3.1 Stars Perfect Days is a film that tries to make you feel how mundane and consistent a Tokyo janitor's day to day routines are. After you have been lulled into a pleasant boredom from seeing the focus character of the film trim his mustache, select a cassette tape to listen to on his commute, and scrub a toilet a couple times, the relatively minor surprises and anomalies to his structured days...
It's just barely passable as a dumb action movie if you want to turn you're brain off. Seeing McGregor as a crazy leprechaun of chaos and psychopathic mirror to the sociopathic MC is great fun. But otherwise it sucks ass. The fight scenes were mostly a let down. Too ungrounded and silly. Based on the poster, I was expecting at least a few great fight scenes between Gyllenhaal and McGregor, but there...
3 Stars Rogue City adds nothing new or good to the story and lore of Robocop. The narrative of the main questline is generic, and the less you think about it while playing the game, the better. What really dissapointed me was the lack of humor or any good comedic timing that endeared me to the first film. The main gameplay is combat, which mainly means you will be holding down the fire button, punching...
3.7 Stars A period piece with a very narrow narrative focus. It chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of one man. Quick fortune and Misfortune come readily to Barry Lyndon, who's character quickly goes from a naive young man to a life long gambling opportunist. A narrator which is present throughout the film will remark that Barry has changed after some portion of his life, but Barry rarely shows...
Not very woke, but not a good story. Ultimately a waste of time. The mystery premise that hooks you in the first few episodes is never delivered on in a satisfying way. When it is unraveled, it comes too fast, has too many "just so" things that broke my suspension of disbelief, and was just kind of lame. The whole metaphor of the story is about if people can ever change, become "new people" and be...
Only gets a high rating because the visuals are pretty good overall and occasionally stunning, and the bene gesserit plot line is a perfect match for the jews: a hidden cabal within an exclusive religion, the leaders of which know that magic (whether real or merely "word magic"/propaganda) is the real determinant of how the world changes. This is such an important metaphor to get people to understand...
2.9 Stars Killers of The Flower Moon is like many of Scorsese's previous long films, but every beat and rythem is more shallow and delayed. Robert De Niro's mastermind of a character is even labeled as a Jew for his actions by another character much like Casino. The first half of the film is painfully drawn out while the second half, which is far more interesting due characters having external conflict...
good stuff so far, lives up to the hype
The game features good game mechanics, but the story is completely cringe both in how the robots are programmed, the retarded underlying philosophical thinking, and also in how the story develops overall. For example (minor spoiler), one way in which the robots are saved is by singing a song in the ending. Yes, once humanity hears robots sing in a choir, we all loose are balls and agree to emancipate...
Quite dull game since it is more like watching a below average movie. There is no significant gaming challenge, and the game is too linear. Moreover, even though the characters are mostly European Fables, the main characters are feminists, including other marxist themes in the plot
The 30-year old boomer masterpiece! We all loved Half-life as kids, and this is a great facelift of this old classic
The movie is quite fun for an evening if you want something thoughtless, but the ending is completely stupid so it's likely to disappoint you. Please note that there is also a Marxist class perspective in the plot, culminating with violence
I'm surprised this got the green light from Hollywood. They portray neo nazis as sympathetic characters. The whole point of the movie is to sell you on prison reform and to show that we are all one bad day away. The messaging is almost too in your face so I debated giving it 4/5 stars but I was just too impressed. I think because it's a new movie and I assumed it would be yet another cartoon villain...
2.7 Stars 2 hour 30 minute investigative examination of a death by fall that pulls the viewer along the runtime with the possibility of foul play. Anatomy of a Fall has no style, save for a journalistic representation of events and facts. Every sequence is played out using the most dialog possibly, no brevity or variation to be found in any of the scenes. Its the type of film you could describe to...
They must have seen how popular the Street Fighter parody was in "City Hunter" which came out 6 months prior, and decided to make an entire movie out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIxETAx_61M "City Hunter" is less chaotic because of the bigger budget. But when "Future Cops" tries to have characters fly around like a video game it's sometimes hard to follow what the hell they're trying to...
3.2 Stars A Hong Kong made bootleg Street Fighter film that is completely detacted from any sort of source material. Future Cops goes its own way and in many different directions from the start. There are janky low budget animesque fights, slapstick humor in a highschool slice of life setting, and a music number. It takes liberties from not only Street Fighter, but Mario and Dragonball as well. Future...
Adam Sandler is slowly reaching the age of retirement and thinking over his life, realizes he does not want to be remembered as a terrible comedy actor of poopee humor, so he becomes the actor in a film, that offers some vague themes on redemption, inner-exploration and the beyond. Do you think I got that right? Yeah, overall this film is not that bad. fairly light on the pozz, with the most offensive...
The film looks wonderful, Denis Villeneuve is a wonderful visual filmmaker. However, for fans of the books this is a feminist, woke insult to the source material on the level of "rings of power". Novel Fremen are a fiercely patriarchal, warrior culture Herbert based on the Muslims of the middle east. In the movie they become feminist communists/hippies. Book Chani is a beautiful, supportive, understanding...
3.3 Stars The Starship Troopers film is a pretty solid sci-fi action flick. The CGI has not aged the best and characters are a bit corny, but it pulls through with good casting and sudden impactful scenes. The film could have been far better if it mirrored the book closer. The lack of mechanized combat suits for the Mobile Infantry really disappointed me in the film version. Characters, especially...
too many slow, unnecessary scenes with ugly one-grimace brown girl, females are litteraly future viewing manipulators playing everyone like chess while men are either psychopaths or fanatics or presented as idiots. more than 20 soldiers/people 99%=cgi
