This American Wife
The body of a Real Housewife is an apparatus, an assembly of parts—hair, lips, dress, falsies, mic pack, cell phone, wine stem, camera, restaurant, brand, identity. This body is maintained and degraded, intoxicated and cleansed, in seasons and cycles, systems of supply and denial. The self needs a medium. Who cares who you are when you’re alone anymore?

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A pretty good comeback for Ben Wheatley, after his awfully disappointing 'Kill list'. The opening was terrific (reminding me a little of 'Kynodontas' in some ways), with a terrific choice for Soft Cell's 'Tainted love', sending the duo off on their surprising campaign. The first murder seemed a little quick and off-handed, though, as were some moments later on as well.But mostly, these two lovers / sightseers were a fun pair to follow, the tone of things was aptly understated, with a load of black, black humour to boot. Alice Lowe and Steve Oram did terrific jobs, but every other single member of the cast fitted the bill perfectly as well. And, finally, rainy old U.K. and its many amazing sights provided a wonderful backdrop.8 out of 10.

I was very surprised that every review wasn't along the lines of that of carliebseattle. This is close to being the worst movie I've ever seen. No plot - everything happens by happenstance. No exploration of character to glean the roots of the ongoing psychopathy (which, as this movie suggests, is apparently contagious). Most of what is intended to be comedy is not in the least humorous. There is a little bit of twisted sexual humour, but it's like giving a handful of popcorn to someone who hasn't eaten for three weeks. I've seen a lot of bad movies, but not many like this - ones so bad that it makes you angry you wasted your time watching it. The surprise ending is slightly satisfying, but doesn't come close to making up for the boring and misguided buildup. I'm only giving it a one out of ten because I'm not allowed to give it a zero rating. Warning - Don't be misled by the reviewer who claimed that you would like this if you loved Harold and Maude. You wouldn't.

I didn't like this film at all. It had no plot. No substance. No laughs. It was pointless.This wasn't a weird film, it was just plain silly and as immature as pulling the wings off a fly.I'd rather watch Percy Jackson again, than this pile of steaming cow-dung.If you want to see middle-of-nowhere, possibly in-bred, locals only, stereotyping then watch "The League of Gentleman" UK TV series.Being from the North West of England not that far from Yorkshire, I might be a just little bit biased. Though I can honestly say I will not ever consider recommending this film to anyone with half a brain, and a proper sense-of-humour.If you've read this far then thank you. I hope I have saved you some time and money by pleading with you to not see this dire film.

What happens when 2 un-complimentary psychopaths go on a holiday caravan adventure together? A whole lot of murder, apparently.What starts off as an innocent vacation between two social outcasts- Chris & Tina- quickly takes a darker turn when it becomes clear that Chris is not only a manipulative psychopath, but someone who will resort to murder over the most petty of concerns.Basically he'll murder anyone who annoys him. But he's gotten quite good at covering up his work and throwing the dogs off his scent.After witnessing one of these outbursts first hand, Tina comes around and begins to embrace the ethos of her beloved. And once she pops her murder cherry, she starts to realize that she can use random violence and murder to manipulate others- particularly Chris- with the best of 'em, if not better.This drives Chris mad. He thinks she's too chaotic- a liability even. She murders randomly, without the structured justification on which he bases his code. Though, really, she just murders anyone who crosses her, or whoever might arbitrarily be in the vicinity when she gets upset.Like she did before him, though, Chris eventually comes around to accept Tina's new-found tendencies toward murder.But it becomes ultimately clear that Tina has taken the upper hand when she discovers Chris' deepest, darkest fantasies- inevitably leading to the conclusion of the film.Sightseers is another brilliant black comedy-horror concoction from the twisted mind of Ben Wheatley- who is proving himself to be one of the most exciting new director's out there (especially after his $30,000 masterpiece- A Field In England). This film is much in the same vein of his previous two features: Down Terrace and Kill List- though each are original in their own ways. There are some interesting sequences which reference satanism and dark shamans, that will have you pondering on the symbolic meaning. And I do believe I detected some Vertigo influences spun in there. When all is said and done, Sightseers is a darkly hilarious film that is definitely worth a watch.6 out of 10.
