In
James Cameron's
Avatar humans are attacking the forests of Pandora, bulldozing and killing indigenous population of the planet, to get to the natural resources their tribes are sitting at. The military is literally playing a role of guards, for the bulldozers, because the indigenous have become sort of very upset with humans, that terrorize their land. This is sort the plot of
Eli Roth's horror film
The Green Inferno, just Roth makes it way way more viscerally.

The Rock 1996 is Michael Bay's James Bond movie

The Rock by
Michael Bay is about an FBI chemist agent (
Nicolas Cage ) who calls for help from an old retired British Intelligence Agent played by
Sean Connery himself. No wander there are theories that this agent character could be James Bond, making this film a kind of unofficial Bayhem!ed sequel to Connery Bond films. It's not like he didn't play James Bond outside of the main franchise. He did play James Bond in
Never Say Never Again which is a real James Bond film, which is not a part of the main franchise. So maybe, possibly, he did that again here too. We will never know.

In my review of
She Rides Shotgun I briefly commented on the performance of
Taron Egerton who you may know from the 2014 British Spy film
Kingsman: The Secret Service by
Matthew Vaughn. Today I gonna present to you a sort of half assed theory about how
Kingsman happened due to a different Matthew Vaughn picture: 2004
Layer Cake. And alternatively how Tarantino brought to us the
Daniel Craig era of
James Bond.

Let's get this out of the way:
Guillermo del Toro knows how to make a movie. The man is a fucking genius. And yet it seems apart from just being technically proficient, he is also a master of making
corruption of the audience emotionally satisfying. Let me explain.

Edgar Wright with his 2017 film
Baby Driver shows that he can make some awesome clean action if he wants to. And yet watching his 2007 film
Hot Fuzz you feel like something isn't quite
wright. The camera is too shaky and the editing is too quick. Is he trying to "hide something"? No! He simply imitates
Michael Bay, that's all.

A lot of people are big fans of the

Mission: Impossible series. A lot of more sophisticated movie goers prefer the more serious first picture directed by
Brian De Palma. Some are the fans of the
Brad Bird and
J. J. Abrams installments. But almost everybody unanimously loves to hate on the
John Woo second film
Mission: Impossible 2. I frankly, don't get it.

There are quite some differences between the Scott brothers ( Ridley and Tony ) and the Maximus himself
Michael Bay. You can read
Troler's observations and then my rant in the comments to see why they aren't quite the same. But specifically
Tony Scott films sometimes feels almost like Michael Bay movies. Especially early Tony Scott and early Michael Bay, before both of them knew how similar they are and before they started trying to develop each other into opposite directions. Which happened roughly in time with the 21st century. And yet with all this the
Ridley Scott epic
Gladiator which was shot at 20st century and released at 21st, bluntly steals one of the shots Michael Bay is known for.

Kristoffer Borgli's 2023 film
Dream Scenario starring
Nicolas Cage is a movie about a man, who is being dreamed about by a lot of people. At first his family have weird dreams about him. Then people related to them. Then the whole world. At first the dreams make him famous. But then they take a turn for the worst. At first he is just doing nothing in those dreams. Then he is being a creep. And then he literally murders people in those dreams. Which makes the public, in the real life, react to him with greater and greater rivalry. Apart from, for some reason, people in France.

Death Wish 2018 has a low rating due to politics

17% Rotten Tomatoes score. The movie got to be shit, right? Well when it comes to the
Eli Roth's 2018
Death Wish ( the remake of
the 1974 film with the same name ) you are not quite correct. In my estimate the film should be no less than 60%, based on its execution. Eli Roth is a good enough director to pull something like this off. And you can see that he is trying. The actors are also good. And the music by
Ludwig GΓΆransson is really fucking good. I mean this is the same guy who did the music for
Tenet and
Oppenheimer. He is really fucking good. Watching the movie, I saw that the movie is arguably a lot more watchable and a lot more satisfying than the 1974 original. What is different, is that the 1974 original was made in 1974. And since then the politics have changed.

Tony Scott appeared to be trying to outgrow
Michael Bay in the 2000s. In 2001 he does
Spy Game which is a kind of slightly bayhem-ish movie. Where Tony Scott is no longer trying to make pretty pictures, but is trying to go for ultimate intensity. His
Enemy of the State before that, is still more of a classic Tony Scott. While making
Spy Game his brother
Ridley Scott was making
Black Hawk Down while Michael Bay was making
Pearl Harbor. While
Pearl Harbor has the Bay's explosions and stuff, the colors of the film still look relatively normal. Only his next film ( 2003
Bay Boys II ) go crazy with colors.
Spy Game, while being more energetic in directing and editing department, than even
Enemy of the State still looks like a normal movie, albeit it is a little desaturated. But
Black Hawk Down ( probably in attempt of messing with
Spielberg's
Saving Private Ryan ) is super moody, with extreme contrast and intense colors. A thing that Michael Bay tries to replicate right away for
Bad Boys II and then Tony Scott also replicated for
Man on Fire in 2004. And then on
Domino in 2005, Tony Scott goes even harder with the style. While Bay is doing roughly the same thing in his own way in
The Island.

Nicolas Winding Refn seems to be making only cult-classics. His 2011
Drive was a moderate box office success. But a banger of a cult-classic later on, as people understood that it is not a mere action film. Then he made
Only God Forgives. A strange psycho-sexual movie where the plot lives in the crack-space between reality and dream-land. The film got misunderstood and barely made its money back. Yet those people who like it, like it very much. And then he made a straight box-office disaster
The Neon Demon that made only half of its ( rather small $7.5 million ) budget back. Yet it is seems like it's the kind of movie that just begs for a deep analysis.

Why Hitchock's "Family Plot" 1976 is so kosher?

Alfred Hitchcock is known to be a hell of a filmmaker at the time of
the code. When everybody were required to be kosher, Hitch found every loophole in the rule book to get us exciting stuff. He was able to make sexy and violent psycho-sexual thrillers when sex and violence were not allowed. His final film, 1976
Family Plot was already shot during the MPAA rating system. Other filmmakers like
Brian De Palma took the thrown the master of the macabre. So what does Hitch do? He does the safest, most PG movie of his career.

The 1970s are an interesting time when it comes to cinema history. It is the time after
the code was changed into the MPAA rating system ( allowing more violence, nudity and harsh language on the screen ) and yet before new blog-baster Hollywood was born. 1976's
Carrie by
Brian De Palma was already released after the 1974
Steven Spielberg sensation
Jaws. But still before
George Lucas broke the planet with his
Star Wars. Everybody knew the movies were intense at that time. Some of the most depressing shit came out at the 1970s. And with it, there was also
Carrie. A psycho-sexual revenge-tale about child-abuse.
