like I said, never saw DG. Just noted that critics compared the two. But it's easy to say that any movie that involves a couple on murder spree has a Starkweather-influence be it NBK, True Romance, hell even Wild At Heart probably to a degree.

I've seen two larry clark movies, and I really liked both of them.
Another day in paradise had James Woods playing sleaze like only james woods can, not to mention it was just a cool movie.
Wassup rockers, though not for everybody, really connected with me because of how real it was. I knew those kids, I used to hang out with them. Its a very realistic document of latino skater culture.

I watched a few documentaries over the weekend


Rivers & Tides
 

doc about andy goldsworthy's art, which he creates in nature. fucking awesome and meditative
10/10


 

When You're Strange. Documentary with a ton of rare footage of the Doors from early on to the end. Narrated by Johnny Depp. Liked it a lot. Huge Doors fan since way back.
9/10.


 

Steven Wright: When The Leaves Blow You Away
10/10. hilarious as always, and appende with a 35 minute short film in B+W ,surreal and hilarious.


 

Alex Grey: Chapel of Sacred Mirrors
Quite the new age vision, but the art is fucking amazing and insane and the ideas behiond the museum, to make people explore their own inner space of the body, is interesting. The high power techno beats get old though (don;t they always?)
8/10

Dunno how to rate it, will have to watch it again.


I just want to see that movie for Art Bell. He's probably only in it for a minute.

that looks good i love the doors

Rob Instigator 07.27.2010 04:07 PM

It was great. talked a lot about their early days.

How Krieger had only been in one rock band before, and had played spanish flamenco guitar for his whole life before the doors.
How Densmore was so bad-ass, keeping the beat without the aid of a bassist, and being a lifelong jazz drummer. (jazz drummers got all the fucking beats)

lots of cool early behind the scenes, home movie type footage.

5/10

noisereductions 07.27.2010 06:40 PM

^I still gotta see that. Not so great?

Dr. Eugene Felikson 07.27.2010 07:35 PM

It's alright. Sasha Grey is the best thing about it though.

Exactly. Not only is she great to look at, but she puts in an amazing performance as well. The main problem with this movie is both the uneventful screenplay and Soderbergh's all too self aware direction. its like he was trying way too hard to make this an arthouse kind of movie, and it shows. It doesn't really deliver on either level one would want it to, those being as erotica or as indie-film making. That's not to say its a complete waste... Sasha Grey lovers will enjoy it simply for her spellbinding presence, but other than her there's not much here worth talking about.

atsonicpark 07.27.2010 08:25 PM

Soderbergh... I like Bubble, Schizopolis, and Sex, Lies okay but everything else is pretty meh.

Just watch Ms. GRey's "I DIG EM IN PIGTAILS" scene instead..

Again Mr.Cooley we agree, even kafka is great to. The girlfriend exprience was just to gimmicky for mine taste. Miss Grey is a above averege actor it's the shame the script is quite basic and all the hype around the move was just her doing a no-porno. Kind of sad.
