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.

Here’s a piece from the DVD:

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?

Bye Bye Monkey

James Coco (Performer). Koch Lorber Films 1978, DVD, $6.99

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!

As he struggles with the writing, he finds out that his wife is having an affair.

Steven Soderbergh (A Scanner Darkly, Traffic, Pleasantville, and others to his name) wrote and directed the film, showing his genius and madness at the same time. This is a must-see on the WTF movie list. Don’t pass it up.

Schizopolis – Criterion Collection

Home Vision Entertainment 1997, DVD, $23.00

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.

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, $2.19

It’s set in the future in a society that seems more truth than fiction, kinda like the movie Idiocracy. The movie is about a government worker who tries to fix a wrongful arrest/killing, but ends up being the one the government goes after. With a bit of comedy and seriousness to the liking I hope we never see, it is entertaining.

Movies like these that depict the future and how we might evolve or devlove are pretty inhteresting to watch.Who knows if we’ll end up with no government like Idiocracy or an incompetent, more paperwork than ever and no questions asked government like in this movie.

Overall, the movie is good. It’s become somewhat of a cult hit. If you like other Terry Gilliam movies, no doubt you’ll like this one. Brazil is also in IMDB’s Top 250 movies at number 245. http://www.imdb.com/chart/top?tt0088846

Brazil

Charles McKeown (Writer). Universal Studios 1985, DVD, $7.75

The movie is set in the future, seemingly post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce. One small French town survives by eating people under the guise of a butcher’s shop.

It all seems good until the butcher’s daughter falls for one of the new tenants they are about to feast on.

Overall the movie is excellent. Great directing, acting, and plot. Give it a shot if you have seen and liked the other movies I listed from this director.

Delicatessen (Special Edition)

Darius Khondji (Cinematographer). Lions Gate 1987, DVD, $6.99

This was a really enjoyable movie. The first time you might be like, what is going on. And that is cool, just watch it again.

The movie is about a  guy that falls in love with his neighbor but is also a highly imaginative fellow. His dreams are played out entirely in the movie which gives it the WTF factor. I don’t know what he takes to have dreams like he does, but I want some of whatever he’s on.

The cast was amazing and you knew they got along well. Great chemistry or just good actors/actresses? I think both. The cast included: Charlotte Gainsbourg (she’s definitely getting more popular), Alain Chabat, and the amazing Gael García Bernal.

There’s a mix of French and English, you’ll want to have the English subs on however. I loved it, you might shake your head as you watch it, but you’ll love it too. This is among the must see films.

The Science of Sleep

Warner Home Video 2006, DVD, $4.84

You can basically think of this as Fear and Loathing (which is another of my favorite movies) but in England. This movie has been kind of a cult film with followers of Fear and Loathing and other drug culture movies. The movie is filled with absolutely great writing and awesome acting to boot. This is a good movie and I definitely recommend you watch it.
