"I'm Your Man" is a film that explores the complexities and possibilities of a romantic relationship between a human and a robot in a very humorous way. The movie presents a future where experts are asked to evaluate the capabilities of these robots as potential partners and raises questions about the role of technology in human connection and the definition of what it means to be human. Dan Stevens absolutely nails his role as Tom, his nuanced robotic behavior is just perfect and makes for a truly hilarious and memorable performance. Maren Eggert is also great as Alma, the broken yet self-assured woman who just wants a little bit of love and healing. Together, they make for a dynamic and entertaining duo that'll have you laughing and swooning at the same time.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

Who needs actual human contact when we can just clone ourselves and fill hospitals or laboratories with copies? Or better yet, we can stick our sperm or our eggs inside our robotic partners!  they'll be just like us, except without all the pesky biological processes and stupid feelings. But seriously, what is it that makes us human? From what I learned from this movie is that it is our flaws.</b></div><div><b style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></b></div><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><div>The soundtrack for the film, featuring the music of Bremer/Mcoy, is a highlight of the movie. Make sure to listen closely to that double bass, particularly in the poignant moment when Tom departs for the "factory". The song used in this scene, "Drømmer," perfectly captures the sadness and beauty of the moment. If you want to fully experience the emotional impact of the scene, be sure to give the song a listen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF-Si-vjwzQ">here.</a> </div><div><br /></div><div>I also enjoyed the final scene very much; Alma recalls the kiss that never came from the real Tom, this moment captures the confusion and complexity of her relationship with the non-breathing humanoid. I think it serves as a metaphor for the unique challenges and emotions she experiences while trying to form an intimate connection with the machine.</div></b></span></span></div><div><b style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></b></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

For our last movie of the week featuring Zoey Deutch, we have the dark comedy "Flower". Directed by Max Winkler, the film follows the misadventures of 17-year-old Erica Vandross, a rebellious and quick-witted teenager with daddy issues living with her single mother and her mother's new boyfriend in the San Fernando Valley. When her mother's mentally unstable son arrives from rehab, Erica's domestic and personal life become overwhelming. Alongside her friends Kala and Claudine, Erica sets out to expose a high school teacher's secret and frame an ex-teacher accused of molesting a child.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

"Flower"'s greatest achievement is its successful blend of serious drama and comedy, such as the powerful argument between the mother and daughter, which is brought to life by impressive performances from Kathryn Hahn and Zoey Deutch (you can watch it below). In conclusion, "Flower" is a very entertaining comedy, and if you like Zoey Deutch, please don't miss this one.

We're back with our third movie of the week dedicated to Zoey Deutch, and this time we have a dark comedy called "Buffaloed". Directed by Tanya Wexler, the film follows the story of Peg Dahl, a girl from Buffalo, New York who becomes involved in the cutthroat world of debt collection. As she navigates this ruthless industry, Peg strives to break free from her working-class background and build a better life for herself.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

Jai Courtney is also great as her brutal nemesis, "Wiz". Every other actor and character is kind of meh, not particularly interesting or memorable. The film is full of humor, and had me laughing out loud at times, such as when Peg says that she heard a rumor that a debt collector told a debt owner that there's a sniper who will shoot them if they don't pay up. This darkly comedic moment perfectly captures the cutthroat nature of the debt collection industry.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>One of the things I really enjoyed about "Buffaloed" was the way it depicted the city of Buffalo as a small, tight-knit community, with its love and support for the Buffalo Bills and its delicious chicken wings.

We're back and we are watching movies this week with Zoey Deutch. We've recently watched "I'm Not Okay" and we enjoyed her performance in that movie, so we wanted more. Sorry for not making a review of "I'm Not Okay" but time is scarce. Krasnaya will also not review the movies with me this week because she got a new job and little time. Moving forward, 'Zombieland: Double Tap' is a fun and entertaining horror-comedy film that offers a satisfying mix of zombie bashing and humorous moments.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

I have to note that Woody Harrelson seems to not age at all! I don't remember much from the first "Zombieland" movie, but I do remember it being an "okay" movie. Zombie stuff easily entertains me, and "Zombieland: Double Tap" does not disappoint in that regard. My favorite characters are Woody Harrelson ("Tallahassee"), who brings his usual manly charm to the role, and Zoey Deutch, who is adorably annoying as Madison, a stereotype of the dumb blonde girl that she manages to make her own. I have a desire to see more of Deutch and I don't mind getting another dumb girl in the next movie. She's "soy" good at making everyone uncomfortable! One particularly funny moment for me was when Madison was basically coming up with the idea for the Uber service and everyone is belittling her.</b></div><div><b style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></b></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

Today, for our Leguizamo week, we don't have a movie, but a theatrical stand-up history lesson with some fantastic dance moves in the middle! From this 2018 Netflix original we get to see the full potential of John Leguizamo as a comedian, and I can say that I've enjoyed his one-man Broadway show very much.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>John tells us the story of when he tried to help his son carry out a project for school where he would have to talk about his hero numero uno. His son was also having a little trouble with a bully at school who used to call him a beener. So, John began the quest to find the perfect hero for his son through books focused on the history of the peoples who inhabited the American continent before European colonization, as well as the Latin American cultures and figures that survived that invasion. He wanted his son to be proud of his racial identity and to teach that bully a lesson without having to resort to violence,even though he encourages the kid to sucker punch the bully at some point). The child regrets obeying that advice from his father and later says "Violence is the lowest form of communication" and I agree with that.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Hey, Freddy! I can say that, in general, I had a pleasant impression of this one-man show performed by John Leguizamo. He blended Native American history in an utterly charming way, spicing it up with notes of annoyance and anguish at the injustice that is the heritage of the Aztecs, Incas, Mayans and other Indian tribes not being mentioned in his son's American history textbook.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

I don't know how accurate all the historical information he provides is, but the books he recommends are of great importance and John ends up providing a great service to the minorities living in America and all the people of Latin America through his art and entertainment. Some of the books he mentioned are: "A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn", "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann", and The History of Latin America: Collision of Cultures by Marshall C. Eakin, among others.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">K: You have to give credit to John for sharing a decent list of books and probably inspiring quite a few people to read them and learn more about American history. I was interested from the very beginning. John is indeed a very charismatic and talented comedian, who knows how to make a cheeky joke or add a dramatic touch. In the moment when tears welled up in his eyes, I felt how deep his pain was for all the injustice to the Native American peoples. </span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: There's moments where John gets serious and I found interesting his talk about the historical repression and rage that runs through his veins, and, imagining myself in his place, I think I would have even less tolerance and patience than he has for all the discrimination and debasement that immigrants and NATIVES of the USA still have to endure by the white establishment.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>As a European and a descendant of the great maritime explorers, I should feel that white guilt for the genocide of indigenous peoples, the slave trade and other nasty shit that my ancestors perpetrated, but I don't, because I grew up and lived as a minority, a lower middle white trash citizen who since little hates with a burning passion our global, earth destructive, racist, hypocrite and deceitful capitalistic system.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">K: Unfortunately, genocide and oppression work faster and more efficiently. I really liked that John was able to inspire his son to be proud of his roots and chose himself as his hero. Freddie and I thought it would be John himself, in a grand cheesy final but we got surprised. John must be really proud of his son.</span></b></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

I think I'm going to check out the research project by Elizabeth Graham that explores the idea that 'human sacrifice' is a Spanish construct and that the Maya rationalized socially sanctioned killing through warfare. From what I know now about war propaganda, back in those days it would be really easy to fool people and turn everyone from a different color into an enemy of god and king.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b>To end my ramble, I highly recommend this one-person show for its ability to pique our historical curiosity, John's dance moves and, of course, his jokes, accents and impersonations.

The film begins with Ross (Jason Schwartzman) knocking on Spider Mike's (John Leguizamo) door to get his fix and ease his hangover. The shit is, Spider Mike doesn't know where he left the drugs and probably lost them. Spider Mike's crackhouse is a bona fide den of drugs, degradation and confusion. Here we are quickly presented with a speedy film full of image tricks that try to bring us closer to the mental state of a methamphetamine addict. That kind of drug that's cut with supermarket products, and produced in sleazy motel rooms. I would say that this film is kind of a mix between Pulp Fiction, Snatch and Trainspotting for its black humor, characters and editing style.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Hi, Freddy! The second film starring John Leguizamo cheered me up as methamphetamine invigorates all the characters for an hour and forty minutes, and I went to bed under the impression. The feeling of pity for people addicted to this drug, whose life is a kind of "marathon" from dose to dose, prevailed in me. The film traces a clear idea of what can happen to people who have lost the most precious thing in the world - love. Someone love for his girlfriend, someone for his child, someone for his mother.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

584. </span><div><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: I didn't know the director of the film and I found it curious that he was the director of practically all of Madonna's music videos from 1998 onwards and loads of other pop and even metal artists like Rammstein. Another surprise of this film was the number of cameos by some celebrities, such as Blondie, who plays the lesbian neighbor of Ross, Billy Corgan with a blonde wig playing a doctor, Rob Hardfold from Judas Priest working in a porno shop and Ron Jeremy working behind a counter in a strip bar.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>This movie is fast and furious but ends up going nowhere and falling flat. Like the drug it represents, you will be awake because everything moves so fast. You will eventually crash, come down and understand that everything that happened was kind of pointless and without substance. There are a lot of questionable choices that don't help with the story, like why would Ross tie up his prostitute girlfriend, or why would Mickey Rourke kill himself in the end? The writing is not great and the actors are definitely responsible for saving this movie.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Mickey Rourke's character and acting was my favorite and John Leguizamo comes right behind him. From the previous movie we watched (The Pest), to this role was a huge improvement. I would have preferred not to see Spider Mike masturbating into a sock, but hey, that scene was kind of funny and I've enjoyed the drug-fueled erratic behavior of his character the most.</b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">K: This film, in my opinion, beats all records in terms of the number of cuts. Not a single frame  lasts more than 3 seconds. But this did not annoy me, on the contrary, it immersed me more in this whole trash drug story. The bedridden stripper also remained an issue for me. Only God knows what the heck happens in a drug addict's head. The rest of the story  looks solid to me. The actors involved in this film put their souls in it. John Leguizamo perfectly conveyed a drug dealer with a shattered nervous system. For Mina Suvari, this film was an excellent therapy for stagnation in one role. Here she is not a big-eyed barbie girl. She is in washed-out pajamas, with bruises under her eyes and disgusting teeth. Mickey Rourke in the form of an amateur chemist - in those big glasses and a headset - is great. </span></b></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

I must admit that I should have listened to the film critics for the first time and completely discarded the plebs' comments left on IMDb that encouraged me to see this movie. I found dozens of reviews on top that say that this movie is super funny and that they don't understand why the bad reviews. Well then! These people must have been high as a kite. The Pest is a horrible, offensive movie with one of the worst protagonists of all time. Everyone talking greatly about this amalgam of bad taste should be ashamed of themselves. John Leguizamo was nominated for the worst actor award for his performance in this film at the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, and the strangest thing is... that he didn't win! Tom Arnold took home the award for the movie McHale's Navy. A movie that now, I know that I will never dare to see.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Hello friends!

I think the cover says it all.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

The difference is that Jim Carrey is a god of physical humor and John is not. Someone should have put the brakes on Leguizamo the moment he rolled his eyes and pretended to be blind. Leguizamo shouldn't have any real friends at this point in his life. It's impossible not to feel awkward when Leguizamo tries this joke several times throughout the film. The film is disconnected and the story, even if it wasn't to be taken seriously, could have had a little more effort on its writing were it not the case that all the people on this set had self-assessment problems and thought they were comedic geniuses. It seems to me that cocaine-inflated egos are responsible for this disaster.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>All the supporting actors are absolutely horrible (except the African-America</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>n dad XD), the stereotypical jokes are so bad they become offensive, and the frenetic energy of Pest à la Ace Ventura is simply childish and in poor taste.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Okay, I partly liked the stupidity of the Chinese restaurant delivery boy... and when Pest chooses his best friend to stay inside the car and be taken by the Scottish mob, I giggled.

The film came out phenomenal! It is easy to watch (despite the fact that it is about depression and misunderstanding), full of interesting dialogues and TONS of humor. Everything that happens on the screen seems absurd, with a lot of oddities and amazing madness. But this is a philosophical film about how we want to do everything, always and all at once. About how we are torn apart in our small inner multiverse and in conflict with ourselves and sometimes with our loved ones. The theme of "eyes" is carved into a separate line: to see, look at each other, look through the cracks between the palms, etc.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: I think this is the most wildly paced and fun movie I've ever seen! I can only equate the pacing and absurdity of this film with "Mother Schmuckers", a highly recommended Belgian comedy. There were many unthinkable situations in this movie that left me rolling on the couch laughing. I bet the filmmakers, collectively known as Daniels, while writing this story took the first things that popped into their heads and found a way to introduce those ideas logically into a film where all common logic can easily get suspended thanks to the main premise - The Multiverse. Everything is allowed in this multiverse, as long as you have a bluetooth headset with the most cutting-edge software created in the Alpha universe, of course.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>A film that in its first few minutes seems simply to follow the drama of a family of Chinese origin who owns a laundry business and has some problems with the IRS, suddenly turns into an epic sci-fi film where the most unsuccessful person ever has the mission to save all possible and imaginable universes using inter-dimensional jumps where you can, for example, acquire highly advanced Kung Fu skills that would make Jackie Chan's legs tremble.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

Bright saturated colors, grotesque images and Debussy's music add up to something incredible at the level of sensations. I felt like everything that was happening on the screen rotated my brain like a Rubik's cube. I really liked Jobu Tupaki's fight with the guards in the corridor. What a bright, fast and effective change of images! The second amazing scene in the film is the scene with the rocks. Daniels managed to ridicule the entire modern world in one shot, ridiculing all the hopes, feelings and contradictions of people.</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: </b></span><b style="color: #0b5394;">Debussy you say? I love Debussy!</b></div><div><b style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>I can only understand the process of making this film as a true nightmare! How to coordinate all the scenes? How to make sense of what to record first? The person who managed the wardrobe isn't in a mental hospital right now? And the room where the film was edited? Did they catch it on fire after everything was finished? I am really impressed with what they were able to achieve with all the work done here. The scene you mention of the first fight between the most terrible being in the universe, Jobu Tupaki, was one of those moments that if I had been drinking water, the television would have been probably damaged now. In this fight, the cop turned Carmen Miranda was truly an out-of-this-world unexpected comedy moment. Other bits that made my ribs hurt from laughing were: the moment we were introduced to the "sausage hands" universe and the discovery of Raccacoonie. The absurdity is of the highest possible level.</b></span></div></div><div><br /></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

Although the idea of someone trying to shove an award up their ass to be able to make an inter-dimensional leap is funny, the fight that happens at this point seemed more childish than absurd.</b></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b>K: The actors were given the daunting task of playing several different interpretations of their characters at once, as well as repeatedly, abruptly and convincingly switching between them. Michelle Yeoh played at least five different versions of the main character in this film, and in each of them she looks very harmonious. The directorial duet of the two Daniels produced a specific and non-standard, yet deeply touching film. This film needs to be re-watched to see the unseen and hear the unheard in the mix of all the fast-paced footage.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b>You are right about the deeply touching part that the movie is also able to deliver.

We close our week with a charming musical dramedy from 1975 - Funny Lady. A movie that is the continuation of Funny Girl (1968), in which Barbara Streisand made her film debut. In Funny Lady, the protagonist, Fanny Brice, appears before us at the peak of her career in the 1930s, but not at the best moment of her personal life. I can't consider myself a big fan of musicals, but the director elegantly wove the musical numbers into the narrative canvas.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hi Krasnaya! It's so hoooooot again today... I would like to warn you that I've been drinking today, and I'm still a bit tipsy. So, this probably will be my best review ever. Funny Lady is a movie. I like movies. Just kidding. A musical! My favorite genre. I've chosen this movie for our James Caan tribute week to balance things out by having some romantic stuff for Krasnaya. It seems that she also doesn't like musicals... great. I could have gone with another thriller...</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Being my least favorite genre, I can tell you that I was very much entertained for the 1st half of this movie! I didn't think this was strictly a musical, because the singing was being done on stages or studios where that stuff typically happens. But later in the movie, they start singing on trains and planes, and I don't like that because it makes me throw up.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

874. </span><div><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>K: The movie has a good plot. Barbara Streisand has an excellent voice and the movie is filled with good music and dancing. And of course, costumes. They are just amazing! But throughout the movie, I couldn't help feeling that something was missing. I had a few favourite moments in the movie - the scene where Fanny is trying to get rid of Billy by throwing talcum powder at him, the scene on the train and the water show scene. These scenes made me feel a great chemistry happening between Barbara Streisand and James Caan. The rest of the time, I was a little bored watching what was happening on the screen.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">F: There are moments of astonishing cinematography, like in my favorite scene where Streisand sings on top of a giant cigarette holder. Such a cool scene. Curiously, the cinematographer was a Chinese-born American called Wong Tung Jim and this was his last project. It earned him an Oscar nomination. Wikipedia tells us that during the 1930s and 1940s, he was one of the most sought after cinematographers in Hollywood due to his innovative filming techniques. What do you think about that? Really surprising!</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">The cinematography was not enough to save this movie from falling into the boring category. After 1 hour I was yawning. I was tired of  Billy and Fanny's relationship and I couldn't care less about Fanny's relationship with her ex-husband Nicky (Omar Sherif). They're all a bunch of cheating bastards. So, in this "second part" of the movie, me and Krasnaya were mostly yapping away while they sang their silly romantic songs.</span></b></div></div><div><br /></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

I love the American style from this era. This is a highly fictionalized account of Fanny Brice's later career as a comedian and singer, but nonetheless, she surely is an interesting character and I'm always glad to revisit people who have long been gone but are still so present if you wish so. If you like musicals, you will be blown away by this one, because it has amazingly vibrant dancing and singing moments. Barbara Streisand is simply a powerful singing lady. James Caan is also there but Streisand steals all the spotlights.</b></span></div></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b>This is it for our tribute to James Caan.

The work of the operator is also at its best. In this film there are lots of close-up shots characteristic of Dolan, and the picture is also replete with long shots. All this took me into the story. I empathize with the main characters, and feel their discomfort, anxiety or emptiness. It turned out to be a very sincere story with the help of great acting from Dolan and Gabriel D'Almeida Freitas (Mattias). I really liked the scene with the disturbing swim of Mattias, trying to wash off this incomprehensible and strange feeling that he had after filming the short film. The makeout scene with Maxim and Matthias was too drawn out for me. I have nothing against same-sex love, but I felt uncomfortable.</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: If you are a straight guy and able to enjoy this, you, my friend, are still living inside the closet.

Well, today we complete our 10-day marathon dedicated to the talented director SABU and we close it with the 2019 film - Dancing Mary. Again, we had a fusion in front of us. SABU made a cocktail of drama and action movies, seasoning it all with light horror and comedy. For me, in this film, SABU took care of the problem of the emptiness of modern youth and bureaucracy in Japan, where, in addition to that, one cannot do without the Yakuza. I can’t say that the film captured me. I got sleepy and had to watch it the next day.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hello sleepyhead. So we decided to check SABU's 2019 "horror" movie as it is advertised on IMDb, and I have to tell you that I got really, really scared at the beginning of the movie when I saw Mary's ghost. I thought that SABU had decided to make a really shitty horror movie full of frightening clichés... but soon I understood that this was mostly a comedy and was very much relieved. Phew! This movie is centered around a haunted dancehall that needs to be demolished in order to give way to a new building project, but the ghost of Mary, who's waiting for her beloved Johnny, is making things very complicated. The civil servants tried all kinds of psychic mediums, but to no effect, so who they gonna call? Ghostbu... the Yakuza! The movie also starts with our main character riding a skateboard and popping a wanna-be ollie. Skateboards alone always get 5 points in my final score.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

The main protagonist of the story, Kataoka Naoto, was able to convey the image of the civil servant well in moments where he is indifferent, not burdened with the search for his purpose in life. But at the end of the film, when he says that he never felt the pain of defeat or the joy of victory - I didn’t believe him; somehow he outplayed it cheaply. The very short roles of actors of the older generation evoked way more emotions in me. The charming old women with cancer that are still laughing out loud and living to the fullest here and now, or the desperate homeless man who died alone in some abandoned factory. His words about human indifference and the terrible bureaucratic machine were really touching. Cinematography, as always with SABU, is beautiful and this switching of the picture from color to black and white, from the living to the dead, adds style to the film. The music also fits perfectly with the story.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">F: The way ghosts are portrayed in Dancing Mary is really funny and they seem to follow the rules of spiritism laid out by Allan Kardec. They are stuck in our physical reality because they can't let go of something, and when they are confronted with their death, they act funny. I really enjoyed our main character Kenji (Naoto Kataoka - another J-pop star 🤔). He was funny because of his lack of courage, and his reactions to the constant harassment from different characters that go about in the movie. Like you, Krasnaya, I didn't find Kenji's ending scene very convincing, but I surely enjoyed watching him waving around that rubbery wooden log at the Yakuza. About Johnny, even though he wore a Black Flag t-shirt (2 more points just for that) he sucked. In fact, the biggest fault in the movie comes around Johnny. The whole plot is resolved by a strange change of heart by this character while he is getting a ride in Kenji's car. That felt really sloopy. This movie needed a big plot twist. It needed something unexpected to happen with the Yakuza or maybe with Kenji's new underage friend, IDK. Also, SABU could have avoided the mushy ending in this one, for once.</span></b></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

And here, too, SABU weirdly touches on the Christianity subject. I'm interested in knowing what happened to him in 2005; that he could not avoid this theme in any way. Hold Up Down turned out to be jerky and uneven in mood. Sometimes a smile appeared on my face and sometimes I was hand-gesturing to hurry it up (the fight scene was unbearably long). Still, I watched the film to the end. It turned out to be trashy, with a lot of banter, farce and clichés.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Whoah! What a mess of a movie! I don't understand if SABU in 2005 was high on Jesus or high on crack! What I experienced yesterday was just terrible and I started to get so annoyed that I turned the movie off at the hotel scene when the police woman started pointing and laughing. There's way too many characters and too many jumps from one to the other. It's tiring and I didn't like any of them. The movie also has a TV Sunday afternoon movie feel and seems directed at children. But it is not. The comedy and situations are beyond stupid and I bet that not even a 10-year-old will find them funny.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

There's a very beautiful building in that scene and I loved how SABU showed this long corridor that's clearly leading to hell. Masato Ibu (who plays a bartender) looks creepy here. He doesn't say a word, but you can feel that he's on the evil side.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: I bet V6 sucks ass! What was it with SABU and boy bands during this period also?? Wasn't the main actor from Dead Run also in a boy's band? SABU was onto some weird shit that was damaging his creativity... Anyway, this movie gets 5 points for solidarity with SABU, and 5 points for the fat guy (Yuki Himura) with the baseball bat that makes an excellent GIF and for the part where the detective, or whatever he is, says that he's using his sixth sense. That's it. I have nothing more to say, since I didn't even watch "Hold Up Down" 'till the end. </b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

Ready and set for another SABU week and today we bring you "Monday"! I will call this a black comedy about two days in the life of a guy that should stay away from alcoholic beverages. The movie opening is very creative and made me think that I had a bogus copy of the movie, but no, we are greeted with a repetition of the weather broadcast until we meet our semi-amnesiac character that will soon try hard to remember what happened after yesterday's catastrophic funeral.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Hi Freddy! We continue to enjoy the creativity of the multifaceted SABU. Today we have Monday, a movie from 2000 whose plot is desperately simple - a young man in a black suit wakes up in a hotel room. His head is cracking. Who am I? Where am I? Having found a bag of salt in his pocket, he begins to slowly recall the events of the previous day. SABU made a very original and sort of puzzle movie. It's about good and evil, and everyone fights with the latter to the best of their ability, because evil is an integral part of a person and demons are constantly watching us, waiting for the moment to break into our warm corner. The weapon used in the movie becomes a scepter of power, giving a person the right to administer justice, based on their own ideas of good and evil.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

1284. </span><div><span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">F: I have to say that from the earlier SABU movies (90's and early 00's) we watched, this is the best he directed and has written so far. The movie is funny, and Shinichi Tsutsumi, a SABU regular, delivers great physical comedy and moments of contagious laughter. I am just critical of the action in these early movies. It's really lame, and in "Monday" you will witness the worst Police Special Assault Team ever. He did improve hugely on that in his most recent movies. Monday can also drag in some scenes, making the pace a little too slow. For example, I remember the palm reading scene and that could have ended earlier and been a little less awkward.</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">I'm always happy to find SABU and Takeshi Kitano regulars (Susumu Terajima and Ren Osugi) and see them usually play Yakuza mobsters, as in the case of Ren Osugi in this movie. From now on, I will be sad every time I watch a Japanese movie and none of these guys are in it. 😢</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>K: Monday has a special aesthetic dimension. This film is very minimalistic in its setting, in which SABU dissects human emotions. And does it masterfully. The funeral scene is the funniest I've ever seen. Monday's character laughs in the face of death, dances solo, and goes for a provocative slow duet. His laughter is brought to despair, which becomes insanely sad or scary. The scene of an idealistic and happy society deserves special praise. It touches with its simplicity and sincerity. Shinichi Tsutsumi plays the role of Takagi excellently. For me, this is his best performance. He is a hero, a coward, a seducer and a philosopher here.  </b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

That's when the criminal couple stops at the traffic lights after stabbing a poor guy and running over our hero. Even the worst thugs are conditioned by red lights. 😂 The other moment that I burst into laughter was when Takagi was writing his testament and took that first sip from the whisky bottle. It was so unexpected! The camera frame at that moment makes it extremely funny. It was a really nice capture. Finally, there's the whole anti-gun scene. It's just perfect and the US government should use it as propaganda (Watch it below).</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: medium;"><b>I also found the white demons really cool.

We're almost finishing our SABU week and I want to tell you that I wouldn't mind doing a SABU marathon after watching Jam. This movie has a similar story structure to SABU's Dangan Runner and you will find the usual director's imagetic. Someone is always running when close to the climax, and the plot is resolved this time with a car rushing to the sounds of beeping music (I love that arrangement. I will leave the scene below). So, like yesterday's movie, we follow 3 characters that are bound together by destiny and we go back and forth to find out what happened to them and how they connect with each other. This time the story was really interesting and the coincidences were a bit more plausible.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Hey Freddy! I agree, let's make an exception and do a marathon. SABU deserves it 100%! Jam turned out to be a very charming work, with an exciting plot, where comical vocal numbers are replaced by moments of kindness or savory showdowns. SABU loves fusion. As you already understand, it is always a mix of different genres, as our life is actually. For me, this film is about different types of love: manic love, a grandson’s love for his grandmother, and, of course, about love as the last breath of life. A grandmother lives in a stroller, it seems, solely thanks to romantic inertia. I liked the film as much as the critics of the Moscow International Film Festival in 2019.

Unlike SABU's previous movie we've seen, I didn't find a single scene being overplayed. I found this his most polished movie so far and I can only observe one flaw. That's the last scene when the Number 1 Fan (Mariko Tsutsui) smashes against Hiroshi (Shô Aoyagi). I UNDERSTAND!

The language firstly and the symbolism secondly.  In this film, it seems to me, SABU describes life as a car without brakes, as a series of coincidences. You never know if death will bring a new turn or a head-on meeting with what you most desire. I definitely recommend this film. I am sure that almost everyone will feel a wide range of emotions. Master SABU skillfully worked on this cocktail.  </b></span></div><div><br /></div></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">

1487. <div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: The 1996 Dangan Runner is SABU's debut entry. The film lasts only 82 minutes, but in places it seemed to me that it was somehow longer. The final scene seemed to stop. Probably the director intended it this way, so that the viewer could catch his breath along with the characters of the film and understand what all this chasing was for. The film is very masculine, it is about dominance, about the desire of every man to prove something to himself and others. SABU masterfully mixed elements of art house and the then popular yakuza theme, added quirky Japanese humor and 3 running losers - first one after another, and then just running and enjoying the process. It turned out to be an interesting and a bit confusing experience for me!</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hello, hello! We are on our fourth movie by SABU and I can say now that running and cycling are important elements in SABU movies. In every single movie we've seen so far, there are people running or pedaling. Hell, I think this line in Dangan Runner said by the Yakuza interpreted by Ren Osugi (a Cine It regular 😊 I love that guy) says it all:  "You got to pay attention to how you run. One runs to achieve a particular goal. Not just people either. All living things do that. Run so you know how to live." This movie is really important if you want to understand SABU, in my opinion. At the surface level, this movie is just about 3 guys running. The first runner, Yasuda (Tomorowo Taguchi), is pursued by a heroin-addicted rock singer, Aizawa (Diamond Yukai), who wants revenge from the first because he stole from his shop and shot him in the arm. During the chase, a third runner joins in when Aizawa accidentally clashes with him, a Yakuza named Takeda, played by Shinichi Tsutsumi, who wants to stab Aizawa because he owes him money. Takeda was also having an emotionally difficult time before the clash.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

I liked the story with the flashbacks and the return to the running characters. Fast music, made by Daisuke Okamoto and Diamond Yukai, suits the pace of the movie to perfection. The cinematography is wonderful. I really enjoyed following the successive landscapes - from the modern city with its narrow streets to the industrial zone. Strawberry lovers will enjoy three imaginary scenes of making love to a woman - each of the characters has its own special erotic addictions. Well, I want to note the acting. For me, SABU chose a wonderful cast, where everyone is in their place, and even took part in the film. </b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">F: I think the acting is a little bit exaggerated, just like in the movie "<a href="https://www.cineit.blog/2022/05/postman-blues-1997.html" target="_blank">Postman Blues</a>", but then again, the film is almost like a cartoon, so it's easy to overlook that. The imagery of the city is great, just like you said. The development of the characters and story through flashback sequences is not as cool as it might have been back in 1996. I also found the pace of the movie a little bit slow sometimes. Like you said, it felt way longer than 82 minutes. What I really enjoyed about this comedy is the situational aspect. What makes me LOL is when I think about explaining the plot details to someone. It's absurd and I love that!</span></b></div><div><b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><div>My favorite scene from this movie is when the 3 runners are all running next to each other. What happened? Did they forget what they were running for? It's so stupid at first glance. This scene resembles my favorite part from "<a href="https://www.cineit.blog/2022/05/postman-blues-1997.html" target="_blank">Postman Blues</a>" where, instead of running, 3 characters are riding bikes together and act with similar mannerism. This is why I like SABU. He was set to do his OWN thing from the very start.</div></b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

Not a polished movie but a must watch if, like us, you are digging into this crazy director's work.

I've already seen "The Fearless Vampire Killers" before and I love this movie, so I'm glad we're ending our vampire week with it. This film reminds me of Soviet fairy tales, with its scenery, the clothes and landscapes. That's probably why I like it so much. It's grotesque as it is. The story is more comical than scary and I think that Roman Polanski managed to make a movie for all time, as it is thought out to the smallest detail, it has a lot of charm, humor and imagination.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hello Krasnaya, indeed, we got traditional bloodsuckers for our last movie of our themed week. Even though I'm not very pleased with having pedo Polanski on my blog, I've been wanting for sometime to watch this movie and get it done with. What pisses me off the most about this guy is that he was never handed over to justice. Above the law he is. The child molesting? Everyone is OK with that in Hollywood, you just need to read the name signatures in the 2009 petition put together to forgive this scumbag. With that in mind, it is hard for me to have sympathy for this weasel face acting all innocent and sweet with his character of the professor's assistant in this movie.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

They are so textured, thought out in detail and so different. It feels like they were first worked out in detail by a cartoonist, and then skillfully played by amazing actors. Crazy obsessed Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) with a unique haircut done by electric shock and a chic mustache - he is as prone to accidents as he is lucky. Nosed Alfred (Roman Polanski), scared stiff at the sight of a vampire. The innkeeper's daughter Sarah (Sharom Tate) is an alien beauty who loves to take baths. And, of course, Count von Krolock (Ferdy Mayne), a true vampire with the manners of an aristocrat.</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: It's undeniable that the movie has great production design, but that's not enough to make it for me. This was mostly a boring experience because the humor was very outdated. People falling or sexual hints do not amuse me. There are probably some vampire movie parody elements that I didn't understand and that are lost in time. The only moment I laughed out loud was when the Professor asked if Alfred had eaten something because he smelled garlic sausage. That line reminded me of inspector Clouseau and I just love Peter Sellers.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

They struggle to catch humans and are easily defeated by them in arm wrestling. The excuse that this is a comedy doesn't work for me. You have the clumsy heroic duo taking out two old vampires really easily in order to disguise themselves with their clothes. Such a naivete scene like this made me feel stupid. The movie is a little bit more interesting towards the end when they first try to nail the sleeping vampires, but all the charm this movie could have had is destroyed because I can't disconnect from the pedo in the movie.

"Something Wild", which was Ray Liotta's second movie, concludes our tribute week. So I absolutely loved this movie! This is a wild comedy tinged with crime. Jonathan Demme made a pleasant romantic movie - fabulous and poignant, which also has a frantic rhythm. I had a feeling that it was not the characters of the film who were pulled out of the dullness of everyday life, but me. After the eternal groundhog day, Lulu, full of bracelets and amazing earrings, appears, throws you into the car and takes you into the many-colored world. A world of recklessness that flows to the sounds of reggae, rock and afro-beat music.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hiya Krasnaya! What an 80's hidden gem of a movie! In "Something Wild" we follow Charlie, a business executive and a family man played by goofy-looking Jeff Daniels, who is sort of kidnapped by this crazy girl, Lulu, played by Melanie Griffith, who reminded me of a brunette Cindy Lauper. I was expecting lame and corny stuff from this premise, but I ended up enjoying this romantic-comedy ride a lot. The first part of the movie is exclusively dedicated to our newfound mismatched couple. We get to see Lulu's criminal shenanigans, motel bow-chicka-wow-wow and nice conservative parental meetings. Most of the time, I had a smile on my face seeing these two characters interacting together while they drank and drove to god knows where. They are charming and charismatic and they reminded me of my own carefree and crazy times. Now, I'm a father and I can't do anything truly wild anymore... at least until my daughter is grown up and independent.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

The trio composed by Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liotta are the bomb! Ray Liotta made me anxious. He is brilliant and perfectly plays all the unpredictability of his character. It's amazing how he manages to radiate so much hidden threat with just a look and a smile. Jeff Daniels perfectly conveys the representative of the office plankton who went into all serious trouble, and Melanie Griffith transforms from a mysterious swindler into the cutest creature, which even cats are thrilled to be around.</span></b></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: That's right, after a full day of adventures, we get to the second part of the movie where we are presented with Ray... an ex-convict and the former husband of Lulu. The minute he is introduced, a switch is flipped. The movie changes in tone completely and it's amazing how director Jonathan Demme and writer E. Max Frye pulled this off. It would be so easy to make a boring and predictable plot with a jealous husband who just got out of prison. This wasn't the case at all. When the trio is complete, the chemistry shown between them is spellbinding. Ray Liotta brings in the element of danger and shit just gets REAL. Ray Sinclair is absolutely my favorite character, it gets dark when that guy walks in. </b></span></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

Such a raw and beautiful ending. In fact, the music from this movie gets 40 points alone. You can clearly understand that this is also an important part of the movie and that the songs and live music were chosen with care. For me, this is a must-watch movie from the 80's that will always remain fresh. I feel really glad to close our tribute week to Ray Liotta with it.

May I start by thanking you for your talent for finding something very rare. That's what happened with the film Sticky Notes by director Amanda Sharp. There is not even a photo of her on IMBd, and it becomes sad that neither her nor this movie received the attention that it deserved. She made a very touching movie that perfectly mixes comedic and sad moments.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: OVERLOOKED AND UNDERRATED!!! With that shout I start our movie talk about our 4th movie in our Ray Liotta's tribute week. This is a fantastic movie and it seems like someone is trying to hide it! Who is director Amanda Sharp?? Like you said, there's nothing online about her! She directed and wrote a magnificent movie about the love between a daughter and a dying father. Even though I enjoyed every minute of this film, I didn't become totally convinced of its greatness until the last scene. I can only say WHOA! I was suspicious about what was revealed, but still it came as a surprise! After finishing it, I could watch the movie all over again with the new perspective it gave me.</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

I think this was the first movie in the last decade I've seen with him. He was great as this non-politically correct immature father. But, who really shined was the main character played by an actress best known for TV shows like "Game of Thrones" and other stuff that I don't care about. I've only seen Rose Leslie once, and it was in the series "Utopia" (UK version). She's talented and a real hottie. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I will probably watch "Game of Thrones" after all.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">K: I noted to myself that Ray Liotta has a gut feeling for great films. In this film, he plays the father of the main character, Athena - Jack Morehead. He brilliantly plays a person with lung cancer who continues to smoke a gigantic amount of cigarettes a day and invigorates despite a terrible diagnosis. He is caustic and demanding of his daughter (during the scene where he snaps at her in the elevator because she was late - I felt uncomfortable as much as she did). Despite this, he loves her endlessly. Rose Leslie did a dramatically great job as a daughter who is trying to figure herself out and how to grow up.</span></b></div></div></span></span><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

1873. <span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Article 99 is a 1992 American comedy-drama film directed by Howard Deutch and written by Ron Cutler. It was produced by Orion Pictures and stars Kiefer Sutherland, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker, John C. McGinley, Rutanya Alda and Lea Thompson. The soundtrack was composed by Danny Elfman. The film's title supposedly refers to a legal loophole, which states that unless an illness/injury is related to military service, a veteran is not eligible for VA hospital benefits.

Article 99 excessively fantasizes with the idea of human kindness and empathy. I could roll with it in the beginning and was able to cast my natural cynicism aside and believe in the intentions of our main characters. But, when you get near the end, that kindness is already on Pluto, simply too much. I even bet that the hospital director, after the credits roll, had a change of heart and had a group hug with all his former doctors after apologizing for being the only douchebag in the movie.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>K: Wow, Freddie!

I can say with confidence that they overdid it with sweetness. And it may even have been Howard Deutch's intention. He made a satire to laugh about the rotten American bureaucracy in the medical system.

2084. <span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sonatine is a 1993 Japanese yakuza film directed, written and edited by Takeshi Kitano, who also stars in the film. It won numerous awards and became one of Kitano's most successful and praised films, garnering him a sizable international fan base. The title Sonatine comes from the musical term sonatina. Kitano said that when learning the piano, when the learner gets to sonatinas they have to decide where they want to go, whether it is to classical, jazz or popular music; marking the point of crucial decision making. This refers to the character Murakawa in the film.

2118. <div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">K: So, the list of Kitano films we watched continues to grow. This time we had an absolutely amazing picture - Sonatine, a movie about the life of the Yakuza. I expected to see a lot of gang warfare, blood and violence. Instead, Kitano showed us a sad movie about people who have chosen their path and are forced to go through it to the end, taking bitter pills and sowing very little human happiness.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: That's right, today we are getting deeper into Yakuza territory. The not-so glamorous life of a gang from Tokyo is what we follow in this movie. As I mentioned in the previous post, here we have Takashi Kitano again, now as the director and the starring actor. I enjoyed the movie. I like its serene pace, it got me in that same nihilist mood of the characters; death doesn't matter much, and vengeance feels like a dull task. Like Murakawa says, "When you are scared all the time, you reach a point where you wish you were dead". After years of violence, they seemed dead inside, alright.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

2130. </span><div><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b>K: The film evokes very strong feelings. This is the second Kitano film for me where he does not use people's emotions. As such, there is no crying or wild screams. All feelings are conveyed by amazingly beautiful "silent" shots and unique music by Joe Hisaishi. How much pain, tearing apart the main character is in the flickering of his automatic rifle? The incomparable part of the film where the Yakuza goof off like kids - depicts folk dances, sumo wrestling, showers in the rain and traps in the sand. This part is funny and painfully sad, as it feels like this is all the last time.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div></span></span><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: That's what I enjoyed most about the movie, the comedy. The time that the gang spends monkeying around that beach house is very entertaining and I started to feel empathy for the characters. Especially for Ken (Susumu Terajima). "Ken" was the number 2 in this gang as he was in the gang from the previous movie, "Kids Return". That was a fun detail. The action scenes have a strangeness to them and seem like straight out of a bad action movie from the 80's; amateur, that is. No one moves or acts like they want to survive. So again, they probably just wish to die in these shoutouts.</b></span></div><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div>

2190. <span face="Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Kids Return is a 1996 Japanese film written, edited and directed by Takeshi Kitano. The film was made directly after Kitano recovered from a motorcycle accident that left one side of his body paralyzed. After undergoing extensive surgery and physical therapy, he quickly went about making Kids Return amidst speculation that he might never be able to work again. It stars Ken Kaneko and Masanobu Ando. The music was composed by Joe Hisaishi, and the cinematographer was Katsumi Yanagishima.

2224. <div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">K:Hey Freddy! This week we are watching 90s Japanese crime movies, and this is the first movie we watched, "Kids Return", directed by Takeshi Kitano. I liked it! For me, this is a fantastic story about friendship, about the plus and the minus, which, in their combination, provide the dynamics of being, saturating everything with vital energy. The power of friendship between hooligans, Masaru (Ken Kaneko) and Shinji (Masanobu Andō), maintains the vibrancy of life in the surrounding space, which at the beginning of the film is effervesce: riding a bike, pranks on the roof, skipping school - all of this is associated with youth and freedom. It is also about losing a friend, and how we can lose the meaning of life and not find a dream to pursue. And, of course, this is a film about choice, about how we all tried to find meaning after school. Some people find it; some people don't.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hey Krasnaya. I think we're going to keep seeing Takeshi Kitano around here this week. This might as well be Takeshi Kitano week, since the guy dominates the 90's crime movie scene in Japan, it seems. We start gently with this comedy-crime movie. There isn't much violence and much focus on the Yakuza in this one. There are a couple of bloody scenes, but they are nothing compared to today's standards. They do nothing to our long-desensitized minds. The movie feels very naive and a bit cringy sometimes. Some scenes seem out of a child's mind, especially the comedy bits. For me, that made the movie feel even more nostalgic to what it already was just because of having been made in the 90s. It reminded me of simpler times, where you had to be constantly worried about bullies beating you up instead of harassing you in Tik Tok. Everyone is a bully in this movie. There's nowhere to run if you are the weakest link.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div></span><div><span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">

I enjoyed the soundtrack also. But what I enjoyed the most was visiting the places in this lost suburb of Tokyo: the boxing gym, the coffee shop, the streets, the school, etc. The movie does a good job in capturing a feeling of time and place through our two main characters and their little daily adventures. Maybe it does so because of Kitano's semi-biographical aspect. I found that after watching it. The boxing scenes were also pretty nifty. A  large part of the movie is spent on boxing fights, so if you are a fan, I say that you're going to like it. Go sports!

2246. <div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;">F: I like where the movie ends. Nothing special came about. Masaru and Shinji get some life experience and their colleague dies in a car accident. I like that message. Shy boy Hiroshi (Michisuke Kashiwaya) worried about studying, about getting a good job and, in the end, he dies. Masaru and Shinji don't care much about the future and live in the present moment doing whatever they feel like. Their life goes on and it's just beginning like Shinji suggest in the end scene. Sometimes we need to be like that, just stop worrying and go make someone empty their pockets and give you their lunch money. 😛  Also, an important part of the movie for me, is that you never get to see these boys' parents. I was wondering at times and thinking that maybe they were orphans. Maybe if their parents were around for some guidance, Masaru wouldn't succumb so easily to peer pressure and Shinji wouldn't be such a bonehead?</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><b>K: I would recommend Kitano's film for viewing.

Seeing that the action begins with scenes of coprophagia, I decided that nothing good would come of it. As a result, the film came out quite well - very energetic and provocative. A nonsense film, and a prank film.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>F: Hey Krasnaya! I thought the same about that opening scene. Cooking dog shit was not a good sign and I was very reluctant about this movie up until the market store scene. I was not convinced by the 3rd grade type of humor, amateur acting and strange editing gimmicks. But, after that scene with the gun and the pigeon, shiiiiiiat, it felt like I had reached the drop of an extreme roller coaster and there was no stopping. I was finally convinced by the 2 brothers, who looked like Beavis and Butthead or Loyd and Harry on STEROIDS. From that moment on I would tear up laughing just looking at them.</b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Today, when I think about Zabulon's (Harpo Guit) photo session or his romantic scene, I can't help but laugh out loud.

Constantly running and very hungry brother-idiots turned out to be very funny with those shabby costumes from the 80s and all of their extreme ridiculousness. The musical accompaniment and camera work are cool, they set off all the absurdity of what is happening. </b></span></div><div style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div></span></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>F: That duet is simply beautiful together.

These kids are hungry; they aren't able to eat. That's the biggest joke present during the whole movie. You have to remind yourself of that every second.

If you can't find it funny, the fact that the father of the dumbest Brusselian duo is a PEZ dispenser collector, then we just can't be good friends . This movie is only 70 minutes, but so many things happen in this small Brussels world that it seems longer.

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

1. Download the "valid Atom 1.0" banner.

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A//www.cineit.blog/feeds/posts/default/-/Comedy"><img src="valid-atom.png" alt="[Valid Atom 1.0]" title="Validate my Atom 1.0 feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:
