Watched Valhalla Rising. Pretty good. With decent sound and video projection on canvas, the movie gets probably much more justice than on computer. It has such an artistic edge to it, that whole thing kind of moves backwards. Intensity is more in the beginning, and chapters move into less action paced, more slow landscape and dreamy sequences. Good.
Bitch Slap
Oh my god. I know it will suck, but still rented dvd. Someone said it is re-make of Faster Pussycat kill kill, but fuck. How much do I hate the computer effects in movies. That was the thing in Valhalla Rising, which I didn't like. The kind of glow & spot lights generated by effects. You see characters glowing from background or something like area of eyes is glowing like cheap photoshop effect... pff.. Well, this Bitch Slap is supposed to be tribute to all the b-movies, and while the first credits go on, you can see lots of short clips from various cult movies with strong female figures. But when movie itself goes on, mix together some Charlie's Angels movies with hip-hop video aesthetics, and that's pretty much what it is. Violence? Yeah, some. Tits? Yeah, some. But I dare to say, I probably have more tits and violence in my body when I take shower.
The Killer Inside Me
Another rental dvd. Late 40's texas police officer turn out to be psycho killer. It's pretty good actually. I do dislike the Casey Affleck's faggy voice and all that, but instead of the cool violence of Bitch Slap, in this movie, violence is blunt and realistic. Psycho gives intense fucking face beating to Jessica Alba. Kicks shit out of Kate Hudson until she pisses under herself while dying. It is labeled to be "thriller", yet I don't know should it maybe be black comedy/drama? Anyways, there are some bizarre moments of the psycho having flashbacks of his half brother raping 5 year old girl in backseat of car. And flashback of him as kid slapping and beating his mother (who later died). Mother revealing her masochistic desires, showing bruises how daddy spanks her and how the little boy should do it to her as well.
Decent story is build with little surprises. Nothing spectacular, but wins the bitch slap type failures any day.
