Rock All NightRock All Night (1957)
3 stars (Good Enough) Almost surreal bar room sink mix of rock n of hokey clumsy awkwardness, amusing enough
Horse's Mouth, TheHorse's Mouth, The (1958)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) Extremely entertaining and thoughtful. Gritty galley sink tale of art vs life.
Zero Theorem, TheZero Theorem, The (2013)
5 stars (Exceptional) Gillian paces familiar territory. Dystopia holding a mirror to disintegrating internal human architecture. Artful metaphor and allegory illuminating emotional disconnect in a technological society. Great performances
Punishment ParkPunishment Park (1971)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) More twilight of the post summer of love. This would make an amazing triptych with Jesus Christ Superstar and Zabriskie Point. Proof that America changes little in the scale, scope and ferocity of its bi–partisan splits
No Petrol, No Diesel!No Petrol, No Diesel! (2009)
3 stars (Good Enough) delightfully lackadaisical kiwi yarn made on the smell of an oily rag
DVD $34.95
HouseHouse (Hausu) (1977)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) Top notch for them that like it whacky. By turns, gobsmakin and jawdroppin, a Pythonesque St Trinians Hellzapoppin. Would suit a drink game.
Tropical MaladyTropical Malady (2004)
4 stars (Very Good) Weerasethakul gives more ponderous wonder in another wander in the jungle. By the end you do feel like you've been on a holiday even if you don't know where or why. Occupies similar psycholgical space to Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf.
Ichi the KillerIchi the Killer (2001)
4 stars (Very Good) Hmmm, one hestitates to call this a lot of fun, though it is if you have a certain sensibility. But then it could also be a date movie, just not *that* kind of date.
They LiveThey Live (1988)
3 stars (Good Enough) Great premise. Ripe for a contemporary remake a la Trumptown.
Pervert's Guide to the Cinema, ThePervert's Guide to the Cinema, The (2006)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) a twisty hilarious romp through cinema and the mind
