“When a lobster that has just lost a battle is exposed to serotonin, it will stretch itself out, advance even on former victors, and fight longer and harder. The drugs prescribed to depressed human beings, which are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, have much the same chemical and behavioural effect. In one of the more staggering demonstrations of the evolutionary continuity of life on Earth,...
I remember likeing this movie when it came out in 06, i like the fact that its a WWI movie because a lot of War movies are set in WWII. Following the exploits and training of a young American man traveling to France to fight for Americas allies before America was doing so. its pretty standard for its time high action.....group dynamics and plot resolving and light diversity hiring. other than that...
3.6 Stars A slow cinematic film with frequent punctuations of aggression and violence. Sonatine has some very beautiful scenery, shots and sequences some of which are infused with the slightest hint of bleak humor. The soundtrack is unique and understated. I didn't really get a feel for the film till I was just under half way through the runtime, until then I was ready to abandon it. Don't expect...
Too many unrealistic scenarios to keep my suspension of disbelief. The main girl is a Mary Sue who racemixes with an injun and you're supposed to believe her gruff cowboy father is a-ok with this. Really dumb. Like everything else made by this writer, it's a poz'd pig wearing the lipstick of based boomer renegade cowboy aesthetics. I would avoid anything he writes
Hercules in the founding father of a craze for Italian sword-and-sandal films that lasted for about 7 years and ended up creating dozens of really bad rip-offs and cash-ins, most of them forgotten. But the first film is still good enough to watch, though in all honesty it's outdated. The entire film, though charming, mostly goes from long dialogue scenes to bad fight sequences and back again, with...
Saw this flick after Kung Fu Hustle it's one of the better Stephen Chow Kung Fu comedy films. Involving outlandish soccer skills of group of wayward former Shaolin monks and a poor girl who makes buns. Facing off against much better teams and finding their inner power again. The movie had me laughing quite a bit with it's antics. If you like wacky or over the top Kung Fu movies it's right up your alley...
"‘Shape of Water’ Themed Dildo Sales Skyrocket Following Oscars Success"... "the emerging fetish of laying alien eggs insider yourself" - VICE sex will soon be as inhuman as possibly imaginable
I would have enjoyed it more if I watched the documentary first. But even if I did, the source material was just to goofy to pull off. And it's uncomfortable to watch psychosis, not fun like a psychological thriller. Instead it's a dream within a dream within a dream and nonstop misery with no actual shocks. So worse than modern horror like "Saw" because it's only the stuff that makes you cringe. Having...
Found this music video compilation a while ago on YouTube, when I tried to look it up again it was gone, but luckily it could be watched on other sites. Basically its several of Depeche Modes early music video's created by Anton Corbijn, who is know for his classy black-and-white video's and his wonderful short symbolic video edits, that flow well with the music. Is there and overal theme? I am not...
Excellent War Drama about the Dichotomy of effective command and bureaucratic command as well as the tolls incurred when they clash
Just go with it. Lazy, uninspired filmmaking. Just go with it. Awful, horrible people celebrated. Just go with it. Rampant product placement inside the film. Just go with it. The very opposite of funny in a comedy. Just go with it. Movie studios and ticket purchasers paying for millions of dollars exotic vacation for Adam Sandler and his friends in place of an actual movie. Just go with it. And they...
This is a nice little classic film that is more than the slap-stick comedy I assumed that it would be. Some moments are genuinelly moving. When you watch this you feel a nostalgia for a bygone day of 1980s America which was in so many ways a better time than now. All I would say is that this is not a film with a necessarily positive message but it is fun and mostly harmless
 This movie came out almost 30 years ago- in 1993- and garnered countless nominations and awards. It is one of those movies that showcase a year in the life of a person or a family with all their hardships but with no real purpose in the end. There is no payoff. There is thankfully no agenda, but this maybe due to it having been made so long ago. Depp and DiCaprio are at the beginning...
Watch it
The screenplay had been offered to, and rejected by, virtually every big director in Hollywood before Paul Verhoeven got hold of it. He threw it away after reading the first pages, convinced it was just a dumb action movie. His wife, Martine, read it all the way through and convinced him that the story was layered with many satirical and allegorical elements, leading Verhoeven to direct the film. Concerned...
Morbin just too Morb to my Morb taste! i can’t handdle the amourb of Morbin, right wing racist morbius punjabi Morbius! I really don’t think its necesary the 5 minutes escene of a black man getting morbed until the death by morbius, but who I’m to judge?
I love the Rankin and Bass Studio Topcraft art style that was used in these 80s fantasy movies. that being said this movie was made to cash in on the fact that Ralph Bakshie only told the story of the first two books in the trilogy...so R&B did the Hobbit and return of the king....this is a far cry from the hobbit...there are way to many distracting musical numbers. i figure it was to lighten the...
Try as it might to seem hip and relevant, Emilio Estevez’s hero-librarians vanity project The Public never manages to shake a vague feeling of being something slightly quaint left over from the 1990s. Estevez, in a role perhaps intended to reference the actor’s iconic turn as a cool school library detainee in The Breakfast Club, appears as an idealistic but hardship-weathered employee of...
If you like biblical epics like the 10 commandments, then look no further than Noah.
As a Christian, the new testament is the most relevant part of the bible to me. After all, several biblical figures such as Paul and Jesus himself made it clear that this was a new covenant that was going down a different route than the old Hebrew scripture. The laws outlined in Leviticus and Deuteronomy were pretty...
Amazing film! Well written. Lovable characters. Lots of foreshadowing. Intentional homages (in editing and lighting) to old Middle Eastern adventure type movies. Great feelings all around. And the main girl was independent but perfect! Minor feminist undertones, one could argue. But she was a librarian who used her skills in this area to be useful. She was brave, but also scared at times and let the...
