Jandek on Corwood (2003) 9/10 < I need to get some of his early stuff, after seeing this.
Atonement (2007) 7/10 Grizzly Man (2005) 6/10 < Treadwell was an idiot. Zoo (2007) 9/10 < Beautiful and haunting all at the same time. Also, the soundtrack is perfect. |

I mentioned this flick before because I watch it a couple of times a year:
The God of Cookery written, directed, and starring Stephen Chow. The greatest comedy film ever conceived by the mind of man. (apologies to the tag line of the Mysterians)

I've probably seen this more times than should be allowable by law for someone my age.

I absolutely love Stephen Chow, I need to see more.
body parts - 7/10 Very cronenberg-influenced, surprisingly well-made and exciting the whole time. I thought as soon as dude found out he had the arm of a killer's, it'd just be him killing people or whatever but it ended up taking a few exciting directions. |

Yeah Rob..
It's weird, I actively search out really gory or trashy or bizarre/experimental films....... but there's nothing like going back to stuff like Babe, Home Alone, Dutch, all those films I loved when I was younger. |

Whoa - I was just reading a bit about Lauren Bacall because of this post - and it turns out she's first cousins with Shimon Peres.

What did you think of this. I have friends recommending me to see both versions?

Well, it's a shot-by-shot remake of the original, BY the original director. SO in a way you only need to see one or the other.
I thought it was excellent. It was realistic, disturbing and yet had a very good use of social commentary as well as sort of pointed injokes at fans of so-called "torture-porn." Stylistically, it's great. Wide shots, stationary cameras, no music create a realistic feel... then all the sudden the "fourth wall" is broken for a moment. (you'll see). And all the acting was great (no surprises there, great cast). See it. |
