Back on the Strip

Back on the Strip is a guilty pleasure in the sense that I feel like I need to apologize to somebody for laughing as much as I did.  This unleashed movie isn’t very perceptive or thoughtful, but it knows how to deliver a payoff and a punchline.  I suppose in these circumstances you have to be fair and give credit where credit is due, but it feels like I’m rewarding bad behaviour.

Zola

Zola, to an extent, is experimental with its narrative.  While it flows coherently, the film is very much still in tune with its source material – a series of tweets explaining a story that’s “strange yet true” – and presents itself as someone spinning you a wild yarn (intercut with tangents and outbursts).
