LES CRIMES DU FUTURES -  Plus de 20 ans après l'avoir abandonné, Cronenberg renoue avec le fantastique, à travers un film viscéral et intellectuel qui joue sur plusieurs tableaux. Une réflexion sur la relation entre l'homme et son corps, les transformations possibles ou subies du corps humain, "suis-je un corps ou ai-je un corps". il mène également une réflexion sociale sur la différence, la mise à l'écart des minorités, mais également le monde des influenceurs.

Cette œuvre à la cinématographie crue, trash et dérangeante, exhibe des corps mutants, dont les organes proliférants, beautés intérieures, deviennent des objets d’art.

C'est un film à énigmes, dont certaines clefs sont livrées au fur et à mesure en exigeant du spectateur toute son attention, qui n'est pas facilitée par la photographie, chef d'œuvre de glauque et d'austérité. 

Pourquoi la chirurgie du docteur Cronenberg opère-t-elle toujours ? Parce que sa science-fiction n’a jamais cédé aux rêveries futuristes ni joué au jeu des prophéties. Elle est restée arrimée à la seule chose qui l’intéresse vraiment, le corps humain et son devenir. Il met ainsi en scène le principal terrain de l’esprit et seul lieu possible d’une véritable réflexion sur nos conditions de vie au présent, et le futur de l’humanité.

NOTE 15/20 - Entre fascination, répulsion, délire visionnaire et manifeste alarmiste « Les crimes du futur » reste une œuvre évidemment non consensuelle dont la mise en scène et en images ultrasophistiquée provoque un malaise délibéré.

Dark Discoveries Review of Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades

Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades By John Edward Lawson Afterbirth Books, 2005 ISBN: 0-9766310-3-2 181 pgs. $12.95 Bizarro author John Edward Lawson's first short fiction collection is a messy affair. Messy in the pulsing, spurting, purple toxic sludge pit kind of way. Messy like those moments when Cronenberg decides to show you wet things writhing. For those jumping into this collection, invest in some wet-naps; you're going to feel dirty by the end of the affair.

Lawson's tales here, many of which are experimental in a way that defies standard storytelling, are uniformly strange. For example, the best story of the batch, "Consumable Leftovers," involves a man who leaves behind his cubicle life for the wilderness. What starts as an entertaining attack on modern culture takes a grotesque (or is it just gross?) turn when the narrator finds himself encamped in the warm and fruitful bowels of a giant. I'm not kidding. But Lawson manages to take what could have been a juvenile exercise in ass humor and turns it into a funny and entertaining metaphorical rumination.

Other stories of note are "Fabricating Opiates" in which three characters roam a labyrinthine house and are forced by old men to remove garments for reasons unknown, and "A Blight in the Darkness" about Urban Decay Specialists working in a corroding future to make sure the world continues to fall to bits. And the author has an obsession with ice cream trucks that can only be described as "unhealthy."

Not every strange bird in this collection takes flight (as in sections 2-4 of "Less Than Lickable," a lengthy piece about the obsessions of a mentally ill man) but when Lawson's firing on all synapses he's got a gift for the surreal that makes you follow him into the weirdest, wettest places with a smile on your face. And for those looking for an escape from werewolves, serial killers, and vampires, Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades offers a nice vacation- as long as you don't mind venturing into a gigantic bowel now and then. —Jeremy Robert Johnson for Dark Discoveries

New Fresh (by Niandra06)

This is what a healthy couple does on a boring Sunday's evening: recording a weird song that could be the soundtrack of some David Cronnenberg's movie. Guess where the dialogue at the beggining comes from? oh and watch all the video it has a surprise at the end and the songs gets better.
