Pick 41: Slick Flick Pick: Premedicated Murder--Bent Broad in a Straightjacket (A Quack, Prozac and a Sleepstabbing Attack); (Side Effects, 2013)

Greetings, Cinematic Fanatics! Allow your not quite long in the tooth, but your falsetto soothsayer of every hot, lukewarm or cold hard truth the imperceptible pleasure of proscribing, for your lethargy, a stimulating cocktail of a slick side-effect-laden flick where things are inverted and distorted far from what they seem, where into a pillow Rooney will scream and the surreal music coupled with the fog bank hazy film style convinces even the most lucid that they're in the thick and thicket of a dream, here they'll go against medical advice and what their doctors deem; the antagonizing, agonizing bicurious tag team, mayhem wreaking, ill-gotten gains seeking sightly, sensual and seductive duo pull wicked wool over even the keenest eyes through delivery of well-practiced lies and strategic exposure of toned, smooth appetizing thighs. Rooney Mara, on our emotional psyches leaves an indelible scar-a, though she be but a little swallower of a proscribed pill, she is ferocious in her knife slashing kill, this is not a flick with a series of kinetic thrills, nor a rampant trail of kills, rather a slow-burning, stomach-churning climax earning production and though not a licensed physician, I am somewhat of a cinephilic magician tasked with the satisfying task of gifting you this shocking, sensational, stupendous, scary, scandalous, salacious and sordid treat of Slick Flick Pick, an entertaining, slick/flick-explaining series, a desirable diversion from the main pill-popping vein of Chemohawk Sessions. You're my Cinematic Fanatic; I, your worthwhile f****** cinephile. For your 41st episode, I review one of our my most curious, intelligent, Hitchcockian and psychologically fulfilling entries in Soderbergh collection: a trippy, faux tranquil, socially relevant as it is malevolent superbly acted by an attractive godd*** cast with performances that stand the test of time and last, every actor playing off each other and toying with our expectations, Rooney is as terrifying as she is deft at lying, her intense eyes mesmerize and she proves a pro at sleepwalking, cooking, stabbing and our attention grabbing. Enter, with me, you cinematic fanatics, into the realm of film's fantasy while we unwind the grind of reality… I offer you: Slick Flick Pick: Pick 41: Slick Flick Pick: Premedicated Murder--Bent Broad in a Straightjacket (A Quack, Prozac and a Sleepstabbing Attack); (Side Effects, 2013). Today, we discuss--the math of a gal being as gorgeous as she is gloomy, as greedy as she is gullible, as ghostly as she is guilty, the enviable position of a doctor who encounters three drop dead knockout femme-fatales in one afternoon, Vinessa Shaw, Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta Jones, and lives to tell the fstars tale, how the busiest city in the nation can be shot in such a cleverly deceptive way that the main characters appeal isolated, separated and sequestered from a living, breathing world, a shocking deterrent to the recidivism rate of criminal acts i.e. spouse killing a recently paroled spouse, the dangers of approaching your wife's back in the kitchen and the miles of sympathy you can elicit from your boss if you pretend to upchuck in their presence. - Your worthwhile cinephile: The prescriber of your slick medicinal flicks, Dr. Falsetto Prophet P.S.
