Cube (1997)
The meek shall inherit the earth
Somebody told me ages ago to watch this film, finally i got to see it and i have to admit, it was entertaining, kept you guessing right to the end, had a good premise and good acting. It's also one of those rare films that stays with you long after you've seen it. One of the biggest questions not only while you're watching it, but after is 'Why?' what is the purpose of the cube? Is some sicko watching? Is it a way to play games with mankind, to test our intelligence, endurance , tolerance of one another, humanity, and survival instincts?If so, it's a cruel but excellent way to do it. Does fear reveal the true us? If so, can we still care about others when we're on the edge? can we put others survival before our own? Can we maintain our humanity when we're almost certain we're going to die? Well, in this movie, some do and some don't. What is this film trying to say about the human race,is it that we instantly devalue certain people because they're disabled, geeky, or physically weak.What does it mean by showing that the macho hero type cop (usually a movies saviour) is the least human and the most destructive within the cube, and that the smallest, youngest person, 'the female geek' and the autistic boy are the two that figure the way out. The autistic boy is the only person capable of not abusing another, not being judgemental and being compassionate even to the nasty guy (remember him stroking the cops hair) Is that why only he survived? was he the only one who really deserved to get free of the cube? If so, is the writer saying the meek really will inherit the earth?
The First Turn-On!! (1983)
Vincents First Turn On!
My interest in this film was purely as a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio..and this is his first ever movie made at the tender age of twenty four. His role is small however, but his character is actually quite funny. He plays a psychotic,brainless teenager called Lobotomy..and oh, how his acting improved over the years! The film itself is a carry on movie meets Airplane! lots of silly humour and innuendo. It's set at a kids summer camp with dubious members of staff and centres around four teens and a dizzy blonde staff members stories of their first seductions..it is funny in parts but also very silly. It's not a bad film, just a piece of inane fluff.
