Picked up Spring Breakers at the redbox. It's by Harmony Korine, director of Gummo and Trash Humpers. I was really looking forward to this film and I got to say it scared me more then any recent horror flick. The first half is a whirlwind nightmare of everything I lost when I left San Diego. Beautiful women, the beach, drinking, weed, cocaine, parties and fun. It's left to the viewer to piece together the narrative, with short segment spliced into the wild party footage often out of order. Some of the story is told in voice over either monologues or phone calls home to the family.
I don't want to say too much about the story. I find Korine's films very challenging and half the fun is putting together the story for yourself. Halfway into the movie James Franco delivers a power house performance as a gangster who leads the girls into more serious crime. Spring Breakers is a collage of beautiful bikini clad young woman partying their asses off and committing serious crimes. If you are not down with that there is something wrong you! Check this out!
