Another Monkey Movie Review

In this creepy little film the kid from Billy Elliot has mommy issues.  He's convinced that his hot step mother, who he bangs in his tree house, has killed his real mother.  He gets tossed out after having dipped his young wick in his hot step mom and he heads to Edinburgh where he spies a woman who looks uncannily like his deceased mom.  So he does what any young horny kid with mommy issues does, he stalks the super sexy woman who looks like his deceased mom and he spies on her.  He ends up following her to work, gets her to hire him, ends up bedding her, and then when she finds out about his mommy fetish, she dresses up in one of her old dresses and she bangs him again.  After all that sex with his mommy look alike he goes back home to settle things with his hot step mom, which he does by nearly drowning her.  After his father finally fills him in on all the detail about his mother's suicide the kid finally decides to lay off and go back to Edinburgh, hopefully to make the beast with two backs with his hot as hell mommy look alike.  But it seems she's moved on when he gets back to town because hey, one night alone is enough to drive a gal to a different penis.

Yeah, it's just as creepy as it sounds, except it's even more creepy because the kid is a voyeur who also enjoys a bit of crossdressing.  And his hot step mom, played by the insanely hot Claire Forlani, clearly has no problem with banging him and would do it again if it helped her get what she wants.  The real star of this movie for me though is Sophia Myles as the woman who looks like his dead mother.  She is white hot sexy and it's hard to notice anything other than her when she's onscreen, well it was for me anyway.

As disturbing and creepy as this film is, I still could not help but like it a bit.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for Sophia Myles.  Watch it if you like, but be warned, it's chock full of Oedipal issues.

That's a wrap people

Either Kirby and I watch and love all the same movies or she is me, either way she kicked everyone's ass in my Movie Line Meme post. Tying for second with one correct guess each was Matty Boy, D Cup, and my blog and real life friend Snad. Everyone else finished third.

There were two quotes no one got and the answers are as follows:
#7 came from a little seen and less loved film by Alex Cox called:

I'm not sure who hated it more, the critics or everyone else who stayed away from this movie in droves. While there was plenty of hate for this odd offbeat movie, it got none from me because I loved it. I didn't take it seriously and I laughed liked a mad man the first time I saw it, but in retrospect the first time I saw it I was smoking joints as big as my head so that may have had something to do with why I liked it so much. This film featured one of the most eclectic casts ever, it had Elvis Costello, the Pouges, Joe Strummer, Dennis Hopper, and Grace Jones, among others. If you ever see it you'll probably hate it so don't go bitchin' at me if you do or I might just fling poo at you.

Line #8 is from one of my new favorites and it's another movie that most critics hated. It comes from Art School Confidential.

I liked this movie so much I watched it twice when we first rented it and it wasn't just because Sophia Myles has a topless scene in it. The guy on the left in the photo cracked me up and he reminded me of me when I was in college and he is the one who utters the line I quoted in my original post. I loved the inside jokes about art and artists and I loved the way they skewered pop culture and people who mock pop culture in this movie. It's also got great performances by John Malkovich, Max Minghella, and the guy who plays Earl's brother on My Name is Earl. And it has Sophia Myles topless in it, hubba hubba.

I'll do another movie quote post in a week or so but I'll make it a bit more difficult for that fiendishly clever Kirby when I do.
