It's what I would be doing if netflix didn't have the worst timing ever!

It's cheap Tuesday!

There's one multiplex playing Splice.

The other multiplex has Harry Brown, The Secret In Their Eyes, Micmacs, Women Without Men.

The Secret in Their Eyes is warm and cold and tense and urgent and funny and sad and riveting and emotional and awesome.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Has anyone seen The Eclipse? It's got Ciaran Hinds in it (love him!), and it seems to have gotten some decent though not rave reviews, 67 on metacritic.

Anyway, should I go to that at B'ham's indie cinema tomorrow night or stay home and watch Shutter Island?

Going to the theater tomorrow should I go see Splice, The Karate Kid, Prince of Persia, The A-Team or Robin Hood.

Prince of Persia, because I need to hear some more opinions.  It's been pretty mixed so far

I had fun with it. There are some really good sequences. It's simple and cliched, but look over that and it's a good time.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

With the demise of the spring iteration of the Philly Film Festival I was left with a hole in my viewing schedule usually filled with horror, monster movies, Asian gangster films and general mindCINECAST!ery  Luckily the Danger After Dark Series will be run alongside the Q Festival (Philly’s GLBTG film spectacular) this year (yay!)

Anyone seen any of these?

Dogtooth
Three adults have been raised since birth entirely within the enclosed family estate, but their hermetic captivity is about to be horrifically shattered in this unforgettable and disturbing Greek drama.

RoboGeisha
(definitely seeing this – the trailer was posted some time ago)

Deliver Us From Evil
A seemingly idyllic small town suddenly transforms into a breeding ground for violence and paranoia in this gripping and often brutal Danish variation on the savagery of Straw Dogs.

Gone with the Pope
An outrageous, long-lost 1970s American grindhouse bombshell is now completed and released for the first time! A jet-black comedy about organized crime…and the most ambitious kidnapping plot ever.

The Temptation of St. Tony
A factory manager finds his grip on everyday life spiraling into a chaos that is terrifying…and darkly funny. A mysterious, visually arresting festival favorite from Estonia. (Denis Lavant as Count Dionysos Korzybski!)

Amer
A gorgeously ultra-stylized homage to the Italian giallo mysteries of the 1960s and 70s, the Belgian/French film Amer is also a hypnotic thriller in its own right.

Enter the Void (this is a yes)
The provocative director of Irreversible returns with the most aggressive, experimental, and psychedelic feature of the year, a mind-blowing journey into the afterlife, as filtered through the neon-bathed Tokyo underworld.

Big Tits Zombie 3-D
In this high-voltage Japanese gore-comedy, there are strippers with large breasts. There are hordes of flesh-eating zombies. And there are 3-D glasses. We had you at “hello.”

Red White & Blue
Equally gripping and grisly, this harrowing character study of loneliness and violence among young lovers in Texas is another unflinching film from Danger After Dark veteran Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead).

The Life and Death of a Porno Gang
Truly shocking and subversive, this tale of a traveling band of anarchist pornographers venturing into snuff filmmaking is an explicit entry to the new wave of Serbian cinema.

Vengeance (Most Definitely)
Ultra-stylish Hong Kong action auteur Johnnie To returns to Danger After Dark with one of his most visually arresting nocturnal bullet-fests to date, as a French chef takes on the triads with revenge on his mind.
