Di yi lei xing wei xian (1980)
Don't try this at home !!!
I never believed in rebirth, but italian freak cinema of the 70ies lived on in a lot of Hong Kong flicks of the 80ies. If you like animals, human life or are a fan of political correctness you should NOT watch this movie. If you like explotation movies, italian cinema and have mental problems like me, GO FOR IT. It really has a good script, lot of twists, overall good acting and is very well made. What I really missed are car chases between Alfa Romeo's and BMW's, Tomas Milian, Henry Silva and a score from let's say Stelvio Cipriani, then it would be perfect, but you can't have it all.
Hardcore entertainment par excellence (really).
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
Why they do this ?
What normally works fine in the movies of Martin McDonagh, the mix of comedy, drama and crime, does not work here. Unless you're not a complete madman you won't laugh about topics of racism and sexual murder which are the main themes of this movie. This is not Fargo (what it want's to be, but darker) or a 70ies Explotation Movie, where everything can happen and you will laugh about it, because you are stoned. The cast is very good, the movie is as good made as you would expect it from a talented director.
The only thing that surprised me, was the brilliant performance of Sam Rockwell, but this alone does not make a good movie.
Don't spend money on this one and watch "In Bruges" again.
