Looking For Eric,
really loved it, the "mix" of different emotions/storylines (kinda) is pretty neat.

Shock Corridor is a really good movie.

"I rymden finns inga känslor" some swedish movie about a guy with asbergers syndrome who lives with his brother and tries to find him a new girlfriend. I liked it.

Inception......

TAPE.

2001.

Linklater film with 3 actors in one room. Pretty interesting for what it is, couldn't see myself ever watching it again. 5/10

It started out like it might be pretty good, but it went downhill fast.

It was good. Nothing spectacular.

"winter's bone" was really cool. cooler than i thought itd be admittedly.

just watched "mesrine: killer instinct", the first of three films with vincent cassel playing jacques mesrine, internationally famous criminal. fucking awesome. some people have compared it to "scarface" but i dont see that at all, other than the protagonist being a violent sociopath scumbag. vincent is just amazing in this role, in every scene. the style is fairly michael mann-ish, less excess maybe. anyways, cassel is easily one of the best actors working. he is so good at making the character likeable without making him sympathetic. i cant wait to see the next two parts.

Man's Voice: Hello mother leopard, I have your cub. You must protect her...but that will be expensive. 10 thousand cola nuts wrapped in brown paper. Midnight, behind the box. I'll be the Hyena...you'll see...

I love that "I'll be the Hyena" part..because...(what i think) is that when she sees him or he sees her. he'll be the one laughing...as hyena's have a tendancy to "sound" like they are laughing while they eat...or in this matter the guy has done something horribly wrong to the cub..or he has some devious plot and is snickering about it

Memento



7/10 Joey Pants and Carrie Moss are pretty good in this one.

weird, rewatched that one with old lady last week. 7/10 sounds about right. Certainly thinks it's more clever than it actually is. The part where he puts on the guy's suit is stupid.
(SPOILER"I'd rather be mistaken for a dead guy than a murderer.. so I'm just going to start wearing this dead drug dealer's clothes and his car for no apparent reason except to drive the plot forward"END SPOILER)

On the other hand, Nolan's "Following" is a 9/10 great film. His "Insomnia" remake is -- gasp -- probably a wee bit better than the original.


We watched:

TIME COP - 5/10
BLOODSPORT - 8/10
PERFUME - 7/10

and rewatched the Banksy doc, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP, which is up there with AMERICAN MOVIE and STREETWISE and BURROUGHS as the best documentaries I've EVER seen. Check out EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP even if you're not into street art or graffiti or whatever. You'll be shocked at how amazing it is.

We also went to a pawn shop and I got SHINOBI and YAKUZA and WIPEOUT FUSION and another copy of LUMINES (like with Puzzle Fighter and Tetris Attack, I own multiple copies cuz the games are so good that I don't want to ever NOT have a copy). All for PS2. I bought her Pikmin for the WIi. I spent $22. Not a bad haul.

other great stuff i watched recently:

monkey dust


had never heard of this weird, awesome show.




tom green show (mtv version). Okay, I have had the canadian version of the show for 4 years, but I'm a completionist so I had to have the mtv show. Now, the first 3 or 4 episodes mostly recycle some of his Canadian skits -- mainly the less bizarre ones and moreso the antagonistic ones (you know, generally seeming to piss people off). He recycles skits in New yrok he originally filmed in Canada in some spots; other spots, he just shows the Canadian footage (his hair changes 20 times per episode -- strange I never noticed that before!). Eventually, the show becomes completely different and just as good as the Canadian stuff, especially the Monica Lewinsky stuff, the Cancer special (the guy sent me 2 copies of this episode for sme reason, one on a separate disc...?!), the Spring Break stuff, and so on. For some reason, he didn't edit out commercials from the original airings, which is AWESOME.


CHARLES MANSON SUPERSTAR... look, this is 2 hours of Manson ranting to Anton LaVey's son-in-law. Manson makes fun of the prison guards that are standing right htere. Manson impromptu dances and sings songs while beating on a trash can. Manson contradicts himself, interrupts himself (?!), and just generally acts like a fucking nutcase. A lot of what he says is dead-on, most of it is pretty obvious, and he just comes across as missing quite a few brain cells, but what can you do? Most Manson documentaries only offer a fleeting glimpse of the man himself, or don't really seem to be ABOUT Manson, moreso about the "mythical" nature of the killings. I still contend MANSON (1973) is the best Manson doc, you gotta get that one. but if you want to see a pretty much unfiltered 2 hours of the guy ranting, here ya go. Fascinating stuff, strangely not been seen by many people, if you believe imdb and netflix.... PENDERECKI on the soundtrack, btw.


OJ SIMPSON: THE INTERVIEW

Another strangely little-seen 3 hour film that is extremely EXTREEMYL fascinating. Simpson is grilled about the murders. Simspon ends up looking a looooooooooooooooooot more guilty than he already looked. Wow. I highly reccomend this one. It's all done in real time. Fascinating as hell stuff right here, and it wa spulled from the market pretty damn quickly. I have it on dVD now... after it not being available for a long long time.

Great madtv parody of the whole thing.. surprisingly dead on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0aAE6ie7bM

Think i'm going to read the book first, looks good.
