Do you feel that nagging sensation deep in the back of your brain? That’s a desire you didn’t even know you had to watch Jackie Chan fornicate. It’s okay, we’ve all been there. Lucky for you Chan satisfies that urge here with a white hooker grinding away at him cowgirl style. (Although I’m pretty sure Chan had even less fun filming the scene than you’ll have watching it…) Oh, and the movie’s about illegal immigration and gang warfare in Tokyo.

If Terry Gilliam woke up one day in Eastern Europe, horny, hungry, and obsessed with death… only to find the half-consumed bodies of David Cronenberg and Jean-Pierre Jeunet sprawled across his floor, morsels of both men’s brains still stuck in his teeth… Taxidermia is the ninety-minute exploration of life, beauty, immortality, and bodily fluids he might rush to film before being arrested by the authorities. What does that mean exactly? I have no fucking clue.

Much like they did with the Western last year (the epic and excellent The Good The Bad The Weird), South Korea has ventured into other traditionally American genres with great success. This includes copying the teen sex formula highlighting America’s love of fornicating teenagers, physical comedy, and baby batter.

Who doesn’t enjoy watching cinematic mayhem perpetrated by and against bratty, misbehaving children? It may not be as highly ranked on your list of guilty pleasures as it is on mine (above movies based on SNL sketches and below the oeuvre of Kevin Costner), but you’ll agree it’s a sweetly cathartic release watching disrespectful little bastards get put down. No? Just me?

This week’s Foreign Objects takes a look at one of the best revenge films ever made, one of the few films guaranteed to be on any list ranking revenge movies… heck, I can’t even imagine someone putting together a Best Revenge Film list without this one ranking fairly high. Yeah. That’d be crazy.

I was known as one of The Tardy Boys in school due to my penchant for wandering the halls solving mysteries in lieu of getting to class on-time. I was late to class a lot. That’s relevant because this week’s movie is called The Class. And it’s also running a day late.

When someone dies a horrible death, their spirit becomes confused and angry. It becomes…Vinyan. Perhaps coincidentally, the same thing happens to viewers of this film…

The British are coming! The British are coming! Into a hacked-off chunk of human flesh… in this not-so delightful British romp about immigrant workers, insanity, airplanes, rape, cannibalism, murder, torture, and other family values.

Last week Foreign Objects covered a serious and sobering film about torture and the limits of the human spirit. This week we review a movie featuring penis push-ups. [Warning: Mildly NSFW]

Hunger is a grotesquely beautiful film that captures both a finite time in history and the enduring will of the human spirit. It features mesmerizing performances, powerful visuals, and a sensory experience unlike any other film this year. What it does not do is present a neutral and unbiased viewpoint.
