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.

The plot doesn’t focus on a certain group over overall situation. That situation is a Russian mob boss trying to build a building in the UK. The top mob boss is the one that can make this happen. But due to unforseen events, things unfold not as they plan.

I definitely recommend this movie if you like the UK crime/action type movie. Top notch!

That’s where  I left because it was boring. From IMDB: “An actress’s perception of reality becomes increasingly distorted as she finds herself falling for her co-star in a remake of an unfinished Polish production that was supposedly cursed.” AKA COMPLETE MIND FUCK. Didn’t have any idea what was going on in the beginning.

Now Lynch has written and made a lot of cool films, and even this is ranked a 7.1 on IMDB, but this film was too boring for even me. That does say something. Unless you have a bit of time to kill and are absolutely bored, I’d skip this movie.

As his memory comes back he finds himself traveling in time between two points in time where he attempts to try and change what cannot be changed.

Overall, it was a good movie as long as you like mindfuck movies (if you didn’t why are you here?). If you liked the idea of The Butterfly Effect I think you’d like this, at least I enjoyed it. Easy enough to watch and not require a lot of brain cells, but maybe just a bit too much for the general audience.

The I Inside

Andreas Grosch (Producer). Dimension 2005, DVD, $5.16

There’s such a high power cast, I didn’t know what to expect. Jason Schwartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Jude Law, Mark Wahlberg, Naomi Watts, Kevin Dunn. Not a cast you’d think would end up on wtflicks. They pulled it off though. Discussing the big question, what’s life about, who am I, why am I doing this, etc. in a sorta of comedy and half serious way. Entertaining movie, but didn’t really get me thinking, just hit the surface of the thinking aspect, my guess is that’s on purpose. I think they wanted more average movie watchers to watch this one.

All in all, decent movie, if you’re bored with the usual, check this fun loving comedy out.

It is about a kid who accidentally gets his father killed and travels to the city to get money for his family by working as a Sleep Dealer.

It seemed like a very low budget indie movie, maybe a little heavy on the special effects which were a little subpar. I think the movie didn’t go deep enough, I think it focused too much on unimportant stuff. The acting was ok, I’m not too familiar with Spanish cinema, but it looks like even they are putting out better stuff than Hollywood.

Overall the movie was decent, if a little slow. I had watched Avatar the same day so I was in a sci-fi mood when I watched it. If you’re a sci-fi cinema geek definitely check it out, otherwise you might not like it.

His mom takes him and moves from place to place with a new father it seems every year. The kid goes through a lot as well as anyone around him. One of his fathers even rapes him. Pretty heartbreaking story, if you have a heart.

It’s got some good acting: Asia Argento, Jimmy Bennett, and Jeremy Renner (you’ll probably recognize him from The Hurt Locker) to name a few.

It’s a decent movie, I’d totally recommend seeing it.

Anyway, The Big Empty is about an actor that isn’t having very much luck in the acting business and takes a courier job offer from a neighbor. The job itself is shrouded in secrecy and what not, but he’s getting paid 27 thousand dollars. So he accepts.

He goes to the meeting place and waits. A little comic drama and then the movie gets on with it. I won’t divulge anymore though. You’ll have to watch.

Overall, the movie is decent. It felt like a short movie, probably due to the comedy in it that I enjoyed. If you need a little something to sit back and enjoy with out too much thinking, this’ll do it.

The Big Empty

Jon Favreau (Producer). Lions Gate 2004, DVD, $1.98

How can you not want to watch that? I guess it was actually two takes, the first got screwed up so they started over. It happens.

The movie is about a guy wandering the State Hermitage Museum in Russia, but he is unseen by other people. He meets another guy who isn’t Russian but somehow understands the language and can speak it. They wander through the museum and see various people from Russian history. There’s definitely a lot of WTF things about it. A lot of questions left unanswered or up to you.

The film is pretty damn neat. I am a fan of director Aleksandr Sokurov’s other movies as well, like Mother and Son and The Sun . The movie is pretty good, it’s engaging. I like history stuff in general so I am probably biased. For some people I can see how it might be boring. Also, it’s in Russian, so you’ll need some subs.

Now if you’re familiar with Chloë Sevigny at all, you’re not surprised at this, but still, it was fun to watch :)

The movie is about a motorcycle racer that is traveling to California for a race and along his journey he meets up with various women. It is quite boring and I don’t really understand the whole thing.

I wouldn’t recommend watching the whole movie unless you’re bored to tears and just want to tell me what it was really about. Which you’re welcome to do.
