Matt Riddlehoover is the ultra narcissitic Jonathan Barrows in Watch Out. We start with Jonathan’s bizarre teen years and his parents trying to get him to lose his virginity to a woman (while they film it) and we then follow him to a job interview at a community college where he’s trying to get a teaching job he feels is beneath him. His self absorption (he finds only himself to be sexually attractive) leads him further and futher into conflict with an offbeat world in the small town he’s visiting. Eventually, we learn of his more murderous side as he kills off those he sees as having wronged him. Lots of skin from Riddlehoover , but sometimes the narration and pacing made me wish they’d just get on with things. A brief cameo from Peter Stickles as one of a couple Jonathan Barrows meets and offends in the town’s seafood restaurant.
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Y Tu Mama Tambien follows Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael García Bernal) best friends who spend time flirting with an older married woman who ends up calling their bluff to take her to a fabulous beach. A beach neither boy knows how to find. The three take off in a battered old car and miraculously come across a beach that’s close enough. The three develop an offbeat relationship but things come to an end when the guys finally get a little too intimate with one another for their own comfort.
