Burning Palms

riscphree — Thu, 26 May 2011 05:02:07 +0000

What an amazing film. Glad to have had the off chance to see this. It was slow at the beginning and then it drags you in until you can’t get out.

I really was hoping there was more. There are five stories that will bend the way you think just a little bit, but enough to look over this film again.

Gets my seal of approval. Go get it folks!

Darling Darling

Matthew Lessner ftw! He hooked me up with a copy of this short film Darling Darling.

The short film is about a young man going to pick up his date for prom. The young man sees his date’s father with a horse mask and goes through some off and uncomfortable settings. The young man is Michael Cera so you can imagine it’s gonna have his comedic acting.

It’s definitely a wtflick, but I enjoyed it immensely! I can’t wait to see how some more of his work goes.

Caligula

riscphree — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 07:22:15 +0000

Caligula, featuring Malcom McDowell, portrays a very vivid look into the last few days of Roman Emperor Gaius Germanicus Caligula. He was known for having relations with his sister and just in general being very carnal in his actions.

A lot of people have said this has been one of the worst films they’ve seen. I’ll have to disagree. I kinda liked it. It’s not a film for children, that’s for sure. One scene involves Caligula ramming his fist in another man’s anus. If you want to see a lot of violence and general raunchiness then this film is for you.

Mr. Nobody

Think Memento meets time travel. Jared Let stars as a man who, I think, travels in time finding out what his choices in life bring him to. Quite an interesting film, but it seemed like it dragged on. Not enough action for me.

A Serbian Film

riscphree — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 07:00:24 +0000

I was lucky enough to get a chance to see this. Wow. Here’s the description from IMDB:

An aging porn star agrees to participate in an “art film” in order to make a clean break from the business, only to discover that he has been drafted into making a pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film.

Intense. I’m definitely gonna keep my eyes on the Serbian film market after this. Not a bad movie, not the most grotesque I’ve seen either. But plenty enough for the average joe.

Do watch this if you get a chance!

To the Stars by Hard Ways

This was an interesting film. This was made in 1980s Soviet Union and you can certainly tell. The story is about a woman found in space who attempts to live on Earth. This doesn’t last long and soon finds herself going back to where she came from.

The special effects are awesome in the way only the ’80s can provide (ie: outer space shots being filmed underwater). The movie wasn’t too terribly bad, nor terribly good. Someone compared it to an episode of Star Trek, and I would have to agree. If you’re a fan of Sci-fi, do check it out though. This one isn’t too popular and might be hard to find for most people.

The Cook & The Thief & His Wife & Her Lover

riscphree — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 02:58:25 +0000

This was a little interesting piece that came my way. Something I hadn’t heard of, or seen before, yet boasts a powerful cast: Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, Tim Roth.

Kind of slow moving, but it kept my attention for the most part. It’s about a guy who owns a restaurant who just likes to talk. Well, partly. His wife starts to have an affair with someone who keeps coming to the restaurant. Eventually things turn sour, like is usual.

The photography was very subtle in its genius (watch the reds). With great shooting, great cast, overall it is a very good movie. It’s good decent reviews on IMDB as well, problem is it’s very unknown :( The ending rocks too!

Pink Flamingos

When I say I’ve seen it all, that’s a big statement. But then I saw this. Pink Flamingos. How could a god create something so … pink-flamingo-ey. And why’s that dude got to fuck a chicken on the naked woman?

This acting is so awful, I don’t even have the words to describe it, and I’ve just come off a decent acid binge. For the time period, this movie was revolting, and that’s what it wanted to be. People loved it. Instant cult classic. For me however it was lacking, but who am I to say for a time period I wasn’t apart of.

Bye Bye Monkey

What a nutty movie. What a nutty time period, the ’70s. Young Gérard Depardieu is amazing. From IMDB: A man walking on the beach near New York City finds the corpse of King Kong. He also finds Kong’s orphaned son, and takes it to a friend who lives in the city, and they decide to raise it.

I’ve love to see this pulled off now. The acting was great, story was great. A feminist theater company Depardieu sometimess works for was having troubles coming up with an idea. Someone mentioned rape as a subject. They tried to do a reverse rape on Depardieu, but they liked it heh. Interesting part of the movie.

There’s plenty of nudity in here, as well as Depardieu making out with a 60 year old woman. The ending was a bit dramatic, but I liked it.

One comment on IMDB hit it correctly: Is it another world, or our world gone mad?

Kynodontas

riscphree — Sat, 15 May 2010 15:06:23 +0000

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, so I’m giving you a good one ;)

As usual, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. No background on this before I watched it, but when it was all said and done, it deserves to be on this site.

Kynodontas is about a family in Greece that is tightly controlled by the parents. The three kids don’t know anything about the civilized world. Their little world begins to unwind when the father brings home a co-worker for his son to relieve himself with sexually.

What a weird concept for a movie. If you think you’ve seen a family that is abnormal, they will be perfectly normal after watching this movie.

Below is a trailer:

I don’t have any amazon links to buy this, so you’ll have to use your resources to find it to watch.
