Just go into it with a nice buzz and low expectations - then again, isn't that true for all life?<br /><br />Jervaise, your resentment toward LAST SUMMER is astonishing. On a coming-of-age misogyny level I find PORKY'S to be far more offensive, and on a sexual assault / evil children level, well, the list is (sadly) endless.Erich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-80654089487662473582011-03-21T15:32:07.211-05:002011-03-21T15:32:07.211-05:00"Machete" is one I've been meaning t..."Machete" is one I've been meaning to see.

It's disturbing, but also compassionate in its portrayal of token resistance to the evil of peer pressure, ala the Lord of the Flies, Thirteen, Kids, Bully, all that. <br /><br />Brent - I agree Sin City is awesome, but the savage brutality of it is harder to handle as a 'fun' film - I remember my date had to walk out halfway through (I stayed!) at the theater. Then again, i have it on DVD and don't have Machete, but that's cuz of the economy curbing my superfluous spending.

For me personally I think Sin City is still Rodriquez's best film though, but Machete is avery close second.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-8369191070837400232011-03-18T15:49:52.259-05:002011-03-18T15:49:52.259-05:00Did you watch the English dub of Caliber 9?

So much for relevance, but all three films of that trilogy kick ass, shoot it, stab it and blow it up with a grenade launcher.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.com
