Time of the Wolf (2003) -

In a "post apocalyptic" world, Haneke presents to us a realistic but dark and bleak outlook on mankind and as usual, the master challenges the viewers' pre-conceived ideas about genre film-making, and lets us observe closely but from far away, the hopeless characters' nightmare. It sure isn't one of the director's best works, but it's still exceptionally done, especially for its genre.

Roman Spring and Mrs. Stone - 6.5/10

Warren Beatty with an Italian accent was pretty ridiculous; better off just making him an American ex-pat. Very great foundation of a movie, just very little for a movie that was an hour and a half, though it felt like 3.

I watched Split, finally!

9.5/10. Re-watching unbreakable now .

You should watch Ringu then. Way better.

How can you enjoy this movie that much?

I watched this because it's from the same director as Gutterballs and the story sounded good. There's a lot of sick scenes and hot chicks, but there's no personality or atmosphere to make up for the low budget.

Here's the synopsis from Wikipedia-

Unable to bring in anymore money for Leroy, her abusive pimp, the pregnant Rose tries to run away in the middle of the night, but is caught by Leroy. Using a clothes hanger, Leroy performs an impromptu abortion on Rose, unintentionally killing her in the process. Leroy disposes of Rose's baby in a dumpster, where its cries attract the attention of a homeless man, who raises the disfigured child as "Hanger".

On his eighteenth birthday, the vagrant sends Hanger off to live with John, his biological father, who the man had earlier met at a junkyard. John informs Hanger that he has gotten him a job at the junkyard, and that he will be working there and living with Russell, an acquaintance with Down syndrome. As he drives away with Hanger, John runs over the homeless man (who was defecating in his tent) and joyously tells his long-lost son "Welcome to the rest of your life!" John gives Hanger a picture of Rose, and picks up a prostitute for him to have sex with, but upon seeing Hanger's mutilated face, the woman goes into hysterics, so John crushes her head in his truck door.

While Hanger is watching pornography with Russell in their home, a Jehovah's Witness visits, and Hanger mauls and partially eats her while being cheered on by Russell. Later, John drops by, and reveals to Hanger that he has a plan to get revenge on Leroy for what he did to Rose. On his way out, John is approached by Foxy White, Leroy's girlfriend, who offers to help John kill Leroy. John turns down Foxy's offer, but says he will make Leroy suffer "a little extra" if Foxy watches over Hanger.

While Hanger is at work, John is captured by Leroy and a prostitute named Trashy, who disfigure him with a blow torch, and a hanger. Foxy finds John and tries to release him, but Leroy walks in on this, and shoots Foxy in the head. As that occurs, Russell and Hanger are drugged by Phil, a co-worker, who rapes them while wearing a Santa suit; at one point, Phil inserts his penis into Hanger's leaking colostomy. Russell and Hanger get their revenge on Phil at the junkyard, knocking him out, and placing him under a pile of garbage. Russell goes home and drinks tea made from used tampons, but after getting a call from Hanger, Russell goes to the junkyard, and finds Nicole (the owner's daughter) unconscious in her office, Hanger having knocked her out with Phil's drugs.

Russell takes Nicole's tampon, and she is later found by Leroy, who rapes her while she is unconscious, and threatens her into luring away Russell so Leroy can be alone with Hanger. Once he is in Nicole's office, Russell is seemingly killed by Leroy, who chokes him with one of Nicole's tampons. Outside, Hanger stomps Phil's head in, and is confronted by Leroy, but John (who was left for dead, but recovered and killed Trashy by shoving a douche up her nose) appears and calls Leroy out. Leroy and John fatally shoot each other, and a distraught Hanger runs off with the hysterical Nicole.

Ha!

I don't know, but I did, I thought it was fabulous...how can you ask a question like that?

American Gigolo - 8/10

Very surprised. I've always known about this movie, what it was about.. I'm very, very surprised it only got a 6.2 on IMDB, very odd; it's usually a movie that hasn't been viewed much. Maybe people were expecting something different. I think it's pretty deep about our role in society - being whores and being used by a binary choice, two competing forces (politics and business) with the police acting as arbitration. After Kay asks "Why me?" Leon responds with "You are frame-able; you stepped on too many toes".

I still haven't saw a movie of Schrader's that I rated under a 7.5, so I'll have his movies to juggle around with a lot of other incomplete directors (some movies are just hard to find).

Because I liked nothing about it. Gave it a 6/10 only for nostalgia.

That a high rating only for nostalgia and when you liked nothing about the actual movie.

Okay, I'm gonna need some sort of explanation to why this film is getting such negative feedback, because I thought it was absolutely fantastic, and I genuinely can't think of a reason why someone could hate it.
This is the second film I've seen by Xavier Dolan, the first one being "Mommy", which is one of my favourite movies of all time, and just like "Mommy", "It's Only the End of the World" is beautifully shot and crafted, there's a sense intimacy in each frame, which draws us closer to our characters, which by the why play off of each other greatly and similarly to the leads of "Mommy". The cast itself is fantastic, which consists of Gaspard Ulliel, Marion Cotillard, Vincent Cassel, Léa Seydoux and Nathalie Baye, and their chemistry together is beyond the roof, especially with the well layered dialogue that they magnificently deliver.
I'm just so happy that the film turned out the way it did, and I really wouldn't change a thing about it....except for literally the last shot, which made me think: "Yummm CGI", other than that, it's a solid . Go Dolan !

I'll have to check this out now, thanks for the recommendation. Hopefully there aren't to many gerbil scenes.
