It's going to be light posting today due to a busy week.
Last weekend, I caught up with Pedro Almodovar's creepy "The Skin I Live In," which is not among the maestro's best films, but still better than most psychological thrillers.
My reviews for Patch also included "The Thing," a tepid prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 film and one of two '80s rehashes I saw this weekend, and "Texas Killing Fields," an average serial killer drama.
Check out my reviews here.
I also managed to squeeze in Lucky McKee's "The Woman," an extremely horror film in the torture porn genre. I found the picture's brand of horror movie feminism intriguing, but was pretty turned off by its repulsive violence. Also, caught "Footloose." Meh. A few good dance numbers and some pretty bland remakes of '80s chestnuts that should have been left well-enough alone.
This coming weekend, I'm going to definitely catch "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and Aki Kaurasmaki's "Le Havre" and will most likely end up seeing "Paranormal Activity 3."
