Cinemania (2002)
*** (out of 4)
I had never heard of this film until reading Brook's review of it and I think I enjoyed it a bit more than he did, although I agree that this film is somewhat disturbing to watch. It follows five New York film buffs who go to all ends to see the films they love. I always thought I was near the top of those who watch films but after this film I realized that I'm rather tame. One of the men claims to have seen nearly a thousand movies in one month. One guy refuses to have sex with women because the sex can't be in B&W like in the movies. There's another woman who has a collection of soda cups, which she bought at various movies. I'm not going to sit here and call these people freaks or weirdos because they enjoy what they do and if it makes them happy then who am I to call them out on it? At first I thought these people made a few good points but soon their obsession got pretty damn scary with some of the things that were being said. The most bizarre thing was one guy who said he should kill people talking in the theater but he might not get to finish watching the movie because he'd get arrested.
