Snow Angels Disappoints Me

I'm a pretty big david gordon green fan. i think all the real girls is a classic movie and i love george washington and undertow, but his latest snow angels, which i saw at the l.a. premiere no less was the first signs of a man slipping from his vision. the languid pace, rhythm and loose structure of his previous works was nearly gone and in their place was a traditional and predictable story line with moments, mere glimpses of the good director's personality shining through. hell in one moment with the sam rockwell character's mom literally yelling. what i thought when i heard that surprising yell late in the movie was david gordon green's cinematic personality trying so desperately to get out. sad really, my expectations for this seth rogan collaboration this summer are now low to the point i may not even bother to see it. and please, no more movies with shaggy haired "alternative" "cool" high school kids and the girls that love them, this girl played by juno's best friend no less. american "indie" movies are like most "indie" rock. vomitously cutesy, precious and weak.
