Romancing the Stone (1984)
The movie is like an old friend
One review is saying this is a film only for people nostalgic who lived in that time period. But I was born in the year 2000, and the movie fills me with the kinds of romance, adventure, and emotion, that is timeless. Part of the reason for this is the superb atmosphere. You really feel you are there in all of the locations. It is one of the most atmospheric movies you can watch. The other good thing about it: no pointless CGI. Everything made nowadays is just done on computers with CGI characters. It's never believable. Maybe we need to go back to how things were done in the past. Sets, matte paintings, and practical effects. CGI = no imagination.
Cruella (2021)
So much style. So very soulless.
I've never seen so many pointless zooms. The movie camera is constantly moving (across mostly soulless digital environments), Cruella is pretending to be a big, flashy, stylish movie that is hip and avant-garde. But there is no enjoyment to be had in any of it. It never stops to tell an actual story or to make you care about any of it. Movies are just getting worse and worse because they hire people who have no idea what they are doing, or why.
Aimy in a Cage (2015)
One of the most psychedelic films I've ever seen.
The first time it was like one long fruit by the foot commercial. It is zany and freaky film. Three quotes kept popping in my head. "If you're traveling through hell, keep going." "If you are great, El Topo is great. If you are limited, El Topo is limited." "I do not take drugs, I am drugs." It is a trip.
