publicist 4,643 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 My latest Argento 'discovery', and despite the label 'italian Hitchcock' often tagged on him, he's more the italian Di Palma. He's sure as trashy/entertaining (though sadly Opera is from his post-Morricone years). It's a fun, decadent bloodfest, ennobled by its opera setting, but a movie where the killer regularly pins needles in young women's eyelids (in between other gruesome acts) can't really claim high culture as its aim. It's very stylish, though. The lousy acting is something like a corollary to the, shall we say, forced artificiality that invites you to watch out for actors winking at the camera. I still rather watch this three times than the fucking boring 'Jackie', which was also on the ARTE menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,330 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I couldn't take more than 15 minutes of it. Only for Anti-Snyders that need that obvious humorous tone in their superhero movies, even if that tone is not very funny and juvenile. It's been 9 years since I've watched a Michael Haneke film (which was Amour) so this one was really overdue. While it's good, it's somewhat boring at the same time. I probably need to watch it again to get the deeper layers. I mean, look at the laurels the film has received! Have I watched to many Marvel movies? Anyway, for now, I would say it's one of his lesser ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,514 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 First Blood Haven't seen it in a long time. Looks terrific, good performances, good action, but I love the story's themes of PTSD and reintegration most, it's a great different take on "horrors of war". For that reason I'm not planning on ever seeing the others, I haven't heard good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third is, eh, fine, I guess - it has its moments, but can drag a bit. Again, worth it for Goldsmith. The fourth is fine if you're a glutton for excessive violence but the score sucks, and the fifth is for fans only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKY II - Same exact plot but this time he wins the championship. RAMBO sequels- Rambo gets to refight the Vietnam War and fight the Russkies in Afghanistan. That's enough for me to skip the films which betray the original character in EVERY.FILM. ( I've seen bits of all of them) 6 minutes ago, Unlucky Bastard said: .
