Ensemble cast trade snarky remarks amongst themselves, and there’s a giant crocodile in the lake somewhere.
-
What can you say about a Charlie Kaufman script?
-
Aren’t air traffic controllers wacky?
-
Alternates between horror and comedy. Should have made up their mind and cut in the horror bits.
-
Probably Scorsese’s finest.
-
Surprisingly introspective plot about oil pipelines in Asia Minor countries.
-
Actually pretty funny. The basic plot is good enough, but the script is tight and very well acted. A joy to watch.
-
Polanski’s Eyes Wide Shut. Just an excuse to see his wife naked, yuck!
-
Remember, it’s written like that: capital X, capital Z. eXistenZ. It’s new, it’s from Cronenberg, and it is here.
-
The grand-daddy of all found footage films. Squeezes emotional blood out of stones, creeks and tree trunks.
-
One of those alleged faithful recreation betrayed by amateurish production values. There’s way too many boom mics appearing on the shot.
-
What a fucking mess, Jarhead mixed with Transformers. It zigzags between “serious” piece of American propaganda on the first Gulf war, and a regular action flick with shit blowing up and people firing guns behind their back.
-
VR Porn leads to an old man’s death, since his climax led to clarity about the system of the world. World on a Wireless Headset.
-
That’s fucked up. Slow burner, preps you you 90 minutes of romcom, for a final segway into trademark Takeshi Miike madness. The ending is very much anti-climatic.
-
What a goddamn mess. A 90’s The Exorcist, radical and shit. Hideous in every way. It just ends, no payoff for our suffering girl. Just a stroll in a garden.
-
This is a more romantic twist on Back to the Future, just another excuse to have the good old 40’s and 50’s back in the spotlight. At least the theme park version.
-
Now that’s pod racing!
-
What a great gem. Thematically extreme, but touches so many facets of human nature, it’s almost blissful. He who fights monsters…
-
A very progressive take on the whole homosexual closeted gay situation, wrapped in a very mainstream romantic comedy. Ironically, the woman are not very well treated here, for runtime reasons I think.
