The accidental Bonnie and Clyde, except complete cretins. Reaches Nathan Barley levels of idiocy.
-
Contrived coincidences cannot create cockups. Consequences cleanly cutoff.
-
Polanski’s Eyes Wide Shut. Just an excuse to see his wife naked, yuck!
-
The men with a name that drags a coffin around.
-
A story that warps around itself so much, it exists on a vacuum. The best metaphor are those Teletubbies pink sludge bowls.
-
Simplicity is when you remove all unnecessary features, you get this. A film that’s all meat, no fat.
-
Stratospheric cast does an adaptation while Agatha Christie was still alive! Goddamn brilliant.
-
Flash Gordon meets Braindead, but not as developed as any of those.
-
Remake in name only. This has more in common with mother! and Black Swan.
-
This is what passes for a soft Wes Anderson film. Not something profoundly sad as The Royal Tenenbaums, a fun romp, visually and orally bliss.
-
Classic Russian Roulette sports film, with a backstory related to the effects of ‘Nam on a rust belt small town. Can be read as both “rah rah ‘murica, evil Vietcong” and “war is hell”.
-
In this “fake” single-shot film, the fascist is never seen up close, only the victims matter. Fuck fascists, you will not replace us.
