Black dynamite
Available: November, 1st
Director: Scott Sanders
Writers: Michael Jai White, Scott Sanders, Byron Minns
To throw: Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Salli Richardson
The problem with films that attempt to capture the “camp,” a quality that is usually the result of a lack of self-awareness, is that filmmakers try too hard, losing some of that engagement gap. and the comedy that makes a text as delirious campy as it needs me. This is, thank goodness, not the case with Black dynamite, a heart-wrenching campy-on-intentional comedy that lovingly parodies the Blaxploitation genre and all the low-budget blunders to be found in it. Michael Jai White is just having the most fun as a badass genre hero, a character that exists both in the plot of the movie and like a meta-textual anchor desperately trying to keep the “movie” sinking ship afloat by sheer force of will. It’s a way of saying: Black dynamite will make you laugh out loud and instantly become your new cult classic.
Borat: America’s Cultural Learnings for the Benefit of the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Available: November, 1st
Director: Larry Charles
Writers: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Peter Baynham, Dan Mazer, Todd Phillips
To throw: Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian, Luenell, Pamela Anderson
In a way, and in a way that is disheartening, this illuminating and culturally defining snapshot of America plays as well today as it did in 2006. Borat, the feature film adaptation of Sacha Baron CohenThe ignorant Kazakh journalist who goes to the “US and A” to find his beloved Pamela Anderson, is a hot piece of political satire, a defining mock-documentary that’s also a thought-provoking documentary, and just one of the tightest, funniest, and most engaging chunks of movie comedy ever made. The discoveries that Cohen-as-Borat makes about the insidious prejudices and attitudes held by average Americans are nauseating, but the moments that strike me most are the moments of joy, empathy, and outrageous stupidity captured for the rest of the world. time. High five!
Boyz n the Hood
Available: November, 1st
Director / Screenwriter: John Singleton
To throw: Cuba Gooding Jr., Morris Chestnut, Ice Cube, Laurence Fishburne, Nia Long, Angela Bassett
An unmissable American film, poignant and tragic, full of breathtaking talent. Boyz n the Hood, the first feature film by a 23-year-old young man John singleton, shows the stories and fates of young men from south-central Los Angeles, promising glimpses of redemption while making compelling arguments about how our vicious country oppresses and rejects black people and their dreams. The construction of the film is perfect on all levels; it is powerfully interpreted, written and constructed. A movie you just have to watch.
Fargo
Available: November, 1st
Directors / Screenwriters: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
To throw: Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Harve Presnell, Peter Stormare
While we’re at it, would you like another perfect American movie? Fargo is more than the inspiration for a great FX series – it is quite possibly the Coen Brothers“Best Picture, a demanding slow-burning thriller about our unwavering need for money and power and what we’re willing to do to get it. But luckily, unlike other (always excellent) works by the Coen brothers , Fargo has an emotionally optimistic and endearing core of Francoise McDormand as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant cop with a loving husband (John Carroll Lynch) and his ability to remain unresponsive to the forces of evil and greed that surround him. East Fargo a perfect American movie? Oh yes, of course.
Creation
Available: November, 1st
Director / Screenwriter: Christophe Nolan
To throw: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Elliot Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine
While I am here to make some crazy proclamations about our contemporary writers, I will say this: Creation is Christophe nolanthe best film of. It’s complex but accessible, light but comprehensive, based on a high conceptual premise (what if you could implant an idea in someone’s dream?) Leonardo DiCaprio overcome Marion Cotillard and see his damn children again?). Nolan’s script is so good at the creative concept of “if it’s true, what else is true?” – because we are in a surreal dream world, we can manipulate realities, but sometimes those realities can be corrupted by the mental trauma of other people – and its direction is so good for the crowd-pleasing concept of ” what if an action sequence could rule like hell? ” – fights against rotating corridors, Tom hardy pull out a rocket launcher and call us “honey”, and more. Creation is a successful virtuoso and prestigious cinema feat. I cry at the windmill every time.
The matrix
Available: November, 1st
Directors / Screenwriters: The Wachowski
To throw: Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Joe Pantoliano
And now, to merge the impulses of the “perfect American film” with “an accessible blockbuster crossed with esoteric science fiction”. Whether you’re preparing for the impending sequel or just need another red pill, there’s never a bad time to watch. The matrix, the Wachowski‘pop masterpiece. Revolutionary visual effects, game-changing world-building, a crystal-clear storyline guiding us through just like a white rabbit through Wonderland … just watch The matrix already!
This thing you do!
Available: November, 1st
Director / Screenwriter: Tom Hanks
To throw: Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler, Johnathon Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry, Tom Hanks
I have to stop calling movies “perfect” … after this one.
This thing you do! comes from the mind of Tom hanks and the post worldBeatles pop idolatry. When the Oneders (pronounced “wonders”, thank you) find a hit thanks to a new drummer (Tom everett scott) accidentally upbeat arrangement, their world goes upside down as they get a taste of stardom. Hanks’ work is charming, funny, emotionally complicated, darker than expected, and unexpectedly inspiring. I’m so sorry but this is indeed a perfect movie and if you don’t like my passion for cinema then stop reading my dangs articles !!
