The Man Who Fell to Earth
While I enjoyed David Bowie’s performance in “Labyrinth” this one is a little hard to swallow. Most of the film feels like a film student’s midterm project/wet dream. While I did enjoy the excessive female nudity, I didn’t want to see either Rip Torn or David Bowie. Either way, at least I can say I saw the film - I wonder how the book is?

Jack Frost
Not the Michael Keaton family movie. This movie is not even worthy of being a bad horror movie. The most disappointing is Shannon Elizabeth’s vanilla role. No nudity here fellas - even though there is a bath scene followed by snowman rape - but it isn’t horrifying or funny, just kinda sad. Imagine if I took a video camera and made a horror movie about lawn gnomes. Aren’t there any good horror movies being made anymore?

Zach Galifianakis: Live
He has a zany deadpan delivery that I like, but his comedy is very spacious and laid-back. Also, his twin-brother schtick gets old after ten minutes. I would see him live though - and he should play more piano.

Next up: Kinsey, Castle in the Sky, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

PS - Don’t see Prom Night - it’s the worst horror movie out there right now, even for pre-teens, which it seems to be made for.
