The Thin White Dude's Movie Of The Month: August 2011 - The Skin I Live In


A great and delightfully twisted film from Pedro Almodovar. Well-developed mise-en-scene completely throws you into the film's universe, a darkly sexual and humorous experience with a gothic touch. Wonderful central performances from Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya and Marisa Paredes give the film a Shakespearian tragedy kind of feeling. Only Almodovar could make a film as twisted as this so damn entertaining!

The Thin White Dude's Prognosis - 8.8/10

Runner(s) Up: Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and Super 8 - Both films represent in different manners the upper-crust of blockbuster entertainment.

Avoid Like The Plague: Zookeeper - Waiting for the moment Kevin James lets someone defecate on his chest for a gag

Second-Most Deadly Disease: Cars 2 - Pixar drops the ball with 'Cars 2 Many Plots'
