I like browsing around imdb looking for old and new things to watch. I probably spend as much time on that site as I spend time watching movies (or even working, ha!). For example, I just found out about this young hottie named Lisa Marcos who is one of the protagonist of a Tv series called The Listener, which apparently has already been cancelled in the US.
Stephen McHattie appears in one episode of that series. He is in a movie I saw a few months ago, called Pontypool (which is also a town in Wales, but the movie doesn’t have anything to do with that). I thought that was an interesting movie, I’d even suggest you try to go see it (the DVD hasn’t been released yet, so I don’t know if you’ll be able to watch the movie in theaters for now). I found it to be original, and a bit entertaining. But, I have to warn you that this movie is not for everybody. Some might find it boring, because nothing really happens. It’s a zombie movie without zombies. It’s a dialog movie (in fact, words are one of the protagonists of this movie). In conclusion, it’s a movie that you’ll either love or hate; there’s no in-between.
Actually, I’d say that this is a movie that you don’t really need to see, but you need to listen to. Considering the entire movie happens in a radio station, and the star of the movie (Stephen McHattie) spends 70% of the time talking into a microphone, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
It was directed by Bruce McDonald, who’s also the director of The Tracey Fragments
(starring Ellen Page), which is a completely bizarre and confusing movie (I’ll have to watch it again to see if I like it). The movie is based on the novelPontypool Changes Everything
. I’m interested in reading that book, although I don’t know if it’s any good.
Zombies aside, let’s talk about cheating wives for a bit. I recently decided that Nastassja Kinski is gorgeous, and now I’d like to see as much of her work as possible (there’s a reason for that, but I might talk about it in future posts). I just saw one of her movies: Cold Heart
and it is a bad movie. I mean, it’s not that bad if you have nothing else to do, but it’s not original at all, you’ll have the feeling you’ve seen similar movies a thousand times before.
Why then should you see it? Reason one: you get to see Nastassja Kinski without any clothes (that always adds points to any movie); she’s also in a couple cool sex scenes. But, if that doesn’t convince you, let me ask you something: are you a fan of LOST? If so, this is a must see for you, because the movie has two of the stars of your favorite Tv shows in it: Josh Holloway, the crazy guy who seduces Nastassja Kinski, and Jeff Fahey (you know, he’s Frank the Pilot in LOST), who is the cheating husband. You see, everybody’s cheating everybody in this movie, so Nastassja Kinski is the cheating wife (the title of the post makes sense now). If you’re a woman, let me tell you this: Josh Holloway and Nastassja Kinski have a couple of very steamy scenes here.
Will you see any of these two movies?
