But how to throw yourself one? Should be easy, right? Find some Colin Farrell movies and watch them. But no, there’s a finer art that goes into curating the proper play order.
In Bruges director Martin McDonagh’s bleak and comedic drama Three Billboards strikes perfect note.
McDonagh’s bleak and comedic drama strikes perfect note.
This week on DVD and Blu-Ray we take a look at current Best Picture front runner Argo, Leos Carax's Holy Motors, the meta-comedy Seven Psychopaths, the meta-horror films Sinister and Mimesis, RZA's kung-fu epic The Man with the Iron Fists, Steve Austin and Dolph Lundgren in The Package, and the high rise Irish horror of Citadel.
While In Bruges was tightly wound and focused, Martin McDonagh’s sophomore effort, Seven Psychopaths is more of a spiralling series of darkly comic episodes that only gets thoughtful in the climax and even then it's never really meant to be taken seriously. It’s his crack at creating a violent cult comedy and thankfully he’s got the skills (and the cast) to pull off that trick.
We talked to Seven Psychopaths writer and director Martin McDonagh and its star Colin Farrell about their second collaboration following In Bruges, metafiction, the dark side of Los Angeles, and working with Christopher Walken and Tom Waits.
Enter for a chance to win one of ten pairs of passes to an advance screening of the comedy Seven Psychopaths in Ottawa, Halifax, or Winnipeg on Wednesday, October 10th at 7:00pm from Dork Shelf and Alliance Films.
Since we don't get days off on weeks like this, here's part five of our TIFF 2012 coverage with looks at The Place Beyond the Pines, Seven Psychopaths, Hotel Transylvania, A Royal Affair, Thermae Romae, Smashed, Rebelle, and Laurence Anyways.
