By Lindsey Bahr | Associated Press It is sickly hilarious to make a movie in which so much consensual sex is had, often so gleefully, that is not the least bit sexy. Though Bella Baxter’s insatiable libido might be her guiding light at first in “Poor Things,” sexual liberation (or “furious jumping,” as she calls it) is only part of this fantastical, anarchic journey to consciousness. Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and his star, Emma Stone, have a good and strange thing going whether she’s playing a striving scullery maid who…

Taste is entirely subjective when it comes to cinema, but anyone who doesn’t think Brotherhood of the Wolf is at the very least a minor masterpiece of feature-length what-the-f*ckery of the highest order isn’t worth listening to. Taking nothing but facts and data into consideration, it was a monumental success; hauling in $71 million on a budget of under $30 million made it one of the Top 10 highest-grossing French movies to ever release in the United States, as well as one of the nation’s top-earning international hits…

Not long after the opening installment was given a pass for being so unhinged in its conception and execution that it just about passes the nostalgia test, sequel Full Throttle has almost immediately been given the same treatment. Remarkably – given its…

via Mars Distribution Netflix subscribers can always be relied on to propel even the most forgotten of horror movies back to prominence, but even experienced of genre fans may left wondering what the hell they’ve just seen by the time the credits come up on 2006’s French flick Sheitan. The title is derived from the Arabic word for “devil”, just to give you a hint as to what’s in store. In all honesty, though, it’s impossible to even try and explain the madness that permeates co-writer and director Kim…
