Wow, what an acid trip. The film ( if you can call it that )
Hundreds of Beavers by
Mike Cheslik starring
Ryland Tews and
Olivia Graves is one of the coolest drug-less high moments of comedy cinema. It feels just coherent enough to be called a movie, and just crazy enough to be considered a 2 hour long low budget YouTube sketch.
Let me set the stage for you. Black and white ( like not even a single frame of color ). Shot partially on location somewhere in the forest, while the rest ( or more like, the majority ) is shot on a green screen, with the most unrealistic digital effects possible, which border on animation more than VFX. A silent film about a man struggling to survive in the forest. While all the animals in said forest are played by humans in very bad, cheap, mass produced, costumes that they bought from some website somewhere. And yet with all that a film which deserves its critical acclaim and its 97% Rotten Tomatoes score with every frame.
The film opens up with an explosion of insanity. We get such mixture of visual styles. Such intensity in motion. Such exaggeration, that it prepares the audience for the rest of the film. Even though the rest of the film is not as insane as the opening. Right from the start Cheslik mixes a live-action human with a totally animated world. A motif that will not stop till the very end. The movie basically asks "what style do you want?" and it answers "yes".
If you want something insane but good. I highly recommend this modern cinematic art masterpiece.
Happy Hacking!!!

Crimson Tide 1995 is a stupidly smart movie

Before
Jerry Bruckheimer was obsessed with telling all his directors to be like
Michael Bay and before
Don Simpson had passed away. The duo of Simpson and Bruckheimer were obsessed with
Tony Scott, the director of such classics as
Top Gun,
Days of Thunder and
Enemy of the State ( which coincidentally were all produced by Jerry and Don, apart from the last film, which was produced after Don's passing ). But Tony Scott didn't only work with the duo. For example in 1993 he made a film not produced by Jerry and Don called
True Romance from a screenplay of
Quentin Tarantino. Which makes
Crimson Tide the second collaboration of the two
