Jamie August 29, 2006 (Hostel)

I get it. Sex and violence sells but this was too much. My issue was not with the sex and nudity but the gore. I was physically ill after watching this movie (literally had stomach aches). Maybe I have turned a corner in my adult life where Q.T. does not do it for us anymore. I loved and own Reservior Dogs but this was, for the most part, boring and just too gross. The twist was sort of interesting but it didn't need to be so bloody and disgusting to get the point across. Not worth it.

Robin - August 29, 2006 (Thumbsucker/Willy Wonka 1971)

We watched Thumbsucker last night. Interesting in an indie way but not terribly compelling.
Soren's officially in love with the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

I really liked Transamerica, Felicity Huffman was excellent ---Bree (Felicity Huffman) gets the shock of her life when a week before her final sex change surgery she discovers a son she didn't know she had. After bailing him out of jail the two set out on a cross-country journey riddled with road bumps. Huffman won numerous awards (and an Oscar nomination) for her role as a man longing to be a woman. Elizabeth Pena, Burt Young, Kevin Zegers and Graham Greene co-star.The Corporation was good once you got into it. Interesting history, does not portray corporations in a good light. ---This documentary charts the spectacular rise of corporations as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our lives. Filmmakers Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott present a timely, entertaining critique of global conglomerates as they chronicle the origins of corporations, as well as their inner workings, controversial impacts and possible futures. The pros and cons are weighed via interviews with social critics such as Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore.
