There are two kinds of bad movies. First type are made to be terrible on purpose, think of Evil Dead 2 by Sam Raimi. Second are those where the director just did not care, think of The Last Airbender by M. Night Shyamalan.

This is why I'm going to speak about the Nuclear Power Plant of V. I. Lenin 2019 historical drama television miniseries called Chernobyl. But It'll be done differently. There'll be no description of how the screenplay was adapted, only the plot and script itself.

There was this campaign carried out in 1994 on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). The author alerted of its rusting, corrosive, and acidic properties. He urged people to support the bill for outlawing it.

Suppose you live in a war torn country, where there are military stops in every major road. The economy is in shambles and there's a smell of gunpowder in the air. The people go to watch low budget produced films and are most valued in the global market for the cheap labor.

[icon reviews]What "Zero Motivation" tell us about the self-awareness of the IDF?

Due to the renewed interest of the public in the conflict at the middle east, some filmmakers tried pushing and pulling a political pendulum when it comes to accepting / boycotting Israeli film-makers. It is known that film-makers ( being in the art of empathy ) usually tend to be on a progressive side. That makes a concept of an "Israeli filmmaker" a rather strange thing to fathom. But since we see filmmakers from far more restrictive parts of the middle-east find ways to speak their true minds about complex topics, despite heavy censorship, there is no shortage of progressive Israeli films. One of them Zero Motivation ( א׀ב Χ‘Χ™Χ—Χ‘Χ™ אנוש ), a tale about IDF itself, has some rather interesting points. No... Not the ones you might expect.

[icon reviews]The Odyssey to see The Odyssey (2026)

As it is, the movie is infused with Nolan realism. Everything is serious and grim. The contrast between mythological events and reality creates this clash. I have not seen Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, so I cannot tell how much of this juxtaposition has existed before. Still, the contrast of what I saw on screen and how the movie portrayed such events, threw me off the loop.

[icon reviews]Why Christopher Nolan and why The Odyssey???

On the surface it seems like The Odyssey is a vanity project. Like if Christopher Nolan after getting an Oscar for Oppenheimer ( which I still didn't review for some stupid reason ), decided that he is big enough, of a filmmaker, to take on a project of epic proportions, or something. Like he can tell Homer himself, how to properly tell a story, or whatever. But then you watch the movie.

The video shook me up, like no other video on AI had. Since it handled the problem at its root, at what reality this AI was: radical opposition to despair of enforcement. It tackles the problem of having a select few channels of information, providing only limited subset of what may be of specific interest to one, by providing only questions.

[icon reviews]Lunatics! Episode 1 has dropped. And I have thoughts!!!

Lunatics! is a Open-Movie project by Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock. I was following their socials ( mainly their Peertube account ) for quite some time now. And today, about an hour ago they released an unfinished version of episode one. Why does it matter? Well, they are working on it, if I understand correctly, since 2003, ( based on this video ). This unfinished episode is, therefor, 23 years in the making. My Moria's Race short-film with its 3.5 years is nothing in comparison.

There's a lot of explosions, a plentiful amount of destruction, a grand amount of military, both in the air, on the ground and in the water. All the things you could ask for. And the Toho miniatures are incredibly detailed, as always. The scrupulous effort put into constructing them, to just be destroyed for a single shot never ceases to amaze me.

Watching the trailer of Markiplier's Iron Lung movie made a certain type of impression on me. The movie is obviously low budget. The set looks hilarious ( outside of the context or the source material ). And shot choices look rather amateurish. Watching Iron Lung itself, on the other hand, makes me believe that Mark Fischbach ( Markiplier ), the writer and director of this movie, had a cinematic Ace up his sleeve. And he was just playing the long game.

Few films come close to the shier amount of WTF moments as the 1984 W. D. Richter film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. The best way to describe this film is "WTF". Let me explain.

The movie is not told by walking to various unreliable witnesses. The second protagonist, Dr. Eileen Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) just gets the pieces of the visions, as if this was some sort of Edgar Wright film.

Instead of an action roller-coaster, the film provides a Sci-Fi political story with a 3 headed Ghidorah. As is the case with previous installments, the costumes were repurposed, just changed to fit the slightly different aesthetic.
