Tastes like chicken.
In lieu of studying, cont'd.
Delicatessen by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (of Amelie)
What a cute post-apocalyptic film about a butcher who resorts to cannibalism to feed himself and his eccentric tenants. He puts out ads in the paper calling for a handyman, and once the new handyman fixes a few things, the butcher makes him the next meal. It has a few common actors with Amelie and still has a bit of that characteristic feel of a movie directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (minus all the brightness of Amelie). It was cute, funny, I dug it.
Latter Days by C. Jay Cox
This movie had its cheesy moments, but that's to be expected with anything involving love. It was the first movie I've seen that dealt with Mormons, so it was a look into something I'm not usually exposed to. A closeted Mormon missionary who eventually has to come to terms with his sexuality once he falls in love with someone. And he gets ex-communicated. I found the music to be really cheesy, which added to the overall cheese feel of the movie, but I suppose it did well with depicting the struggles of a young gay Mormon. I cried. And apparently this movie was protested a lot... especially in Utah, which I guess isn't surprising.
I also finally watched Donnie Darko, which I was hesitant to at first, just because it got so much hype. And throughout most of it, I thought it was just another pretentious "artsy" film, but the whole thing is just this big puzzle that I'm still piecing together, which I like, so I'll have to write about it some other time... or not, because you're probably all bored to death of this. I'm still trying to piece together Mulholland Dr., and I'm starting to wonder if we're just meant to never understand the movie.
