             I've admitted in the past that I will wait around for a meuvie's release for quite a bit of time, but this is ridiculous! Over a year ago I posted a big ol' list of horror meuvies I was dying to see and since then I have in fact seen them all... all except for Hissss which seems to not really even have a release date. I realize that director Jennifer Lynch probably has nothing to do with this, but I am semi-blaming her for it because I was just beginning to warm up to her thanks to her film Surveillance and was dying to see her follow-up.
             And now?
             Now she is boiling my potatoes because I got nuthin'. And I don't like when my potatoes boil.
             HURRY UP!

        I’ve been writing for Gutter for about three and a half years now I feel the need to perhaps branch out a bit from just plain old film reviews. Granted, this isn’t going to be anything drastic and I doubt any of you will notice the change but it’s time to throw in some different things to spice up my little Gore Whore world. That being said, I would like for you all to give a standing ovation for one of my favorite film directors out there--- who happens to have a new film out entitled Bluebeard which is available on Netflix--- Ms. Catherine Breillat!

         I was first introduced to the works of Ms. Briellat 5 years ago when I was at the young and impressionable age of 21. You see, I was working at the Starbucks in Barnes & Noble at The Inner Harbor at the time when a fellow employee of mine informed me that we were being gifted with a lurvely Employee Appreciation discount and everything in the store was fair game. This shouldn’t come to as a surprise, but I immediately skipped over to the DVD section and got my peruse on. After being there for what felt like ages, I finally settled on a  film which I was utterly unfamiliar with Fat Girl:

You wouldn’t guess this from the trailer posted above, but as the credits rolled I was most certainly taken aback; I had seen many a film by that time in my young life but never one so graphic and dark directed by a woman--- yes, I was profiling someone based upon their gender--- and I fell instantly in love with her, her style of storytelling, and her style of filmmaking.
                She was a hero(ine) to me.
                Since that faithful day I have watched many of her magnetic films. Never one to shy away from sex or the sexual awakening of females most were wonderful:

But one or two may have made me squirm a little in my seat:

        Either way, this woman has got to be one of the most powerful and amazing filmmakers of the last 35 years and I happen to find it a pity that more people aren't familiar with her work. Therefore I implore you, ladies and gentlemen, to hop on your internets and watch her films as soon as you have a spot of free time. You shan't be disappointed!
