Jandek on Corwood (2003) 9/10 < I need to get some of his early stuff, after seeing this.
Atonement (2007) 7/10
Grizzly Man (2005) 6/10 < Treadwell was an idiot.
Zoo (2007) 9/10 < Beautiful and haunting all at the same time. Also, the soundtrack is perfect.

I mentioned this flick before because I watch it a couple of times a year:

The God of Cookery written, directed, and starring Stephen Chow.
The greatest comedy film ever conceived by the mind of man.

This was the last movie I watched, I enjoyed it!
I really like Pasolini's movies!!

I've probably seen this more times than should be allowable by law for someone my age.

atsonicpark · 07.24.2008, 10:08 AM

I absolutely love Stephen Chow, I need to see more.

body parts - 7/10

Very cronenberg-influenced, surprisingly well-made and exciting the whole time. I thought as soon as dude found out he had the arm of a killer's, it'd just be him killing people or whatever but it ended up taking a few exciting directions.

after watching 4 heavy depresing movies that ended in suicides I had to watch something nice

atsonicpark · 07.24.2008, 11:10 AM

Yeah Rob..

It's weird, I actively search out really gory or trashy or bizarre/experimental films.......

but there's nothing like going back to stuff like Babe, Home Alone, Dutch, all those films I loved when I was younger.

Whoa - I was just reading a bit about Lauren Bacall because of this post - and it turns out she's first cousins with Shimon Peres.

Well, it's a shot-by-shot remake of the original, BY the original director. SO in a way you only need to see one or the other.

I thought it was excellent. It was realistic, disturbing and yet had a very good use of social commentary as well as sort of pointed injokes at fans of so-called "torture-porn." Stylistically, it's great. Wide shots, stationary cameras, no music create a realistic feel... then all the sudden the "fourth wall" is broken for a moment. (you'll see).

And all the acting was great (no surprises there, great cast). See it.

The 3rd was my favorite. The only one of the 3 I'd consider owning.
