肮脏的小把戏

　　麦可(狄恩肯恩饰)在路上搭载了年轻性感的正妹(克莉丝汀波森饰)，麦可原先认为漫漫公路有正妹相伴艳福不浅，自以为遇上了豔遇的他，却不知道自己即将陷入一连串的阴谋及杀机，一趟没有终点的旅程即将展开…　　故事描述一个男人在路途中载了一位年轻的女人，原来只是好心借人搭便车，结果男主人公却发现自己陷入了一场可怕的午夜梦魇……　　If she looks too good to be true, then she absolutely is. Just ask Michael Anderson (Dean Cain), a gullible film editor who picks up a sexy young hitchhiker (Christie Burson) in the Arizona desert. After the most thrilling one night stand of his life, Michael becomes embroiled in a twisted love con involving a sadistic crime boss (Michael Madsen), a lonely henchman, and a thieving bank manager. Trust isn't just a bitch, it's a dirty little trick!　　A crime bosss money is missing and he wants it back by any ay means. The beautiful hitchhiker has it and wants to make the getaway.　　Alexander "Sasha" Shulgin is the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds - including MDMA, more commonly known as Ecstasy. Considered to be one of the greatest chemists of the 20th century, Sasha's vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research, making him a subject of fascination and controversy among fellow scientists and a folk hero to recreational users of psychedelics. Dirty Pictures uncovers the lifework of Dr. Shulgin and takes  viewers inside his Northern California home where he lives with his wife of 40 years and continues to carry out experiments in a makeshift laboratory. Director étienne Sauret likewise delves into the broader world of psychedelic research - where the fields of chemistry, neuroscience and philosophy intersect - and investigates whether or not this particular field could aid in solving the deepest mysteries of the human mind.

等待方舟

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
