Inception again, this time with the wife in tow.
Note to self - don't take wife to a movie which requires constant explanation to avoid confusion. It ruins the experience considerably.

Halloween 2.
Raises plenty of questions, the biggest being - why the hell was this made? Michael with a long beard without his mask, with Mommy's and his own(!) ghosts in tow, Laurie screaming and bitching throughout, Loomis a total profiteering ass, and a white horse making several guest appearances. Add to all that a generous dose of grisly and gorific killings. These two Zombie movies have made me revere the original 2 Carpenter movies a lot more. Like to forget this in a hurry. The Crazies (remake). Solid. This is how a nicely made remake looks like. Ranks alongside Dawn, TCM and a select few others as one of the more decent remakes of our times. Recommended.

El Callejon de los Milagros (1995). This is a story of humans and their not so selfless desires and shenanigans. The more we come to know and feel for our players, the more we come to despise them. I love that! The cast is strong, with Salma Hayek leading the fray as a character whose amorous doubts, when showered with gifts, evaporate like tears on a dusty Mexican road. Their are no slouches here, but instead top-notch performances in a story adapted from an Egyptian novel center in Cairo. The nadirs of human nature respect no boundaries. With great directing and cinematography, this compelling flick is sure to poke the wrong buttons in all the right ways. Merci beaucoup.
Thriller: The Call Her One Eye (1973). This lovely flick was neat. By this I mean that if you are looking to appreciate a flick with a mean streak, with funky acting, hilariously fake blood, and a revenge sequence whose reality is only topped by its audacity, then this "neat" flick is for you. For the real sickies out there, check out Thriller: A Cruel Picture, which has added some unnecessary stock footage of hardcore porn to this cult classic. Getting back to our story, how could such drudgery get any respect? Through all of the corniness, goofy action, and contrived story-telling, this classic creates an atmosphere that must be seen to be believed. The gritty camera work, the psychotic score, the painful attention to detail gives this flick repose in unimaginable realms of respect. Not for everyone, this exploitation flick has earned its way through ethereal means that might hint of genius. Or not. Late. derek
