Francis Ford Coppola, a director behind things like
The Godfather and
Apocalypse Now did not direct
Vampire's Kiss. It was directed by
Robert Bierman. A director who did mostly work for TV. And who's directing style is not necessarily bad. I don't think he is bad. The movies do not feel terribly directed. It's just it seems that as a director he is not necessarily exciting.

There is a kind of very difficult film-style that is extremely complicated to do right, a kind of metaphorical, retro-futuristic, allegorically emotiono-political noir. I've seen many types of this done in such a surface level insane way that they are borderline unwatchable. A good example of this type of movie, which works to some extend, is Blender Foundation's
Elephants Dream. But even that is so strange that you have to grind yourself through a strange feeling of something being not quite right when watching it. Megalopolis by
Francis Ford Coppola seems like one that actually works. Which I consider to be a big achievement in cinematic science.
Crimson Tide 1995 is a stupidly smart movie

Before
Jerry Bruckheimer was obsessed with telling all his directors to be like
Michael Bay and before
Don Simpson had passed away. The duo of Simpson and Bruckheimer were obsessed with
Tony Scott, the director of such classics as
Top Gun,
Days of Thunder and
Enemy of the State ( which coincidentally were all produced by Jerry and Don, apart from the last film, which was produced after Don's passing ). But Tony Scott didn't only work with the duo. For example in 1993 he made a film not produced by Jerry and Don called
True Romance from a screenplay of
Quentin Tarantino. Which makes
Crimson Tide the second collaboration of the two

Gone in 60 Seconds ( 2000 ) is better than it's rating suggests

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.

You will probably laugh at me right now, but so far I've seen 1973
George Lucas film
American Graffiti just twice. First time I stopped at about 25 minute mark, not getting the hype around the movie. This time I decided to get through to the end, no matter what it takes. And believe me, if you are not laughing at me right now, you don't understand. This is fucked up! Holy fucking shit!!! I see it now!!! I see it!

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a writting masterclass

In
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning the mission is so impossible that there is a possibility that either
Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt, the entire world, or both will die. Not to mention that Tom Cruise himself can die. Because in this one he climbs from one plane to another mid flight.
