Last Five Movies


Revolver (2005)
Why is Guy Richie still allowed to make movies? His first two movies were exactly the same, his third was a Madonna vanity project, and this one is a complete piece of shit. Maybe that's why it sat on the shelf for two years and no one has ever heard of it.

Bee Movie (2007)
The most complicated movie ever made about bees. I thought they just flew everywhere. Who knew they used cars?

Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture (1973)
Toei Studios in Japan used to make sex-and-violence movies by the dozens. There were actresses like Reiko Ike (who's in this one) and Miki Sugimoto who only starred in these movies. And they're usually pretty great...except for this one, which is nowhere near as good as Sex and Fury, the movie for which this is a sequel. Lots more sex, but a lot less violence. That's bullshit.

The Ghost Galleon (1974)
Armando de Ossorio made four Blind Dead films, of which this is the third. Regardless of title, they're all pretty much the same: the Blind Dead rise from the grave and kill everyone. And that's about it.

Slow, slow, SLOW week:

The Mist (2007)
Actually, a pretty good adaptation of the Stephen King story, which, in movie terms, isn't saying much, but it's still a decent movie. However, it may contain the greatest ending ever committed to film. The morale of the story: Don't count your chicken before they hatch. Or something like that.

Check it out.
