Watched - Take Shelter 2/10
Coma inducing borefest about a family man having disaster visions and slowly loosing his mind while his life falls apart. Amazing slow paced that leads up to a 5 second finale that I saw coming, but was actually cool, but then the credits role. Art students would probably find this profound and brilliant.

This movie looks pretty good, I love Michael Shannon as an actor, and it's got nearly 8/10 on IMDb. Netflix recommends it to me based upon The Machinist and My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done, both films I like. The fact that you don't like it intrigues me more, haha.

I watched all kinds of stuff yesterday.
Pink Flamingos (classic gross-out freak-out fest from the father of bad taste, John Waters. Had never seen it all, and boy was I missing out on some very explicit scenes! There's no way this thing wasn't rated "X")
Loren Cass (barely any dialogue, about the aftermath of the race riots in St. Petersburg, FL; someone described it as "skinhead mumblecore," lol)
Break A Leg (forgettable indie flick about a struggling actor who's finally had enough, and kills other actors that are up for the same role he is, but focuses mostly on his struggling and frustration)
Cowboys & Aliens (brainless genre mash-up romp, pretty fun for a watch, and Sam Rockwell is in it so that's a bonus)

Technically, it's a good movie. And I like subtle movies. But this is one of the slowest films I have ever seen. Ever have a conversation with someone where it takes then about 10 mins for them to get to the damn point? That is what this film feels like. There are actions in this movie that take about 5 minutes of screen time for a character to decide to do something where in any other movie the action would be done in 30 seconds. It was painful. But the kind of film film theory classes would probably gush over. And like I said, you can see the finale coming way before they finally get around to it.
The Machinist was a much better movie.

Just started watching Star Wars Clone Wars season 3. Good stuff!

[Victor Clark]

Just watched the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead. Pretty damn good.

Devil's Playground. I enjoyed it. I liked the character personalities they put together. I liked the ones meant to be liked and liked to hate the ones meant to be hated. Good explanation for the strength and toughness of the infected.

Why wife loves this movie and just bought it from Amazon.

Watched.................
Unholy Woman 8/10
Japanese anthology with 3 stories. The first and last are a wacky and then a serious ghost story. But the middle story called Metal is one of the most fucked up shorts I have seen in a while! It is bizarre and gets really funny because it is so fucked up.

I'll have to check it out for myself; I'm about half-and-half on slow movies, sometimes they work, sometimes you just want them to hurry up. But it seems what some people might consider "slow" I don't see it as such.

Watched and bought No Dinosaurs in Heaven at Reasonfest 2012, a documentary about teaching "intelligent design" in schools and the ludicrousness of "teaching the controversy," focusing on one particular teacher and a Grand Canyon expedition of scientists and teachers.

Also bought another documentary there about the state of Kansas vs. Evolution.

I kinda wanna check that out. I'm just skeptical since it seems to be geared towards young adults (see: Twilight, Hunger Games).

Premonition. Another quality film from Japan.

To be fair, it would've been better with a straight R rating (especially during the violent parts; just imagine what telekinesis could really do!), but it was still a really entertaining and intense film. This review from Matthew Buck (aka Film Brain) explains it fairly well:
