Zombie Strippers, a film about love, romance, conviction, and desire. I’m just kidding it was freaking zombie strippers, a movie about strippers that were soon turned to zombies. What a concept! I want to believe someone has thought of this before, but only Jay Lee had it in him to do it, and did it well. I knew what I was getting into but I was still surprised with the results.

Do I really need to say anything else? If you can’t get excited about a film about an assassin nicknamed “The Baker”, then there is no helping you.

I saw some clips from it on IMDB. Those were some of the most bleak, depressing and beautifully humorous clips I’ve seen in a rather long time. It got 90% on RottenTomatoes. This film is on DVD which means it slipped by my radar. I’m losing my game, I hate getting old. And while I’m at it—by which I mean my old age—can Hollywood do me a favor and make a couple more films like this a year. Am I asking for too much?

Thanks Ming

M. Night sure knows how to make me want to watch a movie. Plus, Wahlberg and Deschanel are always good in my book. Check out the trailer.

You know how sometimes you see a commercial about a new burger? and you think, “man, I’ve been craving a burger like that!” You know it’s not going to be that great, but you know that there’s a good chance you’ll like it. But when you go and sit down and all prepared to enjoy it, it disappoints you. An you think to yourself, “they had a good idea, but it was just so poorly implemented.” That’s the metaphor I’m using to describe Vantage Point. I suppose I could have just replaced the word “burger” with “movie”, but then it wouldn’t be a metaphor anymore—as terrible as it was.

Be Kind Rewind - Sweded Trailer - Starring Micheal Gondry

Micheal Gondry is a prop genius. This was abundantly clear from his recent films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Science des rêves, La (The Science of Sleep). Be Kind Rewind was no different.

So Ran and I went to the cineplex for one of our every-so-often twofers. Basically we watch two movies for the price of one. It is not an advertised special, but most theaters offer it with minimal hassle. Yesterday it was Be Kind, Rewind followed by Vantage Point. Our super ticket was $8.75, not a bad price these days, but I still feel slightly cheated.

I’m not so much a fan of westerns. I know that some of them are really good, that they’re classics, blah blah blah… I just don’t enjoy them that much. The other day I was clicking through my recommendations on Netflix, and this is what I saw. Not cool Netflix, not cool.
