Based on the title, and the trailer, you might think the answer is easy: it\u2019s a <strong>Bob Dylan<\/strong> documentary from <strong>Martin Scorsese<\/strong>. After all, Scorsese already directed one Dylan doc:\u00a0<em>No Direction Home<\/em>. And\u00a0<em>Rolling Thunder Revue<\/em> is indeed set up like a documentary. But it\u2019s not. Instead, this is a semi-fictional documentary featuring interviews with real and fictional people (and sometimes real people portraying fictional versions of themselves).<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the film portrays things: in 1975, a filmmaker named\u00a0Stefan Van Dorp followed Dylan\u2019s\u00a0Rolling Thunder Revue tour and filmed what he saw. The end result is the\u00a0<em>Rolling Thunder Revue<\/em> film, which features that footage and interviews with people who were there, including\u00a0Joan Baez,\u00a0Sam Shepard, Patti Smith, and more. But here\u2019s the truth: the footage was actually shot by Dylan himself, for his movie\u00a0Renaldo and Clara. Stefan Van Dorp doesn\u2019t exist. And that\u2019s just one of the many sneaky little things the film does to trick its audience.<\/p>\n<p>As Scorsese explains in a supplementary interview, he wanted the movie (or\u00a0<em>picture<\/em>, to use Scorsese\u2019s preferred term) to \u201cbe a magic trick.\u201d What\u2019s real, and what\u2019s fiction? That\u2019s all part of the fun. Scorsese has commented before about his desire to play around with a formula in regards to this film, telling <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv\/tv-features\/pretend-its-a-city-martin-scorsese-fran-lebowitz-interview-1110499\/\">Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cThe question was: How do you tell a story differently? How could I tell a story differently from my films that had fictional, or more traditional narratives? I wanted to do something different, and I found these documentaries were a place where I could go and just smash the form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Director Martin Scorsese on what inspired him to make Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EBMAxDDQqxM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Own or Rent?<\/strong><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->You can, of course, stream\u00a0Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese on Netflix right now, for no additional cost (assuming you already subscribe to Netflix, that is).

It was a disaster. Critics tore the film apart along with everyone else who happened to take part in that premiere. \u201cI was dazed, confused, bewildered, bored, affronted, and deafened by the boos all around me,\u201d Roger Ebert\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/southland-tales-2007\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0of the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker <strong>Richard Kelly<\/strong> would call the premiere \u201ctraumatizing,\u201d later telling <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2021\/01\/richard-kelly-southland-tales-cannes-cut\">Vanity Fair<\/a>: \u201cThe feedback from the publicists was like somewhere along the lines of getting <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> that your child had been drowned in a swimming pool. People were looking at me like there was a major death in the family. It wasn\u2019t as much as the feedback we were getting on the film as the expressions on people\u2019s faces all around me. It was quite traumatizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Kelly\u2019s debut feature,\u00a0<em>Donnie Darko<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Southland Tales<\/em> would eventually find its audience. Sort of. Because while\u00a0<em>Darko<\/em> managed to go beyond obscure cult movie status and find something close to mainstream appeal on home video,\u00a0<em>Southland Tales<\/em> remained an outlier; the type of film that\u2019s an abomination to some and a stone-cold classic to others. Before it found its way to a few theaters (where it promptly bombed, taking in just $374,743 on a $17 million budget), Kelly cut the film down. The now-infamous Cannes Cut clocked-in at 160 minutes, while what the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> public got ran at\u00a0144 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, all these years later, Kelly\u2019s Cannes Cut is available for all to see thanks to a new Arrow Video Blu-ray release. So how does it stack up? Could it somehow be\u00a0<em>better<\/em> than the theatrical cut despite all the talk of audiences booing their throats raw? There\u2019s no easy answer. If you hate the theatrical cut of\u00a0<em>Southland Tales<\/em>, you\u2019ll hate the even longer cut, too. While the Cannes Cut is a bit more coherent (if you can call anything that happens in this movie coherent) and expansive, it\u2019s pretty much the same movie. This isn\u2019t a Ridley Scott-style recut, where what you\u2019re getting is drastically different.<\/p>\n<p>The plot, if you want to call it that, revolves around various players in a \u201cfuturistic\u201d 2008\u00a0Los Angeles. There\u2019s an amnesiac movie star (<strong>Dwayne Johnson<\/strong>, actually <em>acting<\/em> here and not just playing the same character he plays in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> these days), his porn star mistress (<strong>Sarah Michelle Gellar<\/strong>), and twin brothers both played by\u00a0<strong>Seann William Scott<\/strong>. There\u2019s lots of talk of political intrigue, racist and fascist governments, and apocalyptic scenarios. There are impromptu musical numbers. There are a\u00a0<em>lot<\/em> of former <em>Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>cast members who show up, go extremely over-the-top, and then promptly die. It\u2019s a lot to handle. And yet,\u00a0<em>Southland Tales<\/em> is special. Is it a mess? Oh my god, yes. It\u2019s a catastrophic mess, in fact. But I would much rather live in a world where filmmakers take huge swings like this than play it safe. Even if those risks don\u2019t pay off they\u2019re far more rewarding than the mundane.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is a Cult Film - Richard Kelly\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sQRh4FDCJYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_4 --><strong>Own or Rent?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, this will completely depend on what you currently think about\u00a0<em>Southland Tales<\/em>.

Remember how that movie opened with a fictional TV movie called <em>The Night the Reindeer Died<\/em>, where terrorists invade the North Pole and Santa Claus and Lee Majors had to fight them off? Well, now imagine an\u00a0<em>entire movie<\/em> that seems to be based on that one opening joke from\u00a0<em>Scrooged<\/em>, and you have\u00a0<strong><em>Fatman<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In writer-directors\u00a0<strong>Eshom Nelms<\/strong> and <strong>Ian Nelms<\/strong>\u2018 film, a hitman (<strong>Walton Goggins<\/strong>) has been hired to kill Old Saint Nick (<strong>Mel Gibson<\/strong>). This is, admittedly, a fun premise. The hitman is hired by a spoiled rich kid (<strong>Chance Hurstfield<\/strong>) who seems modeled on Donald Trump, and the idea of a brat like that trying to bump off Santa for bringing him some coal is rife for comedy. Unfortunately,\u00a0<em>Fatman<\/em> doesn\u2019t really do anything with it. Instead, the film is oddly\u2026boring? If you have a movie where Walton Goggins is a hitman trying to kill Santa, and you make that movie boring, something is very wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the fact that Santa is played by Gibson, an actor who will forever carry around baggage due to several controversial personal issues. That\u2019s going to turn people off from the get-go, but to be fair, Gibson is quite good here as a miserable, washed-up Santa who feels like he\u2019s obsolete. A better movie would\u2019ve played with all of these threads \u2013 the spoiled kid, the cold-hearted killer, the sad Santa \u2013 and done something memorable. But\u00a0<em>Fatman<\/em>\u00a0can\u2019t find its footing. It throws in a needless subplot about Santa having to take a job producing weapons for the government to make ends meet and never really delivers on its premise.

And by the way, that green goo? It\u2019s\u00a0<em>Satan<\/em>! Sort of. Look, logic doesn\u2019t apply here.

While\u00a0<em>Prince of Darkness<\/em> doesn\u2019t have what you\u2019d call an air-tight script, Carpenter evokes such a surreal, ominous mood that you can\u2019t help but get swept up in it all.<\/p>\n<p>Carpenter\u2019s\u00a0<em>Prince of Darkness<\/em> has already had itself a Blu-ray from Scream!
