"The Institute" - part documentary, part scavenger hunt, part art project. Felt good all day after watching it.

The History of Future Folk. The best ever indie movie about a fictitious band from the planet Hondo. Knocks right on your feels at the end, everyone should play a banjo song for their special lady and they do it well.

TV series on netflix.

"Dark Secrets"
I am dying.
Netflix lists it as "TV SHOWS, Reality TV, Investigative Reality TV, and Scary"
well, it got one right. it is a tv show..

It's done as a Unsolved Mysteries homage. but its absurdly fake, all the while TELLING you its real.
Its so hilariously bad. I can't tell if its trying to be serious or what. theres alot of fake paranormal shows out there obviously. But very few will outright give you silly B movie props, and claim them evidence...

Oldboy hit Netflix recently and I was surprised at how much I liked it.

After some of the fight scenes I was wondering if it was based off some 1980's Arcade Game that was a Cult Classic that some how slipped by without me ever hearing of it.

new Oldboy was surprisingly not terrible. Some odd decisions with what they decided to change and I feel like they just changed them to make it different and not in order to add anything but Brolin did a good job as the Dae-su Oh character I thought. Sam Jackson was completely arbitrary and Sharlto Copley was just odd. Lee did a good job with the things that Lee is always good at but the fights did trend towards arcadey, missed the impact of the original hallway scene.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the korean flick War of the Arrows is great. It's kind of like Apocalypto where half the movie is a crazy ass chase scene.

Its almost as funny as Shawn of the Dead.

I totally lost it at the "zombie in the airplane closet for 9 hours without making any noise, and in fact was even on the plane somehow before the zombies overran the wall" joke.

Murder mystery set in Sweden. Flashbacks to Chinese building railroads in 1800s Nevada, Also present day Beijing. Reminded me of "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Also, same guy is in it. (swedish version of GWTDT, which was better tan US) Lots of narrow escapes, beautiful scenery.

I don't know if Netflix has this available, but my wife and I saw this really good Japanese movie that was pure water works. I swear we both cried upwards of 4 times in this film. It was really beautiful (in a moving kind of way). I only found it because I like to randomly give my wife Japanese shit, and this was one of the gifts. I'm pretty sure it won an Oscar for best foreign film.

Anyway, it's called "Departures". A movie about a guy that gets a job working for the Japanese equivalent of a funeral home, and all of the preparation work they do to the body so that the family can see it one more time. It's powerful. Also: subtitles.




Another movie that we both liked, but no where near the same caliber, is a german film called "Vitus". It's a movie about this genius kid that becomes a master of piano. It's a neat look at a happy story. This one is also subtitled.

If this was based off the Henning Mankell novel which it sounds like, thanks for the recommendation. I highly recommend his book as well if you like Swedish mysteries.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like that door led to the elevator/dumb-waiter thing that goes down to the cargo hold, or whatever. So theoretically a zombie made it in through the landing gear, and found his way to that apparatus, and wasn't making any noise because he spent most of the time in the hold, until it was raised up for the woman to access it.

Shrug.
