Kaboom – Gregg Araki


I have to say this is one of the best movies I have ever seen! Alright, the ending might have gone a little bit too far, but who cares? Don’t take it too serious, that’s what the whole movie is about! We are so uptight. It’s a wake up call for those who are working 9-5, all so routine-ish, to let loose. Enjoy the ride and have some fun! Like you were young!


At the end the lead Smith (Thomas Dekker) might be just still hallucinating after eating that cracked cookie at the party. Either way, it both works for me, no matter it is really a ridiculous sci-fi or a “teenage dream”, I still enjoyed this whole experience.


“You are the chosen SON.”


One thing for sure, teens are a bit paranoid. I’m not talking about how Smith was all over the missing red hair girl but his best friend Stella (Haley Bennett). I just love how the movie lightly penetrate the idea of people not only adolescents love to exaggerate things in their lives. It sarcastically made her girlfriend Lorelei a witch! That’s intriguing. How obsessive teens are with the whole paranormal genre. I love the scene which Stella breaks up with Lorelei and Lorelei is on her kneels crying, stuff flying around the room and the wind is coming from everywhere. One more thing, people tend not to have the nerve to strike up a conversation but they do dare to scream at you. How amusing!


“If A fucked B, B fucked C, it’s like A fucked C.”


How causal sex is for teens nowadays! Even with your roommate sleeping just right next to your bed? Seriously? Though, I found the “surprise” London (Juno Temple) dropped to Smith pretty inviting! You can pick up somebody at a bar, at a beach, or at lunch?! And there is no mind playing just cut to the trace and ask, “Do you want to fuck anyway?”


“Straight guys are gayer than the gay guys, the fact they are in love but can’t suck each other dicks, makes them queerer than Clay Aiken.”


I don’t know whether all gays like to fancy straight guys are gay, but if I were Smith I would think Thor his roommate is gay too!! There is no way straight guys would wrestle in their underwear, have their flip-flops ordered by colour and want to give themselves a blowjob? We are really living in a super-confusing world! So stop stereotyping!


This is not a ridiculous movie, it has little of everything, comedy, thriller, drama, sci-fi, action (if you know what I mean). Haven’t laughed so hard for so long! And it remains me to just constantly checking whether I’m in the “up-tight mood” or not. Just breathe and relax.
