House of Last Things (2013)
Are you kidding me...
BALLOONS?
What the hell..This movie is unfortunately unbearable to watch. I am sorry to say this and to take the time to point out how flawed and pretentious this movie is but I feel I have the duty to tell.
And I think the blame is mostly on the director who has NO eye for photography and lighting.. the shots are flat and, I am sorry to say, but amateur looking. The lighting would have made all the difference and a good DOP would have certainly helped.
PLEASE STOP IT WITH THE BALLOON ALREADY.. its the worst imagery symbolism I saw in a long while.
The actors are all overdoing it especially the punk-horny-then-turned- intellectual guy......
I am sure this was maybe fun to shoot, but holy god its horrible. And the music is again tries to be some sort of symbolism too, but it just doesn't work.. but oh god the lighting.. and the writing... The characters says stupid inane stuff.
Would not recommend and would not even discuss among friends. I am sorry but this movie is a complete wet fart.
OH before I go I will say the opening credit was the only thing I truly enjoyed and it had me somewhat intrigued. Yet laughing at the flying golf clubs because it reminded me of Caddy Shack instantly.
Vampyres (2007)
Somewhat ridiculous
Seeing people with fangs and the vampiric attitude reminds me of my high school when I was Larping ( live-action role playing). Fortunately I outgrew having my fangs glued on running around in a trench coat at night pretending I am a supernatural creature spawned of the devil himself.
These people didn't.
I don't care of what they are saying about themselves."I am a predator" "It represents how i FEEL inside" Granted they all look fantastic if you are into these aestethical choices, I truly think all of them suffer from a great social awkwardness since they have this urge to distinguish themselves from the rest of humanity, otherwise their shallow personalities might not be enough for a real sense of identity.
As the unnamed shop guy with rastas says "It all depends on what kind of vampire you feel you are". This is all just glamor and Hollywood worship. Nothing more than that. Nothing more than a business with scarce customers.
Now for the meeting where they distribute territories and everything. It is EXACTLY what we use to do while "Larping" minus the hand gestures, power displays and rock-paper-scissors. To think of it that was very fun and slightly less moronic than actually thinking we were vampires.
I have a question for all these people. Are you so insecure about yourself that you have to make sure EVERYBODY KNOWS that you are 'dark' and dangerous? When you probably aren't the child raping cannibal you project.
The choice of blood drinking is an odd one but then again it is totally your choice. I just think you'd better make sure that blood isn't infected with some crass disease.But then again your vampiric stomach acids will vampirize them. And for the human sacrifice they rave about? If there is such a thing, it is manslaughter and I don't care "vampire" or not, you deserve to be trialed and put into jail.
The documentary in itself is very very ordinary. The music is very generic, the photography is very bland. Agreed that this filmed only at night,still there is no memorable shots. No real structure, just a sloppy overview of the next-gen Gothics. It took three years to film this? I didn't had any sense of that apart from that monotone narrator. I also would have love subtitles instead of cheesy over-acted voiceovers. Definitely a documentary to see only for the people who were or are into Vampiric things.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Meet the Blacks (2007)
An excellent seamless comeback
I really enjoyed it. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest episode of the whole series.
It's been almost two years since the last episode and God did I missed that show! The great thing about this episode is that it feels fresh, not like it really has been all this time and they had to reformat the show nothing has changed. All is well in curb world. All is well indeed!The formidable chemistry between actors is once again palpable. The cake, the party excuse and the black family are all instant classics. I laughed and laughed at the smoke alarm incident. I know this particular joke is not outrageously original, but seeing Larry struggle at a wire was something . That brings me to the fact that once again, it's always kinda his fault on how thing unfolds.
I really cannot wait for the rest of the season. I really think that it could be the best season to date to this rather excellent series.
