On a movie binge lately, call it football fatigue. Here's 2 more -
Enter the Void - I love a movie where you don't know what's going to happen from scene to scene in this one everything's up for grabs, the sheer bravado on display had me hypnotised - I loved every bloated minute of it. At its heart it's the cornball story of 2 conjoined souls triumphing over death (sort of)- it's like Ghost remade by an amphetamine crazed lunatic.
Excision - Lord above that last five minutes. Sometimes the ending of a film recasts everything that went before. What went before here was a creepy kid in suburbia a la Donnie Darko, May and many others. Some cool faces pop up, Traci Lords can really act, the lead actress is superb. Blah blah blah family drama, weird visions, teenage sexuality then that last five minutes which I'll never forget. Goddam - back to Ivory Coast v Greece to re engage with reality. IMO well worth the 6 quid for the blu ray on Amazon just now- check it out.
