| Rampo Noir (Rampo jigoku) - Unrated |
I didn't get it at first. Then I thought I knew where this was going because I had already read some Edogawa Rampo. My ass. This, as Rampo, isn't just for your brain, it's for your senses. The first piece is brief, silent, stunning, nearly Tarkovskian. "Mirror Hell" is cold, distant and should be watched that way. It will bring up some of the many elements and superimposed moods that are to be constantly resignified throughout the film. "Catterpillar" is barely survivable, even for those who know what it's about. And the last piece... It is simply superb. The kind of thing Almodóvar would be doing if he were a Japanese horror filmmaker. I think it'll take me a while to get over this one. |

| The White Ribbon (Das weisse Band) - R | Mind-blowing, and worthy of its Palme d'Or. Haneke's best work so far. | December 20, 2009 | N/A | |||

| ¿Quién puede matar a un niño? (Who Can Kill a Child?)(Death is Child's Play)(Island of the Damned) - R |
Amazing Spanish horror with some creepy insights on human nature and an astoundingly dumb protagonist. Oh, now I know where Fernando Meirelles got that shot from. :P |

| (500) Days of Summer - PG-13 | This totally awkward love tale kept me laughing my ass off throughout. | November 24, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Bakjwi (Thirst) - R | It's a good period for exotic, refreshing vampire stories, and this one teams up well with "Let the Right One in". Sublime, weird, funny, erotic and grotesque, the only thing on the way of this film are the high expectations created around it. Approach it with an open heart and you will not be disappointed. | November 17, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Undertow - R | A bit too full of mannerisms and some lazy editing towards the end, but the story stays strong and the performances are great. The "Night of the Hunter" mood does the rest. | November 15, 2009 | N/A | |||
