-
A gripping tale of a feral ecoterrorist raised by wolves that discover what you hu-mans call “emotions”.
-
A Trojan horse. A tragedy. They lost their marbles. All-the-gory caved in. The best part: none. Ironically, one of the worst classics.
-
Yet another horror film about man-sized bugs with humanoid faces eating people.
-
High concept horror film without a budget. Focuses on the dynamics between characters. Blows Saw off the water.
-
A supreme being. Perfect.
-
Painfully unfunny.
-
The one with the Will Smith hip-hop song over the credits.
-
Old school film noir about corrupt cops in Los Angeles (as the name implies). A bit too clean for my taste. Nearly as good as Chinatown.
-
The one with Michelle Yeoh. Vincent Price is Rupert Murdoch on steroids. Hired Ricky Jay to hack “SSL2 with 128 bits” links or something.
-
Fucking hell, what a fucker the main character is. Fucks around so much he is dumped by all woman he dates and/or marries. The dipshit will bed everything that moves.
-
The distillation of all fame-related works mixed with a psycho-thriller, and there’s even time for a story within a story.
-
Complete and utter dross. Main Plot points are launched and abandoned from the start, alleged romance happens.
-
Dayuum, ‘em popos be trippin’ after this OJ shit. This is a very funny buddy cop film without cops, but Chris Tucker overshadows everyone, always, and in every single scene. It’s his thing.
-
Fuggedaboutit. This is a semi-standard mobster film, but with a funnier script and massively talented cast.
-
Starts of funny and lighthearted, ups the ante several times into ridiculousness, then the ugliness is apparent. It can’t decide if it’s serious or a farce.
-
OH GOD THE PUNS! Cold comfort knowing they are delivered by Arnie. Uma Thurman also has plenty of plant-based puns too, leaf her alone! The zoom into the BatButt is literally the first scene.
-
Total Recall as morality tale thriller. Once again, Fincher steals from the best, like a true artist.
-
Come on maggots, you want to live forever?
-
It’s David Lynch all right, completely inscrutable. Explanations are futile, only questions remain.
-
In space, no one can hear you mix body horror with a lot of other cinematic references in a fast paced action film. A great film all around.
-
This is a very straightforward and simple story, with not many flourishes, twists and turns. It’s a purely cerebral experience, even the noir element is subdued. It’s first and foremost an anti-eugenics treatise.
-
King Kong meets Apocalypse Now. A group of city dwellers go on a trip to the Amazonian Jungle to film uncontacted tribes.
-
The same blueprint as Aliens, the sequel is a balls-to-the-wall action film with little girls in critical roles. Some of the Jurassic World plot bullshit is already present here!
