In this controversial guttural comedy, the first from writer/director Christopher Michael, his shocking character "Jerome Jackson" makes his debut as a mortuary attendant caught in a diabolical bacteriological espionage plot that threatens to destroy America. Using his special ghetto-jive powers, Jerome uncovers the scheme while helping himself to the luscious offerings of the widow of one of his "customers" - an evil, rich bastard that has been replaced by one of the agents as part of the bacteriological war. Can the shuffling Jerome keep his hands off horny white women long enough to save his country? Probably not, but you'll laugh at this fool's attempts to balance animalistic sex and patriotism! And what is the power of the OSMOMOLIMITER?
In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton wonderfully paces the film in such a way that replicates the slow-burn nature of justice.
All in all, “Event Horizon” is a cinematic misfire, begging to be perfected in the future. While it possesses an array of admirable visuals, the film leaves much to be desired. If only we could see Anderson’s preferred cut, which featured more character development and tortuous imagery. In the meantime, I have a catchphrase for this film: In space no one can hear you snore.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again. This really does, in so many words, sum up the foundational gist of of this new feature film from writer Seth Reiss ("The Menu") and director Kogonada ("The Acolyte", "After Yang"). Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
The Lego Movie achieves great humor and story with a combination of childish comedy, adult references, irony, and by subverting popular movie tropes.
The original Mothra is a fun monster movie that has way stronger lore, music, and special effects than most of its contemporaries.
James Cameron’s “Aliens” (1986) is a pinnacle of science fiction storytelling. Within this classic monster movie lies a powerful female character, Ellen Ripley (brilliantly portrayed by Sigourney Weaver).
