WaterNot the Deepa Mehta film from India, but rather the Michael Caine vehicle from England. ImdbWell, shit, I found my review I wrote over 15 years ago: "Water is one of those movies I'm grateful my Dad took me to see. Since it lasted, I believe, less than two weeks in theaters, I wasn't going to get another chance for a long time. Water does a wonderful job of skewering the Big Powers; the U.S.; Britain; Russia; and France. The colonial nature of these empires forms the basis for a hysterical skirmish over water rights on a barely survivable Caribbean island. The film's executive producer was none other than George Harrison. Not surprisingly, the music from the film is fantastic, although no soundtrack album is available that I am aware of. The luminaries drawn to the movie's witty script included musicians Ringo Starr, John Lord, Eric Clapton and others, and the cast includes Michael Caine, J.J. Walker, and Billy Connelly (the latter two in their best roles, I believe). Unfortunately, most of the humour requires knowledge of international and colonial politics, without which the film is (pardon the pun) dry." I shouldn't have pardoned the pun, it was great!

SchizopolisIMDBMy review is to tell the following story from an era when people "rented movies" on "VHS:" The year was 1996 (or possibly 1997.) My dear friend Fred (totally his real name) rented a weird movie called "Schizolopis" on a lark. And it was a lark, because he'd never heard of Steven Soderburgh. At the time, very few people had. So he brought it home and the three of us, Fred, James (totally his real name) and Jeremiah The Twelfth Level Geek (totally my real name) started watching it. None of the three of us understood what was happening in the movie. It was confusing, metaphorical, and as deliberately obscure as an Adam Goldberg art film. But (unlike an Adam Goldberg film) it was also hilarious and entertaining. About half-way through the movie, the third roommate Arthur (totally his real name) came home with three guests. Fred James and I immediately insisted that they watch the movie, but knew they couldn't start watching halfway through. So all three of us agreed to rewind the movie to the beginning so everyone could watch it. Even though we just watched it. It was that good. Then, about halfway through the second viewing, roommate #4 Nathan (totally his real name) came home with four guests. All seven people currently watching the movie insisted that the new five people had to watch it as well, and so we rewound it to the beginning (I swear this is 100% true except for my name) and 4 people watched for the second time in an hour, while three people watched it for the third time in 2 hours. If that doesn't convince you to watch it, I have nothing left!

ClockwiseIMDBThis one isn't as good as my previous two recommendations, but is still fun (and largely unknown.) In many ways, it's the quintessential "small low-budget British comedy." There are several of those, but this is the one from my youth, so it's the one I'm recommending. I haven't seen it in over twenty years, so it's harder to know how well it stands up. But, I remember it being very charming, truly funny, and a perfect role for John Cleese.

I remember that movie fondly... albeit in a bit of a grody way (which makes sense to those who have seen it.) I have been a fan of Helena Bonham Carter since several movies from in and around the era of this one, including Queen Jane. And it may be a controversial opinion, but I preferred her when she didn't have a giant head and wasn't directed by Tim Burton. And I love Tim Burton. But not when he directs Helena Bonham Carter. Or makes movies about Alice in Wonderland.

I should have given a few reason or info on the things i listed.
Margarets museum is about a coal mining town in nova scotia and some of the tragedies of the industry. Helena Bonham Carter is tremendous and it has a bizarre and twisted twist at the end.
The Rapture: As the title indicates it is about the end of the world. Mimi Rogers is terrific in it. Kind of scary, super natural , weird.
The Idiot: A book by Fydor Dostoevsky, not as well known as some of his famous novels (Crime and punishment and the brothers karamazov) but it has a very uniqiue character as the protagonist.
Billable Hours: Canadian Comedy about a law office, I thought it was funny.
Puppets Who Kill: Another canadian comedy, at times pretty funny and pretty twisted.
