I just watched [movie x here]

I dunno who mentioned it... (TBH it might have been somewhere else)
But someone, somewhere, mentioned "Climax" - a French movie about dancers who drink spiked sangria and the result of it?
Dear god it's awful
First 35 minutes is a showcase of them all dancing in that "new vogue" way. (Impressive in parts, but oveprlayed)
Virtually every character is sexually ambiguous - and virtually every character has noting to talk about BUT sex...
Then, mid way through the movie... FILM CREDITS
(In huge, neon colours flashing and shifting all over the screen.)
Then the acid kicks in, and the film falls to bits.
Dull, tedious, and the last 20 minutes (felt like an hour) shot under red lights, low lumen, with the camera upside down.
Do yourselves a favour... avoid.
I love french film, but this was mindless, pretentious twaddle.

Scrolling through, kinda necroing the Fifth Element discussion:
It's a really good movie, but IMHO it's starting to age a little. Which is fine, for a 23 year old movie. Dang, '97. And yeah, Chris Tucker just fit in so smoothly, probably because the whole thing was just over the top.

Dammit the doc is region locked... :(

Watched John Wick and John Wick 2 over the past week, and immediately they became two of my favourite movies.
Very reminiscent of The Raid movies, which are two more of my favourites -right down to the first one basically being a 90-minute action scene, and the second one actually being a movie.
I cannot express to you how pitch perfect the entire thing is for me. Beautiful cinematography, and of Keanu Reeves, who has suddenly become one of my biggest celebrity crushes :psyduck: his hair is shorter in the second one, which is sad. He is, to reference a meme, breathtaking.
And so is the violence. Not quite as truly bone-crunchingly horrendous as the Raid movies for the most part, but balletic and beautiful in the way it is choreographed and shot. None of this hyperactive Westernised editing here, it's all long, slow takes so you get to see just how impressive what everyone is doing is.
The cast! The casts of both! It's got Laurence Fishburne in the second one! Two different people from The Wire! The person who's First Officer in the Orville whose name I don't know and can't be bothered to look up! Ian McShane! Fucking COMMON is in the second one, are you for real???
The movie could do with a few more non-dick-havers in it with actual dialogue. The second one does a lot better with this, at least, although maybe I shouldn't be using the word 'dialogue' in that example.
They're just great, great movies. I'm watching the third one soon, and then buying the goddamn Blu-Rays.
