MATADOR (ALMODOVAR, 1986) - i've been sorting out a retrospective of avaolable almodovar rentals (kika seems out of print-- maybe quietly censored?) and this is as fun as the first time i saw it only now funnier in retrospective (i took it somewhat more seriously the first time). banderas hilariously typecast as a crazy over & over & over. assumpta serna fantastic here-- a pity she didn't become a regular. good writing and some really great shots. im reminded of this quote by almodovar himself: being a filmmaker in spain is like being a bullfighter in china.

BOYHOOD (Linklater, 2014). I really liked this thing. Very well done, and very quiet-- almost like nothing happens, but of course it does. It's kinda like those 7-up documentaries but a lot more fun/ less "scientific." I love the ellipses in the narrative. It just works. Great job really. Not a movie to watch for thrills.

IRON SKY (someone, 2012). either just a terrible movie or a self-conscious farce, i can't make up my mind. all-around stupid, but i think they know it, and that makes it watchable, like a saturday morning cartoon with a couple of hot women in it. beer helps of course. 0/5, but not without merit. how can i explain?
