THE SWIMMER (1968): Certified weird! "Upon its release, The Swimmer took many critics by surprise. Its unorthodox, episodic texture and surreal humanism challenged preconceived critical notions. If critics were at loss to assess it, mainstream audiences were not. By and large they reacted with outright hostility."-AE
LUCY (2014): "...even the sight of Scarlett Johansson morphing into a black tentacle biocomputer can’t compensate for the feeling that you’re using less and less of your cerebral capacity the longer you watch this movie."
POINT BLANK (1967): "...packed with classic style and star power, and has the perfect ratio of arthouse cool to gritty action."
CHARMS (1973): "...shows signs of too many cooks in the kitchen... but ultimately, its largest flaw (and also its
charm, get it?) is that it's a product of its time, when artistic amalgamations were encouraged to bring in the Youth Audience... while
Charms is not a great film, it can certainly be argued that it is a weird one."-LRH
