Five Senses Blogathon

-
Nostra of My Film Views, in conjunction with Karmel Cinema and MovieInsiders came up with another wonderful idea for a blogathon. He asks us to name five films that remind us of the five senses. Here are the rules:

 The idea
As you know the body has five senses (although some movies might suggest there is a sixth one): Sight, Sound, Taste, Smell and Touch.
So what’s the idea behind this blogathon? For each of these senses you will have to describe the movie related association you have with it. This can be a particular movie or even a scene, but also something having to do with the movie going experience (so for example the smell of popcorn in the theater).

 What do you have to do?
– Write your entry to The Five Senses blogathon, where you describe the association you have for each of the senses
– Include the above blogathon logo in your post
– Add a link to this blogathon announcement so others can participate as well

– Leave a link to your entry in the comments so people can easily find your entry

 Here are my five films:
Sight - Enter the Void
This movie is an attack on the eyes. The opening credits alone should come with a seizure warning. Everything about this film is trippy and neon, and it's really just a wonder to watch. 

Sound - Interstellar
I complained about Instellar's sound in my review of it. The score was so loud at times I couldn't even hear what the actors were saying. I suppose it was fitting for the film, but this one immediately came to mind for sound.

Taste - Waitress
All of the pies in this movie look delicious. I can just taste them while watching this film. The funny thing is, I don't even like pie. 

Touch - The Descent
This might seem like a weird one for "touch" but that's what I kept doing while watching it - stretching my arms out and touching the side of my couch and the person next to me. I'm not claustrophobic at all, but this film made me feel that way. 

Smell - Se7en
The gluttony scene ruined spaghetti sauce for me. I have not touched the stuff since watching this film. Every time I see it, I smell spaghetti sauce and it makes me want to vomit. I am now one of those losers who spent her childhood only eating butter on noodles.

    Great picks! I'm not a fan of pie either, but the pies in Waitress look delicious!

      I think I even attempted to eat a slice of pie after that movie came out. Still don't like it. lol

    Love your picks! I haven't seen Waitress but those pies look delicious...
    I only watched Interstellar for the first time over the weekend and the music was just mind blowing, in more ways than one!

    Love this. I'm just amazed at the spaghetti/Se7en connection. I've heard of similar things happening to others, but it's usually in relation to a visual. Wow. Great post.

    Well I thought spaghetti sauce was awful to begin with, but thanks for sharing, these really made me reflect.

    I've only seen Waitress and Se7en. Your mention of the pies in Waitress made me hungry, but when you got to the spaghetti bit, that killed it. :-P

    Awesome picks! Especially love the Enter the Void and Waitress mentions. I really need to watch The Descent already!

    Nothing will ever ruin spaghetti sauce for me.

    Nothing.

    And now I remember that I really wanted to play along with this one.

      Ohhh gross. I didn't eat chocolate cake for the longest time after seeing Matilda either. Apparently films rub off on my eating habits. lol

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
