Two Quickies: "Mutants" and "12" . . . .

"Mutants" - Bless the French and their respect for horror. They can take the same Hollywood story line and give you the exact outcome but do so by taking you to a different place with a different state of mind while recording it with top art direction and cinematography. How many ingenious "Night of the Living Deads" can be produced? How to redo something so banal? Hand it over to the French. They will add close personal relationships, love, fear, tension, and people who can act to bring it all together in a different way. If we were to confine the film industry to one product per country I would give France horror.

"12" - Or, "Upper East Side Worst Brat". This Schumacher film tells the story of a circle of Trust Fund Trash who live to party and show out at all costs to their parents and each other. The film is closely narrated by Keifer Sutherland who, as a neutral party, keeps us abreast of all the characters and their motives. White Mike is one of the locally accepted drug dealers to this crowd who is accepted as a peripherally necessary character because of his trade. Through his story we see the dysfunctional prep school perps playing their games and witness the sad ends of White Mike's associates. This film is beautifully filmed with mostly unknown faces and seems more credible than Bret Easton Ellis' work on the decadence of society. If you live in the Hamptons or the UES you might find out what your kids are up to while your away on the yacht--but you probably don't care in the first place.
