Couldn't find that on Netflix so went with the 1945 original...

This potent mixture of melodrama and film noir was nominated for six Oscars and features a standout performance by Joan Crawford. When police interrogate restaurateur Mildred Pierce (Crawford) after finding her second husband dead, will her obsession with her selfish oldest daughter (Ann Blyth), cause Mildred to sacrifice herself to protect her child?

Watched "Marwencol" the other night. It's a documentary about a man who was beat within inches of his life and subsequently forgot everything about his past. He begins creating his own world with dolls and photographing the storylines and 1/6th scale towns he builds as a therapy for himself since the state cut off his alimony money that was paying for clinical therapy. He reconstructs himself through the lives of dolls. Although he seems like a bit of a weird dude, it was an overall great movie about not giving up and how a passion for something can heal.

"wasteland" I watched after someones recommendation and it was a great movie. An artist goes to the worlds biggest garbage dump and makes mosaic portraits of the workers there with the garbage, and then he gives them the proceeds of the artwork to change their life.

"Dogtooth" Was another rec and it was one of the worst movies I've seen in many years.

I would not recommend that movie to the average peep. Don't know who recommended that to you but I said...

but got Dogtooth for tonight. Oscar nominated Greek film not highly rated by many but a friend recommended it. Listed as 'Cerebral, Dark, Mind-Bending, Scary'. We'll see...

My freebie with Dogtooth was Scott Pilgrim vs the World and liked that one way better.

I also said...

Dogtooth - totally bizarre, definitely perverted and beyond strange.

Which it was.

If you wanna watch something truly disturbing, try...

1. Salo 120 days of Sodom (1977): The last film from controversial Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini, Salo is a well-mounted adaption of the infamous work by the Marquis de Sade. Updated to World War II when the Fascists have overtaken Italy, this movie is almost unwatchable because it makes a heartfelt attempt to be as disgusting cinematically as de Sade (the man who gave sadism its very name) was in print.

The plot line has a group of adolescents being used as human fodder to satisfy the perverted desires of a band of Fascists who have occupied a castle in war-torn Italy. The Fascists are also using the spoken memoirs of several prostitutes to ignite their already sick scenarios the human mind can devise.

It's #1 on one site which rated the top 13 most disturbing and controversial movies ever made. Not saying it's good but that #1 ranking might be well deserved!

I don't remember who told me about it, it was just on a list I have. Honestly I wouldn't recommend that movie to anyone. It reminded me a lil bit of that M. Night Shyamalan movie "the village". Except you remove any logical aspect of the plot, and replace what is missing with incest. Then you have dogtooth.

Boggles my mind it was an oscar nominee. Tells you how bad many foreign movies are if that qualified for the genre.

A father isolates his adult children into a tiny world partitioned from reality, based on unfounded lies and fears to keep them isolated from the rest of the world. Then he has them have sex with each other so they won't look for new people outside the gate.

Well...what could a situation like that really look like? They weren't having sex with each other except toward the end and one time. There was that woman dad brought in from the outside that he worked with to have sex with his son then his daughter started licking her piano keyboard...lol. When that woman got kicked out the next option was incest I guess. I spent some time in upstate New York West of Albany in cow country on one project over 10 years back and that county had the highest rate of incest in New York. There were some strange looking peeps walking around in Schoharie NY...like Deliverance type stuff! The documentary film My Brother's Keeper was filmed in that general area.

I mean what does it look like for people who have chained their kids in a room for all their lives? Strange shit!

I agree Dogtooth was not a good movie and a bit surprised with the nomination myself. The acting and production quality was not very good. I guess for me the premise of the film of what would a situation like that potentially look like was different.

Microcosmos - very cool documentary about insects with only a few minutes of dialogue. Some awesome camera work. Catch a buzz, sit back and enjoy if you're into this kind of stuff.
