10 leaves out of 10 leaves The high point of a rainy desert weekend filled with medical marijuana and vegan tacos, Valerian fills your cannabinoid receptors with a splendor that will cave your dome in. This trip is distinctly French, like Fantastic Planet, Barbarella and City of Lost Children. Valerian has a cool elegance and a pulsing electricity that radiates around the breathtaking visuals like the glow of a 70s head shop black light poster. The movie looks like $400 million was spent on it, it is that rich. And it is spring load crafted coil tight through out, one of your feels like 45 minute 2 hour plus movies.It should be required under public health law to go see this movie in 3D while stoned. However, I went with a French action movie fan who had nothing in his system and he loved it. He plans to see it again in 3D this week. The rest of the audience in the theater was having a ball as well, laughing at the humor and gasping in the right parts where your brain goes over another cliff. With this film and 5th Element, Bresson establishes his own kind of science fiction territory like George Lucas and Douglas Adams established theirs decades ago. Imagine Heavy Metal magazine for a wider age group brought to life with humor that is really gut busting funny. This will have a huge cult following ala 5th Element big time, but it really is crucial to see this in 3D in the theater, especially in the Freelands in the West.

10 Leafs - A Perfect Pot Movie Taskit and I medicated on a Colorado Grape hash parfait across a bed of White Rhino before seeing this late show Saturday night and it was phenomenal! There is a long tradition with us since we lived in Austin involving medicating to European Horror movies from back in the day, as the visuals and music combine into an extra-sensory experience when communing with the plant. Neon Demon takes the themes of Jean Rollin's films, particularly Fascination, and presents it through a visual palette like that of Dario Argento's Inferno. It is a trip that keeps on tripping all throughout the movie. Jena Malone deserves a Best Supporting Actress award for this film. Remember, it is a horror movie, and the last act had audience members pleading with the screen to stop. We are going to see it on the big screen at least 3 more times, like we did Drive, next time with Pineapple Express lollipops. Medicate and go see this big, you will fly forever.

I give this a full eight out of nine leaves, as this is one of the most herbal friendly movies released this year. I am a big fan of the French director of the first Piranha 3D, but I found myself enjoying the second one much more. The 3D photography is excellent, even better than John Carter. Lots of layering plus more attempts to have things jump out at the audience than we usually see in today's 3D. Especially good is the multiple close ups of fish trying to bite the viewers' faces off. The fish get more screen time in this version than any previous version of Piranha, much welcome to those of us who hate waiting until the end to see the monster. I don't understand why this is being given such a limited release; we had to drive 15 miles out of town into the desert to see it. This follows movies like Road Warrior and Superman 2, where the sequel makes big improvements on the original. The Hoff is hilarious too. Try to see this 3D tonight before it disappears and make sure you see it properly smogged.
