Film #58 of The December Project
As a huge fan of dark comedies, weird love stories, Sam Rockwell, and Fight Club (this film is based on a book by the same author), this was pretty much a favorite waiting to happen for me. It would've taken much more effort NOT to like this film than to like it. I haven't read the book so I have no idea how well it captures the spirit/tone of the novel, but I found the film version hilarious, thought-provoking, and profound.Here you've got a man named Victor (Sam Rockwell) trying to beat his sex addiction by going to meetings regularly with his best friend Denny. They both work at one of those historical…

There may be portions of "Choke" that are based on real life events, but you have to believe that on the whole the series of events depicted here are too strange to be confined to the life of just one man. This gloriously depraved movie is a jumbled mix of emotions and insane plot threads that make it one of the most unusual viewing experiences of the year, and just when you think you have it all figured out, it shifts gears yet again.
Normally, the wild mood swings would bother me, but actor-turned-director Clark Gregg makes it work, and the end result is all the more astonishing when you realize that this is his first feature film. At the…
