Shock Corridor

Bargain Criterion
By HarmlessAndroid in Criterion Collection
"I am a bargain hunter in general, but I love to dig for things. I have made it pretty much a standard that I don't pay full price for Criterions even though I love them. I have a hard time paying $40 for a movie. Here are a few that I have found for really really low prices.Seven Samurai - $7 (Blockbuster used area)Carnival of Soulds - $5 (Second hand store)Band of Outsiders - $6 (Bizarre junk shop in Niles Michigan)Shock Corridor - $8 (Going out of business clearance at Hollywood Video) Robocop - $25 (ebay, usually sells for $80ish... its out of print) I will add more if I have any new super on the cheap aquisitions.

"So I was feeling down on the new Transformers flick. That is, until I read this review over at Geeks of Doom (http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/0 6/29/movie-review-transformers /). Here is a short expert:"Well thank GoD I wasn’t forced to settle! This summer’s blockbuster has finally arrived people. Only it’s not a mere blockbuster, it’s a two and a half hour atomic bomb… strapped to a roller-coaster… filled with snakes… on fire!"I read that and was in. Nerds love it. I'm in. I will be there July 4th with my friends and we will love it. To get ready, we are watching this tonight: http://www.spout.com/films/357 51/default.aspx " [More]

"In a lot of ways, isn't that what FEM plays into though. It is about art, life, the internet, a-d-d... It seems like FEM is at home in the myspace/you tube world. The way the movie rolls back into itself by the end and concludes as almost an add for the podcasts which most of us have already watched. It is all very intriguing to me. I feel like they have really captured what it is to exist right now. Confusing, fast paced, disconnected, yet everyone is right there. Allowing everyone to watch it within the form that birthed it just makes sense. /confusing ramble over. " [More]

"Ha. Yeah, I see where you are coming from. Though my first reaction was to say something like "If you really loved her..." In my situation, it was just an interesting way to become intimate and to deal with strange emotions that come with intimacy early on in a relationship. I don't want to say we grew out of it, but in a lot of ways we did. Still fond memories. " [More]

"Lost in La Mancha made me realize something... Terry Gilliam can't really make movies. He can come up with really captivating ideas and he can run them into the ground through self-destructive madness. I would put Gilliam in the same bin as Herzog in terms of sheer madness when making films. The sad thing is that Gilliam doesn't have nearly as many successes. In short, watch this movie. It is a great view into his life and mind. " [More]

The Graffiti Artist

A fantastic small picture

"This was a really good movie that surprised me in that it dealt with a lot more than graffiti. There are other good hip-hop graffiti flicks out there like Bomb the System and Style Wars, but The Graffiti Artist ends up being more a story about sexuality and finding your place when you are alone and poor.Another interesting tid bit about The Graffiti Artist is that you have probably heard the soundtrack even though you have never seen the movie. NPR and This American Life use Kid Loco's powerful soundtrack constantly. You can get it on the cheap at emusic. " [More]

"I was having a conversation with my wife about Four Eyed Monsters a couple days ago and I think the reason we fell in love with the movie, the podcast, the mythos of it all is that we actually had a similar experience. We were young, in love, and everything felt done and played out. We wanted to forge "our own reality" and started writing notes to each other, drawing cartoons, sharing our experience non-verbally. I think that part of this can come with immaturity, always wanting to do things counter to social norms. But it also is something that was definitely made more powerful because of our intense connection to each other. Communicating creatively made our relationship grow even faster. Hey, look at us now, almost 10 years later... married, house, 2 cats, and working at the same place. I was wondering if other Spouters had a similar experience or could share their own experience with strong relationships and bonding moments.Thanks, V " [More]

A great sequel

"This movie expands and builds upon the great original. While not AS good, it is still an amazing flick. I really can't say much more than that. I personally appreciate that it stays true to classic zombie films. To do that there is pretty much one rule to follow... the zombies win. It is inevitable. " [More]

The Fountain

Ego indulgence or art?
By HarmlessAndroid in March of the robots
Was this review helpful? [Be the first to tell us!]
"I liked this movie, I really did. It is very slow, very tense, very emotional, very deep, very very. It is an Aronofsky movie. Somewhere I read that many view him to be the "next Kubrick." I think comparisons like that are generally unnecessary, but I can understand the desire to say that. Darren is definitely a director who values the lasting importance of his films. He is very choosy and generally hard to work with from what I have read. It is rare that a writer / director as young as him can get away with that anymore. He is one of a very few modern directors that seem completely in control of his cache of work. Wes Anderson is another that seems to be in that group. That said, The Fountain, big ideas, that almost go over the brink into self-indulgence. But he holds it together. Looking forward to more. " [More]

Spider-Man 3

How unfortunate

"What a depressing movie. Just really bad. Spider-Man was so good for the first two (especially the second). Why some of the decisions that were made for this movie were allowed to fly is beyond me. The 2 dance sequences, the completely dopey acting that is strangely poor compared to the previous flicks.If you want to know how good Spider-Man can be, I urge you to read Spider-Man: Reign by Kaare Andrews and the whole run of Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Strasynski. The current Amazing stuff starting with 539 is incredible and puts this movie to shame. Sam Raimi... WHY?!?!?!? " [More]

"What could be better than Grindhouse this year? Seeing a documentary about the star of Deathproof is what could be better. This is a really incredible story. The documentary starts off as two stories. One about Jeannie Epper, the stunt double from Wonder Woman and member of a legendary family of stunt-people. The second is about Zoe Bell, the stunt woman who began her career as the double for Lucy Lawless on Xena.Their paths cross when Zoe is looking for work and Jeanie has her stay with her in California. The movie culminates in Zoe being discovered by a certain director and cast to double in a very popular 2-part epic. This movie is just so good. I hate to say heart warming, but it really is. To see an out of work young woman, and a 60 year old experienced stunt woman come together like this is just really amazing. You feel like you are there at the beginning of something really important. After it all I just want to meet Zoe Bell. I want to shake her hand, give her a hug, she is ... " [More]
