Great column, man. We need more of these. by Knuckleduster	Feb 6th, 2008 03:10:29 AM
Variety is, after all, the spice of life. Ichi looks great. As does the thing with the penis cannon.
The Cottage by xwoof	Feb 6th, 2008 03:27:16 AM
You forgot to mention that Head in middle is Jennifer Ellison. If you do google image search on her you'll understand why this is a must-see.

"Hand Michael Bay his ass" by photoboy	Feb 6th, 2008 07:35:32 AM
A three year old playing with an old cine camera could make something with more intelligence than Bay.

I don't know about Memphis or Wales, but that's definitely a picture of the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY, as seen here: http://www.ledtronics.com/page s/applications/img/palace.jpg
Sauna may get to Horror Film Pantheon by Salmar80	Feb 6th, 2008 08:27:22 AM
How many classic horror movies have there been in all of history? Movies that manage to grab that something that really makes us fear for our lives. The Shining, Psycho, Dracula, Birds, Rosemary’s baby, Freaks, Alien, but few others.. It is a small bunch, considering the lengthy history of horror cinema. Cheap thrills are easy: Just create a pressure situation, add some dramatic music, and scare with a quick surprise. But it’s just so much harder to really touch people’s psychology. What we fear, really, is inside us. We fear what we could do ourselves, what we are capable of as human beings. This is what scares us. That’s why Schindler’s List feels so horrible. Sauna could make it in that ‘great’ category. Sins are something we all have committed, something we all fear internally, and the consequences of which we are all terrified with. Our sins keep haunting us all, no matter how small they are. A soul-purifying sauna is a great idea. If i could wash out my sins, cleanse my mistakes, i’d grab the opportunity in a heartbeat. And i haven’t done anything dramatic, my sins are very minor in comparison with many others’. It’s just a primal fear: Fear of your past haunting you. It’s a hard theme that hasn’t been addressed properly in movies yet. Should ‘Sauna’ manage to treat the subject properly, it would have a good chance of making the Pantheon of Great Horror Movies. I hope they’ll pull it off, because a premise like this should not be wasted.
One of the better columns in the past two years! by Pound Sand	Feb 6th, 2008 08:30:24 AM
I mean that too, in a non-ironic way. More of this kind of thing on AICN, and I might have to cut back on my ALL CAPS usage.
Isabella Rossellini by Mosquito March	Feb 6th, 2008 09:52:04 AM
I didn't think it was possible for me to love this woman more. Then along came GREEN PORNO. She can dress like a praying mantis, fuck me, and eat my head any time.
This guy is great by ArcadianDS	Feb 6th, 2008 10:14:36 AM
I read every word of this update despite not caring a single mote about its subject matter. thats a sign of a good writer.
isn't this item ripped from twitch? by max404	Feb 6th, 2008 10:19:19 AM
"We need more of these" errrm, yes. and you can get all you want at www.twitchfilm.net which always reports on cool little films from all over the world it really looks like this AICN-item has been copied from twitch: all movies are mentioned there almost exactly the same (only earlier) shame
Why watch this crap when Norbit 2 is coming out? by Baron Karza	Feb 6th, 2008 10:28:26 AM
Just kidding, thanks to this site I am neck deep into international cinema over the last 5 years.
Way to rip off Twitch... by Metrogenic	Feb 6th, 2008 11:23:42 AM
...and give them no credit. Weak sauce, AICN.
vexille by rajium32	Feb 6th, 2008 11:36:46 AM
I understand that you like this movie as it was very pretty and action packed (especially watching it in the theatre) but it's story fell short right at the end. And it borrowed too much from certian Sci-fi classics. But yeah I would recommend it as a fun well made animation.
Actually, max404 & Metrogenic... by Collin_Twitch	Feb 6th, 2008 12:32:25 PM
...this is a column prepared for AICN by Twitch's editor, Todd Brown. Trailers and other links all lead back to Twitch. Still, good looking out.
What he said ... by twitchfilm	Feb 6th, 2008 01:09:22 PM
Hey, this is Todd from Twitch. Like Collin said, this is a column written by me specifically for AICN. I do 'em every couple weeks, this is the fifth or sixth one, I think. There's usually an intro paragraph explaining that but not this time. So, no, nobody's ripping off anybody. And thanks for all the positive feedback, everybody! This is the best response one of these has had so far! I really appreciate it!
Mongol, Vexille and giant lions by Jonah Echo	Feb 6th, 2008 01:17:00 PM
First off: Xiphos, your comment about a giant lion and robots movie brought back memories of Ishiro Honda's Latitude Zero with Cesar Romero, which featured a godzilla sized lion, whom was later outfitted with giant wings and engaged in a battle with hi-tech submarines, I think. I saw it as a kid, and dont really remember. As for Vexille,it has a better set-up and concept than execution, but its a reasonably entertaining sci-fi anime and has some pretty cool A.I. in the second half which are reminiscent of the sand worms from Dune(while not really being biological at all.) Mongol is indeed a well done epic, and Asano manages to elevate it from the somewhat dry, typical epic biopic that it appears to be. In fact, Ive always wanted to see a Ghengis Khan movie and this delivered on all fronts. It is apparently planned as a trilogy, so I look forward to any future installments if they are done with the same craft and intelligence as this one.
Xiphos by Jonah Echo	Feb 6th, 2008 02:09:27 PM
I figured you were, and laughed reading it until I realized I had already seen that movie. Chances are good though, if there is a lamebrained idea out there, Honda or one of his ilk made it in Japan sometime during 1950-1980.Not that Im putting the man down at all. In addition to the obvious Gojira contributions, he gave us Matango: The Curse of the Mushroom People, possibly the wierdest drug metaphor ever. Though to be fair, Matango could have been referencing alot of things. If you are into asian wierdness and haven't seen it, check it out. It's far more sophisticated than the title suggests, but than again, would that take much?
Yea,these Twitch posts are great.. by Jonah Echo	Feb 6th, 2008 02:27:47 PM
and the actual website is awesome as well. Though truth be told, I never was aware of Twitch until Todd started running the collunmn here. Now, Im here looking forward to Dante 2.0, Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge and that strange korean Hansel and Gretel that was posted a while back.
I take it back. by Metrogenic	Feb 6th, 2008 04:09:57 PM
Classy of you Twitch guys not to push your own website too hard on this, then. Keep up the good work!
Green Porn......wow by liljuniorbrown	Feb 6th, 2008 04:25:07 PM
Do you think people ever walk up to folks like David Lynch,his wife, or captain Clowny Clown himself Crispin Glover and say "your fucking crazy.like really so far gone that you need to see someone about this shit before you totaly loose it" ? I'm just wondering. It's funny to think that someone has spent there time and money to dress up like an insect and have insect fuck scenes made on film, but do we really want to know what runs through there heads all day? Creepy man. Just creepy.
