1950. USA. Dir: Nicholas Ray. With Humphrey Bogart. 94 min.

Life is hard for brilliant, bitter screenwriter Bogart in this film noir romance: his career’s stalled, he’s drinking too much, and the police suspect him of murder.

2012. USA. Dir: Drew Goddard. With Chris Hemsworth. 95 min.

Humor and horror make strange bedfellows; the latter is often mere setting for the former, the former often a coward’s refuge from the latter. For a flick that’ll scare you and make you laugh (and laugh a bit at you too), dig how this Whedon-penned romp asserts and hysterically upsets your trashy slasher expectations.

1955. USA. Dir: Frank Tashlin. With Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis. 109 min.

The big bad blizzard nixed our last go at this, so let’s recap: In arguably their best film as a duo, Dino (sexy but slyly funny) and Jerry (funny but oddly sexy) stumble into cartoonish hijinks involving secret rocket fuel, a superhero named “Vincent the Vulure” and two brassy career gals in their apartment building.

2012. USA. Dir: Kathryn Bigelow. With Jessica Chastain. 157 min.

While Academy voters preferred Argo‘s catchphrase-laden triumphs, Bigelow’s controversial follow-up to The Hurt Locker confronts us with important, if uncomfortable, reflections. The War on Terror evolves into a slow burn of obsession and frustration, cruelty and compromise, futility and tragedy, culminating in one final breathless action set piece.

Hollywood it ain’t: three avant-garde visionaries muse on murder, melancholy, and malaise.

1986. USA. Dir: David Cronenberg. With Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis. 96 min.

A teleportation experiment goes horribly wrong when a handsome scientist accidentally fuses his DNA with that of a house fly. Cronenberg riffs on “Beauty and the Beast” via his own signature brand of gruesome horror and top-notch makeup effects. What results is a deeply moving drama with profound reflections on the frailty of human life and acidic mucous vomit.

1970. Mexico. Dir: Alejandro Jodorowsky. With Alejandro and Brontis Jodorowsky. 125 min.

A father and child confront four mystical gun-masters in a strange fairytale that’s something like a spaghetti western – if the spagetti was replaced by healthy portions of Zen Buddhism, surrealism, everything, and nothing.
