Black Shampoo (1976)
Funny...
Well I'm not saying it's one of my favorite movies but it's entertaining in a "that could never happen" kind of way. I think really bad acting can be funny, as is the case in this movie..also bad editing and cheesy "soft core"...material is humorous to me. I got a good laugh out of it! For instance, there's a scene in the beginning where Mr. Jonathat does a 'house call' and he gets 'attacked' by two white chicks, and the camera pans to some floating object in the pool! There was no reason for it, and I can't even tell what the object is to be honest! That type of really bad film production is entertaining somehow.
Tarnation (2003)
Wow!
My friends and I were speechless leaving the theatre! This is a remarkable piece of work. Jonathan seems to use ALL of the bells and whistles that come with iMovie, which normally would seem overdone, but really just reminded me of the child inside that was damaged by his environment - the child that needed attention while he was growing up, the child that really needed to find his place. I also thought about how 'busy' the movie appeared, which again just seemed to depict how erratic his mind can be from time to time. I highly recommend this experience to anyone that has struggled with dysfunction in the family unit, or, quite possibly more importantly those that have NOT struggled with dysfunction. There's a whole other world out there.
