Just rewatched it recently and it still holds up. I was gonna' say Scorsese doesn't disappoint but I googled his filmography and realized I haven't seen most. And there were a lot of titles that bombed or were hated by our milieu. Idk, I really liked "Silence" and this one as well. Unlike "The Big Short" it doesn't try to preach anti Capitalist stuff. And even skips over the technical jargon. The ending...

I originally wasn't planning on reviewing this thing because it's a big bag of nothing--but then I looked it up and saw the synopsis: "A rich college kid is taught a lesson." Taught a lesson? What f**king lesson? F**k you. There is no such story in this movie. There is not even a story in the whole movie so stop pretending--whoever wrote that didn't watch this pile of f**k. That's like saying Deuce...

KCD is an amazing medieval first person RPG game set in the midle ages (1400's Bohemia (Czech Republic), its developerd started at kickstarter. And they delivered. the game "tutorial intro" will last about 3 or 4 hours until the title starts, has amazing voice acting, and the developers went far trying to make it as realistic as they could for a videogame, you rise your skills by using them, you can...

I enjoyed this more than some Dracula adaptations. Decently-paced throughout, with typical Eggers style but an unfortunately high amount of jumpscares. I couldn't detect much agenda other than some feminist overtures (recurrent themes of men doubting the female lead, and depictions of confining corsets), but there could be some buried subversive themes

Monocultural cast, characters, setting, but this is a Turkish film. The pace of the film is very slow in today's norms, but it gives you some time to think. It paints a picture of poverty that I suspect wasn't uncommon in the west either, but feels almost alien today. Much like a striking book, I sometimes find myself referring back to this film when faced with questions about life

The story and jokes are enjoyable, despite being stained by the morals of the time. Blatant promiscuity is depicted as normal and no big deal, it's something woven into the characters' personalities. I think the archetypes depicted are accurate for the period, so it's a nice reminder of the sentiments back then. One nice thing is that although promiscuous before marriage, the main cast take promises...

This is one of those movies whose sum is more than its parts. Many hack critics will focus on an actor's performance and harp on about that while forgetting that it's not enough to have just acting, you gotta have a f**king story. I think Witherspoon took home some award for her performance in this, for example, but I don't give a sh*t. More than any actor's performance, you gotta have ambience to...

When I first heard about this reimagined Othello from 2001, I couldn't figure why I'd never seen it--given that the other Shakespeare remakes of that era rank among my favorite movies. And not only that, but it stars Stiles and Hartnett, which usually means kino inbound. What I wasn't expecting was a f**king fetish movie. I mean okay, maybe you can make the argument that Othello is basically the...

Loved this series. I think I am beginning to become more and more of an anime fan. I used to despise anime because of the decent amount of degeneracy and just the god awful weird people you'd see who watched anime, yet I think I'm coming to see the light with this.

But with that being said this anime is amazing. The art and visuals were so good I just had to binge watch it. The series definitely...

Brother Sun, Sister Moon is a typical example of flower-power, influencing the films of this period, though certainly not in a dark or racy kind of way, no this is a very clean and gentle film, and certainly the figure of Saint Francis is a good vehicle to express this "back to earth", "abandon material life" kind of attitude that was common in this period. Do I agree with this attitude? No and it's...

The first half hour of the movie is beautiful, the scenery, the characters.  Not much is really happening, but it's comfortable and you start to get roped in with the kind of friendship and trust where not much is said but everyone does their part. You might feel like you'd want the rest of the film to be like that, but you know in the back of your mind that the writer is going to introduce a "story"...

So I decided to re-watch this dark-comedy, I haven't seen this film in oh... 20 years perhaps and I remembered I really liked it when I was a teen, but now that I am older, I more clearly see it flaws. First, to start with the positive aspect, quality wise this film is consistent, there are no high points or low points, the film is entertaining through-out it's run, the problem is that it's just Jim...

The definition of kino is that it leaves you feeling altered afterwards, which this movie certainly does. Those who don't like it probably looked up the plot beforehand on Wikipedia, or spent the entire movie trying to resolve it into a genre category in their tiny little birdhead. If you're going to watch this, just watch the movie and don't form any preconceptions. In fact, that probably goes for...
