Oh yes it's awesome.

I'm not usually into manga-stuff yaknow, but that one is incredible.

one of my favorite movies.

screan1, from dusk til dawn, and mod squad(remake).

Probably seen this a hundred times but it still makes me laugh.

C.H.U.D.: 6/10
Sgt. Rutledge: 8/10
Persepolis: 8/10

Dave's not here man...

Jarmusch's Year of the horse.

Rather disappointing, worth seeing for the amazing 1978 version of "Like a hurricane" though.

Is this any good? They keep showing ads for this before every Monster Madness video over on Cinemassacre.

It's ok, nothing special but it kept me entertained and was a reasonably funny alien/hoody/horror/comedy. I'd give it 7/10 maybe.

Shutter Island blows

with all the talk of bjork the other day (i forget which thread) i decided to finally watch this:



von trier is a fucking sentimental sadist. this was a bit fucking much. okay, i get it, you want to fuck musicals upside down and make dreadful things happen, but this was over the top. bjork was fucking great though as a part-retard creature, her little piglet face under those big glasses. she was brilliant.

the rest of the casting left much to be desired-- catherine deneuve as a factory worker? really? doesn't fit the type. a swede playing an american for wannabe boyfriend? come on. everybody had a fucking accent here, which takes away from the story. and i guess it's okay because the story is a fucking shameless manipulation.

also, all the talk of cronenberg got me rewatching this:



well, fuck, that was fucking great. the nc-17 version restores nipple and crotch shots where they rightfully belong. great fucking movie. it's a difficult one, and i need to see it again. DVD comes without commentary so you can find the criterion laserdisc mp3 on the interwebs.

^Von Trier sucks.

Currently watching on TV:

Quite entertaining, definitely from the 80's, it seems to have all of those staples. I think they wasted a little too much time with the Brenda character and the police in general, both of which are completely unnecessary to the plot and go absolutely nowhere. It's a shame too because the rest of the immortals and their exposition could really have used some more fleshing out. Sean Connery was badass though.

Since it partly takes place on Halloween, and I just really like this movie. Not the director's cut though.

Wrong Turn 4, it was pretty good. I like em. :)

Halloween state of mind.... recently watched:

1. Exte Hair Extensions- more perverted (but great) cinema from Sion Sono
2. Haunting of Julia- mid 70's psychological thriller with Mia Farrow
3. Prince of Darkness- Carpenter's most under appreciated film? I think so...
4. House of the Devil- quickly becoming a Halloween tradition


non halloween- Martha Marcy May Marlene, one of the best films I've seen yet this year
