Law of Desire – Surreal, riotous, and amusing comedy concentrating on a gay love triangle, with equal treatments of desire, sex, fantasy, and disaster. Cast includes Eusebio Poncela, Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Miguel Molina, Bibi Andersson, Manuela Velasco, and Nacho Martinez. 100 minutes, 1987.
Casino – Sam Rothstein has worked his way through the mafia ranks and now runs the casino that his Chicago outfit owns. When mafia strong arm Nicky Santoro arrives in town, Sam pleads with him to keep a low profile. Business is good, and his services aren’t really necessary. Nicky just can’t help himself, and he starts banging heads. Now Sam’s peace world gets turned completely upside down.
Rock My World – This is a pretty good comedy set in England (however shot and funded in Canada) that went directly to video in the U.S. although is far more involving than its theatrical fate could show. We see an upper-class British couple lease their house to a rock band and end up posing as the butler and chef while the misfit team ultimately shows up. Observing the interplay create between these especially variant generations and lifestyles is fun and the music is shockingly catchy.

Inglorious Bastards – 5 cadets getting ready to be court-martialed in WW2 take off and try to make their way through France, wishing to get to the Swiss border. Cast includes Ian Bannen, Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson, Peter Hooten, and Michael Pergolani. 100 minutes, 1978.

Adam’s Apples – This movie is a strange dark comedy about two very diverse men who have a battle of wills. It is a newly developed religious zealot versus a hard core neo-Nazi criminal. The battle of good versus evil is on. The main stars are Ulrich Thomsen, Mads Mikkelsen, Nicolas Bro, and Paprika Steen. (German-Danish-comedy directed by Anders Thomas Jensen)
