It's funny because one of my co-workers who is in to movies said the same thing. I have a thing for alien movies so I guess it was easier for me to sit through it but the final act is well worth the wait. Just great cinema there.

Somebody described this as the Australian Magnolia. No. No it wasn't. That being said I actually did enjoy the film. The acting was good and the story was well written. I just wasn't floored by it. I also ended up thinking the main actor was a prick and that the two women were whores. I couldn't get attached to them at all. Camera work was nice.

6/10

I never got around to seeing this until just now. I like Mike Judge's humor and found this to be somewhat funny. I didn't understand why it got such a bad screen test and was barely marketed. Fox were a bunch of jerks for that one. Judge has made them plenty of money in his career and this film really wasn't that bad. I even laughed during some parts.

6/10

I also watched two of David Lynch's short films, Boat and Absurda. Both were retarded. I'll never say that anything by David Lynch is bad because I respect his mind and attempt at trying new things, but these two just made no sense.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

watched this in Gender Studies last week. it was...interesting to say the least. i found it pretty funny and delightfully cheesy at points, and the way that Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo are playing drag queens throughout the whole thing was pretty silly fun. Even so, the plot was pretty predictable and alot of the characters flat as pancakes, but it was still some lighthearted fun to be had.

Tetsuo: The Bullet Man (2009)
Japan is the only country on this planet that could have produced a movie like this. Sci-fi, video gamish and fairly geeky, this film is also violent, disturbing and weirdly artsy. Imagine what a hybrid of Eraserhead and Akira would be like and you have a pretty good sense of the overall feel. Definitely interesting but I wish the director hadn't chosen to make the movie in English since, for me, all it did was highlight how awful the acting was.

Great movie. I have an appreciation of insanity, if you can call Donnie insane.

I think he grew insane to counter the fact he couldn't save his girlfriend from death. He realized the only way out was death by airplane. I really enjoyed it and the time traveling aspect brought out my inner dork. Don't waste your time with the second film S. DARKO, straight to video and atrocious.

Astonishing true story let down by some atrocious acting and (unusually for me) unnecessary swearing that just didn't sit right with the film. The last half of the film certainly kept me interested but it could have been so much better.

I wasn't expecting much from this film and it turned out that way although it certainly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The slight American twang from all the actors concerned even the British actors annoyed me and when one character asked why he was using the Roman tongue my blood boiled over as they were speaking English which wasn't the Roman language but you have to expect that for a mainstream film unfortunately.

Have to agree with you on Sanctum, it was a huge letdown after reading about it on IMDB. The underwater scenes were pretty great at points, but i came away unimpressed with the movie.

Oh man. Oh man was this bad. Oh man. I hated it. There were so few laughs that this one dragged out forever. The writing was bland and not funny and only a few scenes made me laugh. Ken Marino's scenes and one scene where Paul Rudd is in front of a mirror were the only things to make me laugh. I guess I just don't have what it takes to enjoy modern comedies anymore. Shame. Oh and lots of weeners.

Korean cinema continues to blow my mind after every film. This one was no different. This was the first sci-fi Korean film I've seen and I liked it a lot. Don't expect a hollywood ending in any Korean film though...ever.

I really liked this one. Sam Rockwell was fantastic as always and I actually could stand Drew Barrymore. George Clooney is now one of my favorite people in Hollywood. Amazing actor and a very good director. This one was definitely his best. Loved how he used music in his scenes, especially the ending with Julia Roberts. Great scene.

Kinda want to check out that Korean flick, Save the Green Planet now...

I just finished Santa Sangre, from Alejandro Jodorowsky. It was okay. Not what I was expecting at all. I liked where it ended up but really didn't like how the movie paced for the first 75%.

Guybrush 02-28-2012 12:31 AM

^Me and my wife also saw Santa Sangre the other day. We liked it a lot. Rather than horror, they could put comedy on as there were more laughs than scares, like when the giant snake comes out of his trousers as he sees the strong lady.

I also liked how many Jodorowskys were involved in the film. Made it seem like a bit of a family project. Looking forward to El Topo / Holy Mountain!
