175 - Cursed and NZIFF Recap

from Mixed Bag Hosted by Mixed Bag

"Dipping sauces are at the core of American culture." "If I have a kid... what if I name her Cinema?" Such insights as these can only be brought to you by the Mixed Bag trio. Did you miss us? Are you on the edge of your seats to find out what we thought of 2005's Cursed, a werewolf movie that was re-shot more times than its central monster was by the LAPD? Well, too bad, because first you'll have to listen to an hour of takes about Whānau Marama New Zealand International Film Festival and the films wherein. We talk about the GOOD (Whistle, Elephants in the Fog, La Bola Negra, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, All of a Sudden, La Gradiva, Blue Heron, Everytime, Flesh and Fuel, Big Girls Don't Cry), the BAD (Hope, The Chronology of Water) and the MIXED (Fjord, Coward) of the Fest, before moving on to talk about Wes Craven's hopelessly muddled werewolf flick that at least provided some good "Jesse Eisenberg at a computer" clips for future Social Network fan edits.
