Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
These days David Cronenberg is a critical darling so it's amusing to read contemporary reviews, e.g. Roger Ebert:
Taken at face value, he's quite right: it doesn't work particularly well as horror (the murderous child-things seem more ridiculous than menacing for much of the film) and it seems awfully pretentious for the schlock on display.
It gets more interesting if you take Cronenberg at his word that it's his Kramer vs Kramer -- a divorce movie with emotional pain come horrifically to life. For all that I can appreciate this interpretation, I'm not fully convinced and I'm quite certain it's not worth the slog.
