The Elephant Man (1980, Directed by David Lynch)
Based on the true story of Joseph Merrick, a 19th-century Englishman afflicted with a disfiguring congenital disease. With the help of kindly Dr. Frederick Treves, Merrick attempts to regain the dignity he lost after years spent as a side-show freak. IMDB
Classic !!!.

Not for the faint of heart. John Cameron Mitchell's rip-roaring drama comedy about a collective of young people trying to connect with each other in post-9/11 New York approaches explicit sex in cinema unashamedly. One particularly memorable scene is an explicit gay threesome with rimming and blowjobs in close-up, and then a guy singing the national anthem into someone's ass while someone uses a dick as a microphone. There's also a number of explicit orgy scenes and heterosexual sex. Mitchell approached sex as another thing to be communicated, disliking the idea that a film with a plot that centralises sex should still dutifully refuse to film below the waist. It's an enthralling experience just to watch the film's nuances, what is effectively an art film in a more accessible package manages to cover all bases. The plot is fantastic, dealing with a various number of conflicting and introverted dilemmas, the writing is top-notch, the direction is great and the performances are astounding, especially considering the professionalism in the face of the subject matter and the medium. Undoubtedly a success of a film.
9/10.

Wanted, or whatever that Angelina Jolie movie was called.
Appalling.
Tomorrow, I shall see "The forbidden kingdom". I can't wait.

I just finished watching Spawn. The live-action one with John Leguizamo as Clown. I think it's a pretty bad ass movie.

The Pianist
After watching this film, it is hard to describe exactly how I'm feeling. At the end of the film I'm distraught, detached, I'm starved, parched, exhausted. I feel like I put all of myself just into watching it, into feeling it. It's almost as if I went on a journey the same as Wladyslaw and now every fibre of my being is completely spent. This is Polanski's finest film. I can't relay to you just how this film affected me. The cinematography is sublime, the dialogue fantastic and the performances are just flawless. Moving, breathtaking, potent, horrifying and ultimately crushing, watching this film was a strange experience that reaffirmed to me how film is a beautiful, valuable and affectatious art form. I've not experienced anything like it before. Hopefully I will again.
10/10.

BTS, have that. Good movie. JCC, will have to see that. BTW, my emotionally draining movie was, and still is, "The Elephant Man." Just got through watching "Dick Tracy" again, just because the color scheme is so outrageous. As for amazing cinematography, "Kwaidan" is my best bet (it's a collection of Japanese ghost stories). It's not like watching Hellboy or Star Wars, or any of the later digitized movies, but the special effects for the time period (it was made in the 1960's) are awesome.

Think it might've been Orange County. One of my favourite films ever.
There's a lot of films out now in cinema that I want to see: Pineapple Express, The Strangers, Step Brothers, Mirrors, Get Smart, Tropic Thunder...etc.

I just saw [rec]. I'm in shock. They took my two fears, creepy little girls and zombies, and put them together. For the first part of the movie they don't know whats going on and its like "FUCK GET AWAY FROM THOSE BODIES THEY ARE INFECTED." So there was the stress of anticipation there. And then the zombies.....fuck man. I was knitting at the same time and had to pretend to be concentrating on that so I didn't have to watch. Its been a long long time since a movie frightened me that bad.
