Triumph of meanness

    Big Game, 2014

    Film is intentionally made ridiculous, some dialogs really deliver.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    White Squall, 1996

    It could be good proper film, but it is not. Something is wrong with every part - scenery, actors, performance, idiotic scenes, bad editing. Focus on looks also ruined everything, as looks is not all. You just do not care for anyone and in such film it means total disaster.

    Better check Wolfgang Petersen films instead of this.

    MR. Robot, series

    Compilation of so otter crap, it is just strange how it was released to such wide audience.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Run All Night

    Very bad script, same quality dialogs full of stupid stamps, badly written and acted characters.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Jurassic world

    Whole movie you live with only hope... that all main characters (preferably with director and film crew combined) will be eaten.

    And this all end up with huge disappointment.

    Mad Max: Fury Road

    Well, it is not masterpiece, far from it.

    But if you have big 3D projector or TV and want complete 100% brain rest during watching - it will do fine.

    Finally moved to Triumph of meanness topic (just due to complete lack of logic), but as authors never attempt to use your brains, I think it is quite safe for them.

    She's Funny That Way

    Film has huge issues with script and dialogs writing.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    KUNG FURY

    All in one.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Happy-Go-Lucky

    Exceptional specimen. Of true rare breed conceived by writer and raised by director without any adults to oversee.
    True artists madness. Paired with some good parts, full of aping and some horrible casting.

    Home Sweet Hell

    For dark comedy you need good script, good actors and you need style (Keeping Mum as example).
    Sometimes actors tried to pull it from the mud but it was too heavy work.

    The illusionist did a fair job of replicating what Houdin's blooming Orange Tree or the Pepper's Ghost would have looked like to the audiences of the time using totally alien methods (cgi). The Prestige made up a fake set of 'rules' and mechanical devices that illusionists don't use, and then took things into the realm of sci-fi. I used to be a professional magician. Both films came out in 2006 and great debates erupted in the magic community at the time.

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @VK Watch "The Prestige". Great film, great story. "About" magic but really just involves two competing magicians.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    The Illusionist

    Good idea (original story) made into nonsense describing drunk director with absence of logic using 21 century computer effects and lot of characters talking about "magic" in the same time. Btw, it is now cliché used in any modern film about illusionists.
    Almost forgot, we also have typical view considering ruling and power from writers and directors POV.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Ex Machina

    Another attempt of stupid writers to make something about AI.
    I have no idea why it always results in super dumb films with high pretense.
    Horrible dialogs, horrible pacing. Everything here is horrible.
    And always with naked robots you can fuck (main feature!).

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Kingsman: The Secret Service

    Real triumph of meanness. Lacking script, bad humor and lot of money wasted into shit. Whole crew with director used heavy drugs here. Ending is especially sad, as this alternate reality had at least one good idea (I mean killing all the stupid people they showed us).

    Last year Hollywood perfected methods in making shit and buying them big ratings.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Focus

    Criminals, stars, big pretense, good cars and.. horrible script with bad acting.
    Whole thing make no sense from start to finish, being set of overused stamps and foolish turns.
    Guys, put this motherfuckers in jail and make from it good drama about their hard life.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Btw, most people do not get what Chappie is about. Well, it is about modern people, stupid and believing that mass media tells them (despite publically stating how smart they are :-) ).

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Chappie

    Extremely good fitting member in the list. Stupid robot with "intelligence" made by the company where only one young guy is not stupid clerk or manager (another one more or less smart guy is just nuts). Of course, company compensated it, by setting salary of only one man who know something to be minimum allowed. And placed his desks in center of support call center.

    Even more stupid gangsters. And why he was not in the family of top bank managers? They are more criminal, but at least they have few brain parts undamaged by drugs still.

    Now, tell me. What is simpler? Invent method of transforming all the mind contents in completely another form (all in few hours)? Or replace battery or find good doctor?

    "The Oprah-fication of recreational S&M".

    It can be summed up by one just one word - shit. Yet original book has very clear audience - average, unattractive, quite old woman with family and children, lack of education and any knowledge about sex. Someone who thinks that human value are given to us by god, and who are 100% certain that she does not have that she deserves.

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    Haven't seen 50 Shades of Gray, and I won't...but I get the feeling it can be summed up by "The Oprah-fication of recreational S&M".

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Fifty Shades Of Grey

    This shit comes from the book that "originated as fan fiction based on the..... Twilight novels".
    Mine fucking god.

    Good advice - do not spend even minute of your precious time on this shit. Better go and download some porno movie. At least it has content, clear target and extremely simple logic. This shit lacks all three of this things.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Kidnapping Mr. Heineken

    Not very good movie. With some good idea to show only one perspective.
    But also with trying to slightly mix up reality (as in reality someone told police everything).
    And in reality most of the money where never found.
    We do not know if actual guys were just used by someone.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Into the Wild

    Good sample for collections, almost forgot about this one :-)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Jupiter Ascending

    I think it is best ode to free capitalism and stupidity. Example of money waste.

    Two in one, as Head&shoulders. But I am not sure that head was used during production of this.

    Life is an act of consumption. To live is to consume.

    Now, the human beings on your planet are merely a resource waiting to be converted into capital.

    The Dyatlov Pass Incident

    Insane shit "based on true story".

    Check http://www.alpklubspb.ru/ass/dyatlov.htm and http://romantic-ustu.ru/Книги for sane and much more interesting thing (in Russian).
