Puppetry of the Penis

This bizarre but compelling cult theatrical hit features two naked Australian men -- David Friend and Simon Morley -- who have the amazing ability to play tricks using nothing but their genitalia, in tandem with hilarious commentary. Filmed at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne, this performance shows some of the duo's best work. Please note: Due to the nature of the performance, this disc includes full-frontal nudity.

My Promulgation: Two guys on stage doing bizarre thing with their dongs. I couldn't imagine an on stage practice session where you actually atempt to stretch your nut sack in any way, shape or form. Before getting into the hot tub. I tried two of these stunts after viewing this movie. It was a painful and humbling experience. Those fucking Aussies…..They are so weird, and I guess, based upon this footage, they have very flexible scrotums.

Scrotum = Nutsack.....

1. important piece of male genitals that holds and protects the inner testes
2. a stupid fucker who does or says dumb shit and will not stop

1. Mother, once you are through with dinner, will you please wash my nutsack?
2. Mother, that kid Timmy is a frickin' nutsack.

Dead Man

Only Jim Jarmusch could direct a Western like this: A poetry-loving American Indian mistakes accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) for the English writer of the same name, while bounty hunters take Depp for a murderer. Jarmusch packs the film with an unlikely collection of castmates, including Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt, and Robert Mitchum in one of his last roles.

My Promulgation: John Depp is a great "freaky" actor. In this movie he doesn't disappoint. Too bad this was Robert Mitchum's last movie. The Iggy Pop char (and him) were not worth a chihuahua shit so it only got 3 stars.

Sin City

Murder, corruption and cover-ups are all part of Sin City's daily routine in this dark film that weaves three tales from Frank Miller's graphic novels. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a psychotic outcast who seeks vengeance for Goldie's (Jaime King) murder; Dwight (Clive Owen) kills a cop and must cover it up; and nearly retired cop Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson costar.

My Promulgation: This is a great example of if you throw 20+ great actors into a so so movie and plot, guess what? The resulting combination is fucking so so. What insight and amazing powers of reflection I have. Jesus H. I think this is a solid two stars @ best, Maybe if I spend more time reading esoteric literature and less time doing whatever, I could have more pithy insight for this flick. I don't and I don't.....Jessica Alba was kinda hot, but pretty much obscured by a weird little film.

The Sweetest Sound

In this humorous and touching documentary, award-winning independent filmmaker Alan Berliner tracks the lives of several other men who share his name -- including a celebrity photographer, an Ohio lawyer and a Seattle social worker -- and deftly explores the relationship between one's moniker and the way it shapes identity. Berliner also touches upon the history of names, stopping at Ellis Island for some fascinating information.

My Promulgation: Mildly entertaining…..Nothing more than that.

Amores Perros

Director Alejandro González Iñarritu's internationally acclaimed debut film recounts three tales that unfold and intertwine on the brutal streets of Mexico City. Streetwise loser Octavio (Gael García Bernal) has an obsessive crush on his sister-in-law; Daniel (Álvaro Guerrero) dumps his family for a disturbed supermodel; and ex-guerilla El Chivo (Emilio Echevarría) cares for a wounded dog while planning an assassination

My Promulgation: I liked this movie. It was interesting and the story line appeared somewhat unique to me. I think it was subtitled so be sure you can read fast.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Eddie (Nick Moran) is usually slick with a deck of cards, but after losing at a fixed table for London high rollers, he's in massive debt to a local porn kingpin (P.H. Moriarty). Eddie's irate father (Sting) refuses to hand over his bar to save his son's fingers, leaving Eddie and his friends few options. To come out ahead, they craft a heist to steal the money from the criminals next door -- with overblown results.

My Promulgation: Totally like Snatch and this and that and whatever the fuck I can't remember those other similar movies. Worth a watch, but sure as hell won't change your life or alter your views on anything.

Primer

An engineer builds a machine (quite by accident) that can transport the user back in time. But his discovery comes with an ominous caveat, because at the heart of this puzzling device, nothing is as it seems on the surface. The narrative inventively blends a patchwork story line with overlapping streams of dialogue that help build tension and suspense in this Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner. David Sullivan and Shane Carruth star.

My Promulgation: This was a "hmmm... how did that work exactly" kinda movie. I enjoyed it.
