Body: The first movie I thought of for this theme was Videodrome. It is one of my favorite early Cronenberg movies. If you see it, skip the R-rated version and go for the director's cut. It make everthing much clearer, well as clear as Cronenberg gets. I heard that someone is talking about re-making this. Not sure who or if it is beyond the rumor stage. To Die For is an uneven but enjoyable film about the merger of fame, television and obsession.

Body: I came across this movie in an article in the New York TImes on the director, Craig Baldwin and his newer movie Mock Up on Mu. I threw both of these movies into my Netflix queue and forgot all about them. This movie was amazing fun. Told as if it is a documentary from a conspiracy theorist's vault, Tribulation 99 explores how an ancient race of aliens living under Central America has been actively working to destroy America. The footage that makes up the entire movie is a pastiche of Mexican Wrestling movies, Japanese monster movies, 50's science fiction and standard American history stock footage. The mix of all these sources are forged into a new story that washes over you like the ravings of a madman. It reminded me of the first time I read H.P. Lovecraft. It has that same weird sense of this is our world and yet not. I would hesitate to recommend this movie to everyone. One problem is that you get the feeling that in order to get around copyright protections on his sources, Baldwin was forced to use so many short clips of his source material repeatedly. Also, the frenetic pace of the short clips staccattoed one after the other can get wearying at times. If you are interested in movies at the fringes, check this out. I found it to ultimately be a riveting post modern experiment.

Despite being set in the future, Alphaville was clearly Paris and everyone was dressed in 60s fashions and driving 60s cars. The characters talk about traveling from galaxy to galaxy, but seem to do it by driving on highways. Has anyone else been confused by this disconnect that Godard clearly intended?

Body: I had been meaning to watch Wages of Fear for a long time. One of the reasons that I kept putting it off was because, it is one of those movies that is universally praised. This always makes me nervous because I don’t want to be disappointed by setting the bar to high in my mind before I watch the movie. This movie doesn’t disappoint. Director Henri-Georges Clouzot, often compared to Hitchcock in his mastery of suspense, is clearly at the height of his craft here. It is a story of desperate men gambling with their lives in order to regain at least the sense of freedom and purpose. The movie takes place in an industrial town in South America. (The locations isn’t clearly stated, but it is implied that the town is in Venezuela) The locals who are lucky work for an American oil company. But aside from the locals, the town is also a kind of last haven for scoundrels who are forced to lie and cheat each other to survive, because they are unable to get work. The movie focuses on Mario, a Corsican, who barely lives off the misplaced trust of the girls working in the town's bar. He lives with Luigi, an Italian reduced to a day laborer job in a cement plant that is killing him. When Mario isn’t making time with the local tavern girl, he is hanging outside the bar with the other expatriates. He befriends Jo, a newcomer to the town, who is also on the last of his money. The whole first half of the movie quietly builds lives of quiet desperation around all the expatriates. Clozout never tells you what brought any of them to this town, but you gradually figure out that they must be hiding from bad things to be brought to this place. It is far enough away from everywhere that the lack of any money prevents any of them from leaving. A disaster strikes the oil company and they need to get 200 gallons of nitroglycerine to the wells at the bottom of the mountainous road to put the well fires out. Unfortunately they don’t have any trucks designed to carry the explosive safely and the road itself is filled with bumps and potholes, any of which could cause the chemical to explode. They divide all of the nitroglycerine they have into two trucks. That way, if one explodes there is still a chance to save the wells with the other truckload. They offer the job of driver to the expats for a big wad of cash, mainly because they are the only ones desperate enough to take it. The movie's second half is watching Mario and Jo in one truck and Luigi and Bimba in another crawl down the side of the mountain without killing themselves. The tension of all the drivers is shown through the fear in their expressions and their shorter and shorter tempers. Every bump and puddle transforms into a potential disaster. Although we start out not liking any of the main characters, we come to sympathize with them as each tries to survive the ordeal in their own way. (As a complete side note, does anyone know if this movie is where Nintendo got the names Mario and Luigi?)

(The locations isn&rsquo;t clearly stated, but it is implied that the town is in Venezuela) The locals who are lucky work for an American oil company. But aside from the locals, the town is also a kind of last haven for scoundrels who are forced to lie and cheat each other to survive, because they are unable to get work. The movie focuses on Mario, a Corsican, who barely lives off the misplaced trust of the girls working in the town's bar. He lives with Luigi, an Italian reduced to a day laborer job in a cement plant that is killing him. When Mario isn&rsquo;t making time with the local tavern girl, he is hanging outside the bar with the other expatriates. He befriends Jo, a newcomer to the town, who is also on the last of his money. The whole first half of the movie quietly builds lives of quiet desperation around all the expatriates. Clozout never tells you what brought any of them to this town, but you gradually figure out that they must be hiding from bad things to be brought to this place. It is far enough away from everywhere that the lack of any money prevents any of them from leaving. A disaster strikes the oil company and they need to get 200 gallons of nitroglycerine to the wells at the bottom of the mountainous road to put the well fires out. Unfortunately they don&rsquo;t have any trucks designed to carry the explosive safely and the road itself is filled with bumps and potholes, any of which could cause the chemical to explode. They divide all of the nitroglycerine they have into two trucks. That way, if one explodes there is still a chance to save the wells with the other truckload. They offer the job of driver to the expats for a big wad of cash, mainly because they are the only ones desperate enough to take it. The movie's second half is watching Mario and Jo in one truck and Luigi and Bimba in another crawl down the side of the mountain without killing themselves. The tension of all the drivers is shown through the fear in their expressions and their shorter and shorter tempers. Every bump and puddle transforms into a potential disaster. Although we start out not liking any of the main characters, we come to sympathize with them as each tries to survive the ordeal in their own way. (As a complete side note, does anyone know if this movie is where Nintendo got the names Mario and Luigi?)

Body: So I guess the first question anybody would have on seeing this is why should I trust your judgment on movies? You shouldn’t. Not blindly. Like all the other mavens, I’ve probably seen more movies than are good for me. And I also like discussing what makes those movies good or bad. Actually, let’s scrub the good or bad. I prefer interesting or a waste of time. There are a lot of films that fall apart at some point, but are worth watching repeatedly because they have great cinematography or an interesting twist on a plot. There are movies that I love because I can turn my brain off and watch them for the action and there are ones that I love because they make me question my beliefs. I think that directors are more important than actors. A great director can save a mediocre movie. Among the directors who I think rarely let you down are: Christopher Nolan, Sam Peckinpah, John Huston, Spike Lee and Howard Hawkes. What types of movies do I like: Suspense I love a movie that gets me on the edge of my seat and can hold me there for 90 minutes. The Last Seduction was one of those movies that had you yelling at the characters not to be taken in by the bad guy. Why don’t they ever listen? Action I’ll be honest, it takes more than a director who can blow stuff up real good for me to like it. Popeye Doyle’s chase scene under the train in The French Connection (1971) is pulse pounding. Westerns My favorite is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, because it set you up for the standard story of how the West was tamed, but then twists it. I don’t think Jimmy Stewart gets enough credit for his Westerns. Foreign Language movies I am not afraid of subtitles. If you want help picking out something interesting, I’m always up for exploring somebody else’s culture. I don’t go for movies of French people sitting around smoking cigarettes at each other, but if you want to talk about La Femme Nikita, shoot me a line.

Body: [quote user="mercurial"] I have actually grown to love Less Than Zero. I first saw it right after I read the book and hated it for the fact that it made a PG-13 version of almost X rated material, but something about it (probably the melodramatic soap opera-like acting and cheesy dialogue) has endeared it to my lexicon of films. And since I've pretty much become a Bret Easton Ellis freak with reading all of his books, I'm dying to see The Informers. That's just a bat-shit crazy book and perfect for a Magnolia-like film packed full of crazy characters and stories. [/quote] I have to keep the movie versions of Ellis' works seperate from their novel origins. The one that is closest to the source material is American Psycho and even that is tamed down from the book. I remember there was a lot of coke snorting in the book, but barely remember any in the movie.

Body: If we're gonna talk about coke, then you have to look at Robert Downey Jr., essentially playing himself in Less Than Zero. I don't think I saw anybody bring up Dennis Hopper and his tanks of nitrous oxide in Blue Velvet. Although I don't remember any body doing drugs in Brick, it all revolved around heroin. Brent Easton Ellis always loves his characters to be using and abusing. I think that they did everything in Rules of Attraction.
