Beyond the Black Rainbow:
"BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a pure 100% pharmaceutical grade trip. Its not for everyone and will either be loved, or hated (no in between). If you haven't picked up on what I'm putting down, this movie joins that small sub-niche of films like PINK FLOYD'S THE WALL, or A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, where the most benefited viewer is the one that is on drugs:

Saw 'Somersault' - about a young girl who runs from home after being caught by her maw snuggling up to her maws boyfriend.  She carries with her an often cringeworthy sense of naive confidence, latching onto to men to enable a forseeable stability.  It was pretty disturbing in places - but yeah, good.  The lead lass was pretty darned hot to...a quality they brought to the fore with the way guys reacted to her.

i loved this when it first came out. i quickly came to dislike abbie cornish though. everyone else plays their role so well. if you ever come across the dvd of somersault there is a short film that shortland did called 'flower girl'. it floored me.

decoder ring did an amazing job with the music. they did the music for jewboy, another great australian film, as well.

Heh - funny you should say that about Abbie - I said to my lady that there was something about her that women especially would dislike (obviously the character she played in somersault didnt help disprove this)...just something about her..ways.

oh no, i liked her in the movie. she played a 16 year old perfectly fine. it was a year later that i just started to dislike her. i could tell early on that she was going to get cast as the pretty girl in every film.

I definitely had problems with her character. She was waaaay to flighty for my liking. At the same time, I found myself relating to her. She just had a tendency to go cuckoo and that was irritating.

I loved the score the Decoder Ring did for this film, though. Great stuff.

you really should watch jewboy. you'll love it.

[chick de la lynch]

Of course I'll watch Jewboy. The title is already fucking awesome!

watched devil last night. i'm never getting into elevators again.

[lithium]

thor sucked

[lukas989]

Watched 'Tell No One' - fucking ace.  Similar sort of story to stuff like The Vanishing, and the Girl who Played with Fire - guy is with his wife at the start and after an argument he hears her shout, he heads in her direction only to be smacked about, and knocked unconcious.  Cuts to 8 years later - where she has apparently been killed - doubt raised by an anonymous email he receives showing her in an apparently recent video clip.  Cue much action, revelation and craziness...top notch - I recommend highly.

watched snowtown. gave me the heebie-jeebies.

[blixa]

snowtown is actually the most fucked up movie i have ever watched. it is perfect, but i don't recommend anyone to watch it. it's literally dante's hell. IT IS FUCKED UP!

[poofing acid]

Anyone else looking forward to seeing Emily Browning naked?

[blixa]

i've been to two parties where she's been present. she's kind of annoying.

[bright lights, big city]

that still shouldn't stop you from trying to lez out with her.

[blixa]

i personally wouldn't lez out with her. her physical looks don't appeal to me.

Nice job ignoring me.  #winning

i still think you're a piece of poo.

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

I Saw The Devil is the best film I've seen in years.

Oh FUCK yes. The more Korean films I watch, the more boners I get over how fucking amazing Korean cinema is. Jesus fucking christ that was a great movie. As great as whats-his-face was in Oldboy, his performance in this blew my fucking mind.

The whole fucking movie blew my mind. Throughout the whole damn thing something fucking badass was happening or you could sense that something badass was going to happen any second.

watched eden lake last night. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ENDING??? made me so fucking angry.

[bright lights, big city]

I totally agree. I normally say I don't want some lame Hollywood happy ending, but goddamn that ending pissed me off. I just wanted SOMETHING to go right in the end.
At least we got to see Michael F. Assbender. That dude is awesome.

[blixa]

i love fassbender! can't wait to see him in jane eyre. his character was so lame in the film. i was screaming for him to slap brett in the face with his dick. i found it highly unplausible that the other characters were so easily bullied into doing the horrible things they did by brett, who was brilliantly played by o'connell. and the parents! argghhhh. i wanted to slap all of them. there was no break from the horrible things that kept happening.

i also loved that most of the young people that were doing the terrorising were all in shane meadows' films. super.

[blixa]

just watched letters to father jaakob. cried my eyes out. i loved how reserved the character of leila is and how breathtaking father jaakob was. it wasn't long enough.

[bright lights, big city]

it wasn't long enough.

that's not what father jaakob said. hey-o!
