I'm just a simple man who likes to unwind with bootlegged eurotrash and box wine.

The Instructor 1983
Did that fat balding 40 year old suburban ninja just call a 10 year old boy a slut and then attack him??
Man, this is why I watch VSA’s. Everything and more you’d want out of a low budget regional vanity film about a mall dojo instructor. Fight club in a train yard featuring medieval weapons and trash can lids, corvette chases into dirt bike stunts through waterfalls, and bad wigs.Translated from by -
A Chinese Torture Chamber Story 1994
With a title like A Chinese Torture Chamber story I was not expecting a screwball sex comedy dialed all the way up. May I someday also go out like a real man….when a giant donkey dick explodes.

The Northman 2022
American Cinematheque screening with Eggars Q&A.
Movie is a masterpiece of sound design and sound mixing. Just for that alone you should seek this out in a nice theater.
Feels like the older much more matured extension of the Witch. A perfect melding of mysticism and machismo.
Happy to see a film like this get such a huge budget, but I worry it will be seen as too much of risk in the future. Here’s to more big budget auteur original IP’s.

Beau Is Afraid 2023
Tikashi Miike’s Curb your Enthusiasm.
Perfect first act that slowly starts to unravel as it goes. Deeply personal film that’s unashamedly goofy and anxiety inducing. Definitely did not need 3 hours though.
I have no idea how this got funded but happy this oddball film got made.
