Storyline: Cartoon Noir 1999 I hate to parrot the typical line, but yes, The Story of the Cat and the Moon is hands down the best thing on this disc And, since it makes up less than five of the 83 minutes on this disc, a lot of people have been very disappointed with the rest of the selections, I figured each of them deserves their own, mini review Club of the Discarded Stop motion mannequins going about their lives The film would have been serviceable had it have ended halfway through, but it goes from mildly interesting abstraction to incoherent stupidity when the injection of a plot is attempted when new mannequins come into the old mannequins turf and a painfully uninteresting battle ensues Many of the films more striking images that of a limp necked female mannequin shooting her head up as an invocation of thought or of a family of mannequins sitting down to eat a dinner consisting of paint and newspaper are ruined by incessant repetition The films other images, with range from mediocre a mannequin man falling down the stairs on his way to work to juvenile attempts at humorshock mannequins having sex, which I was barely able to stomach, get downright frustrating with all of their repetitions Actually, repetitions make up about 23rds of the movie I dont mind abstraction without plot, but that abstraction should at lest be interesting This isnt GRADE F Ape A man and wife sit down to eat a dead ape It is implied that the woman had sex with the ape before she cooked it SHOCKING Very stylized Some great images, some so so images A painfully amateurish vocal track doesnt help matters much, but at lest its too short to be offensive GRADE C Abductees Audio interviews with some real life victims of alien abduction are played over lush visual representations of those abductions The varied mix of visual styles and the slow but measured pace of the film is creepy and oddly affecting it turns out that TV shows typically only show the interesting parts of abductees stories, but some of the mundane parts are actually quite fascinating GRADE B+ Joy Street What at first seems like a typical art student film takes an abrupt and thankful turn for the weird The beginning of the film features an incredibly depressed young lady sitting around and being depressed Its nicely drawn but too technical, not really approachable and the characters cant really emote I was ready to dismiss this as pretentiousness until the woman falls asleep and her cartoon ashtray comes to life and starts dancing around in a world of Disney happiness, trying to revive her from a suicide attempt Its a bit long, especially with all the imagery near the end had it lasted a few minutes more, I probably would have screamed out I get it, but overall its a greatly enjoyable little film GRADE B
