Yes, I realized it after posting. Dino has got more than a few pointers on horror movies. He knows more on the subject than anyone I know. Haven’t been able to suggest anything to him he doesn’t already know… Sometimes he can give me a title if I only give him a few elements of narrative. He’s just amazing!Quote:

I love horror! Most serious movies end up being pretentious or badly made. With horror, you just let go and enjoy. Even when it’s really bad, you just enjoy it because it’s bad!

The weakness in the film is the rebellious scoutlet, the actor gives a one-dimensional acting performance set against an improbably good-looking girl -it would have made more sense if the girl were, for example, overweight and not pretty, but that's the movies.

An awesome storyline based on Bruce Lee's mentor. Very well made throughout.
A Danish film called The Hunt which was a very powerful drama about a kindergarten teacher wrongfully accused of paedophilia. (In the present moral panic sparked by the Jimmy Saville affair in the UK it seemed even more pertinent). A study of how a simple accusation can turn into a life wrecking witch hunt. It does not avoid the moral and social complexities.
i saw 7 Psychopaths yesterday and Argo on Friday.
Argo is a good movie but obviously there is nothing new there as it is based on a true story...the affleck is actually good in it.
7 Psychopaths is not a very good movie. it has promise but doesn't know if it wants to be an action dark comedy or art house film and it gets lost in the middle.

Howl (Epstein & Friedman, 2011)
On BBC last night -I wasn't expecting much, and yet was hooked on this film and loved every minunte of it -Franco's voice is too falsetto compared to Ginsberg's own, but the animation is great and the concentration of the film around the trial and the taping of memories gives it a digestible form. Oddly, given the importance of jazz to ginsburg and the beats, it was mostly absent from the film. Also, this is a documentary rather than a feature film, but given how hard it is to make a film about poetry (some of the best films are in their own way, a form of visual poetry) this is an outstanding success. Ginsburg remains a major figure in 20th century literature, yet these days poetry never shocks, nor does literature. Those were the days! Also there is a sly cheating in the film when Ginsburgsays something that is actually a quote from Gregory Corso's poem Marriage, also linked below. Enjoy!
