Day 18: Immortel Ad Vitam

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: TBD Year:TBD

Plot: Horus (the god) comes back to a futuristic world to impregnate a mutant with blue hair while in the body of a man with a metal leg.

Review: This is absolutely the hardest movie to pay attention to even while looking at the screen the whole time. So much weird shit happens in the background that it is impossible to focus on everything. Also Horus who is a man with a bird head talks through his neck. Some people are computer animated. Some are not. Oh and weird little dudes come out of the walls. So entertaining

Day 4: Serial Mom

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: 94 minutes Year: 1994

Plot: Exactly what it sounds like: a mom goes on a serial killing spree.

Review: First off it is a John Waters movie. I tend to love most things campy. Also there was a reasonable body count, something that the atrocity that is Shutter, did not have. The gore wasn't too gory.  The cast was rad: Kathleen Turner, Ricki Lake, Matthew Lillard, Patty Hearst, and a special guest appearance by Suzanne Somers (just to name a few). After years of Lifetime movies, I am used to getting bored once the crimes are committed and it goes to the courtroom. The courtroom scenes remain just as entertaining as the rest of movie. The only complaint I can muster is that John Waters did not make the Serial Mom miniseries starring Suzanne Somers that is mentioned in the movie. Kathleen Turner should really look for more roles in which she gets to scream "cocksucker" at Mink Stole. Incredibly entertaining.

Day 2: Purple Rain

Method of Acquisition: Borrowed

Runtime: 111 Minutes Year: 1984

Plot: Prince is a very talented musician from an abusive home and Morris Day is trying to ruin his life by taking his women and gigs.

Review: This movie has everything I love about movies: musical montages, predictability, slap fights, and amazing wardrobe. The only major downside was that no one had a single tear falling down their face. There was a lot of dry crying and symmetrical crying but no single tears. The absolute best moment is while Prince is passionately singing about his comatose father and kisses one of the girls in the band on the cheek. She gets the best, most creeped out face ever. Also, it ends on a freeze frame of a big face. Big face endings are my favorite.
