Movies

When someone dies a horrible death, their spirit becomes confused and angry. It becomes…Vinyan. Perhaps coincidentally, the same thing happens to viewers of this film…

Only one paltry release worth buying this week, but it’s an award winner! And for those of you not interested in a Forrest Gump redux we have plenty of rentals to keep you busy…

To paraphrase my third favorite dead playwright, The Limits Of Control is a tale told by an idiot, full of pubic mound and Murray, signifying nothing.

The British are coming! The British are coming! Into a hacked-off chunk of human flesh… in this not-so delightful British romp about immigrant workers, insanity, airplanes, rape, cannibalism, murder, torture, and other family values.

This week… Bride Wars, The Hit, Hotel For Dogs, In The Realm Of The Senses, JCVD, Martyrs, Nothing But The Truth, One Eyed Monster, Satanic Sluts III, The Uninvited, and While She Was Out!

Last week Foreign Objects covered a serious and sobering film about torture and the limits of the human spirit. This week we review a movie featuring penis push-ups.

Rob Hunter continues his DVD buying rampage with a Battlestar Galactica spin-off, a major horror franchise box set and 2008’s great comeback story.

Hunger is a grotesquely beautiful film that captures both a finite time in history and the enduring will of the human spirit. It features mesmerizing performances, powerful visuals, and a sensory experience unlike any other film this year. What it does not do is present a neutral and unbiased viewpoint.

Brian Gibson takes a week off of buying DVDs and Rob Hunter steps in to lend his advice on what you should be buying at your local retailer this week.
