K. Waste posted:The thing that's most fascinating about how bad the vast majority of film criticism is, is that when a higher-end-of-mediocre movie catches them off guard, it's like it sparks the thankless process of tripping over yourself trying to explain why you liked something that really wasn't very good. You end up like the sad bastard who unwittingly reveals that he just brings up Bava because he's supposed to. It's fitting that this is the second Annabelle movie drawing that kind of bashful breathlessness in its praise, because the last horror film I recall that happening to was the second Ouija

Yes, let's replace Charlton Heston with a dude barely known for playing a murderous WWI vet with half a face. Most discussion of that movie last year basically came down to "Who's playing Ben-Hur? ...who?"

And directed by the guy who directed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the Linkin Park: Powerless music video and this Roger Corman sexplopitation swords-n-sandals cheapie starring Playboy models:  (But he also co-wrote & directed Nightwatch and Daywatch back when he was working in Russia which were pretty good ...)

He was still a reeeeally weird choice to head up a $100 million straightlaced biblical epic. Well, unless that Roger Corman sexplopitation gladiator movie he directed was way way way more epic and historically accurate than I've assumed.

got any sevens posted:He helped make Hardcore Henry too iirc that fills in a good chunk of the blanks for me, as to why Hardcore Henry is a hundred times worse than Ilya Naishuller's music video work i figured it was just that the conceit doesn't really hold up for 90 minutes whereas it's fuckin' awesome in 5, but honestly if that dude was involved, yeah, I get it

I'd 100% rather watch that than a modern Ben-Hur remake. Taking-the-weird-parts-literally biblical epics like Noah should be the only ones allowed.

Chris Columbus just splashed water all over the Gremlins 3 rumor so it's multiplying all over the web again. Now in twisted and dark form:quote:Speaking with /Film about the festival hit Patti Cake$, which he produced, Columbus said his script asks a question which may have been on fans’ minds since the original: if all the gremlins come from getting Gizmo wet and feeding his mogwai offspring after midnight, should Gizmo be eliminated? http://www.slashfilm.com/gremlins-3-has-been-written/

The trick they used to create a cheering crowd in the same shot as the arena track during the race is really awesome.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:to be fair the first Gremlins is pretty loving dark and twisted for a kids' movie The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas... is the darkest thing in a movie that they knew tons of kids were going to see. The only thing barely comparable is the advertisements for Pan's Labyrinth tricked a lot of parents who didn't notice the R rating into showing a very brutal real world wraparound story to their kids before they got up and left. But most would have peaced out when the subtitles rolled so I still put Gremlins on the top of the list. That monologue is straight up mean.

K. Waste posted:Crank literally has a comedic public rape scene. Which High Voltage then turns on its head by recreating the scenario, but removing all sexual agency from Chelios whatsoever and almost flipping the script. Crank is edgy as gently caress, but it knows what it's doing and is going for something with it. Hardcore Henry, meanwhile, kind of strips the cleverness from it and just feels kind of brutal.

Hardcore Henry is a gently caress you to video games basically, and a gently caress you to those who make those games where the woman is the prize. Like how many games, especially first person shooters have a hot chick be your girl, and you have to save her because she's your girl. This movie says gently caress you and throws you out of a helicopter.

The music video Naishuller did for Weeknd gets to that idea faster and more precise but both of them strike me as more of a "bitches, maaaan" message than anything

I mostly know Hardcore Henry because Payday 2 has the best character from it playable as a tie-in. And a pretty good heist where they reskin the cops as Russian mercenaries.
