<b>1. Big Clock (1948)</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> The original of which NO WAY OUT(Kevin Costner) is a remake. A fine-tuned crime thriller, notable for the contrast between the grossness of the villain & his act and the neat elegance of the hero and plotting. <b>A-</b><br />

<b>2. Against All Odds</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> Remake of OUT OF THE PAST. A neon-noir with Jeff Bridges being as lovable as James Woods is loathsome(but not without reason). Between them is a fallen woman who can tip either way, all for love or all for security. Too many loose screws unlike the tightly constructed original but works as mix of romance and travelogue. And it has the great Phil Collins song. <b>B</b><br />

</b> <b>3. Domino</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> The latest Brian De Palma has almost everything relevant to those concerned about the future of Europe. There is the problem of BAMMAMA(Blacks are more muscular and more aggressive), ACOWW(Afro-Colonization of White Wombs), growing Arab presence, radical Islamic terrorism, CIA footprints around the globe(that leads to Invade-Invite), culture of betrayal for self-fulfillment, the power of personal vengeance, and etc. What it doesn't mention is the Jewish Factor, but then De Palma works for Jewish Hollywood. Far from De Palma's best films, especially with its thinly etched characters but delivers the goods as action thriller. FEMME FATALE was a much better work in this vein. <b>B-</b><br />

<b>4. I am the Cheese</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> This cheapie production is always engrossing to watch. In retrospect, one might characterize it as MULHOLLAND DR. for juniors. Sad story of personal tragedy wrapped in conspiratorial plot that is exceedingly dark about the powers-that-be, the kind of perspective abandoned by the so-called Left but picked up by alternative spheres of the 'right' in recent years. <b>B</b><br />

</b> <b>5. True Believer</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> This movie has the shopworn cliches of courtroom drama. A cynical lawyer seeks personal redemption by fighting for justice for an innocent man framed for murder. It has some howlers as well, such as Neo-Nazis romping around the big city as major players in violence... but then, it was made by Jewish Joseph Ruben. Most memorable are the James Woods' pelting performance that is in equal measure annoying & exhilarating and the relative absence of easy villains. Though there is a side to root for, we get a portrait of a fallen world where justice is compromised by all sides. In that, it functions as a useful metaphor for the world we live in. <b>B</b><br />

<b>6. Tuff Turf</b><br />
<br />
When I first saw this in high school, I thought it was a cool movie. Seeing it again, I can see why it was universally panned by critics. It's really stupid. But I still like it. James Spader plays a romantic hero who snatches the girl(the whore-with-a-heart-of-gold type) from a bunch of ethnic ruffians. C-<br />

<b>7. Black Hawk Down</b><br />
<br />
A solid work of logistics by Ridley Scott. He was less director than commander of this film. But beside the action, there is little of interest. After awhile, the only thought in my mind was 'people with guns kill people with guns'. Dramatically, about as interesting as watching a bunch of kids playing cops and robbers with toy guns. <b>B+</b><br />

</b> <b>8. St. Elmo's Fire</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> This film was savaged by critics for good reason. It is awful in just about every way. And yet, it is a fascinating case study of how promising material can go so wrong. Unlike a whole bunch of Brat Pack movies, this was clearly a labor of love by Joel Schumacher who isn't without talent. Perhaps his excessive enthusiasm favored feelings over sense. Result is more like Tickle-Me-Elmo's-Fire. With a better cast(or sounder control over them), fewer cheap shots, and sturdier script, this could have been something like THE GROUP by Sidney Lumet that, though no masterpiece, is certainly quality work about the lives of graduates of an elite women's college. ST. ELMO'S FIRE is a terrible movie that I sort of like. <b>C</b><br />

</b> <b>10. To Live and Die in L.A. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b> This William Friedkin action-thriller is so excellent in every way that, for me, it spoiled a lot of worthy but lesser movies for several years. Looking back, NO WAY OUT and MANHUNTER(by Michael Mann) are pretty decent movies, but I tended to compare every new action movie with TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. for the rest of the 80s. But it was like comparing every mountain to Everest. <b>A+</b><br />

<b>11. Alita: Battle Angel </b><br />

</b> Awful in every way. It has some arresting images, but this overt hybrid of live-action and CGI is mostly confused, meandering, and ugly. Could James Cameron have made a better movie? Maybe. He made THE TERMINATOR. Maybe not. He made AVATAR. The Alita character is especially hideous as a combo of real face and anime eyes. That's just freaky. <b>D+</b><br />

</b> A very stupid mix of Female GHOSTBUSTERS and Andrei Tarkovsky's STALKER. Stupidity is often forgivable(and even fun) in cinema but never when pregnant with Meaning.

The silver lining to this movie is maybe it will encourage more Jewish girls to go black and bring down the Jewish race. <b>D</b><br />

</b> <b>15. Ben Is Back</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> There is art and there is propaganda. Art seeks truth, propaganda pushes a message. And then, there is what might be called Prop-art-ganda or Prop-Art, a work that mimics Art Film tropes but really pushes propaganda. BEN IS BLACK is a sneaky jungle-fever propaganda slipped sideways into the narrative. The core story is about a white mother trying to save her white son from drugs and gangs. But this caring woman is married to a Groid who is presented as the most upright citizen you can imagine. Now, if this white woman cares so much about her white son, why the hell did she turn race-traitor and go with a Groid? Did it ever occur to her that maybe her son is so lost and messed up because his mother is a stupid mudshark? Prop-Art is targeted at 'educated elites'(who crave status markers) with the full understanding that most people don't care for 'art films'. But since the elites control of the levers of society, their cultural staple does indirectly affect mass culture. Prop-Art feigns interest in truth but beneath the veneer of 'rawness of reality' or 'deepness of thought', it pushes hoary PC cliches. It's also worth noting that white women are like pack dogs operating on group-think. It used to be the trendy thing among white women was Adopt-a-Niglet(preferably from Africa), and now, the new pack-trend is Hump-a-Groid. With movies like <b>Mounting Between Us</b>, <b>United Kingdom</b>, and many others(and many others to come), the Jewish virus in white women's minds tell them, "Black men are superior while white men suck, and nothing is cooler and nobler than to have my white womb colonized by black seeds." Jews are pushing massive Afro-sexual-imperialism against the white race. Instead of <i><span style="color: blue;">Ben is Back</span></i>, how about <i><span style="color: blue;">Ben's Mother Went Black</span></i>? <b>C-</b>Andrea Daley Utronebelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16162115338754124046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718904192491848873.post-62329701218466591672019-04-08T12:40:00.002-07:002019-04-08T12:55:09.598-07:00Arthur Rackham Tribute<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<br />
A dark movie about children based on a story by Stephen King and directed by competent but indistinct Rob Reiner. Re-watching it, I see all the same problems. The portraits of adult characters are especially risible. Still, it works as piece of nostalgia with equal servings of sweet and sour. Even works as NRA promotion with kids. Gun does save the day.<br />

<b>STAR TREK: <span style="color: red;">D+ </span></b><br />
<br />
Finally watched it or tried to. I got through about 15 min while fast-forwarding and skipping. Absolutely terrible. <br />

<b>PREDESTINATION: <span style="color: red;">A-</span></b><br />
<br />
A fascinating Trankenstein(Tranny-Frankenstein) movie with amazing serpentine plot loops. Even more amazing is how the story makes us care for these 'characters' on the human level despite the utter perversity of the circumstances within which they are simultaneously trapped and free. To know more is to be freer, but in knowing more comes the realization that we can't escape our fate. It's like the sense one gets when rising up in the air. A sense of liberation but also the realization of the world as a structured maze.<br />

<br />
<b>HOOP DREAMS: <span style="color: red;">A-</span></b><br />
<br />
Works on several levels. Cinderella story of inner-city black youths from troubled families striving to prove themselves. Sobering tale of the pursuit of athletic stardom as akin to lottery. Social document of a depressed black community and its ambiguous relation to whites who, despite their separateness, cscout for black prowess in athletics. Mostly balanced with no obvious heroes or villains, but we can't help notice a kind of Unintended Injustice borne of mass delusion and profiteering. Blacks, old and young, childishly look to sports stardom as core culture, and white agents & coaches scramble to recruit blacks as cash prize. Also, there is the paradox of race relations in the US, i.e. why and how whites are both repulsed and attracted to black athletic superiority. On the one hand, black muscularity can intimidate or attack weaker whites, leading to white flight. But universal sports-obsession as the main expression of globo-Americanism means even whites in fear of black muscle will seek out black 'heroes' to represent their institutions.<br />

Sci-fi with a fascinating premise and above-average intelligence treatment, which isn't saying much. There are some fine moments, but Christo-Nazi-as-evil-incarnate is a Jewish dirty trick, and the movie is even more insufferable as propaganda for the Clinton Cult. A story about the search for truth should never get too close to politicians.<br />

Mostly Jewish BS. Yes, wealth and narcissism are out of control, but the REAL danger is not conspicuous consumption but the tribal nature of our current elites. After all, powerful elites who spend frugally can be just as dangerous as the ones who splurge on gold necklaces and yachts. Mere piggery didn't lead to Iraq War, destruction of Syria, and new 'cold war' with Russia. But, the Jewess who made this movie mostly focuses on a handful of grotesque goyim and keep featuring Donald Trump as a special embodiment of ugly capitalism. Yes, Trump is a crass boor of a sick culture spiraling into the abyss, but if <b>he</b> is such an exemplar of globalist greed and power, why do the elites hate him so? Isn't it because he addressed certain populist concerns during the campaign? But don't expect the hideous Jewess who made this movie to ask such questions.<br />

<b>LOVING PABLO: <span style="color: red;">B+</span></b><br />
<br />
A fun movie about how a Latin bimbo's life became enmeshed with the ups and downs of one of the most notorious globo-gangsters of the 20th century. The plotting is by the book, and the performances, though good all around, seem rather routine. <br />
Though surely not intended as such, it could serve as an allegory of what really rules the world, America included: Gangterism. After all, even though the world-wide Deep State brought Escobar down, it employs gangsterism of its own to bring entire nations down and economically loot others. At this point, who can deny that that the US is essentially the Prize Bull of the Jewish Mafia, a bunch of outlaws with all the lawyers?<br />

<b>OPEN YOUR EYES: <span style="color: red;">A-</span></b><br />

The movie that inspired VANILLA SKY is immeasurably superior. It makes us wonder if the primary purpose of eyes is to look at faces. Eyes are to the face what the penis is to the vagina, the difference being both male and female have the penetrating gaze that would rather remain on the surface.<br />

<b>GOTTI: <span style="color: red;">B-</span></b><br />
<br />
Less good than LOVING PABLO but an entertaining movie about famed mafia boss John Gotti, the Teflon Don. Travolta isn't very convincing as a cruel heartless bastard but does a creditable enough job. Fun but forgettable. One depressing realization from watching the latest slew of gangster movies is how much the culture has become accustomed to criminality as the New Normal. Gone is the element of shock and outrage that such figures could get away with so much repugnance in a society that takes pride in the rule of law. I suppose TV shows like SOPRANOS and BREAKING BAD helped some. Week in and week out, watching sicko crooks as America's Family.<br />

<b>THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS: <span style="color: red;">B</span></b><br />
<br />
A mostly straightforward documentary about a most interesting case of triplets (re)discovering each other and pondering the 'dark' forces that separated them in the first place. (Maybe ANNA TO THE INFINITE POWER is less sci-fi than we think.) It could have been a great work in the hands of someone with greater curiosity and philosophical query. If the story is relevant to us(most of whom are not twins or triplets), it's the sense that the reality that we take for granted is merely the tip of the iceberg. And our freedom is that of mice in a maze.<br />

Joyride as cautionary tale, one that actually works. A creative mind and hipster dude recruit two other guys from the middle class milieu to pull off a ridiculous heist involving rare library books. The crime itself is of less interest than complications around it and its aftermath dropping clues as to a culture infected with both excessive apathy and adventurism. Great film. <b>A</b><br />

<b>Hereditary</b><br />
Stylistically impressive horror that (all-too)consciously approximates the spellbinding hypnotics of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING. Ari Aster(the director) is halfway there as a visualist but lacks the focus of a mature artist who might have pulled the various threads together into a seamless whole. Too often, Ari Aster drops all considerations for the Effect. Still, there are several genuinely jarring moments, and the ultimate point of the story, that all our hysterics and obsessions about the world miss out on the real point of an hidden agenda, is well taken in our Age of Conspiracies. <b>B+</b><br />

<b>Dark River</b><br />
This is one of those all-too-common Art Films. Granted, it is good. Like many of its kind, there is the self-conscious reliance on less dialogue and more image. Much is suggested through mood & motions and use of space & details. Like many Art Films, it is set in a rural community in the modern world, accentuating the theme of how much the world has changed but so much remains the same. As the story unfolds, there are the usual uncomfortable truths about characters. Things are not what they seem. All very good but we've seen it all before, and frankly, I was bored through much of it. <b>B</b><br />

<b>All That Jazz</b><br />
A most extraordinary cinematic experience upon my first viewing as a child, Bob Fosse's semi-autobiographical musical now belongs in the category of less-than-meets-the-eye. In subsequent viewings(aided with more knowledge of world cinema), Fosse essentially came across as a derivative showman(than an original 'auteur') who, worse, didn't even care to steal from the best. Much of ALL THAT JAZZ owes to Fellini-in-decline(post <b>8 1/2)</b>. Now, it looks more like All That Spazz. Jessica Lange(as angel of death?) has to deal with an ego bigger than King Kong. Musical numbers are like schmaltzy cross between Broadway and Disco. By the way, do we want high-concept Art associated with something as cheesy as Broadway? Fosse's reputation as dance choreographer rests mainly on mannerisms with flickering jazz-hands and rotating hamhock thighs and jiggling jello buns. Maybe that was original at one time, but it's not my cup of tea. Still, there's lots of heart in this movie, and it's sure to please many first-time viewers. <b>B</b><br />

<b>Something Wild</b><br />
One of those films I feel the same now as on first viewing. This is a masterpiece, Jonathan Demme's greatest work(based on the brilliant screenplay of E. Max Frye). Sadly, it was his last triumph as an artist. Sure, he made big bucks and won lots of prizes with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, a sleazy piece of sensationalism, and became a darling of the Libby-Dib set with PHILADELPHIA. But before he became an A-list director of Big Bucks and Big Themes, he was one of the most quirkiest directors who, however, didn't wear his oddball sensibility on his sleeve. His approach was both gentle and penetrating, empathetic and cautionary. His vision was of small characters navigating through obstacles of power(institutional or criminal), albeit one bridged by false but happy(and perhaps necessary) fantasies expressed through pop culture ranging from mainstream to alternative. Ultimately, it's not about replacing lies with truth but accepting the truth that lies are all around us like germs and, with that realization, making the best of things. <b>A+</b><br />

<b>Sollers Point</b><br />
A bogus 'art film' about the hard-knocks world of 'white trash' side of Baltimore directed by some cuck-faced dork. The white lead(who looks like Andrew Anglin) is apparently not so bad because he used to have a black girl-friend and still has feelings for her. And he seems to be 'cool' with the Brothas or, at least, tries to be. Meanwhile, all the nasties are 'white trash' hoodlums who act like Gary Oldman in TRUE ROMANCE. Ironically, the 'white trash' hoodlums do little else than imitate rap culture and act like 'whiggers'. So, are we to believe blacks are cool but whites who imitate blacks are 'fool'? Technically, reasonably well-made and well-acted. But bogus. <b>C</b><br />

<b>Last Rampage</b><br />
There are two ways to approach this movie. As a message to white boys and white women not to slavishly obey and follow the Tough White Male. Based on an actual story, LAST RAMPAGE is about three loyal and adoring sons who break their sociopathic father out of prison. Though not evil themselves, their admiration of their Tough Hombre Pa has blinded them to his wicked ways. (Still, despite the man's plain-as-day wretchedness, one can understand why others look to him as a leader of men.) Another way to regard this movie is as an allegory of the dark side of Old Testament teachings where sons are supposed to obey their fathers just like the Tribe must heed the commands of God(as spoken through the Prophets) without question. I'm not sure the allegory works because the father in the movie is clearly a crazy monster, whereas patriarchs in the Old Testament were sometimes confronted with the hard choice of necessary evil. <b>B</b><br />

<b>SHATTERED GLASS</b><br />
Feels fresh every time. The main character is despicable but pitiable, but is he worthy of our pity? Is his pathology a moral failing, a symptom of the culture, or a mental issue? If all of the above, in which combination? Far from a great movie, it nevertheless delivers what it sets out to deliver. As with GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, the directorial personality is subdued in service to script and characters. A clear case that Auteur Theory is sometimes irrelevant in the making of a good movie. <span style="color: red;">B+</span><br />

<b>FLOWER</b><br />
A well-made movie about insipid trashy girls with moronic parents who wreck everything around them for infantile thrills.

<b>BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER</b><br />
Seen it again. Along with Darren Aronofsky's MOTHER!, a masterpiece that proves cinema is alive. The fact that this film got mixed reviews while stuff like BLACK PANTHER and LAST JEDI got near raves shows the utter decrepitude of our cultural scene. One of the most unsettling films about the nature of evil and the dark mystery of seduction amidst tragedy. <span style="color: red;">A</span><br />

<b>JOSIE</b><br />
Another worthless trash like FLOWER though not as scatter-brained. As with FLOWER, it tries to rationalize hedonism and nihilism with pseudo-moralism. In FLOWER, the girls' hi-jinks are supposed to somewhat 'rad' because they prey on weak men given to sexual perversion. The torture porn element of JOSIE is supposed to be morally justified on grounds of its anti-death-penalty message. Selling nihilism with a veneer of moral outrage is all too common in our culture where rappers are promoted as prophets and comedians pose as newsmen. As dishonest as HARD CANDY. Films such as these haven't the courage of BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER that admits to the seductive pull of evil and nihilism. <span style="color: red;">D+</span><br />

<br />
<b>METROPOLITAN</b><br />
Never gets old even though it's an old-fashioned tale. Perhaps, old-fashioned is synonymous with timeless, the tried and true. The 1980s was the decade of John Hughes cartoonish teen comedies and the Horny Teenager movies. 1990 began with this gem and instant classic, Whit Stillman's first film, a smart tale of young socialites searching for love and meaning. Stillman is no puritan but finds principles invaluable in a world of rising puerility. The lead character Tom Townsend is introduced as a soft-spoken radical who finds the socialite setting silly and frivolous but is later seen snubbing the aristocrat Von Sloneker for dismissing the televised socialite ball as not serious. In the end, a socialist turns chivalrous while the aristocrat is shown wallowing in frat-boy antics. Not that Tom suddenly came around to appreciating elitism, but his critique of the upper class was at least grounded in principles, and principles govern his behavior regardless of his shifting views. In contrast, Von Sleneker's dismissal of the socialite scene owes to his being even less serious than what he sneers at. It's as if one's character counts more than class or ideology. Socialist or Socialite, Townsend has a sense of scruples and honor, even though his righteousness sometimes blinds him to his unintended insensitivity to others. The difference is those with scruples at least make an effort to make amends and rise higher, whereas Von Slonekers of the world think the world revolves around them. <span style="color: red;">A</span><br />

<br />
<b>NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA</b><br />
Franklin Schaffner made two movies that became highly significant cultural events of the late 60s and early 70s: PLANET OF THE APES and PATTON. Perhaps, Schaffner never got the credit of someone like David Lean or Luchino Visconti because he was deemed an 'impersonal' professional than an auteur with personal vision. One could argue PLANET OF THE APES is essentially the work of the novelist Pierre Boulle and Rod Serling & Michael Wilson as screen-writers. And Schaffner's role in PATTON was regarded much like Victor Fleming's for THE WIZARD OF OZ and GONE WITH THE WIND: Hired Hand who ably carried out the vision of others. For some reason, NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA failed at the box office and got mixed reviews from critics. This is unfortunate because it is one of the best and most thoughtful middlebrow historical epics. By accident, PLANET OF THE APES, PATTON, and NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA became relevant to the Nixon years. The issues of race, class, war, power, and radicalism were colorfully brought to life in them. PATTON was Nixon's favorite movie, and his the fall of the Tsar in NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA anticipated the Watergate troubles that would undo Nixon's presidency. Of course, Nicholas and Nixon couldn't have been more different. Nicholas was a good man of middling intelligence who inherited the management of a vast empire in the most trying of times, whereas Nixon was a man of intelligence and knowledge who turned out to be his own Rasputin. Nicholas' political ills were like his son's condition. Once the regime began bleeding, it was difficult to patch the wound. This being the 100th anniversary of the killing of the Tsar and his family by Bolsheviks, this is worth a look. It's also relevant in our time of intense 'Russophobia' generated by nutty Jews. <span style="color: red;">A-</span><br />

<b>JEEPERS CREEPERS 3</b><br />
Based on his first two JEEPER CREEPER movies, Victor Salva seems like some cuck-fruiter perv. He's a promoter of interracism and was once convicted of pervy-pedo stuff. And his horror trilogy's villain may strike many viewers as essentially Freddy Kruger with wings. Whatever the case, there's no denying Salva is inventive, ingenious, and insanely gifted with an eye as sharp as that of Spielberg, Fincher, and Kevin Reynolds. He's like mondo-trasho Orson Welles, a wizard with shifting frames and composition. And some of his images are mind-blowing. And even though JEEPERS is pretty crude and trashy(like RESIDENT EVIL), there is something genuinely dark and demented about Salva's universe of terror. Unlike Sam Raimi who did EVIL DEAD series for kiddie laughter, the JEEPER series seems the result of someone doing battle with his inner demons. It's a pop-psychological glimpse into the soul of genuine nutjob. Perhaps, JEEPER CREEPER series is most comparable to the ridiculous PHANTASM series, but Salva actually knows how to make a movie. <span style="color: red;">B-</span><br />

<b>RISKY BUSINESS</b><br />
I didn't much care for this movie upon release, but watching it again a few times recently I was struck by its romanticism despite the sordid situation its main character Joel(Tom Cruise) descends into. "What the fuc*" is an expression of cynicism but also of freedom, the opportunity to dream. And the twist on the 'hooker with the heart of gold' is convincing given Joel's blend of sheltered privilege, youthful naivete, animal lust, and hope for the future. Tangerine Dream's narcotic score makes it even more dream-like. <span style="color: red;">A</span><br />

<b>DOUBLE LOVER</b><br />
Francois Ozon is an estimable director, and DOUBLE LOVER runs like a slick well-oiled machine from start to finish. But it all seems an empty exercise in style. The characters might as well be robots or mannequins. The plot twists that combine Hitchcock with Cronenberg come across as so many tired allusions or homages. Intelligence and ability in service of a blueprint than a script. <span style="color: red;">B-</span><br />

Michael Cimino's crime caper movie, released two years before the Bi-centennial, is a cynical action-portrait of human nature and American history. It begins with a church and ends with a one-room school house. It involves friends and war veterans. America, the land of God, Knowledge and Brotherhood of Man, is really about money(and anyway you can get it). And as the story traverses through natural wonders of Montana, there is the reminder that the land was stolen from Indians. Rating: A-<br />

<b>RAN.</b> Watched this upon release in 1985. Seen it several times since. It's like a beautiful bridge with a collapsed arch. The Lear-figure who has to shoulder the tragic weight simply recedes as character and remains as prop, resulting in an haphazard narrative of impressive but disjointed wonders.Ultimately, the greatest tragedy of RAN is it fails as tragedy. But as drama of power politics, betrayal, and revenge, it is a stunning achievement. Rating: A<br />

<b>DAZED AND CONFUSED</b>. Richard Linklater's surprising masterpiece never gets old. How such a loose story of kids taking it easy was made with such impeccable(and imperceptible) expertise and precision is truly amazing. An obvious labor of love made to seem effortless. It's like slacker on a tightrope. It has the directness of cinema-verite and the fine-tuning of a Swiss watch. Rating: A+<br />

<b>CLOVERFIELD</b>. Recently revisited this movie. Proof that even the most ludicrous premise can be made to work with the right blend of ingenuity and heart. The idea of a space monster smashing NY is far-fetched, so how does the movie grab hold of our senses to accept the fantastic as 'factual'? It begins with a perfect rendition of Home Movie where all the people and places are recognizable and familiar. Then, through traumatized glimpses of the horror that erupts into the lives of the well-situated characters, the audience is left with little room to process what is going on. Events become so outrageous and unpredictable that the Fear Factor takes over. We only think SURVIVAL. But then, just when the characters(and the audience) have been rendered most primal in their instinct for self-preservation, the story strikes a romantic chord as the male character ventures off to rescue a damsel-in-distress and is, touchingly enough, joined by friends who decide to risk their own lives in the spirit of camaraderie. So, the most brutal kind of action-horror takes on an element of sentimentality and fairy-tale. And it works because the characters have been rendered as 'real' and believable in the opening scenes prior to the horror. Also, the all too human theme of love-and-friendship maintains an air of veracity amidst the mounting craziness of a city being rudely rearranged by what looks like a Godzilla-sized alligator-snapping turtle without a shell. There is even poignancy in the subtle reminder of fragility of the 'real'. Just as NY is being turned into smithereens by the monster from nowhere, the old video footage(of happier times) is being erased by new footage(of the mayhem). If so much of our current 'reality' is electronic and manipulated, imagine all the 'realities' that are being made and unmade on a daily basis by countless individuals who create new worlds and wipe them clean by toying with a few buttons. Are we god-monsters too? Certain horror purists may argue that CLOVERFIELD works on surprise than on suspense, which requires more sophistication. But the conception and execution of CLOVERFIELD are pretty amazing and incredibly inventive, even if of a shallower nature. Rating: A-<br />

<b>HIDDEN FORTRESS</b>. This Kurosawa action-epic looks better than ever. It features a samurai order of sacrifice and obedience. Regal and majestic but also repressive and cold-blooded. Then, there is the hot-blooded world of commoners. Spontaneous and lively but coarse, crude, and treacherous. As the remnants of a fallen clan must trek through forests and villages disguised as ordinary people, the haughty princess comes to see what is most beautiful and ugly about humanity. And the two commoners, via their accidental role in aiding the princess to safety, comes to realize a value higher than petty greed. It was never one of my Kurosawa favorites, but seeing it on Blu-Ray, I recognize its greatness. Rating: A<br />

<br />
<b>PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST</b>. Watched about 20 min of this and had enough. One of those movies that beat you over the head with sermonizing. There are two kinds of religious films. Ones that get close to the source(before Christianity became a sure thing) and ruminate on the sheer difficulty of bringing forth a new faith. And ones that take for granted that Christ and Apostles were so holy and correct. Even though the latter may show lots of pain and suffering, there's a smug and lazy sense of righteousness and whose side God is on. It may work as theology but not as drama. THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, for all its faults, presents a Jesus who is troubled and uncertain as to his mission, purpose, and strength. From that arises a real sense of struggle that must be overcome dramatically. We are with a man in a world before he was canonized by officialdom. NOAH by Aronofsky is similarly provocative. In contrast, most religious films are merely self-satisfied in their retroactive renditions of a time when everything supposedly happened as it was deigned by God. There was no struggle toward holiness. Jesus and the Apostles were all holy and only needed to wait it out(and suffer a bit) before humanity came around to seeing their holiness. Rating: C-<br />

<b>THE RIGHT STUFF</b>. Based on the book by the late Tom Wolfe and directed by Philip Kaufman who, until then, was perhaps most famous for his version of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, a movie that also informed parts of THE WANDERERS, his best work. There is something Body-Snatcherish about THE RIGHT STUFF as well. America(and the world) is turning into the World of Organization Man. Soviets shoot rockets into space to hail the triumph of socialism and statism. US ramps up the space race, and the days of the cowboy test-pilots and individualists are over. It's the world of engineers and professionals. Against this, the Magnificent Seven do their best to retain the spirit that is human, heroic, and American. They refuse to be test-monkeys in space. They insist on being pilots. Is it a delusion? Maybe it's a dream. Excellent movie. But like Sidney Lumet's PRINCE OF THE CITY, a failure at the box office. Both films would be the last great work by the two directors. Rating: A<br />

I'm all for intelligent science-fiction films, but this isn't one of them. Like THE MARTIAN, this is one of those faux-intelligent movies for 'adult-minded' people. Some may compare it to GRAVITY, but Cuaron's movie worked its magic because it was big on action, emotion, & effects and let 'ideas' drift into space. There was too much happening in Cuaron's movie to 'think' about anything. <br />
In contrast, ARRIVAL is supposed to make us think and ponder. What about? Some giant stony half-eggs arrive from who-knows-where and invite humans to change notes. It turns out these alien being are giant squids(not unlike the squid monster in the Gamera movie DESTROY ALL PLANETS but kinder), and their message to humanity is a series of childish circles that they keep drawing over and over. But it's not just a squid story. It's a squid love story. There are two squids but one is sick, and squids can feel tragedy too, so they want to help humanity by promoting globalism. You see, China and Russia are belligerent and 'xenophobic' against the alien visitors, but goody-goody American 'liberal' scientists are so understanding and figure out some New Age flaky code as to why the squids are really doing what they doing. So, next time you think of the Jewish Octopus devouring the world, it is just spreading love. So, Germany should take in all those invaders 'refugees' and the entire world should tune into CNN and other Jewish-controlled globalist news.<br />
<br />
Though sold as 'intelligent' sci-fi, the movie's more noteworthy for its emotional chords. In UFO stories, we tend to think in collective terms of 'humans' and the Other. Where ARRIVAL deviates from its predecessors(with the possible exception of CONTACT) is in suggesting at the 'personal' among the alien beings -- not 'personal' in the sense of what a space alien may mean to us humans(as in E.T.) but to one another in a ways that are both mysterious and familiar.<br />
The woman comes to relate her own personal loss with the tragedy of the squid whose partner is ill. Until then, she only considered the squids as the collective 'them', the Other. But upon closer contact, she realizes each squid creature has its own 'personal' issues(possibly unbeknownst to other squid creatures). To her human peers, she is just a professional, a representative of America or the human race. And initially, she regarded the alien creatures as most of humanity did: The Strange Other. But through special contact with one, she becomes, at least in one respect, closer to it than to her own kind because of the commonality of experience: Tragic loss of dear one. Commonality of experience differs from commonality of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Only those who underwent the ordeal can really understand and belong. This is a lonely community as tragic experiences are always unexpected, universally occurring but only to particular 'chosen' individuals.<br />
And, it is this commonality of experience that prevents war-making by Chinese and Russians because a certain General Shang, it turns out, also lost a dear one and was especially touched by the message(a fusion of future and present) he received from the heroine. So, the film seems to be saying that, if we go beyond the collective identity and ponder the personal -- the Kodak moments of our lives, like in TREE OF LIFE -- , we will find a deeper connection with the universe marked by tragic beauty. On the other hand, what happened to Annakin Skywalker when he got so personally involved with Amidala? He went over to the Dark Side just to save his loved one.<br />
<br />
We are doomed no matter what.<br />

Victor Salva followed up JEEPERS CREEPERS with this sequel that is even more audacious, astonishing, and hair-raising in style and suspense. Salva's wicked creature is many times creepier than most horror villains(and funnier in a gross way, as Salva seems to be a student of George Romero and Sam Raimi of EVIL DEAD fame).<br />
Unfortunately, the movie feels a need to preach us a sermon about race(like Romero at his worst, as if to morally justify and overcome the tawdriness of the b-movie material), so we get the predictable scenario of how white kids and black kids must cooperate to survive the swooping attacks by the Alien-Monster-and-Freddy-the-Kruger-with-Wings. For anyone who knows something about race, this is rather comical. Surely, it's hard to conjure up horror worse than the ghastliness of feral Negroes. The white kids and the monster should have united to whup the Negroes.<br />

Its classic status owes to the dynamism of the performances, pacing, and details that was usually found in gangster movies and crime thrillers. A man wronged by the world can be just as riveting as a man who wrongs the world.<br />
