Now that's what I call a serious clusterfuck.

Look! She takes rehab as seriously as she does marriage!

In the meantime, look who they turned loose.

Dudes just can't get along with anybody, can they?

Searchin' for a weasel.

Progress on solving a bizarre crime?

A big mouth will get you in big trouble, son.

Now that's funny.

I watched the latest offering from David Cronenberg, the 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. This is one of his better ones, and very much in keeping with his trend of recent years toward less constantly visceral films versus more psychological ones. I've seen over a dozen of his films -- my favorites are VIDEODROME, DEAD RINGERS, CRASH, SPIDER, and probably this one -- but all of them have been good (or at least interesting). His early stuff used to be obsessed with body horror and gross depictions of the human body subjected to disease and/or violence, whereas his more recent stuff is less about the gore and more about the psychodrama between the characters. (Although there is a fair amount of disturbingly realistic violence and gore in this film, when the violence happens.)

I still think DEAD RINGERS is one of the creepiest films ever made, right on up there with HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER and CLEAN, SHAVEN. The whole business about "mutant tools"... maaaaaaaan....

Anyway, now I'm gonna go watch SAW 2. And while I'm on the subject, the scene at the beginning of SCARY MOVIE 4 (a parody of the opening of the original film, featuring Dr. Phil and Shaq) is possibly the funniest thing I ever seen that wasn't the greatest moment in one of those Cheech and Chong movies.
