AINT IT COOL interviews SPRING BREAKERS’ Harmony Korine: “I wanted to be a complete and utter bombardment of the senses. I wanted it unrelenting. I never wanted the viewer to be too close to being comfortable. I wanted the film to be constantly shifting gears and having images and sounds falling from all directions. In some ways, it was like making a film that was closer to electronic music or loop-based movement with things that repeat and are almost working in these micro scenes, or even like pop music, pop songs with hooks, and choruses. There are things in the film that almost become like mantras and stuff, things that get stuck in your brain, and you can’t get rid of.” READ MORE HERE..

AICN: OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN might be ridiculous, but it’s ‘entertaining and brutal’

The HORROR REPORT has fallen

Last night, I wrote this about the film OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN:

It’s no surprise that an R-rated action film came in second to a family friendly flick.. but perhaps there is something deeper.. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN is about war, a terrorist attack on D.C., and carnage.. maybe we are just having too much of that on real TV .. maybe we just will reject it this year at theaters.. Just maybe..

And reactions came quick.
Thanks to everyone from the emails … especially the person claiming to be from a studio who would sue me to defaming the film (first amendment anyone?), the angry reader who threatened torture (get a life), and the friend who wrote that perhaps I should stop reporting so much about box office numbers (I think you’re right)
