wow really? I thought Behind The Mask was really well done.
|
Behind the Mask was surprisingly good.
|
I would say that 1 out of 50 movies that TRY actually succeed at mixing horror and comedy -- Behind The Mask is a good horror movie, that has tons of like elbow-to-the-ribs of slasher fans. PLUS the idea of making it a documentary and then BAM turning it INTO a slasher movie (changing even teh LOOK of the film it's being shot on itself) was brilliant.

I'll give it another go.

Director's Notes
One of the main purposes for me in making “Saturn Returns” was to investigate contemporary multi-culturalism in a central western city, and to use the relations between the people portrayed in the film in order to ask whether what we conceive of as “inter-cultural” only disguises what has already become one global social-class system. Is there only one culture, one system, or are there still multiple cultures?If this centralized system of multi-culturism exists, it would naturally assist maintaining a political economic status quo in the guise of multi-culturalism. However, other groups or individuals, that we would first imagine were only victims of this system, can use it too, as a tool. For example, immigrants trumpeting traditional values and reactionary ideals in order to better assimilate in their new environment or in order to free themselves from the rules of a system that does not seek their benefit. Berlin, as the main setting for this story, brings its own troubled history into the mix, both as the home-base of one of the greatest “culturally” motivated crimes in history, and as it was immediately afterwards controlled by two opposite economic and political systems that co-existed for almost half a century. These histories, un-functional shadows of value systems, are the broken tools befitting scattered peoples, who lost their self-proclaimed persona. These are the people that are portrayed in this film. |
The Player rules. I love Robert Altman. That opening 9 minute shot or whatever, in one take.. one of the greatest ever.
I've just been watching Duckman. |

Watched The Omen. Funny how not scary it is by today's standards. Still, my wife and I were played for several months by a nanny/babysitter who wanted to steal our son or become my wife or some such insanity. So seeing the crazy suicidal nanny and then the evil Satan nanny struck a chord. If the movie were made today, I'm sure the husband would sleep with the young suicidal one before she hung herself. That'd actually be more true to life...

I love The Omen. Have you seen any of the sequels?

![]() 7/10. quite the epic film here. It was one of my fiancee's fave films when she was growing up. ![]() 10/10 One of my fave movies growing up. I have no idea the kind of u[proar assholes would raise in this day and age of a movie shopwing a 12 year old who smokes constantly, rides a motorcycle with an 11 year old girl and no helmet and has an old man who cusses at them and gives them beers. I never saw the billy bob travesty./ |
