: Hurlyburly

Bizarre, talky movie. Well done, but the dialog’s obviously from a play — it’s much to dense for a film. You’d have to see this one several times to keep up with it. I found the characters difficult to comprehend. On the one hand they’re pretty dumb (their lives are crap), but then they turn around and spout profound philosophy. Bizarre but interesting. DVD commentary from the play’s author, David Rabe, helps a lot.

: Ravenous

Neat little horror flick. It’s about people who learn to eat humans and find they can’t stop. It’s got a rather serious, ominous tone, then goes campy. A bit of a mix, but fun. Sets and period costumes and performances are great.
