    Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth

    ★★★½

    I’m launching a virtual screening series called Prayer Conditioning TV, and the inaugural screening is called CARBON GHOSTFACE: A Post-Scream Shriekfest! It’s a 12-hour, 7-film marathon of films indebted to Wes Craven’s classic Scream (1996).

    The screening will take place on JULY 9TH, and the lineup is as follows:

    12:05pm THE CLOWN AT MIDNIGHT (1998)
    (dir. Jean Pellerin)

    1:40pm DEAD MAN’S CURVE  (1998)
    (dir. Dan Rosen)

    3:15pm SSSSHHH… (2003)
    (dir. Pavan Kaul)

    6:00pm GOSSIP (2000)
    (dir. Davis Guggenheim)

    7:35pm CUT (2000)…

    For The Film Magazine, I wrote in praise of this film and its 'Bizarro Cut' for its 10th anniversary. I think David Wain is one of the best American comedy directors of the 21st century, and how this film's two iterations work in unison represents exactly why I feel that way.

    Check it out here!

    and David Wain says you should too!!

    drugged out, washed up, surreal noirification of a pathetic, repugnant version of three criminals' real lives who match each of the above adjectives. Cage channeling Bogart is the key here, and its genius hit me in the final scene: an exhausted, out of touch criminal yearns for the days of clean, glorified crime and miserably miscalculates each and every encounter. so much fun, so completely wacked out; Cage and Dafoe own this.
