Southland Tales (Graded)

Director Richard (Donnie Darko) Kelly was at the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday promoting his latest sci-fi film "Southland Tales." Many people are pretty excited to finally see the film, since this is the man that gave us "Donnie Darko." But also because "Southland Tales" has gone through many delays, negative reviews from the Cannes Film Festival showing, and re-shoots after Sony put in extra funding for some much needed special effects.
Kelly stated at the Comic-Con that, "[We made] a lot of editorial changes in terms of restructuring the order of scenes, We re-recorded all of Justin Timberlake's voice-over & we added, like, 90 new visual-effects shots. It was truly like a work of progress." He also added that the movie has been cut by 20-25 minutes from its initial cut, which was nearly three hours long.

Grade: F
