The plot: Two psychos ride around killing people. No one's chasing
them. No one really seems to care that they exist. Oh, yeah, I nearly
forgot. They were both abused as children, but mostly in black and
white. A newsman wants to interview them...more |

Oliver Stone's NATURAL BORN KILLERS is both less and more than
you'd expect. Less in that the violence is not of the disgusting gore
variety that it's been trumped up as, and more in that disturbing

SCTV, the TV spoof comedy show out of Canada that ran for several
years in syndication, once tried to do a parody of Laverne & Shirley
and found that they just couldn't do it. The show was already a parody

NATURAL BORN KILLERS is being billed as the most violent thing
you've ever seen, the most shocking of the Oliver Stone films, etc.,
but I didn't find it so. Perhaps I'm just becoming jaded, but I found
Stone's editing technique, in which no shot is...more |

It's the 45-degree camera angles. If you get even slightly seasick,
you probably won't make it 10 minutes into the dizzying camera work,
the jump cuts, the different film stocks, the discrete stereo effects,

I just came back from seeing this film, and must say that I hated
