Movies Are Teh Awesome!

I'm not calling this feature the same thing every week because I'm lazy and might decide to miss a week or two. Unlike the ever popular Music Monday the Sunday movie show (actually, I like that name) is not just devoted to new or unknown gems and as if just to prove that point this week's film is 20 years old.

David Lynch's Wild At Heart is a twisted take on the Wizard of Oz starring Nicholas Cage and that bird off Jurassic Park (Laura Dern) with a strong supporting cast including Willem Defoe and Crispin Glover (Marty McFly's Dad in BTTF). As you would expect from Lynch it's a roller-coaster of weird going's on and uncomfortable characters that spins throughout this crazy love story, road movie that pays endless homage to Elvis Presley and Wizard of Oz while carving itself into your memory in the way great movies do.

If that doesn't appeal, and to be honest on paper it sounds like an awful movie, then rest assured your life will be enriched upon viewing. If you've never found love for David Lynch's works then this is a perfect place to start. Wild At Heart is easily more accessible than Mullholland Drive and definitely less creepy than Twin Peaks or Blue Velvet.
Cheers,
