just a mirror for the sun

Movie club again last night! stv's choice, which was ostensibly "Road Movies" but in fact turned out to be "non-Hollywood politically sub-texted road movies set in rural areas of third-world countries and focusing on revelations of sexual infidelity". This is, of course, because there are no new ideas any more, but mostly because humans are pattern ( Read more... )

I loved Y Tu Mama. :)

For such a gritty and, at times, smutty film it's a complete charmer. Beautifully made. Restores one's faith in intelligent cinema.

Diego Luna has gone on to become a film director, apparently. Looking forward to what he produces.

La Mala Educacion is also a good piece of Mexican film, although not for the very sensitive. Gael Garcia Bernal is super hot.

Might have to retract that first statement, as I'm currently watching him on TV in a 2002 vampire film with Jon Bon Jovi, called Vampires: Los Muertos. It's so bad. Oh lordy.

Hm, I have not seen either of those. Though I am anticipating Season of the Witch

Brave man. Apparently it's Nic Cage's worst film, which is saying something. :-)

"You know I am a fan of Nic Cage and Ron Perlman (whose very existence made the "Hellboy" movies possible). Here, like cows, they devour the scenery, regurgitate it to a second stomach found only in actors and chew it as cud. It is a noble effort, but I prefer them in their straight-through Human Centipede mode."

Hahaha. Lets just hope it falls into the "so bad its good" category.

Eek, Human Centipede reference! aargh! Although it would take a threat in approximately that order to make me see the film, so I suppose it's appropriate...

"Hierdie is MY kaffirs!" Yes, I also loved White Wedding. It's just one cliche after another... but so much fun.

Have put both on my Netflix list. To watch while I ride the exercise bike.

Make sure the kiddies don't wander in while you're watching Y tu mamá. It really has an awful lot of extremely unabashed teen sex in it, and will infallibly cause you to have to have That Talk a while earlier than you might have planned. Also, no impressionable child should get their idea of sex from teen male shenanigans. It's an unfair handicap for later life.

Other than that, hope you enjoy them ;>.
