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...
I wanted to watch this film, because I got the impression this might be a critique about feminism, bonus was that this is a (very loose) adaption of Alice in Wonderland, which goes well with my previous film, alas it's really none of these. Nope, it's just a surreal French art-house flick about a girls journey into puberty, which is fairly obvious, the battle of the sexes, the unicorn, the symbolism...
It's probably beating a dead and buried horse to call this movie bad by now, but I finally slumped down in a pile of self-loathing and forced myself to watch this 122-minute humiliation ritual all the way through. The first time I tried to watch this turd, I peaced out somewhere between the Rain Man wannabe showing up and Jlo's "revelation" that she's a dyke. There was just something that smelled...
By far one of the best and most memorable adaptions of Alice in Wonderland and it's something special, this is not a story driven adaption of the book, it's visually orientated, dreamlike and frankly bizarre and that's an understatement. Where to start? The film has only one actor, the girl who plays Alice, she "apparently" doses off and finds herself in a dreamlike world where Wonderland is a twisted...
A black male (a good moral police agent) and a black female (a good moral scientist) are about to change the path of history and beat the white male traditionalists
I can't believe I waited 3 days for the torrent to complete for this, but no surprises why no one's seeding. Originally I was going to watch it on 123 movies, but what they had labeled as this movie was instead a strange skateboard flick overdubbed in Russian. In retrospect, I should have watched that instead. I'm sort of burying the lead here: This movie sucked dick. Let's start off with things...
Although a lot of the jokes will be considered woke to a conservative White audience, the type of Woke here is closer to genuine POC radical leftism. It's a pick your poison scenario. A lot of Woke stuff may be more snide, subtle or may throw in a weak phrase like "kill all men" but it's just plain naive. This show is more upfront with its leftist themes such like American Imperialism in a way that...
Prime example of a show that isn't afraid to critique us Whites from a progressive perspective but doesn't cuck itself to wokeism and the impulse towards absolute colourblindess. It has aged beautifully and conservatives may even find sympathy for Hueys views on Obama
Unlike Millennium, this film is slightly better in my opinion, just because it has a good dose of family tragedy, which makes it easier to care about what is going on. A recently widowed father and his young daughter, get guests at their still unfinished hotel, they are disaster tourists from the future. Some good points, the mystery in this film develops better in my opinion, there is plenty of inter-family...
I have been gone for a while, but I hope I can throw another review on this site once and a while, one of two films I saw last night, both with a time-travel theme. Is it any good? Well, Millennium is a decent but lackluster time-travel story about future humans kidnapping people who are about to die in plane crashes and replacing them with cloned cadavers, because they want to repopulate the future?...
