Review of Howl (2010) by Kevin B — 07 Mar 2011
The probability that I would have rated this film anything but 5-stars was as remote as the probability that David Koch has an honestly charitable molecule in his body. First, it stars James Franco. Second, it's about The Beats whom I adore. Third, Gus Van Sant was an executive producer.
'Howl' has a Who's Who cast beyond the aforementioned Mr Hottest Man In This Dimension. There's Mary-Louise Parker, Bob Balaban, Jeff Daniels, David Strathairn, and a very well-rounded-out ensemble of players. The story is told in an interesting fashion with animation, live action, and...did I mention James Franco?
Since you've probably already figured out where this review is headed, I'll stop here. It is a wonderful film, though. (And it has James Franco in it!).
