Otogiriso (2001)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0293478/ Scream meets, blair witch, meets sliver, meets the haunting. Except it isn’t, it’s not even horror, in a way it’s not even a movie. More sort of a po-mo cyberpunk meta-movie in the same vein … Continue reading

Uzumaki (2000)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0244870/ Not horror either and actually laugh-out-loud slapstick funny in some places. Does for plots and story lines what free jazz does for tunes, i.e. does break into one occasionally, but it tends to be a … Continue reading

Pro urodov i lyudey (1998)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0156849/ One of the flood of rich sepia toned semi-silent movies about the birth of the photographic and movie flagellation-and-freak-porn industry in turn of the century St Petersberg that came out of Russia in the late … Continue reading

Baise-moi (2000)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0249380/ Would have to agree with all the reviews comparing this to Thelma and Louise, in fact if you were to walk in half way through on it the only way you could tell the movies … Continue reading

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0133363/ Los Amantes del Círculo Polar – Lovers of the Arctic Circle Romantic destiny and the happenstance of perfect love in a casually malign and imperfect world. We should never not dare to risk, or let … Continue reading

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer (1992)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0105569/ different, disturbing, disjointed, delectable… Kinda like an insanely nihilistic incredible hulk on a really, really, REALLY bad acid trip with huge amounts of organo-metallic firepower instead of muscles. also nice use of graduated tobacco and … Continue reading

Akai hashi no shita no nurui mizu (2001)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289054/ Rather a sweet romantic comedy with a silly soundtrack. Has a nice magical realism thing going on where the relationship between the two main protaganists becomes part of the ecosystem and makes the fishies happy. … Continue reading

Ai no corrida (1976)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074102/ Leaving aside the fact that the movie consists almost entirely of non-stop non-simulated non-pornographic sex, and all the ‘controversy’ about that, this is probably one of my favourite romance movies of all time. Then again … Continue reading

Oldboy (2003)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0364569/ Just go and watch it, and DON’T read about it first, the fewer the preconceptions the better the surprises 🙂 For the hard of thinking there’s going to be a Hollywood remake in 2006, which … Continue reading

Kuro no tenshi Vol. 1 (1997)

Stumbleupon Review of : http://imdb.com/title/tt0149899/ Beautifully shot, moderately blood drenched, and a bit weird. Which was good. Unfortunatly a bit lacking in the character and empathy building needed to really gel it together, could of been so much better… Did … Continue reading
