Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A_Different_Drummer Regular film goers conditioned to the excess of Hollywood may be forgiven for forgetting that the point of film is to allow an artist to entertain via his skills and creativity, and ONLY those skills and creativity.I cannot in good conscience (after about 1200 reviews here) think of a film that more clearly embodies that idea. As I understand it, the artiste spent on this film less than what an agent in Hollywood gets to simply negotiate one single deal.The writing, the humor, the music, the occasional stream of consciousness, the cinematography (all the music bits, and also the Freejumping scene, and the "Asia infant spy program" bit) all scream ... Genius.I also liked the no-segue comment on Olympic Volleyball, it reveals the kind of mind we are dealing with.Was thoroughly entertained except for the scenes with Beefy. While I fully understand that films like this require "making use of all parts of the chicken" to create economic ecology, you have to consider that the viewer "invests" his or her time in each moment watching, and Beefy is simply not charismatic enough to justify that investment. Otherwise, brilliant. Totally brilliant.

kiwimass Creative, original, and hysterically funny, I Am a Knife With Legs tells the story of Bené, an international rock superstar hiding from assassins in a Los Angeles condo with his manager, Beefy. Bennett Jones writes, directs, and stars in this weird comedy. It's hard to describe. The characters discuss their feelings, talk about dessert, and break into song at the drop of a hat. Jones, who also writes and performs all the songs and crafted the animation, has great comedic timing, a way with words, and a dry wit. I laughed my head off. See this if you can. Bennett Jones performed at the screening and cracked me up. It's good to know independent film lives. This éclair is weird.

david-736-818091 A whirling tour de force, I Am a Knife with Legs is writer/director/actor/producer/editor/everything Bennett Jones' uncompromisingly awesome peek into the tortured soul and psyche of international pop star Bene. Hiding out from fanatical assassins (aka the SSN), he's holed up in a Los Angeles apartment with his manager/bodyguard/best friend, Beefy. Shot over several years on a shoestring budget, the film is daringly original and jam-packed with big laughs, crazy songs, visual panache, and esoteric jokes. If you have an off-kilter sense of humor and love to, you know... just get weird -- this is the film for you.
