Save the Green Planet

An inspired flight of fancy, a schizophrenic hodge-podge of horror, suspense, drama and comedy. The best capsule description I can come up with is Silence of the Lambs meets Terry Gilliam with a touch of Takashi Miike (with a bonus 2001 homage). But doing that robs it of its own uniqueness. Strange and funny, dark and disturbing, sharply stylistic but with proper restraint. Very compelling.

I was disappointed with this one. I thought the premise was great, but the movie gets bogged down with torture scenes and cliched contrivances to extend the torture scenes. Torture in and of itself doesn't really bother me, but for a film that has great moments of originality, the incredibly predictable hour or so of these scenes in the middle of the movie really hurts it.

A very funny movie that shows the importance of having a hobby. It also shows that no matter how much you are to finding out the truth, you'll be right.....but you'll still be wrong.

The aliens don't want you to see this film. But you're not going to let some stinking aliens tell you what to do are you?

Tonally ADD-afflicted meditation on obsession and certitude, with some razor-edged irony and a lingering melancholy. Utterly unlike any movie I'd ever seen before.
