78 The Tenant (1976) - Feb 22, 2011
Mini-Review: Polanski has an impeccable sense for nauseating paranoia and subtle urban trashiness that makes his apartment trilogy both scary and funny, sickening and delightful, heartbreaking and lighthearted, and overall an astonishing, inspiring experience. (I'm writing this monologue here because The Tenant is the last film from the trilogy that I saw). This one isn't as great as Repulsion or Rosemary, but it's wonderful and dripping with kafkaesque illness. Roman is perfectly sweet and crazy.
4 Religulous (2008) - Feb 10, 2011
Mini-Review: A terrible piece of demagoguery that managed to insult even me, and I'm an atheist myself. It's possibly the most tendentious film I have ever seen, and the editor is probably the bitchiest one I have ever seen too, constantly letting Bill Maher ask a question and then cutting to a tacky-depressing clip from an old trashy technicolor film instead of letting the interviewee answer Bill's question. They somehow managed to squeeze some homophobia in, too! Woohoo!
65 Heathers (1989) - Mar 01, 2011
Mini-Review: Oddly paced and mean spirited. I'm really not sure what to think about it. I guess I tend to fall for highschool films, but there was something depressing here. It has some sort of sociopathic/moralistic charm, though, and the style is usually great. I still liked Clueless more - it's less "dark" and extreme but the characters are actually likable and the whole thing is enjoyable, while Heathers pretty much forces you to hate everyone and everything. Yes, it includes you, Winona and Christian.
85 Macumba sexual (1983) - Dec 16, 2010
Mini-Review: Trashy and cruel, yet somehow minimalistic, it perfectly captures this whole lazy,sunlit and disturbing beach vacation mood. Heavily inspired by Roman Polanski's Repulsion (and Rosmary's baby too) but more extreme and brutal. The soundtrack is terrifying and the cinematography is great. This is definetely an effective film. When I told people about it they asked me how the director managed to make a horror film out of long detailed sex scenes - Jesus Franco does that almost perfectly here.
70 The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) - Aug 12, 2011
Mini-Review: Decadence, mon amour.
75 The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - Dec 24, 2010
Mini-Review: There is this strong emotional impact here that is at the same time depressing, magical and bad kind of bad taste. It feels painfully nostalgic even when you watch it for the first time.
86 Female Trouble (1974) - Dec 11, 2010
Mini-Review: Incredibly imaginative! This movie is a wonderful journey through the rise and fall of a simple, innocent and ambitious girl, played by the absoloutly magnificent Divine. An epic trash masterpiece.
74 Totally F***ed Up (1993) - Aug 03, 2011
Mini-Review: A pretty 90's time capsule and a general feeling of dirty flesh - TV - sheets.
89 Rosemary's Baby (1968) - Dec 02, 2010
Mini-Review: 130 minutes of perfect paranoia, Mia Farrow being adorable, and one breathtaking dream sequence. Personal as mush as sitting hours next to your fever-ill friend.
