With local folks being snow bound for a second day, and a third day not unlikely, I thought I would do everyone a favor by pointing them to some materials that would be entertaining, as well as useful!<\/p>\n
Movies about Cannibalism!<\/p>\n
Leading the pack is Ravenous<\/a>! After such a dark piece, cleanse your palate by watching Cannibal the Musical!<\/a> Written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, that credential alone tells you just about everything you need to know. This is a musical retelling of the story of Alfred Packer, a western mountain guide. Good stuff.<\/p>\n Back to the darker material, I feel obliged to mention Hannibal<\/a>. Anthony Hopkins reprises his role from Silence of the Lambs. Watch to the end, just to get a full view of the scene where our “hero” has an FBI agent for dinner, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Yum!<\/p>\n And let’s move to lighter fare again. Hunt in the foreign films section to find Caro and Jeunet’s Delicatessen<\/a>. A black comedy, set in an apartment building in a post-apocolypse world. If you’ve never seen a Caro\/Jeunet film before, I envy the delights still ahead of you. Dig in and then go back for seconds!<\/p>\n I keep trying to be done with this post, and then I keep thinking of more. By all means, watch The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover<\/a>. Peter Greenaway films are an acquired taste, but then, so is the main course of the film.<\/p>\n Bon appetit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nHow can I describe this movie without inviting open mockery? Is it a western set in a cavalry outpost? Well, yeah. That is, until it turns into a drama about cannibalism. Except then it takes another turn and gets really<\/b> weird! I would say more, but I would only be spoiling it for you. It’s dark, creepy, and has a great soundtrack. It stars Guy Pierce, who you might remember from Memento. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n
