I saw Rambo last night. It was meh.

I thought the creature in Mystics in Bali was a pennaggolan (head with dancing intestines). It has a taste for pregnant women much like the aswan.

You are correct, sir.  I just lumped into “flying witch heads” for brevity and an attempt to be clever.:)

Not to be confused with the flying heads from Full Moon Video’s Shrunken Heads. Yummy 90’s goodness.

Ever noticed how the majority of Full Moon Pictures involved diminutive figures in central roles?  Dollman, Puppet Master, Subspecies, etc?  I’ve always thought that it was Charles Band’s business savvy—see the movie and now BUY the action figure!  Then again, I don’t know.  It’s almost as if Band had a phobia/fetish of diminutive monsters, as they are all over the place in the flicks.

Anyway, I liked Alain Delon’s eurocrime flick, Three Men to Kill, so much that I dumped a bunch of his flicks into my Netflix queue.  I watched the first last night, Two Men in Town.  It stars Delon and legendary French film actor, Jean Gabin, and eurocult starlet, Mimsy Farmer.  Delon plays a safe-cracker who’s released from prison after 10 years and tries to go straight.  Not so much a eurocrime flick, as it is a political drama and critique of the French legal system.  It was entertaining to watch, but a little to didactic for me to watch it again.  Didactic—I like this word and glad I got to use it.

Charles band I’m convinced is a shrinking fetishist or Microphiliac. It’s a real thing and is extremely bizzare. Google “Giantess” and be prepared for some giggles. Oh and NSFW.

What if Band and Lynch got together .... two midgets walk into a bar ..... dream sequence style ...

FINALLY saw Sweeny Todd. OMG. Not in a fangirl way. Well maybe a little.
It was so good. I am starting to think that Tim Burton can’t make a film I don’t like. He came close with Big Fish, but I even fault myself for not liking that as much as I probably should.

Even if Helena Bonham Carter’s part was Nepotism (which I am not saying that it was) this role was perfect for her. My friend had told me this, but I didn’t believe it until I saw it. And Johnny ... oh Johnny. So talented, so quirky, so sublime. And hot too, yes, can’t ignore that.

Got one new job that I start tomorrow and am waiting on a few more job offers that would be even better, so I am officially back in the full swing of movie madness. Wee!

Netflix thanks you for your continued contribution.

I liked Carter the most in Sweeney. Well, Cohen was hilarious too. And Rickman was perfectly slimy. I guess I’m saying I liked Depp the least in it, but he was still good.

Just watched High Tension ..

HOLY JESUS smurfin!

Oh, that little French film. Try seeing it in a theater. You at least have good arm rests with which to squeeze.

between my shoulder blades aches from being tensed up the whole time.
my housemate and I had to turn on the lights after (we watched in the dark) and couldn’t go to bed for like half an hour. We had to watch stupid comedy television to lighten the air.

Watched Gone Baby Gone.  Surprisingly good.  Also watched Fracture.  Again much better than I thought it would be.  Solid rental.  I have Hack to watch but haven’t gotten around to it.  Has anyone seen this movie?

I love High Tension. I forced my friend to watch it a week or so ago, and he reacted in pretty much the same way.

Haute Tension is the best horror movie I’ve seen in at least 5 years(off the top of my head). I’m hoping Aja can get out of the remake hell he’s mired in and continue his upward ascent into the Holy Mountain of Horror Helmers(hey, that’s alliteration!).

  I have Hack to watch but haven’t gotten around to it.  Has anyone seen this movie?

I watched it 2 weeks ago. The Winnie Cooper factor lured me in. It’s pretty ugh. It has Drucilla and Flat-top?! Who’d a thunk they’d sink so low. Ok, Drucilla sure, but Flat-Top?

I watched two Jean-Pierre Melville flicks w/Delon, Le Cercle Rouge and Le Samourai.  Amazing movies.  You can really see the influence that Melville had on John Woo, especially.

I also watched two “pinky violence” flicks:  Lynch Law Classroom and Girl Boss Guerrilla—God bless, 70s exploitation flicks.
