I was curious who else has checked out some of these films and what people thought of them? I'm more talking about the non-Smith directed ones, but if you want to discuss Smith's a little then feel free to. So far I've watched The Dirties, Bindlestiffs and some of American Milkshake.
Here are my thoughts on each:
The Dirties
The best of the three IMHO. I really enjoyed the main character of this one. The ending leaves something to be desired, but as a whole very interesting and fun at times. It is really odd to have so much comedy in what is essentially a school shooting film, but the director makes it work.
Bindlestiffs
Probabbly the most rewatch value and if I take it in again I might even like it better than The Dirties. Just straight up silly fun. The kid who is really into The Catcher in the Rye also has a look that makes him stand out. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes onto appear in bigger things.
American Milkshake
For some reason I just couldn't get into this movie. The protagonist really wasn't likable, but it's more than that. Plenty of films have unlikable protagonists but are still great. I still have it so I might have to watch it through someime, but I'm not really dying to see the rest of it.
