					<description><![CDATA[I feel the same way about NASCAR—it never really grabbed me, but Talladega Nights made the whole thing much more entertaining. That scene where Ricky Bobby thinks he’s paralyzed and demands to be stabbed in the leg had me laughing so hard. Will Ferrell is something else!

What’s funny is that after watching the movie, I started getting into all the wild merchandise people wear to races and events. I ended up getting this Ricky Bobby Wonder Bread jacket from Safyd, and it’s been a hit at pretty much every party or get-together. I never expected to own something like that, but honestly, it’s a great conversation starter, especially with anyone who loves the movie.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Absolutely spot on.  I was film had me unsettled as soon the project was announced and even more so when the trailers came out.  My fears were realized as Dunkirk fails to transcend its titular event.  It doesn&#039;t have anything to add to or say about the human experience. It is just Dunkirk.  What is it about? Dunkirk. What happens in it? Dunkirk.  There isn&#039;t really a reason to even see this. If you know the scenario already, that is it.  Dunkirk.]]></description>

Jesus, the guy is a reviewer! Why are all Marvel dicksuck fans so hostile when someone expresses a slight difference in opinion over the Marvel movies?! They are films after all and are supposed to be discussed and challenged. How else do movies get better or explore more compelling stortelling and character development... Oh that&#039;s right Marvel fans could care less about any of that and are primarily concerned with bad Power Rangers type cosplay that exists in a fake CGI world where real people and bystanders have become incidental. Your reaction can pretty much lend itself to the exact fundamental problem these Marvel movies are now beginning to create. Marvel has become less a place for artistry and innovation and more a factory where the same product is churned out on a by-annual basis. What this sequel seems to be proving is that the formula that these movies follow does not seem to sustain the overstuffed progression of characters and lame one-liners that the filmakers of these stories can&#039;t seem to get enough of. It&#039;s all pointless pandemonium in the end... Ridiculous destruction, where people are killed by the thousands and our heroes are constantly making crass lame jokes but because it&#039;s Disney they never show anything real and our heroes standing tall as all of society has crumbled behind them. These aren&#039;t superhero stories, just capitalism cashing in on a deluded and a fast becoming dangerous marketplace.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A movie which oozes Britishness from every frame, The Imitation Game is an instant classic. Wartime Britain is depicted vividly, if a little caricatured, with an autumnal palette and a jaunty air.

A true story, sympathetically told, with good performances all round and a stand-out Turing from the indefatigable Mr Cumberbatch. The young Turing is also extremely well realised by Alex Lawther.

Meandering through Alan Turing&#039;s life since school until shortly before his death, the script demands your attention and regularly makes you smile.

Highly recommended.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nightcrawler seems like a satire to modern television news about how they choose their leads or often seek for more ratings by entertaining their viewers rather than aim straightly to the facts. But there is a much interesting story beneath here and that is the main character, Louis Bloom. The guy that easily manipulates people with his sinister tricks of persuasion. Everything else may just be the natural world of crime and accidents, but in the eyes of this character, the experience is made far stranger and oddly fascinating. This provides a compellingly menacing and provoking piece of commentary which results to such engrossing film.

What the plot mostly does is to fully absorb the viewers into the character of Bloom by studying his sociopathic behavior and the words coming out from his mouth. He is a charming young man with a dark intention hidden behind his grins. He pushes the limits of the law and his own safety, only to accomplish on what he must do in the job, even if it risks many people&#039;s lives. The actions of this antihero is ought to feel terrifying on how it affects to both the business he&#039;s working on and the society he is watching. The media&#039;s side however is more of a picture of cynicism on how they broadcast the scariest stories of the city, giving the people fear so they could earn more viewers out of the concern. It just breaks down on how the evil of their success is disguised as their own ethics.

The filmmaking perfectly captures their night&#039;s work. You couldn&#039;t clearly see the scenario they shoot unless you watch them on a video footage. The violence and peril they witness are shown without any hint of sympathy, since they only use them for the news show. The horror of these gritty scenes once again belongs to the nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the biggest highlights here. His character obviously has the personality of a psychotic villain; he is mostly bluffing, and by the dashing enthusiasm he shows to the people around him, you probably may not know when his inner total madness will burst out from his frightening eyeballs, and that provides more tension than you expect. This is one of the Gyllenhaal performances that will be remembered for his career.

Out of common sense, this story may lead its main character to a moral about how much he is taking this job too far, probably destroying his humanity. But no, this guy is relentless, almost inhumane, and his style in fact helps his career grow bigger, which turns out we are actually rooting for a villain. And that probably pictures to some oppressive ambitious beings out there behind some system. This is where things go in the end, bringing an outcome to a social satire. You can spot a lot of relevance even when some of the situations get a little out of hand. Nightcrawler is something else than a sentiment, what we must focus here is Lou Bloom: a new, possibly iconic, movie vigilante, except the only skin he is purposely saving is himself and his career.]]></description>
