A Hologram for the King

As usual if you have no meaning in your film you need to mumble something about cultures conflict. Short version of the film - bad old western businessman is hired to sell unusable crap to rich oil guys, fails miserably and do few obvious things required by bad script in between.
And he is also not fully sure if it was good decision to move bikes production to China.

The Pursuit of Happyness, 2006

Quite good movie, but. If you turn your brains even for a minute - the veil will fall.

We have farther who badly invested all savings in weird stuff. He is not learning or obtaining skills, he is selling this stuff and it does not sell good. He can not plan ahead, just have illogical hope that things suddenly will change. And they don't.

Suddenly he see expensive sport car and get info that the owner is.. stockbroker.

Finally he has very good plan. Set all real things aside and go into interview to become... no, not broker, intern. Without any compensation for work. For quite long time. Without money and living on the street with small child. And without obtaining skills, again. Sounds not so smart? It is. As it is win-win for owners and lose-lose for interns.

Due to "hard work" he won lottery ticket, became stock broker, got millions, lives in big house and owns sport car. All bough for money of people who live same as he lived before. Each day around 30 people ask who he is. And he recommends amazing chance in interns program in his own firm. It is one year program, no compensation and you must bring more than one million profit to the company to make your application for future work reviewed. Around 90% of all applications are rejected anyway. Usually review committee ask failed applicants to apply for another year, but few agree. They are innate losers.

Except from reality

Chris and Jackie engaged in a 30-day drug induced sexual marathon. They did cocaine to enhance their pleasure. Chris even went back east to New York City to meet Jackie's relatives. After returning to San Francisco and discovering that Jackie was pregnant with his son, Chris told Sherry that he was leaving her. At one point in time he was drugs dealer. He beat his wife time to time.

Gardner did not know the whereabouts of Jackie and Chris Jr. for the first four months of his training. Gardner never emptied out his savings account and was earning money by scamming hotels.

When he was in the training program to become a stock broker Chris Gardner was paid $1,000 a month by Dean Witter. Dean Witter accepted almost all the trainees in reality.

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Film is really waste of anyone time.

US and EU destroyed most infrastructure, except oil and gas facilities. Turned country with best life level in Africa into tightly controlled criminal gangs heaven. Made never ending supply for organs, prostitutes and cheap workers for EU capitalists.

They also made in Benghazi (home of their best criminal friends) embassy and "secret" military and CIA base. Both had been used mostly to organize energy, resources and above mentioned traffic to developed countries.

So, we come to out "heroes". Our "heroes" want to rescue ambassador, but did not make it. No one know why, as they are supermans and each killed at least hundred or more idiots with AK-47. "Heroes" return to their base, and continue very hard shooting exercises killing 2 or 3 thousands of complete idiots. Yet 2 or 3 had brains and finally used mine-thrower. But they only had 3 or 4 mines, sadly. Final. Titles. ISIS and "failed state", blah, blah, blah. Our "heroes" are safe and with their loving families.

Yes, complete and utter bullshit.

The Finest Hours

Perfect sample for collection.

You have one big tanker, sinking. One hysterical girl of no use. And four idiots on amazing rescue mission. Almost forgot. They are also performing rescue mission on a boat that are unsuitable for this mission. As they know that mission is doomed anyway - they don't give a fuck and behave as elite yacht passengers during complete silence.
With time it became boring, so they played some time in "be submarine" game.
Without any navigation, just by pure luck and some gods help they found sinking tanker and got all people on board. Not all, but it does not matter, some did not love god good enough. Three times more than possible for boat, god helped and supported them.
God also silenced storm one minute after they asked.

Thanks god! Amen!

And all this is based on real story. Fuck.

Where to Invade Next

Stupid America elite always do stupid things, invade countries just for fun and always looses, as author of this film state. But..
Michael will do smart thing, he will bring home "smart ideas" to save America.

Well... shit. Film is stupid ode to idealism. Horrible misunderstanding that to make something you need huge number of real things to be present, huge number of restrictions to be met and you also need to do real(!) things. Just ideas do not worth anything. Thing that are referenced as bad in US are not bad because lack of idea, almost always they are bad because someone have profits from the way it works.

The Revenant

What can be result if some good camera operator living in Sahara desert and his always drunk and lonely wife wanted to shoot a film about bears and Alaska all by themselves?
This film.

No normal script, no even remote resemblance to actual survival in tough places (Mexican director was wise choice!), just lot of nature shots and DiCaprio... again (it should be Samuel L. Jackson as they planned it, I told you, Sahara tribe ideas are always wise).

The Last Witch Hunter

It is just impossible to explain all idiocy here, but if you are up to some particle effects you can watch few minutes.

Steve Jobs, 2015

Dream of theater actors is to do something like this.
Lots of strange "dramatic" talks without much reason and with pretense to get some nominations.

Home Invasion

Another good minimalistic and cheap sample.

Movie about non working criminals family without farther, who is.. well.. criminal, living in big house. And about bunch of morons who wanted to get very valuable something, just do it using weirdest approach possible. Yes, authors used everything possible to keep it longer than 5 minutes short (this is the length they have actual content for).

Cellular, 2004

Idea had some potential, but script and executing really fails.
You never care for anyone here. Just wish that Stathem kill each one.

The Brand New Testament, Le Tout Nouveau Testament

Real masterpiece of meanness.

Benoît Poelvoorde as god really delivers, really accurate god depiction according to George Carlin .

It is something like Amely just done to the limits of absurdity.

And as usual ToM masterpiece it is uncontrollable playground for "creativity" (it means that no sane adult ever saw the script or interrupted shooting process).

This comments are better than the movies all together ;-)

Absolutely agree on the rise of stupidity on movies, it looks like someone somewhere is trying to make ignorance and lack of reason a new human value...

Absolutely wise phrase in all senses "triumph-of-meanness", lets hope it doesn't propagate to all the cinema around the world.

There are still good movies around.
