1/5 Are you kidding?!

Please don't waste your time with this poor excuse for an indie movie. I did not watch it through to the end - it was that bad, laughably bad even!

SCREENING ROOM
Odyssey of drugs and denial
Poetic, stylish "Tweek City" debuts Sunday at the Dances With Films Festival.

By Kevin Thomas, Times Staff Writer

Eric G. Johnson's "Tweek City" is a double-whammy discovery -- for writer-producer-director Johnson and for his star, Giuseppe Andrews. It is a harrowing yet illuminating odyssey driven by an impassioned, confident filmmaker and a young actor of equal resources and daring.

Although not autobiographical, the film draws upon a dark period in Johnson's life, which gives it a sense of being told by someone who's been there and done that.

Andrews' Bill is a charismatic San Francisco drug dealer who spirals downward on crystal meth over a period of several days. He takes drugs to blot out nightmares of a troubled childhood, which only intensifies his paranoia, his denial of his half-Latino heritage and his homophobia, which may mask a latent homosexuality. Johnson and cinematographer Barry Stone employ various types of cameras, film and tape, and add stylistic flourishes that express Bill's quicksilver shifts of mood and temperament in a manner that is darkly vital and poetic.

1/5 Don't bother

There's a difference between an indie film and a low budget film. This film is neither. This is guerilla filmmaking without the growl.

The script is juvenile and the acting is largely jaw-droppingly bad. It feels like a high school kid's video project.

The male privates are digitally blurred out, which makes this "indie" film seem laughingly tame at the same time as it purports to be an "in your face" look at crystal meth addiction and yadda yadda yadda.

The lead character is so revolting that it is impossible to muster any sympathy for him. The sex scenes are juvenile and unnecessary.

If you must get this film then make sure you've got a table or chair that has one wonky leg. You'll want to use the DVD case to prop it up when you've cursed yourself for getting this film.

5/5 A look into our everyday society.

I recieved "Tweek City" off of amazon.com last week and spent my Friday night with it. (I have a bit of a thing for Giuseppe Andrews and have been waiting for this movie for awhile.) I honestly can say that I enjoyed the movie very much. A lot of it I didn't expect at all, but who really purchases a film in hopes of seeing a girl get puked on or a "Cleveland Steemer"? Some of it reminded me of the times I used to get messed up with friends...and made me appreciate that I'm not living that lifestyle anymore. Still, it felt like a love story for the demented at heart...because if a past love crashed my wedding and put a gun in my face, I'd probably have to shag him. Random events of random people's lives, it felt more like a documentary than fiction. Because the truth is, somebody out there is living that life. It's 2007, a large percentage of the world is living that life.

Hey it has Giuseppe Andrews in it, that is all that matters, and Eric is a great director.
