movie review - Loaded

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.06

This is the best film I have seen in a while. The story is about a bunch of University grads who are trying to make a slasher film and get rich. It's written/directed by three self-absorbed fellows, and there are plenty of attractive females involved to step in front of the camera. Set in an old mansion, the crew and cast simmer until the climax when one of the writers produces some acid tabs. Before night, one limb of a budding love triangle is dead, and everything comes, well, crashing to a halt. It's just a mess.

Not recommended.
