Clay Pigeons | Year: 1998 Classification: Drama Directed: - David Dobkin Actors/Actresses: - Janeane Garofalo - Joaquin Phoenix - Ridley Scott - Vince Vaughn - Georgina Cates - Gregory Sporleder Fate goes 'round and 'round Let's see how the bodies pile up. One is shot. One shoots himself. One is stabbed. No, make that 7 are stabbed. Nope again........a lot more are stabbed. That's right. There is a lot of young and beautiful women being killed. But who killed them? Was it Clay Pigeons (Joaquin Phoenix is superb): stoic, ethical, quiet, and ...? Was is "Lester the Molester" (played so keenly and to utter perfection by Vince Vaugh): charming, lady-magnet, polite, yet deadly? You can ask the dominant, playful, ultra-spunky FBI agent who smokes pot. Or, you can ask the slow-witted and sleepy deputy sheriff who is so very funny in his ineptness. But better yet; why don't you just buy the DVD? This is a perfect movie. It's a thriller/comedy that is set in rural Montana in a town inhabited by the sly, the young, the corrupt, and the innocent. I love this movie and highly recommend it for the acting, the storyline, and the comedy. clay pigeons flies like an eagle Although he didn't get an oscar nod for his role as Lester Long, vince Vaughn shouldn't have been overlooked for his creepy but likeable role as A serial killer in Clay Pigeons. Likewise overlooked was comedian Janeane Garofalo who helps hold up the movie by following Vaughn's lead. Joaqin Phoenix and Georgina Cates also have strong roles as the ill fated lovers whom Vaughn's character comes between. Produced by Ridley and Tony Scott Clay Pigeons is A movie that may have been overlooked in theaters, but will hopefully find the audience it deserves on video. When Joaquin was the lesser of two Phoenixes Maybe I was smoking something when commercials for this flick first came out, but I thought it was marketed as a comedy. This is not a comedy. Unless you want to call it a "black comedy" which basically means violence and murder and sex for no reason is funny or absurd. I didn't like this movie at all. None of the characters are likable and the story is unbelievable. This isn't a sleeper, a cult movie, or an art movie. Its just a bad movie. If you want to see an "exploration of violence" type movie, go watch Kalifornia instead. You have been warned.
