Koyaanisqatsi
Grade: A- 10/18/2008
It is from the Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance", this film is like a abstract dream and nightmar eat the same time. With the slow-motion, fast-motion, and otherworldly imagry, coupled with the haunting score by Philip Glass, KOYAANISQATSI is one of the most beautiful films I have seen. It doesn't have a plot or even any kind of narrative structure, but watching it is like being hypnotized, and Glass's score seems to mock your own brainwaves and heartbeat. It has a strange beauty that is impossible to ignore.

Videodrome
Grade: C 11/11/2011
A David Cronenberg film but a David Lynch film in spirit. Pretty gruesome and shocking, but ultimately nonsensical. I get the allegory of the nature of reality in regards to television, but it is just presented so strangely complete with people with vaginas in their chests.
