The Island 2005 is Michael Bay's Minority Report

As far as my speculation goes, I think, it is safe to assume, the following happened: In 1994 ( before doing
Bad Boys )
Michael Bay signed a 10 year contract with
Jerry Bruckheimer which expired in 2004 ( after
Bad Boys 2 ). Knowing that the contract is about to expire, 2 years prior ( in 2002 )
Steven Spielberg, in an attempt to get on good terms with Michael Bay, added a small reference to Bad Boys into his film
Minority Report. And then took Bay under his supervision for the next 10 years. Starting with the 2005 film
The Island. And through the
Transformers franchise. Bay returned the favor by showing a concept car designed for
Minority Report ( Lexus 2054 aka Lexus Minority ) multiple times in the background of
The Island. Still that's just a theory. I don't actually know what happened. But it seems plausible.

I saw an interview where
Quentin Tarantino praises the 1980 Hitchcockian
Bryan de Palma film
Dressed to Kill. And now after actually watching it myself, I can totally understand why.

Wrath of Man is why I love Guy Ritchie

Wrath of Man is one of such, very Guy Ritchie, very crime trillery, very
Quentin Tarantino- inspired films. It has just enough cold detachment, just enough calculated precision and just enough artful pathos to make you feel the false-psychopathy of the main character played by
Jason Statham.

Man on Fire 2004 is Tony Scott's Leon: The Professional

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.

What is it with
Jerry Bruckheimer of the late 90s and early 2000s and with
Nicolas Cage? First in 96 we get
Michael Bay's
The Rock. A year later in 97 Jerry puts Cage in
Simon West's
Con Air. And then in 2000
Dominic Sena under the supervision of Bruckheimer puts Nicolas out of his Cage and into a driver's seat of 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, in the subject of this review, the loose remake of
H. B. Halicki 1974 film
Gone in 60 Seconds.

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.

Machete Kills 2013 is trying to beat Spaceballs

As I observed 2 hours ago in my
review of Machete, the first film is about US politics of 2025. The second movie
Machete Kills is something else entirely. If the first film is a semi-parody of exploitation films. This one is a full on spoof comedy, parodying not just exploitation films, but other things too. By the end of the film, the bullshit is so absurd, that you cannot stop laughing. And then
Elon Musk appears out of nowhere to send
Machete into space.

Watching the
Nicolas Cage and
Jerry Bruckheimer remake made me extremely curious to see the original
Gone in 60 Seconds. And let me tell you that, the film is impressive when it comes to the shier production value
H. B. Halicki ( writer, producer, director and star ) put into this film. But on the other hand the film is very hard to follow.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
