This is a BR rip of Gregg Araki’s latest film, his follow up to the great Mysterious Skin (2004), which was probably the best (and best reviewed) film of Araki’s career, after an uneven run of making strange, campy, low-budget films such as The Doom Generation (1995) and Nowhere (1997). Now Araki does something completely different, creating the indie answer to mainstream “pot comedies” such as Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and the Cheech and Chong films. Read More »
It tells about young painter Tchartkoff who bought a weird portrait represented an old man. The portrait appeared to be unfinished, but the power of the handling was striking. The eyes were the most remarkable picture of all: it seemed as though the full power of the artist’s brush had been lavished upon them. At home Tchartkoff moistened a sponge with water, passed it over the picture several times, washed off nearly all the accumulated and incrusted dust and dirt, hung it on the wall before him, wondering yet more at the remarkable workmanship. The whole face had gained new life, and the eyes gazed at him so that he shuddered; and, springing back, he exclaimed in a voice of surprise: “It looks with human eyes!” This was no copy from Nature; it was life, the strange life which might have lighted up the face of a dead man, risen from the grave… And there was only the beginning of horror that was coming to young painter.Read More »

If you have ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a hormonal 14-year-old boy with homosexual leanings, this puts you there. Loosely composed of tender narrative episodes and hallucinatory waking dreamscapes, it follows Logan, an androgynous California loner whose head is perpetually in the clouds. Much of the time our heads are in the clouds with him, following his fevered masturbatory fantasies, his obsession with mountain lions and his tentative friendship with an older boy named Rodeo. An element of jeopardy creeps in when Logan tries to engage Rodeo on a sexual level by calling him for phone sex in the guise of a woman.Read More »

A graying black-clad swordsman slays palace guards, as he flies through the air to an uncertain purpose. Centuries (or is it days?) later, gun-toting, Armani-clad super policemen — Hong Kong’s Saviours — are devastated by a cloaked assassin. Kinetic medieval fantasy; overstructured, outgunned urban nightmare. And that’s only the first ten minutes! A highly entertaining, eye-popping genre bender in every way.Read More »
