American Mary (2012)
Deadpan fun
I thought this movie was hilarious! The lead's laconic, deadpan delivery is everything 🤣
Acting ability varies wildly in this picture, but there are some truly great moments. Lance's soliloquy is the best!
Someone mentioned Cronenberg, and for sure that makes sense, but this flick has even stronger ReAnimator vibes, yet with a kooky body-positive slant.
Enjoy!
Note to self: Rewatch Boxing Helena.

Excellent performance by Dennis Hopper
Weird flick, a little Altman-esque in terms of rambling dialogue that starts and stops off-screen sometimes. Also a lot of PTSD scenes, can't always tell what's real and what's in the lead character's mind. My friend says he found it reminiscent of Cassavetes. I found Dennis Hopper's performance very compelling and even heartbreaking. Also helps me to understand my dad's generation (Boomers). Still relevant for war vets today. Worth a watch.
