Balerina 2025 did what Spy Kids should have but couldn't

Blender DumbassWhen I reviewed Havoc I wrote about this strange feeling that I dubbed "short orgasmic blackout" when I see a stupidly serious, angry face of a female character that is really cute. And one of the most cutest actors living these days is fucking Ana de Armas. Let me illustrate. We see young Victoria Comte playing Eve ( the main character ) while being 11 ( Comte was born in 2013, do the math ), and then the film says "12 years later" so now she is 23. Yet de Armas playing her is 36 ( at the time of filming ). She plays somebody almost half her age and it works. Why? She is fucking cute! That's why. And because of that I knew I was probably getting the "short orgasmic blackout" the movie.
Havoc ( 2025 ) is a pornographically satisfying violence movie

Blender DumbassAgain I found a movie that makes me question my own ideas as a filmmaker. Havoc ( directed by Gareth Evans ) is so stylized and fucking awesome that they had to go a CGI route for a lot of the shots to even be possible in the first place. Which created a similar situation, which I discussed in my review of Shazam! 2.
I don't remeber Wanted ( 2008 ) to be that good

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.

Michael Bay is a Properly Good Director and I Will Stand by it Because it is True

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.
Bad Boys 2 is Michael Bay's Magnum Opus

Blender DumbassSimilarly to Michael Mann's Miami Vice Bad Boys II is about love, man... It is about how both Will Smith and Martin Lawrence love Gabrielle Union. And how they are willing to do international terrorism and kill many many people, to save her. True love bro!
Revenge ( 2017 ) is a kind of movie Nicolas Winding Refn would masturbate to

Blender DumbassObviously I watched Revenge because it was directed by Coralie Fargeat, the director of current world-wide phenomenon The Substance. Even though Revenge is her directorial debut, I didn't not think it would be a bad film going into it, based on what I know about The Substance. And my expectations were pretty much met exactly.
