Dark Comedies && Independent Films

As of late I've been browsing through the Dark Comedy/Indepedent category on Netflix and I've come across some title's you might be interested in. So if you've got a weekend to kill then here are a few flicks you may be interested in.

Noise -
Directed by Henry Bean
Rated NR 1hr31m
Desperate for some peace and quiet, New York attorney David Owen (Tim Robbins) takes matters into his own hands. He starts by leaving notes on cars whose owners don't turn off their alarms, but when he's not getting the results he wants, he ups the ante. Soon, he becomes known as "the Rectifier," alternately winning the adulation of citizens and the ire of the mayor (William Hurt). Bridget Moynahan co-stars.

Factotum -

Directed by Bent Hamer
Rated R 1hr33m

Based on Charles Bukowski's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, this edgy drama centers on rootless jack-of-all-trades Henry Chinaski (Matt Dillon), a rebel writer with absolutely no desire to live a conventional life. Working blue-collar jobs in Minneapolis, Chinaski gets by just fine as long as he can indulge in his four primary loves: women, drinking, gambling and writing. Lili Taylor, Marisa Tomei and Fisher Stevens co-star.

Snatch -
Directed By Guy Ritchie
Rated R 1hr42m
While transporting a pinched 84-karat sparkler to his stateside boss, a gangster stops off in London and inadvertently triggers a slew of fateful events that wends through the worlds of bookies, pawnshops, bare-knuckle boxing and swine.

The Vicious Kind -
Directed By Lee Toland Krieger

There's nothing like first love to bring family tensions to a boil in this dark comedy, nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards. Adam Scott stars as Caleb Sinclaire, whose emotions go haywire when his brother (Alex Frost) brings home new girlfriend Emma (Brittany Snow). As the dysfunctional family is propelled into chaos, Caleb and Emma confront their mutual distrust and attempt to resist a growing sexual attraction.
