"Slipstream" a "HolyFuckingShit" screening at Cinefamily... a bell that can't be unrung

There are moments in your life you will always remember, your first kiss, your wedding day, the birth of your children, and the first time you watch "Slipstream". I had my first view last night at Cinefamily's The Most "HolyFuckingShit" Movie of 2007 screening.

A film written and directed by Anthony Hopkins, it's as if the film were the secret lovechild of Oliver Stone and David Lynch but was totally void of any of their fathers talents. Hopkins has worked with both directors and I got the feeling that while he was working on their films he was saying to himself "I could do what these blokes do with my hands tied behind my back". Only if someone had done him the favor of tying his hands behind his back, we and the cast of usually fine actors (Jeffrey Tambor, Christian Slater, John Turturro, Michael Clarke Duncan & Kevin McCarthy) wouldn't have been subjected to "Slipstream".  Hopkins will not "explain" his film, when interviewed at Sundance Film Festival were it screened all he would say is "I did it as a little joke.

Do yourself a favor, if you love really bad movies, find a copy and watch it.
