A Ghoul Versus Spring Breakers

"Dueling Movies: The Bling Ring Vs. Spring Breakers!"

Click here for The Bling Ring review!

This is going to be a fun one!  And by fun, I mean "this movie is likely going to be worse than a box of chocolates full of angry killer bees".  Spring Breakers is technically the major league debut of writer/director Harmony Korine, an “avant garde” film maker who loves his shock value. LOVES IT. Loves it more than Zack Snyder loves slow motion or JJ Abrams loves lens flares.

His films often specialize in depicting the broken lives of young people living below the poverty level and the horrible, horrible actions they carry out. But since he's “avant garde”, he always does bizarre film techniques and features disturbingly grotesque imagery... almost ALWAYS for he sake of being bizarre and grotesque.
