movies@work(tm) Zero Day


Disadvantage(s) of working(2) at a video store:
1. Watching movies one would not pick out
2. Forgetting the movie one just watched because you are working
3. Judging a movie poorly because one is distracted by work
Zero Day is the "Blair Witch Project" about Columbine. It is director/writer/producer Ben Coccio's first feature length film. It is the preparation for the assault on the high school through the eyes of the two perps...
I am looking forward to Gus Van Sant's Elephant, but man, this was terrific. Track it down and watch it! The kids are utterly believable as disaffected youths. No mention of Doom or the other mediated "causes" of their isolation and homicidal tendencies, which is refreshing.
