Why? Just why? If the conversation around Kuso could stop right there, life would be just fine. Yet, more needs to be said--either as a civic duty to protect my fellow humans, or as some sort of twisted recommendation. One thing is certain and as cliche as it sounds, absolutely under no circumstances should this movie be watched while consuming any food or liquids.

So a Luchador, a drug addict and an organ harvester walk into a bar--haven't hear this one before huh? No worrie, Lowlife is one of the quiet gems rattling around the festival circuit that a whole lot more people should know about. It's hyperbolic to call Ryan Prows the next coming of Quentin Tarantino, but it's also shocking how close his debut feature comes to selling just that. 

We've all been there; life starts to get tough, hubby's inattentive and unfaithful, kids are rambunctious and so, to compensate, we lose control of our mental faculties and begin to live life as a dog. It's a story as old as time. That's the world of Bitch; written, directed by and starring Marianna Palka. 

A few years back there was a vampire office flick by the name of Bloodsucking Bastards that had the distinction of being "Office Space with vampires". Now we've got The Night Watchmen which doubles and triples down on its movie mashup by being some forgettable mix between Zombieland, the aforementioned Bloodsucking Bastards and Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
