Nothing brings people together quite like a dirty movie.
National Lampoon has partnered with Flim Flam Films, the production company behind its forthcoming "National Lampoon's Dirty Movie," to distribute three more Flim Flam comedies during the next 18 months.
Flim Flam is run by Jerry Daigle and Alan Donnes, who will write and co-produce the first film of the deal, "Snatched," about a man who suffers an unfortunate but hilarious mishap during surgery. Daigle also will produce.
Lampoon and Flim Flam developed "Dirty Movie" jointly before Lampoon last week agreed to distribute the sketch-comedy feature. The film was Daigle's directorial debut, and Donnes co-wrote and co-produced it. The results fostered the expanded partnership.
"National Lampoon gave me a shot with the '(National Lampoon) Radio Hour,' and I'm so happy to have a home here," Donnes said. "I've been a devoted fan of National Lampoon as far back as I can remember. And even better, now I don't have to pay for any of their DVDs. Seriously, there's no better place for a Flim Flam Film than National Lampoon."
Added Tom Daniels, Lampoon's head of distribution: "This relationship is exactly what we look for as we have aggressively grown our National Lampoon library over the past 18 months. This will give us a constant and consistent flow of quality film projects along with the associated revenue stream. We are always on the lookout for fun, exciting projects to fill our pipeline as we have greatly expanded our domestic and international film distribution channels."...

AUSTIN -- Part allegory, part time capsule, Michael Almereyda's New Orleans, Mon Amour is heartfelt but in some ways as flimsy as a FEMA trailer. High-def production values and an experimental aesthetic limit its potential to small Art House runs at best, with straight-to-video more likely.
Shot mostly in summer 2006, the thin story offers a pair of ex-lovers who, unsurprisingly given that their surnames are Jekyll (Christopher Eccleston) and Hyde (Elisabeth Moss), were disastrous together during their relationship's first spin. Now he's a doctor trying to tolerate reintegration into New Orleans' society scene, and she's volunteering with a group of anti-establishment do-gooders.
The couple's reconnection affords a scene or two of soul-searching pillow talk about Katrina (making some sense of the title's allusion to Hiroshima Mon Amour) and supplies some apt metaphors of wreckage and reconstruction. But the movie's nature -- with its improvised-sounding dialogue and sometimes clumsy camerawork, feels more like a sketch than a feature -- suggests it's as much of an excuse to tour through recent devastation as it is a piece of storytelling, following bicycling protagonists as they survey uprooted trees and desolate neighborhoods.
With other filmmakers having done strong work in that department already, "New Orleans, Mon Amour's" tentative stabs at poetry aren't very compelling.
