The Orphanage

[Chromatose]

I was just checking movie times and decided to see what the film TEETH was about since I saw the name on the hollywood.com frontpage:

High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group''s most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad''s increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.

Del Toro is probably my favourite working director. We have Hellboy 2 this summer to look forward to also.

As for the Orphanage it's really special. I saw it at a special preview last week and it was pretty mind blowing. It's really hard to see how Spanish/Mexican cinema can get any better.

I am Legend wasn't terrible. The Omega Man is better by virtue of The Heston, but Mr Danish (pineapple?) is probably write when he says the book is better. The plot translates better into words.

I am really interested in seeing The Last Man on Earth with VINCENT PRICE!!! because I hear it's closer to the source material than Omega Man or I Am Legend, but not that I really care because I haven't read the book (I'm just in it for the Vincent Price).

While on the topic of movies, I just finished watching Inland Empire. Damn weird and creepy. Anyone seen it?

yes. I'm a really big fan of David Lynch, but I have to say it's a bad movie.

Pan's Labyrinth was brilliant! One of the best movies of 2006.

 

[derek]

It was beaten by Lives of Others to the best foreign language film though, deservedly. That movie was a real education is what cinema can still do and be.

mulholland drive

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

This is a great movie btw.

 

[Chromatose]

YEAH

 

[ms. anthrope]

great movie ....discuss

better than "the devil's backbone?" deltoro (GDT) rules.

 

[Chromatose]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually BY del Toro, I think he just helped do whatever people do when they use their status to attach their name to something and help get it out there.

So , visually, it wasn't nearly on the same level as The Devil's Backbone, but this one was probably better overall! I think the Orphanage was definitely a more effective horror film, if you group them both as that.

After all this talk im gonna have to watch this movie myself, sounds very interesting.
