Blender DumbassIf you never was in post Soviet country in 2008 you don't know how much of a big deal this movie was. For Americans, I suppose, it was just another action film. For anybody who speaks Russian it was a miracle.
Predator: Killer of Killers knows how to do a lot with very little

Blender DumbassIt seems like the movie Trachtenberg was going for here was way too risky and way too ambitious for a studio to green-light it normally. But if he can do that on a fraction of budget. As animation. And not a budget, something like Pixar uses for their ultra-realistic stuff and fluent motion. But on a fraction of that. He can use the trend of animating on-twos and making everything painterly, to cut all of the corners necessary to make this insane movie with the small amount of money that he is given.
Director of Nosferatu ( 2024 ) needs to calm down with the Von Trierian technique or I will not trust him anymore

Blender DumbassAs pointed out by @Troler in his review of the original Nosferatu since 1922 a lot has changed. 102 years since that movie Robert Eggers delivers a modern take on the same story.
Nosferatu (1922) Is Not Scary

TrolerHorror and thrillers seem to be quite ubiquitous in recent times. Nosferatu, a classic from 1920s cinema, has spawned a lot of recreations, making it modern. Yet they fail to see Nosferatu is not horror... at least not in the way the term is usually used.
Final Destination ( 2000 ) is a suprisingly well directed movie
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Final_Destination_movie.jpg)
Blender DumbassThere is this hype wave over the Final Destination franchise because of a new movie that was released in the series. At first I resisted it, but then I saw a few shots from the opening of the first film, directed by James Wong and thought that it was actually something good, that at least worth my attention.

TrolerSoviet Union has collapsed, but the legacy of it remains. Like feces left by a dog, it hated, despised, but a natural coarse of nature. Some directors know how to portray that dumb in a very entertaining and humorous matter.
Mickey 17 Is Painfully Obvious with the References
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/Mickey_17_film_poster.png)
Blender DumbassIn my opinion the gimmick on which the film was sold is not the main point. It's not even why the film was made in the first place.

Odysee | How Did I Survive The Moria's Race Project?

Blender DumbassThe story of me making Moria's Race.
Enemy of the State 1998 is very relevant for today
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b2/Enemy_of_the_State_%28film%29_poster_art.jpg/220px-Enemy_of_the_State_%28film%29_poster_art.jpg)
Blender DumbassThe passing of Gene Hackman made me interested in the actor again, and then I saw that he made a movie with Tony Scott, from Jerry Bruckheimer about surveillance. Recent fascination of mine with Michael Bay and stuff related to him, like the fact that a lot of the style of Bay came almost directly from Tony Scott. And the fact that Bay worked with Bruckheimer in the time this movie was released. And the fact that the star of Bad Boys Will Smith is the star of Enemy of the State. All of that made it inevitable that I should check the movie out.
Melancholia is the best Science Fiction Film Ever

Blender DumbassI don't think you think of Science Fiction often when thinking about Lars Von Trier. Yet, his 2011 masterpiece Melancholia is one of, if not the best, science fiction film(s) ever.
Buzzy Lee - Strange Town is a Music Video we need more of
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/strange_town.jpg)
Blender DumbassIt is strange to review a music video, but Buzzy Lee's masterpiece Strange Town deserves some praise. I think Buzzy Lee, who co-directed the music video with Jeff Leeds Cohn knew that they didn't know what they were doing. So the whole thing, spoiler alert, is poking fun at their own directing.
Transformers 4 is a ballsy brave film
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0f/Transformers_Age_of_Extinction_poster.jpg/220px-Transformers_Age_of_Extinction_poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassSo 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!!!
Queer ( 2024 ) is an Indiana Jones movie in a style of David Lynch
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Queer_%282024%29_film_poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassComing into a film called Queer I didn't except the movie to go where it went. It was not a romance drama film, which it was marketed as. It only started like one. If you like Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name and except the same movie here. Don't. This is a completely different movie.

Michael Bay is a Properly Good Director and I Will Stand by it Because it is True
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/michael_bay.png)
Blender DumbassIt seems like the entire world of film-enthusiasts came together and decided to bully one person for no reason what so ever. And that one person is Michael Bay.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence is the best film ever
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e6/AI_Poster.jpg/220px-AI_Poster.jpg)
Blender DumbassThis was the first time I've ever cried from a film. And that experience made me addicted, both to Steven Spielberg and A.I. and also to watching films seriously. Taking in what the directors is trying to do. Letting the film overwhelm you. Letting it break you. And perhaps made me a better filmmaker myself.
Midsommar is not a horror film
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Midsommar_%282019_film_poster%29.png/220px-Midsommar_%282019_film_poster%29.png)
Blender DumbassOn the very basic surface level it could be read as a horror film. It is slashery in nature. It has very gruesome body mutilation scenes. But the film feels less of a horror and more of something like Nicolas Winding Refn's film Only God Forgives. Only this one has Ari Aster written all over it.
