Boots Riley is the illest. StBY was one of those films I bought immediately after seeing. It's perfect. I want that The Future is Female Ejaculation shirt and the MURDER/KILL earrings so bad.

Going to watch this again soon when I get the Blu Ray. The whole thing is wonderfully shot, but it's such a miserable movie. Abusing a small child till he himself becomes cruel and violent. Didn't know this till just now, but Aleksey Kravchenko (The Lead of Come And See)is in this movie! Really cool to see him play the role of an older Russian officer, and the character reminds me of the partisan leader Kosach.

The Assistant

A slow paced but effective commentary on toxic soul destroying corporate culture

Brought over my copy of "Who Killed Captain Alex?" and blew my friends' minds. Brought some brews too, but this is such a hilarious film. Please buy it, give these guys money to make more movies, they're all a treat.

Well, I like good movies, anyway. But I'll take a chance on a promising story. Turner Classic Movies have been unloading a bevy of great ones lately. And if you still have a cable connection their website/app gives you On Demand access to every aired film for at least a week. I'm trying to watch as many as I can before my full time gig starts up again. So forgive the blather.

Beyond A Reasonable Doubt (1956, Fritz Lang)
To demonstrate how an innocent man could be sentenced to death on purely circumstantial evidence a newspaper publisher and a former reporter turned novelist find an unsolved crime and plant evidence that will condemn him while withholding direct evidence of his innocence and expected acquittal. Of course it doesn't work out as planned. And getting to the great ending is sometimes interesting. Some say this was director, Fritz Lang's (M, Metropolis) best American film but it doesn't hold a candle to Scarlet Street, imo. Dana Andrews as the writer is nicely cast. Joan Fontaine as his weary but loyal fiancé is too cool, especially up against the dippy but tough bottle blonde strippers that Andrews has to ingratiate himself with in order to carry out the big scheme. It's all an uneven affair - from the casting to the lighting (great nighttime shadows and contrasts but abysmal indoor floodlighting) but fun to watch once.

Just watched this. I really like films that let you catch only glimpses of whatever entity is doing the spooking, and for the most part this got my hairs standing on end. Some of the effects don't stand up, but it was still a pretty decent film.

I really need a horror film that doesn't show me everything, that makes you feel like none of the characters are in control of their situation. I need to feel like I'm not sure what I just saw, something to disempower me.

Japanese and Korean horror are some of the best horror out there.

I tried watching the new Bill & Ted movie. I got about 20 minutes into it before giving up.
