The Invisible Raptor (2023)


Some titles tell you exactly what you're going to get. How do you make a dinosaur movie without the budget of Spielberg? Say it's invisible and let the power of suggestion do the rest. This is such a fucking stupid movie, yet I was riveted throughout, which probably says a lot about my mental state. It's always nice when the filmmakers and the audience are on the same page.

Archie's Final Project (2009)

AKA: My Suicide

For his high school class project, Archie decides to kill himself on camera, sparking debate and controversy among campus, parents and all so-called professionals involved. The film itself is treated as found footage, and it's full of jumbled thoughts, distorted feelings and raw emotion, as well as the regurgitated movies and media images that make up the conglomerate of a feverish teenage mind. It's the kind of movie I could have made. I can see people discarding it as emo bullshit, but to me it rings of authentic truth.
This also appears to be one of David Carradine's final projects.
