Bilitis (1977)
Bilitis again...
Yesterday I watched Bilitis again, with 2023 eyes. I saw it when it was released and could remember it quite well so there were no surprises. I liked it then, I love it now.
If Bilitis was released today it would be crushed by the critics, by the press and by the virtue signaling lynch mob of the social media. Not because of the nude and mildly erotic love scenes with teen girls but because it doesn't tick the obligatory checkboxes of today's films. Bilitis gives us a pure and sweet lack of diversity. All the girls are pretty and thin. There isn't a single ugly one. Not a single fat one. Not a single BLM one. Not a single (choose your minority) one. Nothing was done to portrait the fake reality current films shove. As someone once said, we were happy but didn't know it.
Francis Lai's soundtrack is magnificent, fits the images perfectly. It's almost classic. There is no rap/hiphop/funk or other current offensive noise we hear today.
Even if you don't appreciate David Hamilton's fogged lens signature style isn't possible to deny the great composition of the takes. The stills showed are masterpieces.
And yet again it was a pleasure to watch.
We were happy and didn't know it...
Lost in Space (2018)
Aaaaaarrrrgh...
For lack of a better word to describe the feeling...
it became a teen series, annoying and unbearable...
not to mention the BLM girl, mandatory character on today's series...
couldn't watch it...
Astrid et Raphaëlle (2019)
Excellent!
Good plots, good characters, no agenda.
Many critics fail to understand that the french police is different from the american police.
Hope they go for a third season.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Bland & Boring
Almost gave up in the middle but, hey, they said it was good, maybe something happens later...
Nope, nothing happened.
Also, I hate films with character "adjustments" to please the current woke culture. Please don't.
FBI: Most Wanted: Patriots (2021)
Waiting for the next week's episode...
... when they will fight that terrorist group that matters or will it be about election fraud?
Gagarin. Pervyy v kosmose (2013)
Good film...
Accurate as possible, very enjoyable.
I had a very emotional moment when they used the real Radio Moscow announcement, which I heard live when I was a kid! Something I will never forget.
Debris (2021)
A good idea...
... got lost.
*** SPOILERS ***
An alien spacecraft crashes and debris fall on Earth, that´s the good idea.
The bad: every single piece has some magical power, from creating clones to making old people young again, to moving people thru time and space! And all it takes is just a small piece!
More like a Harry Potter film than sci-fi...
The Anomalyst (2020)
Unwatchable
Bad camera, bad edit, bad acting and the list goes on and on and on...
Couldn't finish the second episode...
The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse (2020)
awful...
Didn't get past the first episode, there's nothing that remotely resemble the Mickey Mouse I grew up watching...
Buried Truth of the Maya (2019)
it's a good documentary...
... but the terrible edition makes it painful to watch...
