Caught Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden last night. I liked it well enough, but part of me wishes that it really was just a straight story about a handmaiden who gets seduced and then locked up in an insane asylum. Don't get me wrong, Park's usual twists-and-turns are entertaining in their own right, and how the story plays out works in the fantastic, "Sade-esque" context of the story, but, ya know, dif' strokes.

Death By The Blues posted:Hey you Gooooooons, All I can offer up is Frailty and American Psycho, both of which barely qualify as horror.

Coaaab posted:Though cool on it overall, I was amused that the film's climactic outburst was triggered by an erotic drawing of an octupus wrapping itself around a woman.

So from what I've seen the new Resident Evil is hilarious. It's somewhere between Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Evil Dead 2.

As I understand it, Park's film is actually an adaptation of a 2002 British novel, with the setting changed to Korea under colonial Japan. I hadn't even heard of The Housemaid, but I'll have to check it out somehow. (The only YT upload is 'stabilized' to shittyness, and the only Western print available is that choice Martin Scorcese World Cinema Project box set Criterion put out. It's apparently on iTunes, though.) Interestingly, The Housemaid was remade in 2010, and that is currently streaming on Netflix, and doubtless other platforms.

Edit: you missed it on TCM recently, I have it recorded from November I think.

Are we talking about The Haunting where Owen Wilson gets decapitated by a stone lions head? Then yes. But thank you for the Argento and Carpenter suggestions. Those will be helpful.

The new Resident Evil movie wasn't bad but it did suffer from three problems. First, definitely feels like there should've been another movie in between the last one and this one that focused on President Wesker and the White House Throwdown. Second, little too much of a retread of 4 with the whole tower defense thing, didn't add a hell of a lot to the plot and feels like someone jammed a sidequest into the movie. Third and most importantly, not really as dumb as it could've been. Still generally enjoyable.

I'm staying at a hotel in Hollywood not far from the Chinese Theater, but I'm willing to hike/uber a bit. The Egyptian Theater's right down the block from Mann's Chinese Theater, here's a link to their schedule http://aerotheatre.com The New Beverly Cinema and the Silent Movie Theater are two other art house theaters close to the Hollywood area. http://thenewbev.com http://cinefamily.org The diner from Pulp Fiction and the restaurant where DeNiro and Pacino have their sit down in Heat are both out of business (and they just shut down the Formosa, the dive bar from Swingers), but the diner from the opening of Reservoir Dogs is still open and located in Eagle Rock. It's called Pat & Lorraine's and I recommend their breakfast if you decide to check it out. Cash only tho. Here's the Yelp page. Pat & Lorraine's - https://www.yelp.com/biz/pat-and-lorraines-coffee-shop-los-angeles The Dresden was the other bar they go to in Swingers, I'm pretty sure that one's still open, it's located on Vermont, east of Hollywood. The area the Dresden's in is pretty trendy too, with a couple little theaters nearby (the Los Feliz 3 and the Vista) and some other bars and restaurants that make up the Vermont/Los Feliz area. If you're looking for a little more seedier experience, Cheetah's and Jumbo's are two go-go dancing bars that attract big crowds. Jumbo's is a clown-themed bar, but it's crazy popular for whatever reason, and there's usually a line to get in. If you're looking to catch any live music, The Echo/Echoplex, The Satellite, The Roxy, Troubadour, and the Fonda are all really good venues, and the Echo does themed dance nights which are usually pretty cool. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Jan 27, 2017 |
