Reservoir Dogs (1992)
deliberate unimaginative gratuitous violence as the message.
I had often heard what a great movie this was but after watching once only, in cinematic terms, this movie offers next to nothing; all I remember is actors acting like very bad guys doing very bad things to each other-a Tour De Force of violence; no art, no resonance, no message, no catharsis, no cinema; nothing but really stupid violence. I went away with that disappointed forever feeling, yuk, shrug, and ho-hum. I know I'm castigating the heart of what made this film so well known but this is the way I see it. I think it takes more than just a few lines of wise-ass dialog to make a worthwhile movie- where's the "movie" movie part?
¿Bin ich schön? (1998)
There's exciting stuff here but a bit complex, maybe confusing.
This movie deserves a better review than the previous one by Melendez from Brazil. It is true that the plot is complex and not easy to follow, but if you are looking for easy entertainment, this is not for you. There are some very mature sub-plots that will leave some viewers behind, empty, and in the dust. (If you care to look at the votes on this, the demographic breakdown is proof of this; the older the viewers, the higher the rating!) It takes a superb attention span and recall to get to the end of this film in one piece and then you might wonder where you started; but it is worth it. This movie is like a fascinating painting that you can't forget even tho it has some drips,runs,and smudges in it.
Romance (1999)
Can love and/or sex really be this boring?
If there were an Academy Award for the portrayal of the most boring, banal, mundane,and cliché sex scenes in a movie, this movie would surely get the Oscar! Breillat and the whole production company are grossly overrated by the media and critics; Flat,dull lighting, a boring, uninspired script, inept editing, awful music, sophomoric acting(it is an insult to real actors to call this acting); What a load of trash masquerading as original film. This movie is being touted about as being great stuff; well, it isn't; and it's about time someone said so. This movie is being hyped as genius but in all reality it is a real groaner. You'd get more out of life hitting your thumb with a hammer.
