Had a mini Evil Dead marathon by myself tonight, watched Evil Dead 2 and just finished Army Of Darkness. About Adventure Time: love the show. It definitely is very smart, very weird and very funny. About Robert Rodriguez: he's great and I'm also looking forward to Machete Kills. I doubt they'll ever do another Grindhouse movie though, Tarantino is way too into his whole spaghetti western thing now. |

Anxiety hangover

Last night I saw Rob Zombie's new film, The Lords of Salem... It's a shame, because it should have been a good movie: the premise is pretty interesting, there are some great shots and cinematography and the Satanic scenes are pretty good (for the most part), and Sheri Moon isn't completely unbearable. The problem is that a lot of the movie is very boring, and there is virtually no plot, or reason for anything that happens. Plot points are dropped and seemingly forgotten or ignored, there's some pretty painful dialog, and most of the things that are meant to be scary come off as just stupid or stale (there are more than enough Satanic horror clichés packed in here)...or worse, stupid and completely random - for example, one scene features our hero, Heidi, in a dark apartment transfixed by a large red neon crucifix, and a large Bigfoot-like creature appears behind her, unbeknownst to Heidi, and we are then shown a brief scene (flashback? dream? who knows?) which depicts two men in masks standing guard in the woods as the beast walks between them toward the camera. I assumed this creature to be an embodiment of Satan himself, but I will never know because nothing else happens when we return to Heidi after the woods scene, and the monster is never seen or mentioned again, and has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. The worst part of all this is that the last 45 minutes or so devolve into complete nonsense - the majority of the second half is a jumble of random hallucinogenic scenes that aren't explained or don't seem to have any purpose or even any connection to each other (like the "monster" scene I described, although it gets much weirder). And then the movie abruptly ends, with no resolution or explanation of anything that happened, and as the credits roll we see the top of Heidi's apartment building and some trees, as the camera points at the sky and slowly revolves in a full circle. I suppose that, since I'm sitting here almost 24 hours later attempting to wrap my head around whatever it is I saw last night, Zombie accomplished whatever it was he was trying to accomplish with this movie. There are clear influences from the likes of David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick... The problem is that Rob Zombie is certainly no David Lynch, or Kubrick for that matter. Maybe the problem lies in his skills as a writer, because I felt he certainly did an admirable job directing. If the screenplay had been in someone else's hands, or even if he had an experienced collaborator, this could have been saved. Hell, even if it had been a weird "WTF" art film that was mean to puzzling from the get-go, á la David Lynch, it could've been better. The way it is now, though, it feels like Zombie just ran out of ideas halfway through writing the movie and decided to just jumble a bunch of scenes together and not even bother to end it. What a shame. TL;DR: The Lords of Salem sucked. Sorry guys, got carried away with this write up. Edited by Fear, Apr 26 2013, 02:20:51 AM.

last night I watched Escape From New York for the first time. it was really good but the house was noisy (with the whole family home and all) so I didn't soak up all of the details. I may watch it again tonight. I bought both parts of the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns animated movie. It's alright. nowhere near as good as the graphic novel. |

I just saw a film called When the Last Sword is Drawn and was really moved by it. It's a 2003 Samurai film, I'd recommend it to anyone who has Netflix. I haven't cried like that in a long time. |

I rented 2001 a Space Odyssey from Blockbuster, on Blu ray. I've already seen the film. But wanted to see if it appears any better in HD. It must, as it is, it's the best looking film from 1968. (One of the best looking, period) I'm also going to watch North by Northwest. Better then any James Bond film. And probably the best spy espionage thriller I've ever seen. (My reasons are the Suspense, The Humor, The performances and the set pieces) If I were to list my favorite films from Hitchcock in a Top 10 fashion, North by Northwest would place Number 4 in that list.

I just watched Django Unchained for the first time. What a great movie. I feel that Inglorious Basterds was much more intense and suspenseful, but this one just had a "holy shit, that was awesome" feel throughout. Plus Christoph Waltz rules. |
