Los cronocrímenes (2007)
My personal favorite among time travel films
David Cronenberg was going to remake this. I don't pretend to know what transpired then, but I imagine he stopped himself because he realized he really just wished he had made it FIRST. The concept is so simple, and the turmoil produced slides into anxiety so neatly, it's very easy to wonder why this isn't shot in black and white, starring Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre or -- EHEM! -- Claude Rains (visual comparisons to 'The Invisible Man' notwithstanding). An instant classic. It remains my personal favorite among time travel films.
Primer (2004)
Frustrating, very frustrating
Watching the movie Primer for the first (and only time) made me feel stupid as an audience. For once, I never felt so clueless and doubtful in understanding a movie in my whole entire life. In my opinion, the movie was selfish for not making the audience get a full grasp in comprehending the film. I feel that a film is made for the purpose of to be watched by, if not the general public, majority of people from different backgrounds and classes. The movie is supposed to be made not only to be appreciated by the makers, but by their audience. A film is not meant to be stored inside a container, it's meant to be presented, watched, and enjoyed as any form of entertainment there is out there.
Traceroute (2016)
A drive into (nerd) history
A highly enjoyable documentary that doesn't only show us a variety of crazy intellectuals but may also invite us for a different way to observe culture and technology. I haven't read nearly enough books to understand half of the stuff they are talking about but the movie is so full with graphical gems and music/movie references that i still had a blast watching it.
The whole thing is a piece of art that, just in the style you would expect it, coming from monochrom. Also, the documentary style kind of reminded me of some of Werner Herzogs movies... Lo and Behold for example. Very, very, very good!!
DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010)
Fascinating doc
Two decades after the first DMTS trials, trans-media producer Mitch Schultz created a documentary film based on this unusual material (using the same name as the book), creating a counterculture sensation that is now available on Netflix, iTunes and Hulu. A variety of experts voice their unique thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields. As Strassman's story unfolds, the contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, including the synthesis of DMT in our brain's pineal gland, and its link to near-death experiences.
