I doubt very much that this will be the last "historical revisionism" film of the origin of traditional Disney villains. Good music, good fashion.
Triple-decker to Will Smith.
I need to review it, because after Gemini Man, I was exhausted. I ended up "blacking out" from sleep on several stretches. Then I found out that there is a sequel! My God!
Funny there was only Black and Chrome version on Amazon Prime when I saw it, but it was an "Experience" with a capital "E". It suits both fans of the franchise and those new to this universe from here on out. Witness what may be the best film of the 2010s.
Interesting, but could be better.
Certainly better than Titanic. I need to see it again someday.
"I wish the telescopes didn't just look into the sky, but could also see through the earth, so that we could find them. [...]
We would sweep the desert with a telescope downwards and give thanks to the stars for helping us finding them. I'm just dreaming."
I saw the documentary Nostalgia of Light, about the Atacama Desert in Chile, a place where the sky is so clear that you can see the stars as bright light bulbs, which is why the largest telescopes in the world were built. Almost at the same time as the observatories were being built, one of the bloodiest dictatorships in South American history was taking place. There were many disappeared people buried in the same place where the lenses search for the origin of the universe, just as there are those who search for clues of loved ones who left during the Augusto Pinochet regime.
Between Lost Highway and Inland Empire there're Mulholland Drive, but it's só much better than those movies. Very peculiar but great!
First chapter in the Violence Jack film series. The shortest, I believe. The weakest of all three in existence, although the introduction to the universe is interesting. Too bad we won't get the clash between Jack and Slum King animated!
It would be much better if Jun was the heroine instead of Jack, but the film would probably have another title. Final scene gives hope for a sequel that certainly never happened. A pity, because it could finally fix all the problems of this series of OVA's loosely based on Go Nagai's work.
Lio and Galo
Galo and Lio
They go together as well as beans and rice.
That resuscitation was the apex.
Dumbass to call the mecha of the final battle Deus Ex Machina.
I wouldn't expect anything bad in the technical aspects, but the script is so predictable that it could even be a form of self-criticism, since they used a metalinguistic commentary!
I need to see more Trigger productions, the ones I saw were not so good: Kiznaiver (anyone remember this?), Darling in the Franxx (could anyone forget this?), Space Patrol Luluco (could someone make a movie of this?).
Very interesting. I liked all pig movements.
Protagonist carries the film on crutches.
A delightful musical. Entertaining from beginning to end, even if you don't know John Waters, although you will appreciate it more if you are an admirer of this director's work. Very much afraid to see the remake.
"When you look too long into an abyss, the abyss looks back at you."
Friedrich Nietzsche.
What's left of the characters are the bones, which is why Pedro Costa engages so much with the atmosphere and sound of the community of Fontainhas.
There is confusion between fiction and reality that made me very curious to discover other films by this director.
Sérgio Ricardo proto punk at the end of the performance of "Beto Bom de 'Vaia'".
It's more a Pink Flamingos than Salò for me. I need to watch it again (with sound and subtitles this time).
EDIT: Second watched yesterday, with audio and subtitles for all parts, because the variety of language, whether spoken or sung, is as rich as the acid humorous passages/sketches in this film.
When I say that for me it is closer to John Waters than Pier Paolo Pasolini, it would be in this present sense of "randomness" in the use of laughter in the most grotesque way possible - the so-called carnivalesque concept that Mikhail Bakhtin uses from his study of Rabelais' work (Gargantua and Pantagruel). There is the political side of Salò, but in the Italian production I didn't laugh as much as in Sweet Movie.
It is funny and even cruel with the proximity to death in the Katyn camps, but at the end it leaves a bit of hope, with the children coming out of the plastic bags, being reborn.
Simple plot, everything is resolved in the most convenient way possible. Everyone gets a happy(?) ending. The ending made me think a lot about a film Charlie Chaplin will make about people seeking great fortune through the gold mines in Alaska.
To go to the end of the world in such a particular, yet universal way. I enjoyed the pictures, the train ride, the talk about grandparents.
I don't get it
but remind me of end credits scene - in the Thai karaoke - from Only God Forgives movie. Same year I think: "You're My Dream" by P R O U D
The first five minutes, reserved for all the advertisers, excuse me, sponsors of this production, mistakenly marked on this site with ninety minutes, in fact it is forty, including the commercial space, for sure, all of them are worth remembering, from Lages, Santa Catarina, to the world.
I appreciate the comment on a competing site that I found when I was searching for "Tenshi no Tamago" there. I was afraid it was a variation of the infamous twelve episode three minute long anime called "Pupa". I was pleasantly surprised, all the scenes are disturbing, the soundtrack collaborates a lot with the reception of the images with the spectator. I almost felt like in that crowd in the last scene, staring at the woman, the animal, the sky also reflected in the river water amidst the snow-white banks.
I love the retelling of the iconic scene from The Battleship Potemkin, when João Amorim's wife is shot in the forehead:
Perhaps the closest animated film experience to the later film productions of Andrei Tarkovski.
I think it's my second film by this director. The first was another re-reading of Machado de Assis, the short story "A Causa Secreta" in "A Erva do Rato", with Selton Melo. There there was an author above all readings, here "Dom Casmurro" doesn't escape from Bressane's many peculiarities either. I know he produced a lot of films in other decades of our cinema, there are even several excerpts of scenes from other films of his, like "Matou a Família e foi ao Cinema". I liked that, also the text about Brazilian poets of Romanticism, plus a star by the "featurette/making of" as post-credits scenes. Vladimir Brichta, Mariana Ximenes are great, even Rogério Sganzerla's daughter is here.
I really appreciate this kind of inspired by Jorge Luis Borges short movie. When you see, it's over.
Laughing My F@#$ing Ass Off. A lot of guts, guns, tits, pixelated genitals, cockroaches, etc. If you like exploitation movies, give it a watch.
I like trains, Japanese landscapes and animals sounds in the park.
It had a bit of The Thing, Edge of Tomorrow, Alien, etc with a touch of Apocalypse Now, both in the grandfather's trauma and in the aesthetics of the action scenes in Miami Beach... The joke about the Dolphins winning a Super Bowl was a little funny.
Very interesting documentary about a person who did everything to achieve his goal, but for financial problems ended up having to give it up. How many do not identify with that? He still had the ability to do it, many don't even try. It is a lesson that takes sixteen minutes of projection, entitled to a lot of avant-garde music from the 70s and 80s, another aspect that I appreciated very much in it, the soundtrack and the archival images. I'm already trying to download the songs!
