[Spinaroonie]

They made this movie so that people who couldn't see secretary could see areally bad horror version of it.

Without nudity.

Secretary: Girl who's into cutting gets into trouble and into a BDSM relationship

May: Girl who's into cutting gets into trouble and into a b-horror movie.

Another reason to give up any and all faith in humanity.

May is on Harry Knowles' top ten of the year list.

If one geek likes it, it must be worth seeing, right?

This from the man who cried at the end of "Armegeddon".

This from the man who regarless of the genre starts his review "I've always been a fan of [zombie raping chicken movies...]"

This from the man who likened the directing in Blade II to eating pussy.

Plus he always gives positive reviews to movies that advertise on his site. Simone anyone?

May is on Harry Knowles' top ten of the year list.

From said Top Ten:


"Eventually, I finally tracked the film down. Never giving up. When I catch the scent of a great film, I don’t give up the trail till it is in my hands. This movie does not have American Distribution. This movie isn’t coming to a theater near you. This movie won’t be on Cable late at night and most likely will never see a shelf of fucking BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO. Why will you not be seeing this film? Because most likely when the studio folks see this film hitting at the Number 1 spot on my list, they’ll desperately track down a copy of the film. Buy the remake rights. Bury the original in a shallow unmarked grave, forever hidden by the eyes of man, forcing you… the avid filmlover to track down region-less DVD copies online via E-Bay and what not, just to sate your desire for brilliance. "

Excuse me, I gotta clean the superiority that oozed on to me.

Hey! I just rented this movie the other day and it's actually really good! I remembered this old thread about it and decided to let everyone know it is indeed entertaining. It's a step up from the regular b-movie fodder due to the performance of the lead actress. Never seen her before but if this is an indication of where her talents lie, she'll be around for a long while.

Yeah, I have to admit the film is pretty trashy but so what? I liked it better than 90% of the Hollywood B.S. they pumped out this summer so I recommend it.

May was a letdown. Some scenes are guilty-pleasure fun. BUt in between you're stuck with badly written character development that goes nowhere. A charismatic performancce by the lead elevates it somewhat but its not much more than a straight-to-video melodrama.

With lowered expectations and a desire to merely see somethign slgihtly odd, give it a try. Otherwise look elsewhere.

Sometimes lowering the expectations is the only thing you can do in order to enjoy a movie these days.

Oh, and I forgot to add: One of the things that I particularly liked was the fact that the DVD features commentary from "Kevin The Craft Services Guy".

I liked this movie more than Mouse. I was expecting something very different from what it was, yet I still enjoyed it. The performance by the lead was very strong. The script was quirky and it worked for me.

This is a bizarre twist on the whole slasher genre - it adds a bit of headiness to it. It's weird - a dark comedy/slasher film that has just a bit of psychological drama.

If you're looking for something off of the beaten path that's not earth shattering, but yet provides 2 hours of amusement - May is a decent call. I'm glad I saw it - but it didn't quite live up to the hype.
