The 16 mm shrine (loserdom!)

OMG. ¿The next Filthy Critic?

Ash Karreau hate films, and soon you will too.

Visit his blog here. ;*)

Some gems, and I quote:

The best performance of the picture comes from Karen Black, but this may be because pretty much everyone else in the film is awful, and she shines in comparison, kind of like watching amateur porn on the internet and fixating on the one girl who’s an amateur by choice, not by virtue of bad skin and a thyroid condition.



Written by Roald Dahl, the novel is one of a series of children’s stories that seem appropriate for kids at first but clearly exhibits the kind of violent creepiness most often seen inChristopher Walken films and John Wayne Gacy’s paintings of clowns .



Actually, he’s not even that popular, it’s just that he’s infiltrated into the ranks of cult directors worshipped by snotty video store clerks hoping their nerdy taste will somehow elevate them to Quentin Tarantino status in the eyes of the attractive waitresses from the all-night coffee shop next door.


...sort of like a Tarantino movie but without the occasional amoral bloodbath to liven things up

Aw! Sweet bitterness. I´m his fan.
