This week we dipped our toe into the water of swimming-oriented flicks. We discussed the movies Swimmers, The Swimming Pool and Men Who Swim. We also drank’d a beer from the New Glarus Brewing Co. called Black Top. We chewed on the black IPA and discussed its virtues. [Download] InstaFlicka Podcast S3E35: First Date BJs  &nbsp

CONSENSUS: “The King of Devil’s Island is moody, gripping and relevant, even though its story takes place far in the past. It has its flaws, including being a bit longer than it needs to be, but we recommend giving it a try.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 3.50   This gripping drama tells the true story of the uprising at the notorious Bastoy

CONSENSUS: “Whatever you are looking for, The Secret of Nikola Tesla is probably not it. Fans of good movies or Nikola Tesla will be sorely disappointed. Not worth it.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 1.50   The life and work of Nikola Tesla — the noted physicist, engineer and inventor — is explored with some dramatic license in this absorbing biopic that sheds

CONSENSUS: “It is hard to track the movie’s narrative, made even more difficult because it is subtitled, but if you are willing to put up with a little incoherence, I’m a Cyborg can be as fun as the title suggests.”

CONSENSUS: “Dogtooth is a one of a kind movie, that is both compelling and horrifying at the same time. It is not like anything you have ever seen before. It is a movie that will make you mouth ‘what the fuck’ over and over again… in a good way.”

CONSENSUS: “Trollhunter is fun. The pseudo found footage film is obviously a bit farcical, but it has a pleasurable mix of horror and comedy. It most likely won’t induce belly laughs or hair-raising thrills, but the adventure is nonetheless easy to enjoy.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 3.50   Three students enter the Norwegian woods to film a documentary on a bear poacher

CONSENSUS: “An interesting and layered adaptation of a book, this Swedish thriller should be consumed post-haste. It is dark and doesn’t pull punches. There is a ton to like here, especially Noomi Rapace in the lead role.”

This week we discussed three newer foreign flicks including Trollhunter, I’m a Cyborg, but That’s Ok and Dogtooth. It was a week of laughs and a week of psychological horrors. During the show we drank a rather boozy beer from Samuel Adams called The Vixen. We also discussed, perhaps of a result of the highly alcoholic brew, the issue of Satan’s genitals.

The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy: Extended Edition is now streaming on Netflix Instant Watch. The trilogy, which comprises extended versions of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, contains more than two hours of additional material. I didn’t realize Peter Jackson directed these movies… Anyway… This version of  The Millennium Trilogy,

CONSENSUS: “Audiences will be pretty split on this movie. It is either fine B-movie entertainment or a revolting and dumb experience. There is not a much in between with this controversial flick.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 2.33   After their car breaks down while in Germany, Americans Lindsay (Ashley C. Williams) and Jenny (Ashlynn Yennie) wind up at a remote villa —

CONSENSUS: “There is a pretty good chance that you will utter the words ‘what the fuck’ at some point while watching this movie. It is beautiful, crazy and disturbing. This movie will haunt you.” INSTAFLICKA INDEX 3.00   After their child dies, a therapist (Willem Dafoe) and his wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) flee to their cabin in the woods, where they
