Very fun, and creepy character study/thriller. David Hyde Pierce's performance is immaculate. I had no clue his acting chops were so sturdy. The writing does crumble a bit in the third act, however, which is a shame. But the buildup is strong, and even genuinely unnerving at times. A great "the less you know the better" type of film. Overall, I think it is most definitely worth a watch on Netflix, especially if you're as big of a Frasier fan as I am.

And a woman scientist? Please!

that dude in the beginning was prometheus the titan, he destroyed himself to eventually create humans and that is why the other guys want to destroy the humans. essentially that aspect of the plot is ridley scott's take on the greek myth regarding prometheus and the creation of man.

Before tonight I hadn't watched this since it first came out on video (1995ish?).
I was surprised how much I liked it.

 

Earlier I went to see this at the cinema:

2 years ago at my last job my boss (he has pretty good taste, he's a Deadhead) and I were discussing my love for Juliette Lewis and he asked if I had seen Kalifornia, and I hadn't so he told me to watch it. I watched it a couple weeks later, I instantly fell in love with, and just now rewatched it. He never told me David Duchovny was in it! Growing up in to 90's watching X-Files, and I had mad manlove for David, still do! So that there is a one two punch. Seems like a solid film forgotten in the waste of the 90's. Duchovny's opposite played by Michelle Forbes, seals the film as a untouchable combination of skill along side Pitt and Lewis. Pitt is one the few mainstream actors that can always cook up a great character and breathe life into them, and his white trash tailerpark trash is one best white trash tailerpark trash characters in the history of film. Lots of laughs and great dialogue between, my love, Juliette Lewis. Not such mind bending plot and anything to outlandish but its delivery is fresh, with it coming from the stellar cast makes for a really great film.

Beyond The Black Rainbow.

HIGHEST recommendation.
I saw it at a tiny 30-seat specialty theater here in town, and it was easily the best newer movie I have seen in about five years. Totally perfectly stylized genre-fuck amazement. Equal parts Altered States, Kenneth Anger, Clockwork Orange and Unarius, with a great Goblin/Tangerine Dream worshipping soundtrack. See it. See it now.

Wow, never heard of that one but your description of it presses all manner of buttons for me. Definitely one for my must see list. Awesome.

I just read a review saying it should be "avoided like the plague". I'm even more desperate to see it now.

[dale_gribble]
