Sexy Trains and Spooky Houses
Aug. 4th, 2005 02:44 pmTwo of my more satisfying Netflix rentals were 2046 and Session 9.
2046 is about a womanizing writer in Hong Kong. He writes stories about a train that leaves for the year 2046, where people go to try to recapture their lost memories. The authors real life experiences work their way into his fiction, and the movies follows several of his future and past interests and how they impact his life and writing. The movie is well shot, and the incredibly beautiful Ziyi Zhang is in the film. She's not jumping around or dueling with swords, but... well, I imagine a lot of you will enjoy this film. It's sumptuous.
Session 9 is quite the creepy horror film, and it's set in the old mental hospital in Danvers (for all you New England folks) A hazmant crew takes on the job of cleaning up the old mental hospital. The crew is rife with tension and inner demons, ones that come out to play the longer they work in the hospital. The atmosphere is amazing, and highly tense. The ending is either a nice bit of twist, or high predictable, depending on who you ask. Either way, the ride itself is enjoyable and the movie is creepy in a way that most horror films today aren't. Check it out.
