Broken Embraces (2009)
Almodovar’s latest finally hit Tucson. I have been pretty knee-deep in Almodovar recently as I am working my way through his movies for a retrospective for Razorcake. His major distribution does not suit him as the movie has been out forever and I am just now getting to see it. But it was worth the wait.

Tucson Metromix: January 15, 2009
I had an opportunity to speak to local filmmaker Oscar Jiminez about his short film Esmeralda del Desierto for Tucson Metromix. Esmeralda premiered at The Loft on Jaunary 27th.

House of the Devil (2009)
I have been anxious for House of the Devil to make it to Tucson this week. Since I go to the movies often in the afternoons, I often am hangingn with the geriactric crowd. I wa surprised to see a few of them at this one. What do you think appealed to them about this. One of my faorite comments was: “that girl shouldn’t be walking around with a knife like that.” This is why a theater screening is so important. You won’t get that on a DVD. I really wish I could have had a focus group with those women and asked them what they thought should have happened in the movie. A woman goes to a strange house and babysits, and then goes home.

There are a couple of interesting movies playing at The Screening Room this weekend. I rented Blood Tea and Red String (2006) and thought it was a terrific fantasy tale with a Mulholland Drive atmosphere. You don’t see much stop-motion animation these days; this feature length film was masterful.

This week’s installment of Mondo Mondays is Deathstalker (1983), a relatively engaging Conan the Barbarian knock off.
When I was trying to write a review for it, I could not decide if it was meant to be taking place in the Middle Ages or the Dark Ages. The word Medieval seemed to cover the whole thing nicely. Dumb thing to obsess about. I discovered that Conan creator Robert Howard invented a “lost” time period called the “Hyborian Age” that predated the Middle Ages to combat historical discrepancies.
