Critics gave negative reviews to 2004
Tony Scott's film
Man on Fire because of "grim story that gets harder to take the longer it goes on". Are you fucking serious? How then
Lars Von Trier movies get good reviews? Something isn't quite right here. To be frank, the film is very ultra-cinematic. Which could rub some critics the wrong way. Scott doesn't just direct the shit out of it. He also edits the shit out of it. Making one of the coolest directed films in existence. Which if you think about it, isn't particularly what critics find as a serious picture. And yes, the film is grim. At times it feel like a horror film. Not just a thriller. But the film is a rather satisfactory experience.

In the summer of 2025
Sydney Sweeney made a controversial, seemingly Nazi-propaganda advertisement for a Jeans brand that claims that she "has great Jeans" ( which is a pun for "genes" ). Being a blue-eyed sexy blond woman, made the "genes" pun quickly interpreted as a endorsement of eugenics. And a lot of people on the conservative side equated her "huge tits" to the "death of wokeness". While people on the left decided to attribute her success with her sex appeal, almost accusing Sweeney with sleeping with executives, to become famous. And yet despite all this,
Ron Howard's 2024 thriller
Eden ( which is starring Sweeney ) has
Ana de Armas at a role of this super-hot lady that sleeps with men to get what she wants.

The Taking of Pelham 123 ( 2009 ) is Tony Scott continuing to mess with Michael Bay

Tony Scott's 2009 film
The Taking of Pelham 123 is a remake of a 1998 TV movie with same name, which is a remake of a 1974 movie with the same name, which is an adaptation of a 1973 book, with the same name. Strangely enough, apart from
Denzel Washington playing the hero and
John Travolta playing the villain, the film also prominently shows
John Turturro and
RamΓ³n RodrΓguez which, the same year, also appeared in a
Michael Bay film
Transformens 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

If today we have a lot of films to choose from when we want to shock ourselves beyond believe: from barely serious, yet distrusting films by
Eli Roth through intense hyper-violence by
Coralie Fargeat or depressing looks at the world by
Lars Von Trier all the way to deranged films like
The Serbian Film, in 1970s you had probably only one true contender for such a level of derangeness. And it was the
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

47th Academy Awards from 1975 ( giving awards to movies from 1974 ) was an interesting spectacle.
Francis Ford Coppola's film
The Conversation ( which was nominated for
Best Picture ) lost to
The Godfather Part II also by Francis Ford Coppola. In 1981
Brian De Palma, one of the people who hanged out with Francis at the time, decided to remake a 1966 Italian film
Blowup, but doing it like Coppola's
The Conversation. Where sound plays a critical role in the plot of the picture.

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
Christopher McQuarrie movies in 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.

Gladiator 2000 is Ridley Scott's turn at mimicking Michael Bay

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.
