  The Black Cat 1989

  ★★★★★ Watched by Scumbalina 31 Oct 2018 5

  You should always trust the dreams you have during a psychic bubble witch movie set apocalypse. These colors don't run, except they do. Green scuzzfuck witch slime from mouth to mouth, open wide and eat my witch puke. Levana's murder set pieces in rainbow black darklight. Let me tell you about baby. Baby is perfectly sedate. baby knows it's fate. My baby is a witch boy. Actress, Model, Dancer - these are the desired occupations of a sleeping witch, of a third mother. And with more glowy maternal confusion, a trilogy is closed. Fuck the Mother of Tears. Cozzi got it a right.

  Messiah of Evil 1973

  ★★★★½ Watched by Scumbalina 28 Feb 2018 3

  Velvet Vampire goes Pop Shopping. Too drunk on red vodka cocktails to know it's a zombie movie. What's a zombie movie? figures in the landscape, where the beach is one endless oil painting and Dad's paint cool murals all over the beach house walls. This movie is made out of cinnabar and jade women who shop at supermarkets during the Anti-Christ apocalypse. Dawn of the Dead walking along the beach at night, holding hands with Jean Rollin.

  I'd rather be watching M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village".

  Flux Gourmet 2022

  ★★½ Watched by Scumbalina 26 Jun 2022

  While poking fun at the artworld it also gleefully alienates with it's vagueness and superficiality. Quirked out kitschy, almost impenetrable to me in it's made up fart logic. Occasionally niche indulgences lift long enough for someone to do or say something funny, or we're treated to a number of interesting food noise performances, but the structure of the film, the narrative style and the characters aren't very compelling unless you have a vested interest in this director, which I guess I don't.

  I Know What You Did Last Summer 1997

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Scumbalina 03 Mar 2018 9

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I've seen this movie many times but not until this most recent viewing did I realize that Sarah Michelle Gellar is a beam of light, like a sunflower, an angel, a Precious Moment. A perfume counter girl with high-waisted denim shorts and cigarette affixed silver fingernails. Her chase scene is poetry in motion. The death of a beauty queen, tragic like an Opera. She runs and she runs. She breaks glass, she crawls out of a car window belly down,…

  Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown 1988

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Scumbalina 09 May 2017 8

  This was my introduction to Almodovar and is my forever favorite.

  When I first saw this film I would soon be entering the last echelon of my marriage. I didn't know it at the time but soon he would cheat, and I would catch him. I would have what I later realized was a nervous breakdown, and I would quit my job, digging us even deeper into poverty. I would lose forty pounds because I couldn't afford drugs or alcohol…
