'd make about this film is that the documentary angle wasn't played up to its entirety. There're shots in the film that just don't gybe with documentary film making. An example are some of the lockdown shots, where edited footage of two people having a conversation (a conversation that is supposed captured by a single camera) is shown. It just doesn't wash. And the film suffers because of it. Documentary crews either setup interviews or follow their subjects around. The intercut sequences harken too much to traditional film making. Documentaries have long takes of jittery or mildly shaken hand held shots. Documentaries do not contain lockdown car shots, dolly shots, or other complicated camera moves. It just doesn't happen: It's not what documentary film making is all about. And yet "The Independent" has all of these things.

    If the actors had just been allowed to act in front of the camera, possibly ad lib in a long master, then this film would've been much more than what it ultimately became, and would've achieved its goal with sterling aplomb. As it is now it's an attempt at making a mocumentary. Fairly succesful, good, funny, but ultimately a few points shy of a comic masterpiece.

    Otherwise it's actually a funny film. Anybody who's worked on any kind of independent production will tell you that this film hits pretty close to home. Artistic license is taken with over the top situations and performances, but the film manages to capture the general feel of how the indy-film maker works, and does so in a comic vein. Stiller plays the exploitation film maker who denies his more base nature, stating that he's an artiste commenting on society, and not a director of hack T&A/slasher/blacksploitation/biker or whatever exploitation genre that he's actually known for.

    If you enjoyed "This is Spinal Tap," "Jackie Brown," or "Drop Dead Gorgeous," then you'll warm to this film. Take note of the rating; it's not a comedy for kids.

    DVD or Video? Hello???

    I actually had the opportunity to see this film in a theatre, and I laughed my ass off from the very beginning. Normally I can't stand Jerry Stiller (or Ben for that matter), but this movie was great. It's spoof on Roger Corman's early works is brilliant. My only question is: When are we going to get a home release of this film??? So far I've only been able to tape if off Comedy Central, and it's pan & scan and loses a lot from being blurred and edited. I want The Independent on DVD!!! It has big names, it just wasn't given a fare shake at all. I don't get it. 10 out of 10...

    A great movie!!!

    I saw this movie on Sunset at the screening. It was a great movie. It was a very funny, very quirky movie. It kind of reminded me of Ed Wood. And it was really fabulous because there are so many different cameos in the movie! When you least expect them! Hysterical. Great lines. Funny jokes. I highly recommend this movie.

    Satire Worth Seeing

    This sleeper has been overlooked. It is frequently funny with many illustrations of real wit. If you're a fan of indie-flicks, then there's much to enjoy here, not least of which are unexpected cameos by industry names.

    Plus, despite what others have said, there is a narrative based on the characters' familial relations. That, and quality acting from the leads (especially Jerry Stiller, who'll surprise you with his convincing portrayal) make this satire well-worth watching.

    I found this on cable and learned it's not been released on DVD. Let's start lobbying for that!
