I haven't written a review of it yet, but here's what I wrote to a friend that I recommended it to:<br /><br />It's not the greatest movie in the world, so why might you want to watch it? Because I absolutely, positively, double your money back guarantee, you have never seen anything like this before.<br /><br />It's The Rocky Horror Picture Show meets the Saw movies meets Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge meets Classic Opera meets an ancient Greek tragedy. Cast in it are award-winning actor Paul Sorvino, Spy Kids' Alexa Vega, Buffy's<br />Anthony Stewart Head, horror movie staple Bill Moseley, Ogre from the band Skinny Puppy, world renowned opera singer Sarah Brightman, and in the category of "why the hell not" - Paris Hilton (who actually does a decent job) - all of them singing songs that are something like what would be produced if Nine Inch Nails collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber.<br /><br />Oh, and it's science fiction.<br /><br />And it's not a spoof.<br /><br />It's the kind of movie where you find yourself saying, "wait a minute - was that Joan Jett?" I also at one point said to myself (in a good way), "what the fuck am I watching?"<br /><br />You may love it, you may hate it, but one thing it definitely will be is an experience. It will also give you grist for cocktail parties - "That's nothing. You should see this movie I once watched...."<br />Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-60433855943217451322012-11-04T17:57:10.276-08:002012-11-04T17:57:10.276-08:00You'll want to skip the movie Salo then, too.You'll want to skip the movie Salo then, too.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-6170546844865099992012-11-03T20:28:20.128-07:002012-11-03T20:28:20.128-07:00*LOL* I guess 21 seems about the right age for har...*LOL* I guess 21 seems about the right age for hard-core horror.

It would have worked for me a lot better if there'd been at least one main character with whom I could have some sympathy. <br /><br />On the other hand, Simon Rumley does a great job with moral ambiguity in his characters -- he creates people who are basically loathsome but whom you can't dismiss altogether. And I thought Noah Taylor's performance was awesome. Totally fucked up and disturbing, but awesome. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-31003220444169603052012-10-30T19:05:16.968-07:002012-10-30T19:05:16.968-07:00Fair enough, Ruth. :-)Fair enough, Ruth. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-21730972891270522882012-10-30T16:12:06.764-07:002012-10-30T16:12:06.764-07:00I really hate Von Trier but I always watch his mov...I really hate Von Trier but I always watch his movies, just so his fans wouldn't say I hate him and I didn't even see his films :) Antichrist is total woman hating garbage, it is beautifully shot but it's one sick film. <br /><br />Irreversible is 10x worse than I Spit on Your grave, really hard to watch.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-72269995582097802052012-10-30T14:51:16.028-07:002012-10-30T14:51:16.028-07:00Audition is certainly one and I just watched Red W...Audition is certainly one and I just watched Red White & Blue the other night.
