The Forgotten: I Heart Huckabees

It’s the year 2004. Oceans Twelve has proven to be disappointing, a slew of questionable Christmas films have flooded the megaplexes and Jude Law is in EVERYTHING. There’s one film however, that may have the greatest title ever invented, stars half of Hollywood (yet not a single actor is typecast or degraded) and it’s one of the smartest comedies to ever be released.

But unlike most films in The Forgotten series, it was seen by a decent amount of people. However, it was simply written off as just another weird indie comedy….that just so happens to star Jude Law

This week it’s David O Russell’s I Heart Huckabees.

Blood, mayhem, tension, fear, addiction and chain saws encompass the new remake of Evil Dead.

Marlon Wayans and Essence Atkins are the victims of a demon infestation that likes moving pots and pans and ruining their sex life. Is this the intimate study of a couple and the complexities of their failing sexual relationship, with the ghost serving as a metaphor for their once existing affection, written and directed by Woody Allen? God no! A Haunted House is a surprisingly funny parody on the never-ending Paranormal Activity franchise. Review after the jump.

May 042013

It’s 2006, a very small indie dramedy about suicide is released. It stars the kid from Almost Famous, now looking much older, and features Tom Waits and Will Arnett playing a god like character. The premise is an original one and the film itself, with very little surprise is one of the sweetest films this generation has got. It’s 2013 and still, almost no one has seen it. Check it out why you should see it after the jump.
