Alien at the Movies

It's "America's Next Top Model" on "Cutthroat Island" when the beautiful & sweet but naive 16-year-old Jesse (Elle Fanning) seems to be on the fast track to modeling stardom. From the ominous opening photo shoot scene, the audience feels that this poor newcomer or fresh meat is in certain trouble. We just don't know whether it will come from the new boy she just met or from the suspicious makeup girl (Jenna Malone) or from the other jealous models or from the sleazy motel owner (Keanu Reeves) or maybe from all of the above. In order to find out though, you must endure a extremely slow-paced, annoyingly & awkwardly artistic, seemingly pointless plot. Not sure whether this film should be classified as a thriller, a horror flick, or soft porn. If you dare watch this movie, brace yourself for at least two surprising shockers. At times, the movie seems so bad that it is funny. After viewing this film, you'll never look at fashion models the same again. The title makes as much sense as the movie. Art for art's sake does not make a film.
