"Garage Days"
Starring Kick Gurry
Fox Searchlight
It’s fitting that
a movie about a
would-be rock band
would have all the
depth and profundi
ty of a music video.
“Garage Days” is a
pretty film to look
at, featuring a ka
leidoscope of visual
effects and unusual editing techniques, but
the plot lacks the substance it needs to el
evate itself beyond the cute flick that it be
comes. It may be a shallow film with more
emphasis on visuals than story, but it is for
that exact reason it becomes highly enter
taining and thus, like most music videos,
highly re-watchable.
Freddy (Kick Gurry) has dreams of gran
deur for his band. He fantasizes about the
day that his band will make it big and play
to sold-out crowds of screaming girls all
craving his body. The problem is, the band
lives in a Sydney suburb with virtually no
way to get discovered, a problem magnified
by the manager’s ineptitude.
Desperate for a gig, a chance encounter
brings Freddy and his band a little closer to
Iraq
Continued from page 1A
The airstrikes, in the eastern
and southern parts of this city,
targeted a militant “command
and control headquarters” that
has been coordinating attacks
against U.S. and Iraqi forces, the
U.S. military said in a statement.
“Initial assessments indicate
there are no noncombatant casu
alties,” the U.S. statement added.
“Enemy casualty figures cannot
be confirmed.”
Hospital officials said two
people were killed in the attack
but did not say whether they
were insurgents.
Late Tuesday, U.S. jets
dropped several bombs and
tank and artillery units fired
rounds into Fallujah in retali
ation for militant attacks on
Marine positions outside the
city, said Marine spokesman
Lt. Col. T.V. Johnson.
Despite the formal end of the
U.S. occupation on June. 28,
the interim Iraqi government
has lost control over key Sunni
Muslim cities such as Fallu
jah, Ramadi and Samarra. The
commander of the U.S. 1st In-
his dream when he meets Shad Kern (Mar-
ton Csokas), the manager of Australia’s
most popular band. On the verge of a pos
sible breakout for the band, Freddy must
struggle to prevent his band from break
ing up due to internal conflict. Infidelity
and midnight kisses lead to a battle of bed
mates as emotions clash and relationships
are broken and created.
Perhaps the most shocking thing about
the film is its director. Alexander Proyas
has left behind the dark and brooding Goth
ic style of previous films “The Crow” and
“Dark City” to bring to life the most vibrant
and colorful film of his career. There are
more colors in the first five minutes of
“Garage Days” than in both of his previous
works combined.
Proyas has shown a real knack for creat
ing memorable images that, once inserted
into your mind, do not leave.
“Garage Days” is filled with many sim
ilar images, in fact, that with each subse
quent viewing, more will be discovered.
From a bizarre and wickedly funny drug
trip scene featuring a pair of snake-headed
parents dancing to the late Rick James’
“Superfreak” to a desperate plea from a
baby substitute melon, the film contains
amazing visuals that when combined with
a great mix of pop hits will be sure to reso
nate with an MTV generation. The use of
different film speeds, unusual angles, and
breakneck-speed jump cut editing all work
together to craft a fast-paced experience

fantry Division said his troops
and their Iraqi allies would re
gain control of Samarra before
Iraq’s general election expect
ed in January.
Maj. Gen. John Batiste said he
was confident that a combination
of diplomacy, U.S. aid and Army
intimidation would persuade the
city’s 500 insurgents to give up.
Otherwise, he said, the Ameri
cans would use force.
However, Gen. Richard My
ers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, acknowledged that it
could be months before U.S. and
Iraqi authorities are prepared to
take those cities back.
During the Sadr City fight
ing, U.S. warplanes flew over
the sprawling neighborhood
—home to some 2 million peo
ple. American tanks deployed in
key intersections. Ambulances
with sirens wailing rushed the
wounded to hospitals as plumes
of heavy, black smoke rose over
the mainly Shiite neighborhood.
U.S. forces appeared to be
carrying out most, if not all, of
the fighting.
