Mary Harron's feature--which picked up a Special Jury Award at the 1996 Sundance Film ... more
Festival for lead actress and independent film mainstay Lili Taylor--is a highly suspect mishmash of golly-gee counterculture reconstruction and inflammatory agitprop. Harron re-creates the ultimately violent relationship of motor-mouth street freak writer-prostitute-lesbian-gun-wielding assailant Valerie Solanas (Taylor) and pop artist Andy Warhol (Jared Harris) in the late 1960s, which ended in Solanas's assault on Warhol for his charmingly noncommittal responses to her search for a patron. It's a great idea for a film, butI Shot Andy Warholis truly at odds with itself. Harron's modular construction of the story--part naive re-enactment of the instant-celebrity life at Warhol's studio, part celebration of Solanas's subversive ramblings, part investigation into the roots of her hyper-victimisation at, apparently, the hands of all men--is ultimately a shell game that allows the writer-director to avoid taking a clear stand on Solanas's bizarro politics. The cast is the only draw here: besides indie-film queen Taylor, Jared Harris makes for a convincingly cagey Warhol.--Tom Keogh

The Look.
When it arrived, I was pleased that the gift wrapping enabled me to open the iPod Touch to have a look at it and a play with it before my girlfriends birthday!
I was very impressed with how the iPod Touch looked when I first got it out of the box. It was slimmer than I had expected it to be and felt like the perfect size and weight in my hand. The screen is a 3.5 inch colour display and the rest of the ipod front face is shiny black with only one actual 'button' which is centred at the bottom of the front face of the ipod touch and serves as the main menu button. The back face of the ipod touch is silver and works pretty well as a mirror so could be useful to check out your makeup! This is the face, which has the engraving on it if you chose that option. ...
Advantages: great camera, big screen, good connectivity, value for money Disadvantages: very bulky, problems with phone freezing up
For the money spent, you get a vast amount of features. What I like about the phone and the primary reason I bought a k800i is the camera. Its 3.2 mega pixels, which isnt much by todays standards but its the design that impressed me. It feels more like a phone built into a camera rather than a poor camera in a phone as is the case with most phones. Theres a flash too which is a must have. The screen is big and bright and the battery holds a good charge, Ive had four days use out of mine from a single charge. Other nice features include bluetooth, infrared, decent phone memory with M2 expansion video capture and mp3 player.
On the downside this phone is bulky and the sliding lens cover on the back constantly gets caught in your pocket. The only other problem i have had is for the phone to occasionaly freeze or for the keypad to become ...
Advantages: Strong and robust, with a great range of quality features and battery life. Disadvantages: Aside from the bulky design, the lense cover for the camera can cause minor annoyance
If you're looking for a strong and robust phone, with a range of good quality features the K800i is just for you.
I picked up this model whilst in desperate need of a new phone, after breaking my previous Ericsson, and on the recommendation of my girlfriend. The phone at the time of purchase (August 2008) cost around £60.
Upon first impressions I was unsure about the relatively bulky nature of the model, but had decided to purchase it regardless of this out of pure necessity. Whilst the model had previously been rather stylish upon release, at the time of purchase it was beginning to look increasingly out of date. Yet whilst the appearance of the phone did little to impress me, the quality of features, and the ease with which it can be used, coupled with impressive overall reliability have won me over to the K800i.
The phone is ...
Mary Harron (AMERICAN PSYCHO) transports New York to a pre-feminist, late 1960s, Andy Warhol art scene in this stylistically inflammatory flick that harkens back to such films as BORN IN FLAMES. Lili Taylor plays the angry Valerie Solanas with a vengeance that just won't quit. Solanas is mad. She's a manic spitfire, has hell to raise, and is armed with the SCUM MANIFESTO. Encouraged by Warhol's queerly noncommittal attitude, Solanas is convinced he will produce her play UP YOUR ASS. Between writing and turning tricks at the Chelsea Hotel, she meets Maurice Girodias, famous publisher of writers like William S. Burroughs, Jean Genet and Pauline Reage. Intrigued by her subversive quality, he signs a contract with her for the completion of two novels. When Solanas realises she's signed the rights over to Girodias, she begins to unravel and sets out on a paranoid mission to stop him and Warhol from controlling her life. Harron's film is a manifesto. Stylistically adventurous, this indie romp is a smart and sassy feminist critique of Andy Warhol's Factory scene. Unlike other films that glamorise it (THE DOORS, BASQUIAT), I SHOT ANDY WARHOL exposes the subtle misogyny that is just barely veiled under all the glamour.
Ambitious and absorbing....A solid, impressive first feature (Los Angeles Times, )
...Enjoyable...Engaging (Sight And Sound, )
An exemplary and dynamic work that goes about as far as a narrative film can in both analyzing a complex personality and portraying a cultural scene (Variety, )
