Review

Donnie Darko’s fevered cult has been eagerly awaiting round two from director Richard Kelly for six years now. To put it mildly, the batshit crazy Southland Talesï¿½an absurd mash-up of mutant Iraq-war vets, neo-Marxist rebels, and nuked Texans standing pat at the edge of the end of the worldï¿½is not what they were expecting. David Edelstein says the movie ï¿½doesn’t go off the rails because it never has rails to go off.ï¿½ That said: ï¿½Love it or laugh at it, you will gaze on Southland Tales with awe.ï¿½ Our take? ï¿½It's like watching Howard the Duck with a high fever.ï¿½ In other words: awesome.
