Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 03:23:34 AMTHE GAME (1997)
As mentioned by Mr Leicester 0.5 minor in the best mid 90s movies thread.
not saying this is a bad movie per se, but I was guffawing frequently throughout. the entire premise relies so heavily on deus ex machina and exact sequences of events panning out as required, that I couldn't take it seriously.
also bizarre insertions of odd and distracting comic 'relief' for apparently no reason...
couldn't jive with this one unfortunately baby, guess I'm finna charge it to The Game yo

Fear and Desire (1952)
https://youtu.be/CmL6B57tjZE?si=EUx8uTQu-fbWkew5
Starts with a confusing narration about how none it is real....
Four soldiers are trapped behind enemy lines..... They need to walk to a river & build a raft, but before they can float away, things go sideways.... The men bicker, the leader pontificates, they kill some enemy soldiers for their guns & kidnap a local girl, & two of the men lose it...
The page mentioned Stanley Kubrick, so I thought it was worth a try....
Artsy & confusing, lots of corny references to The Tempest...
Plenty of close-ups of people's faces while someone else is talking, kinda like in Beast Of The Yucca Flats...

Last post by M.10rda - November 29, 2025, 08:13:22 PMTHE RUNNING MAN (2025):
I wasn't eager to endure yet another 80s remake/Stephen King re-adaptation, but when Edgar Wright's name appeared in the credits, I felt a bit reassured. That reassurance was well placed. Sparing any plot specifics (as it's still pretty new), I can acknowledge that it is much more faithful to King's novel than the Ahnuld movie, both in terms of narrative and (bleak, angry) tone. That said, there's still some gonzo action setpieces and a heavy dollop of satirical humor that makes RM'25 feel more like a spiritual descendant of Verhoeven's ROBOCOP. Simultaneously it strikes me as capturing the dyspeptic socio-political spirit of November 2025 very vividly - surely intentional in part as well as something of a happy accident. (Or, perhaps King's novel was 45 years ahead of its time...) That's a lot of balls in the air for a director whose best work (SCOTT PILGRIM) is pure fantasy and who has elsewhere often struggled to handle tonal shifts, yet Wright sticks the landing.
I don't mean to overpraise RM'25, which has myriad moments of Idiot Plotting or just inherent contradictions of its world's logic. (Among other things, Glen Powell's teeth are immaculate for a guy living in abject poverty.) However, if you let the movie wash over you with Vibes while keeping your brain set to about 65% functionality, it's a reasonably good time. Wright reportedly directed Powell to remain in a perpetual "Bad Mood", and he does that to great and empathetic effect. It would be a real shame if audiences got so carried away rooting for Powell's character (as audiences do within the film) that they actually, I dunno, rose up against and destroyed a media empire or something.
3.5/5
With scarily tall villain Lee Pace, Josh Brolin (who is having a very good year), William H. Macy (lending some HDS/Borgnine ESCAPE FROM NY vibes), Michael Cera (doing penance for his nearly catastrophic performance as Scott Pilgrim by being highly effective here), and Colman Domingo, grabbing scenery and shoving it in his mouth w/ both hands.

A good war movie, tho a bit depressing. Might've been better if it was more chronological; the flashbacks within flashbacks van be disorienting. Then again, maybe it was supposed to be disorienting, given it was about memories of 30-50 year old events.
