Just watched Dogville. Pretty interesting.

lady sings the blues. i'd have liked it better if anybody else played billie.

My Name is Khan. I liked it.

[Rec] 2. Not as good as the first one, but still very good, way better than most new horror movies. Would be fun to watch them back to back as if they were one film.

Splice

Very intriguing movie.

Right now I'm watching the dvd portion of Otep's latest album "Smash The Control Machine." It includes a track-by-track commentary by Otep Shamaya where she discusses the background of each song, as well as an interview about the process of making the album, and some poetry readings. I'm not sure about anyone else here, but I'm a huge fan of this woman and her band. Their music really helps me through life, and has done so since 2001.


Edit: Crap, just realized this was about movies. Hope I haven't ruined the thread. I wasn't sure where else to post it. I guess the music section?

Last four films I saw were Bronson (a "Clockwork Orange" type of film that seemed great but I was too high to really tell), Human Nature (a fascinating surreal comedy about the human tendency to adapt to others), Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (fairly disappointing family drama) and The Fall (great surreal and dark fairy tale).

point break. a movie with major problems that almost succeeds despite of 'em. a cult classic among certain groups.

Life as a House (it has the guy who played Anakin Skywalker in it.) it was so good...
Fight Club
The Sixth Sense

Horror of the Blood Monsters, aka Vampire Men of the Lost Planet

The A-Team

I found it entertaining. Worth seeing on the big screen if you like over-the-top action scenes with highly implausible scenarios. Don't see it and expect high-caliber, Oscar-worthy acting or intricate plot development. It's an action movie. Things go boom. Pretty explosions.

The last movie I saw, was "2012". I didn't like it one bit,not because of the actors they did fine... well to an extent. The thing that annoyed me was their "science" The whole plot revolved around the basis of neutrions affecting the Earth somehow? Now I'm not a expert on it, but last time I checked neutrions are consider " ghost particles " and in no way affect anything physically. Of course I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.

"Institute Benjamenta" By the Quay Brothers. I had seen "The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes" and was disappointed so I didn't hold out much hope for this one, but I ended up enjoying it.

I used to try to understand weird, enigmatic films like "Benjamenta". I kept looking for meaning and would find myself frustrated and feeling stupid that I had no idea what was meant by the film makers. Maybe the film has a meaning for the film makers, but it is not necessarily what I get from the film. Here, I just enjoyed the photography and the mood that was created. Maybe I'll get some meaning from it if I see it again, but for now, I'm happy with just experiencing the world that they create in the film.

The Ballad of Jack and Rose

The Karate Kid remake
