Finishing up Mocktober:
STRANGE FRAME: LOVE & SAX (2012): Certified weird! "Imagine dropping a hefty dose of LSD on the set of
Blade Runner, and you walk through a door and suddenly you’re in the
Star Wars cantina. Now, imagine that experience animated by the team behind
Fantastic Planet working under the direction of Ralph Bakshi, take that result and square the weirdness quotient, and you have some inkling of Strange Frame‘s visuals."
ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW (2013): Three separate opinions on the guerrilla surrealist feature shot at Disney World without park permission
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988): "...the film’s strangest invention [is] the Catbus: literally, a fuzzy bus with a tail and a Cheshire cat grin."
THE INTRUDER (1962): "Alas, awards do not count as a return on investment, and a desperate Corman and his initial distributor Pathé made the drive-in rounds with four different titles in a vain effort to recoup costs. Whether under the moniker
Shame,
The Stranger, or
I Hate Your Guts, it was a hopeless cause."-AE
AEGRI SOMNIA (2008): "When Edgar’s shrewish wife prepares a nice supper for him, berates him, and then kills herself in the bathtub, Edgar is plunged into a waking nightmare of heightened anxiety, loneliness and frightening 'what-if's?"-PD
SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME (2012): "...an experiment that dares to ask the question: just how deadpan can you make your comedy before the funny completely evaporates? It comes perilously close to finding the answer."
PICTURES OF SUPERHEROES (2012): "[Marie] gets hired by Eric (Shannon McCormick), a high-strung businessman who’s so busy, he scrounges from the vacuum cleaner since he doesn’t have time to cook, and who doesn’t even notice that he has a roommate, Joe (John Merriman), a friend from college whose main interest is eating candy and drawing amateurish pictures of superheroes."-LRH
