THE BATTALiJue IT
in
"Garage Days'
DVD
Starring Kick
Gurry
Fox Searchlight
BAGt
ROBERT SAUCEDO
It’s fitting that a movie about a would-be
rock band would have all the depth and profun
dity of a music video. “Garage Days” is a pretty
film to look at, featuring a kaleidoscope of vi
sual effects and unusual editing techniques, but
the plot lacks the substance it needs to elevate
itself beyond the cute flick it becomes. It may
be a shallow film with more emphasis on visu
als than story, but it is for that exact reason it
becomes highly entertaining and thus, like most
music videos, highly re-watchable.
Freddy (Kick Gurry) has dreams of gran
deur for his band. He fantasizes of 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 sub
urb 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 his dream
when he meets the manager of Australia’s most
popular band.
On the verge of a possible breakout for the
band, Freddy must struggle to prevent his band
from breaking up due to internal conflict. Infi
delity 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 Gothic 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 creating
memorable images that, once inserted into your
mind, do not leave.
“Garage Days” is filled with many similar
images, in fact, that with each subsequent view
ing, more will be discovered. From a bizarre
and wickedly funny drug trip scene featuring
a pair of snake-headed parents dancing ttj
late Rick James’ “Superfreak,” to a desp;i
plea from a baby substitute melon, thefilnu
tains amazing visuals that, when combinedi
a great mix of pop hits, will be sure tori
nate with an MTV generation. The use ef
ferent film speeds, unusual angles and b'J^ na P
neck-speed jump cut editing all work toge» rncIlcaI '
to craft a fast-paced experience that will le®d on ^
audiences smiling.
The actors are all easily likeable, butu i' ^ a ^ 11
Innately, their characters never evolve aw creasin ^
an inoffensive cliche. There’s the tough cW eenl ^ at
bass player, the perpetually high wild andcij )arsa ^ ie !
drummer, the mentally disturbed suicidal(1'
groupie lead guitarist, and a stumbling, 111
bling mess of a manager. ■ ces '' 0

hard to do anything but enjoy watching’® ntracts
jab and verbally stab each other while stj

stolen lovers and infidelity. (Plus, it’sal»l ^ ea:

ble of extras that won’t offer tO'

that offer no question as to why

interviews from the cast and ere
real insight beyond the usual j
tory applause one finds on DVD intervie\
a never-ending montage of outtakes feat
collection of minor goofs that cause the
to crack up.
