Gus Van Sant gave us 'Good Will Hunting,' 'Psycho,' and this year's Oscar nominated 'Milk,' but for as much as he's earned a spot as towards the top of the director's totem pole, he sure can make a pile of crap too.
I watched 'Paranoid Park' this weekend because it was filmed in Portland... and I had nothing else to do. As much as I would love to rant on about this flick, the bottom line is that it sucked. The source material was interesting, but the acting and pacing(thus directing) were bottom tier. I don't think I believed a single word that came out of any one of those kid's mouths.
If you're looking for an indie flick to pass the time, look past 'Paranoid Park.'
