Bama Art House Winter Film Series 2012

Hot on the heels of my previous review, here are some quick, down-and-dirty reviews of the movies that the Bama’s been showing. Keep coming back for the full series as it happens.

Depressed bride is depressed.Melancholia: Missed most of it, I was selling tickets to the movie (Well That’s Cooligans support our community). It seemed super depressing. Plus, who wants to have sex in a sand trap? Sounds… gritty.

 

 

 

 

 

Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene: A wonderful meditation on why postmodernism is ass-backwards and modernism is alienating.

*Bonus* The response from the Bama’s manager upon hearing that line: “Bill, you’re full of shit.”

 

 

 

 

Medusa, the badass carBellflower: Bad in a good way and good in a bad way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flea, you silly gooseThe Other F Word: Punk rockers explain some of the best reasons to have a crumb-snatcher. It’s pretty heartfelt. Not a lot of reality show bull here. Just punk rockers as dads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stokly Carmichael in Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975Black Power Mix Tape 1967-1975: This film is impossible to sum up in one sentence. It was informative and showed many people from the Civil Rights Movement as persons and not just names in a text book. See this film.

 

 

 

 

 

Carnage: Hilarious, but where was Venom? (Spider-man joke!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Dangerous Method: Man, seriously. Keira was spanked… All naughty like… I mean… dang…
