FilmBender: sh*tfaced on movies

"Spun" and games 'til somebody gets hurt

 

Spun is a film with a fun cast but a painful subject -- crystal meth.  I have seen plenty of drugs in my day and can watch many a movie on drugs and addiction of most any sort (even shopping).  But this one kind of made me sick to my stomach.  The direction gets a little dizzying and the intentional acne and the in-you-face, decent people turned low-lives living dirty whatever/wherever becomes a bit much.  And the constant bumps... they literally never stop for days and days.  The whole thing just kind of bumbs me out.

It's an indie comedy featuring the vogue again Mickey Rourke, the always deadpan Jason Schwartzman (who's got some naked chick with a 10 body, Chloe Hunter I believe, tied to his bed with her mouth and eyes covered with duct tape for days), the totally hot Brittany Murphy, a yucky teeth version of Mena Suvari, a dike-y Deborah Harry, and a Red Hot Chili Pepper "socks on c*cks" John Leguizamo.  Tweak out and watch the movie trailer and read on because...

"Sin City" is my kinda neighborhood

Jessica Alba.  Wow.  If she were the only thing (I do realize I just objectified her to even another level) in this movie, I would still attempt to burn a hole in my cornea starring at it.  She is so hot that she must wear asbestos underpants.  The bloody, dark, frantic, and brutally ugly world that Sin City creates is instantly beautified and relaxed to a post-coital state of bliss when she's painted onto the screen.  But there is more to this movie than the siren...

There's the other sirens as well with cop killing and endless chase and gun-play set in a fantastic comic-book (er... graphic-novel) setting staged by Frank Miller that's co-directed by Robert Rodriguez -- infamous for the gritty cult hit, El Mariachi, supposedly made for $7k on his padre's American Express card.  But this movie is as slick as it gets with a budget that must be north of $70mil.

Countless scenes will blow you away with an incredible cast including Rutger Hauer, Bruce Willis, Brittany Murphy, Benicio Del Toro, and amazing characters created by Elijah Wood and Mickey Rourke.  Those two alone are almost as watchable as Alba in this film.  Well... not quite.

FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews, but this clip isn't funny at all... d*mn... just drooled on my keyboard.
