I wouldn't watch it for the bleakness, but rather to feel superior to them red commie bastards. :01:

There's also this Leviathan* which seems to fit most of Idol's criteria.





*the other other Leviathan. Not to be confused with the Peter Weller/Ernie Hudson maritime epic.

Show me someone who fancies himself an auteur and I'll show you someone who makes bad movies that a small percentage of the population latch onto in the hope of appearing superior.

My suggestion if you aren't one of the above is if you see the words "Nominated at Cannes" to run as far and as fast in the opposite direction as your fat little legs can carry you.

Film critiquing is a rather complex science.In light of that fact while I was study cinema at La Femis in Paris I took literally seconds to came up with a precise formula for rating films.

Ninjas. Add one star
Hot chick.Add one star.Add two stars if her acting isn't an embarrassment to humanity and she clearly only got the job by blowing the producer.
Good soundtrack.Add one star.One and a half if it's Motown.
Starring any one or a combination of Clive Owen,Timothy Olyphant or a young Clint Eastwood .Add one star.
No puppies were harmed in the making of the movie(obviously) and in the end the bad people get their just desserts,Add one to three stars depending on the cuteness of the widdle puppies and the evilness of the bad guys.So like Robin Hood ,Prince of Thieves only gets one added star because clearly everyone would have been happier Alan Rickman lived and Kevin Costner ate it and Marley and Me get a negative three,because.

There Will Be Blood
Nightcrawler

Morally dubious individuals who follow their own rules as they push their way to success

Deliverance (1972)

This is a film about people's contemporary anxieties for everyday life, raised in the best (or not) circumstances.

If your everyday life involves getting anally raped by inbred rednecks. :blink:

Or alternatively if you've won a Pulitzer Prize ....

In Dion's defense, he does live in Hostel land. :fear:
