Weekend of Hugo and Co.
After a shitty start to the day, decided fantasy would best be dabbled in.
Seeing the irony in an Epileptic actor's works take my mind off the Desert Of the Real, I grabbed:
- Peaches
- Little Fish
- Russian Doll
and as a loosely tied Matrix link, Kung Fu Hustle(Yuen Wo Ping's Choreography, NOW with Eleventy-Nine Percent MORE IMAGINATION!).
Kung Fu Hustle is quite the Cult Movie, the best oddball one for this century by China I reckon! With Tex Avery CGI-"Toon"ing of "real" humans, it adds to the zany comic-like feel of this comedy, but that doesn't mean Wo Ping has nothing new to show! You try doing choreography between four men with no real weapons and virtual people hitting through real walls!
Little Fish, while dark and gritty (should have left this for a bit later methinks) is still a bloody good film. I tend to steer from the more realistic dark and gritty, like the Nicholas Cage Ambulance Driver one (Waking The Dead?), since they tend to be too real to be likeable reality avoidance material, which shows how damn WELL they're made to capture the feel so well!
What got me the most was that Hugo was also very much looking like a skinner/barely younger version of my bioDad(well, my bioDad doesn't have the same lifestyle habits, but still...). Very eerie.
(Oh, and what'll get quite a few Matrix fans is what's caught as typical TV fodder when the TV catches the camera's "eye". No spoilers, must see to know. ;))
More on Russian Doll and Peaches later, as still due to view!
Later!
