Death Proof 2007 is a genius art house action film that people didn't get

Quentin Tarantino's 2007 film
Death Proof is considered the only bad movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. For the uninitiated the film seems like a boring film where 90% of the time nothing happens. And for those who know Tarantino it feels like Tarantino is trying too hard to flex his dialogue muscle while forgetting to tell an actual story.

Bad Boys 1995 is a Tarantino picture gone Bayhem!

The first thing you notice when watching
Michael Bay's directorial debut
Bad Boys is that the movie is not trying to be a Michael Bay film. There was no Michael Bay films prior to it. Bay was doing music videos and commercials before this film. And while those do have some of the style Bay will eventually bring over to his cinema pictures, here it seems he is actually trying something else entirely. The best analogy for the movie would be
Tony Scott's 1993 film
True Romance written by
Quentin Tarantino.

Dressed To Kill 1980 is a cinematic treat

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 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.

It's so weird to be watching
The Vast Of Night almost right after
No One Will Save You. One movie has no dialogue, while the other is just dialogue. To be honest, it might seem very strange to make a film so dialogue heavy, if we didn't have people like
Quentin Tarantino who shows time and time again that movies with a lot of dialogue can work fantastically.
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.

There are two modes for
Michael Bay: The playful mode of him having fun. This is the Bay of
Bad Boys and
Transformers. And a serious mode. That is the Michael Bay of films like
Ambulance,
Pearl Harbor and
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The latter of which is his most serious film ever.

You may think that 2023
Killers of the Flower Moon is the first time
Leonardo DiCaprio have worked with
Robert De Niro. In fact the first time was 30 years earlier in 1993 with
This Boy's Life. Yet a lot of people will suggest
Killers of the Flower Moon is still at least the first time both DiCaprio and De Niro worked with
Martin Scorsese. That is also not true. That would be 2015's short-film, directed by Scorsese called
The Audition.

South African filmmakers, writer
Brian Cox ( who directed some bad films himself ) and a director
Ralph Ziman decided to try to adopt what appears to be a hentai ( animated pornography ) film from Japan ( with the same name ) into a cool-ass female-empowerment action flick. They even got
Samuel L. Jackson ( an objectively good actor ) involved in the project somehow. Yet almost every decision made in the production of this film was a wrong decision.

How The Fabelmans Traumatized Me

I remember sitting at the entrance to a local cinema near me, shivering from a new kind of depression. I was waiting to enter the screening of
Avatar: The Way Of Water, which was released in cinema just after
The Fabelmans. The previous film I have seen in that very cinema, maybe already a week before that, was
The Fabelmans and that dreadful feeling I had was caused by that movie. I was committing an act of masochism going back to cinema right after the trauma I experienced, and I was pretty sure Avatar 2 would only make it worse. I didn't care. I went anyway. Thank god that
James Cameron decided to limit references to himself to a few nods to Titanic and stuff, and instead made a movie that is pretty much designed as a joyride. I don't know if I was alive today if Avatar 2 was anything like
The Fabelmans.

In my review of
Babylon I claimed that it was 1941 of
Damien Chazelle. But there is one filmmaker that makes 1941s all the time. And his name is
Michael Bay.

I would say that
Babylon, the 2022 film directed by
Damien Chazelle is Damien Chazelle's 1941. I wrote an article describing how
1941 is the ultimate Steven Spielberg movie and how there is a certain type of over the top insanity you can expect from a good filmmaker going completely unhinged. 1941 wasn't received well. People in the cinema were reportedly closing their ears from the shier amount of loud explosions that happened in the movie.
Babylon is the lowest rated movie from Damien Chazelle. But it doesn't mean that the movie is dull, or badly made. Both 1941 and
Babylon are explosive insanity-fests showcasing the ability of a good director to maintain focus in an absolute chaos. Both films are incredibly well directed. There are complex shots and interesting cuts all through out. But perhaps they had injected so much energy into the movies that the movies overdosed the audience. And therefor received worse reviews.
