| Review: First I want to say that this is one of the best (and entertaining as hell!) social commentary films Ive seen since Terry Gilliams Brazil and Paul Verhoevens Robocop. Yes there are a lot of plot points that dont make much sense if looked at from the perspective of our reality. But this film does NOT aim to be realistic. In fact, Id say the goal of the director is to make it as surrealistic as possible. And I applaud him to be so successful in that: in many moments during the film, I felt I was experiencing a fevered dream of a fried fish. -- Thats how insane this film is. It takes great genius to present something as insane as the plot of Snowpiercer.This film will be remembered, analyzed and revered for a long, long time. The icing on the cake is that the social commentary content is actually intriguing. The film is decent enough to leave enough ambiguity so that the audiences can make their own conclusions. 9 out of 10. |

| Review: First of all, let me say that the characters were great. Diaz and Segel are very talented, funny people in comic roles. The movie overall had a very cute, however stupid, story line, but the portrayal of that story line goes down hill in a hurry thanks to the direction of the film maker. Ever since Seth Grogan came on the scene, whos mouth spews filth from every direction, Hollywood has been pushing the limits with each new comedy film. Each director trying to outdo the other in terms of gross humor. There are no secrets left in sex. None. Everything is brought out on the screen and in disgusting dialog that leave little if any to ones imagination. Call me old fashion. Call me an old fart. I just dont see the humor in Coc..s..ker and motherf...er over and over throughout the movie. What is the purpose? To see how much they can get away with and still make a boatload of $$$? To push the sensor meter to the limit and get a positive rise out of the audience? To me, this is nothing more than a serious deterioration of what little is left of societys morals. Now, its all about whatever sells.Seinfeld was hilarious. Will & Grace was hilarious. Comedy like the pink panther series was hilarious. Yet not a word of BS was spoken and folks just laughed their collective asses off. Go figure! One of the funniest comedic films of late was, Hall Pass. The charters were cast perfectly and it was a fun film to watch. Yet it did not resemble Sex Tape in any way, shape or form in language content or visual calamity. Ill be damned if I ever waste another $16. on trash like Sex Tape again. Cameron Diaz I love you, but you can do much better than this. |

| Review: Non-Stop is an action mystery thriller starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore and is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, Orphan). The story takes place 30,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean inside of a plane traveling from New York to London. Bill (Liam Neeson) is a Federal Air Marshall with a troubled past. He is assigned to accompany the international flight when things take a turn for the worst and there is an apparent hijacking of the plane. The catch: Bill is being framed. Dont worry though, I havent spoiled anything you couldnt find in the trailer already. But, while it might sound like you have heard this plot 100 times before just in different settings, you may be in fact incorrect.Overall, I actually quite enjoyed this movie, which is not something I was so sure about when I went into it. This movie keeps audiences guessing throughout and is almost like Whodunit on a plane. This carries the movie well, advancing the plot and allowing audiences to discover new leads alongside of Bill. You cannot assume anything with Non-Stop. It does a great job of building tensions and increasing anxiety as the minutes tick by, and as with any mystery you are never sure what is around the next corner.With better than expected plot and better than expected technical prowess, Non-Stop is a great movie for action fans who want something a little bit more!If you want to read my longer review see it at: http://movieview.org/non-stop-jaume-collet-serra-2014/ |
