TEENAGE WASTELAND
Evan Rachel Wood, who I think will be the current teen star to have the most substantive film career, has the pretty terrible Pretty Persuasion opening this weekend, but if you’re a fan I’d head over to Crooks and Liars where they are hosting a Sammy Bayer/Green Day video, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. With classic Aerosmith and Nirvana videos, Bayer has made a career of glossily capturing the American teen experience. Here he does it again with Wood and Jamie Bell playing out a drama that is a new reality for many of today’s kids.
