The gorefest the series is known about.
-
Here’s an obscure film that shouldn’t embarrass whoever participated on it.
-
Even though the premise is interesting and features womanwolves, which I think it’s a first, not worth it to take everything around it. Even if the werewolf flips the bird at the protagonist.
-
Another superhero film with a script that fits in a single page.
-
Psycho thriller, Qu’est-ce que c’est? Na na na na na na na na not bad at all.
-
More than just gay cowboys.
-
Four kids, for kids, forked ids.
-
Mainstream Gilliam is a mishmash of watchable-by-muggles and just too damn weird.
-
Stylish take on the insanity POV genre. This film is a visual masterpiece. The range of camera trickery and editing skill is staggering.
-
A morsel of cinematic candy lacking only a less artificial setting. The overt commercialisation of an “Anarchos Productions Ltd” is also ironic, the system can assimilate anything, neo-liberalism is really the Borg of political ideologies.
-
Less transporting gets done since the last time.
-
Uncharted: Matt’s Deception. The reason why there’s no Uncharted film (yet) is because this exists.
-
Yes, this is a run of the mill 90’s anti-hero, with mild The Exorcist flavour. But I still love it, Holy Wars have never been so snarky.
-
A classic British tale: working class hero with dough from his job battles a penniless upper class twit for the “melons” of a girl. Many-a cheese types are consumed.
-
How to spin nothingness into a far-right nativist rallying cry against foreigners, courtesy of a pliant press on a summer weekend.
-
A touching family story, with extra murders. Nanny McPhee or Miss Marple or Mary Poppins as murderesses.
-
This seems like one of those roman-à-clef, based on an old spook’s memoirs.
-
Wait a minute, I saw a variation on this film already, it was called Deception. And it was right around the same time too. Miramax and R ratings, I can’t unsee jacking off into potted plants.
-
Ahh, the “good” old times, where a romcom about PUA was not a cancellable offence. This could be remade with the same script, but turning Will Smith’s character into an Andrew Tate-loving incel. Or have woman involved in the creative process at all.
-
Pure, hardcore drama, mixing true soulmates and evil bureaucrats sub-sub-sub-contracting death squads on activists writing reports. True love can unite a career foreign office drone with a passion for gardening, and another richer activist/journalist with a knack for pissing off powerful people.
-
I hate this work. This kind of self-referential story, Hollywood talking about itself, replacing actors for trite purposes. A giant cast of talent doing nothingness. At least Seinfeld was funny.
-
Of all the suspension of disbelief, nothing beats Tom Cruise as the blue collar worker that kills the prepper. He would be the first Trump supporter.
-
Erin Brokovich with more English actors. I’m afraid of reading more about the case and discover they were all mistreated even more, or that the lawyers hoovered up all the money. I’ll be pissed if they made up the whole thing.
-
An anthology of smaller stories. Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax logo means immediate shudders at the amount of nudity. God, it retroactively ruins so many films.
-
No, Lucas, noooo! The retcons, oh the humanity.
-
I’m Batman! This is particularly lighthearted and funny, compared to the rest of the series, it retains just a little bit of the camp nature of previous adaptations.
-
A childish The Matrix/I, Robot, directed by Michael Bay. Who the fuck wrote this, a 15 year old teenage boy? checks Oh, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, yikes! At least in the grimdark future, you can ride a public maglev from Arizona to LA, thanks Elon!
