Let's Get Wasted!
Here's an incredibly entertaining no-budget feature that came out of nowhere! Mixing satirical B-movie conventions with a stylish, revenge-driven plot, Alice in Wasteland is a real trip down the rabbit-hole. After a poorly executed robbery goes predictably bad, trailer-park denizen Alice (Roxane Sondrup) is shot and left for dead, only to wake up from a coma a year later. Now, with a partner she picked up in jail, they're tearing through the streets, and a determined dirty cop (Michelle Beisner, a former Denver Broncos cheerleader) will stop at nothing to retire them. The box compares it to a Carl Hiaasen novel, but I'll go one further and say it's more reminiscent of a great Elmore Leonard yarn. Can't ask for more than that!
Good times!
Alice in Wasteland is a movie that is worthy to be called a movie for guys who likes movies. It invokes a little Tarantino (think Kill Bill) It's an entertaining flick - check it out.
What a surprise!
A low-budget, never-heard-of indie that rocks! Basically, I mean you never get to the point where you say, "oh GOD!" and shut the movie off out of boredom, disgust or that nails-scratching-on-chalkboard feeling. Alice in Wasteland entertains, and it does it big-time! Don't look for story, but DO look for twists and turns, funny stuff and most important - STYLE! Well, directed, edited fun stuff. Lighting needs work (probably needs real lights), but I would love to see what these guys do with a real budget. I demand more!
