Movies
Dr. Giggles
The NY Times said it best: Dr. Giggles is a horror film about a pudgy, mad, very general practitioner (Larry Drake) who is inclined to giggle in moments of stress, which are frequent. And if you think the murderousness bad, wait til you get his bill!
Mother and Child
Three mothers in need of a child. Three children, one not yet born. Three lives, obscurely linked. Annette Bening, Naomi Watts and Kerry Washington create three distinct characters with three distinct lives who don’t all share the same problem but believe they share the same solution.
Flooding with Love For the Kid
Remember First Blood? The first Rambo film? Its been remade. But this version is a bit different, insofar as its directed, filmed, acted and edited entirely in a 220-square-foot studio apartment in Manhattan, with a total budget of $96 by one man. An outsider-cinema masterpiece . Oberzans mania knows
Dillinger
If you think John Dillinger looked like Johnny Depp, Saturday Night Sinema wants you to think again. The great Warren Oates, who plays him here, was a lot closer to reality, and gives another memorable, definitive performance in the title role. (Channel 4 Film).
Cropsey
OTTAWA PREMIERE Realizing that the boogeyman stories of their youth have come true, two filmmakers investigate the mystery behind five missing children and uncover a reality more terrifying than any urban legend. Sounds like a pretty standard horror film, doesnt it? And it would be, except for one thing:
Ghost World
SUNDAY NIGHT GEEK NIGHT I understand theres another movie based on a comic book playing now and featuring Scarlett Johansson. But Ill stick with this Oscar-nominated tale of teen alienation from master misanthropologists Daniel Clowes and Terry Zwigoff, thanks.
Square, The
When an adulterous couple concocts a plan to steal a satchel full of illegal money, what could possibly go wrong? Quite a bit, it turns out, in this outstanding Aussie neo-noir tour of moral squalor that is suspenseful, invigorating and sometimes harshly funny. (NY Times)
Mother and Child
Three mothers in need of a child. Three children, one not yet born. Three lives, obscurely linked. Annette Bening, Naomi Watts and Kerry Washington create three distinct characters with three distinct lives who don’t who don’t all share the same problem-but believe they share the same solution.
Player, The
Is The Player one of the greatest films ever made about Hollywood? Yes. Now, more than ever. Rated AA
Rust Never Sleeps
Documenting Neil Youngs 1978 concert at San Frans Cow Palace, this film is the reason his fans are called Rusties. Fittingly, this original print is a bit rusty, but still rockin.
