Ice Blue (2017)
This was an amazing movie!
If this is truly this director's premiere film then I am looking forward to seeing much more from her. This movie was engaging, tragic and brilliant! Go see it.
Blockers (2018)
WTF is with the positive reviews for this trash?!
This was easily the worst comedy or movie I have ever seen. I'm not offended by vulgarity, Horrible Bosses was brilliant, this wasn't...period. Don't waste your money on this crap!
Apocalypto (2006)
Not what I expected
OK, let's just ignore all the little politically-correct milquetoast losers who are wasting our time obsessing about the "Mel Gibson Racial Controversy" and focus on the movie...thanks. Anyway, I was surprised to find that this film was simply an action-adventure (albeit an amazingly well-produced and beautifully-filmed action-adventure) as opposed to a deep, mystical and revelatory experience with religious overtones. Given the name (Apocalypto) and the featured subjects (the Mayans, who figure so prominently in esoteric thought and New Age mysticism), I expected something completely different. A lot of us seem to be stretching our necks out pretty far to find an underlying theme examining the breakdown and decline of a civilization. Who says that the Mayan civilization only began to engage in human sacrifice as their end began to draw near? I think it is probably more likely that this had been an ongoing part of their spiritual life throughout their history. What shocks and appalls 21st-century audiences could well have been the norm for this culture. Also, I think that most everyone here is greatly overstating the violence and gore factor, I mean, has anyone watched Kill Bill lately...or Reservoir Dogs...or Saving Private Ryan? That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this film and it is truly a treasure in this age when the vast majority of our movies are comprised of unnecessary remakes.
