I don't remember ever to have been positively surprised tho...

Just check daily and some will sprout eventually.

I just got done the best Canadian Film class ever. Teacher decided "screw work, you guys have enough going on with exams." and let us pick between watching movies or leaving. All the stuck up kids from the Dental Hygiene course left, and the rest of us watched and discussed Pontypool.

Very cool movie. Interesting concept for the spread of the virus. The lead actor had an amazing voice, and the little b-movie bit after the credits was priceless. Lots of Canadian themes too but I won't bore you. :P

Monsters, Inc. with my mom. It's one of her favorites.

Zigeunerweisen (1980)

Seijun Suzuki's unusual film is a mysterious, ethereal drama concerning the relationships between and forces within four people. The action is intermittently distorted, like watching someone walk behind a pane of imperfect glass, the form itself intact and then suddenly twisted and obscured, then back again. We're not sure what actually happened, what is dreamed, and what is misremembered. Freed from studio constraints, Suzuki is able to take his time with the story, and although it slightly drags in spots, feels sometimes dreamlike, sometimes eerie, and sometimes both, ending in a superb, haunting finale that I'm sure will be stuck in my mind for some time.

Highly recommended- V, Alky, Doc, NE, roshiq, and whoever else is interested.

One of the three films of Suzuki's Taisho trilogy. Read about this but never heard from anyone.

Sounds intriguing. You have peaked my interest, Fort, thank you.

Kino release?

Session 9......again, with no lights on and surround sound. Creepy!

Trouble Every Day (2001). French art-house horror at its brutal best. This story starts out menacingly slow and brilliantly unrevealing. Things just do not seem to connect, with the one exception that the viewer somehow knows that horrible things are going to come about. The story never really gets fully developed, but that does not detract from its horrify central element and allows for the imagination to fill in the blanks. There are two scenes that are worthy of special mention for a "most brutal and squeamish scene ever" nomination. The camera work is playful and original, lingering at times in a most threatening manner. The acting was wonderful, with Vincent Gallo owning the central element of this film's importance. The direction-sublime! Overall, this was simply an artful display of intimately terrorizing horror. Merci beaucoup.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1997) I actually liked this movie, kinda. Pretty under-rated and such, I find. :P I'm actually watching it right now. The protagonist just told Leatherface (Who's dressed up as a woman right now) to sit the **** down. and he sat the **** down. Haha! Good one.
