Dance Scenes That I Love: The Locomotion from Inland Empire


Hello and welcome to martes trece!  

Now, I know that a lot of people will tell you that Friday the 13th is the most unlucky day of the year but actually, in Spain, it is well know that Tuesday the 13th is the day that you have to watch out for.  My grandmother would literally not leave the house on Tuesday the 13th.  Myself, I may leave the house today but I’ll drive very slowly and I’ll watch my step.

Now, personally, I think the best way to deal with an unlucky day is through dance!  So, allow me to bless you with a dance scene that I love.

This is from David Lynch’s 2006 film, Inland Empire.  Inland Empire, which clocks in at 3 hours, is perhaps Lynch’s most unsettling film.  However, it does feature a little dancing, as seen below:

Good luck!

Dance Scenes That I Love: Ex Machina


Earlier today, Jeff and I saw Ex Machina and we thought it was brilliant!  Now, before I (among others here at the TSL) get around to posting a full review later this week, I thought I would share a scene that I loved from the film.  This is the scene that, when it happened, everyone in the theater suddenly realized that they were watching a movie that they would never forget.

I’m not going to go into the details of just why Oscar Isaac and his “friend” are dancing in this scene.  For now, all that’s important is that they are.

See Ex Machina!

Dance Scenes That I Love: The Perks of Being A Wallflower


I really probably shouldn’t share this scene until I actually post my review of The Perks of Being A Wallflower.  But I’ve still  got three other Back to School films to review before I get to Perks and I want to share this scene now!  In this dance scene that I love, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller take over the dance floor in spectacular fashion!
