I've not, though I just read of its existence while I was looking at Clue's wiki page.

Melancholia -- From a wedding reception gone wrong to a planet on a collision course with the earth, this could be categorized as a disaster film, but a disaster film written and directed by Lars von Trier is a VERY different thing from one by, say, Irwin Allen, Roland Emmerich, or Michael Bay.

Taiyou Musume to Umi (1998) -- The videotape calls this "The Movie," but it's actually 13 really short TV episodes glommed together into a 110-minute feature. Marin (Tate Misato) and Nagisa (Heike Michiyo) are pirate radio DJs who broadcast from their cars in the seaside region of Shounan. Drama ensues after their identical shopping bags get mixed up while they're at Submarine Dog, a hot dog stand in a double-decker bus, run by the five members of Morning Musume。The late Yanagihara Hiromi also stars, as Marin's sidekick at the mixing board.

Super (2010) -- Rainn Wilson becomes a superhero who conks criminals on the head with a pipe wrench in this hilariously twisted and violent indie comedy. Amazing supporting cast, too: Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion as the Holy Avenger.

Tonight on Off Beat Cinema: The Comedy of Terrors, a delightful AIP horror-comedy from 1963, starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and Basil Rathbone. What a cast!

Paranormal Activity 3.

It sucked slightly less than the first one and slightly more than the second one.

I watched The Muppets and thoroughly enjoyed it.

^ Since it's not playing in downtown Berkeley, I forgot that it had already opened! I guess I'll have to head down to Emeryville tomorrow....


Last movie seen:

Avi Nesher's She (1982). Sandahl Bergman plays She, who bathes in the fountain of youth and is worshipped as a goddess somewhere in post-apocalyptic America. It's a ridiculous B-movie romp that bears virtually no resemblance to H. Rider Haggard's novel.

Tommy Wiseau's The Room (2003). Y'all should know by now that I have a thing for REALLY AWFUL MOVIES. Here's what a few IMDb reviewers have to say about it:

A friend of mine recently said it was as if a deer made a movie about human interaction, unable to comprehend what it is to be a human being.

Imagine a two-hour episode of "Red Shoe Diaries" written and directed by Balki from "Perfect Strangers".

Whilst all the actors in the film are bad – soft-core porn bad – Wiseau imbues the film with a kind of transcendent badness. He's not bad, so much as he is unaware of the rules of good.

"Oh hi Denny."

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer -- A delightful screwball comedy from 1947, starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and teenage Shirley Temple.
