Jewish filmmakers like to poke fun at Nazis.
Spielberg did that with
Indiana Jones and
Mel Brooks does it here with
Spaceballs. But unlike the original
Star Wars for which
Spaceballs is almost direct parody, Brooks goes onto another level to measure pipis with the Nazis.

Transformers 4 is a ballsy brave film

So here is a movie from
Paramount Pictures that was executive produced by
Steven Spielberg with
Stanley Tucci playing a villain and
Mark Wahlberg playing a dad of a teenage girl. The movie touches on very hard emotional topics of sexual abuse and age discrimination. And
Peter Jackson does a very good job... Oh... wait... it's not
The Lovely Bones... ah... yeah... so...
Transformers: Age of Extinction!!!

I decided to re-watch the first
Transformers film today, but differently. Instead of indulging in it as mindless entertainment, I decided I want to actually view it seriously, as I would with somebody like
Steven Spielberg, who, by the way, was an executive producer on the film.

Alien: Romulus is too good to be scary

The film suffers from the same problem something like
War Of The Worlds by
Steven Spielberg suffers from. It is too good for its own good. You have so much dopamine from the good stuff that it overshadows any Norepinephrine from the scary stuff.

Have you ever wondered what would
Alfred Hitchcock do in the age of CGI and VFX? What kind of strange insane shorts he would come up with? Well
Robert Zemeckis set out for himself a challenge to find out. He is notorious for using visual effects creatively. A lot of people might be familiar with the mirror shot he did in the film Contact. So something like trying to make a Hitchcockian thriller of the 21st century was just about the right kind of thing for Zemeckis.

Die Hard is a phenomenal showcase of filmmaking talent

Somehow, for all these years I avoided the first ever
Die Hard movie, even though I had watched the sequels. And even though the sequels are varying in quality, the first film is a fucking masterpiece.

I was avoiding
Nope for a few reasons. One of them was because people kept saying that it is very disturbing. It has a scene which I thought was to traumatize me. Now that I actually saw the film I can tell you that
Jordan Peele, the director of
Nope is not
Lars Von Trier and therefor the scene is not actually that bad. To be quite frank, it seems like shooting that scene the way Lars Von Trier would have done it probably goes against the message of the movie.
Lethal Weapon is what happens when a good screenwriter writes his first script

Directed by
Richard Donner (
Superman,
The Goonies ) from a script of
Shane Black,
Lethal Weapon is a film about cops. On the surface there is no concept to the movie what so ever. It is just simply a regular, straight forward police bromance. Yet somehow the movie moves.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is another
David F. Sandberg film that has an issue with it's opening. I just reviewed his film
Until Dawn and if you can survive the not so good dialogue of the first couple of scenes, you are in for a very good movie. This film has a similar issue.

I don't know if you know but

Silly-PΓ©lissier LΓ©o even
presented a talk about this.

Gareth Edwards is a type of writer / director that I can relate to. I remember watching the Star Wars movie that he directed
Rogue One back when it came out and feeling like I know what this guy is doing. Like I myself want to be that guy. Back in 2016 ( when Rogue One came out ) I still didn't quite give up the
Wrong Hate project and what he showed was the stuff that I was aiming for.

It's interesting sometimes what different artists do with the same material when this material is not bound by copyright. Good filmmakers like
Kenneth Branagh can make wonderful adaptation of things like plays by Shakespeare into insane epics. Bad filmmakers like
Rhys Frake-Waterfield can make awful twists on beloved characters, like the horror film
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.

If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like Hot Fuzz. Don't! If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Don't! If you expect Baby Driver to be anything like Last Night In Soho. Don't! The director of Baby Driver,
Edgar Wright set for himself a challenge to make every next movie he does in a different genre. Therefor you get absolutely different effects from his movies. Even though there are obvious Edgar Wright tropes in every one of his movies.
