Richard Linklater gains my respect

The moment the credits were finishing rolling on my rented vhs copy of TAPE last night, I immediately rewound it and watched the movie through til the end a second time. It's that good. With this experimental and brilliantly realized piece, Richard Linklater proves he's no 'slacker' but rather a cunning force to be reckoned with in the movie world.

Based on a play by Stephen Belber which takes place in one room with only 3 characters, you will either love or hate this movie; it's an all-or-nothing proposition, plain and simple. I recommend you get your hands on it (hey, it's available in that new-fangled dvd format now!), get extremely, ahem, relaxed, and find out which category it falls in for you.
