I almost never do reviews of Russian movies, but this one should be an exception. After watching Shapito Show i was quite surprised to see how much efforts was invested. [Sergey Loban] is an author of very experimental [Dust] , which was released previously to Shapito Show. Shapito brings more artistic value and a lot of joy to watch, because of it’s own unpredictability of events. Film consist of four stories, which are happening at the same time and divided into two parts for better watching experience.

You may already noticed that i post entertaining stuff primarily around Fridays, but today is an nice exception and i’m doing it in tuesday. Most of you know [Jackie Chan] due to [Armor Of God 1] and [Armor OF God 2] movies, but after watching them so many times, they’re frankly became such a boredom. As for early Chan’s movies of 70s/80s eras, they are quite weird and not so interesting to me.

As you may already know i like: [Black humour] [Zombie comedy slashers] [Beavis & Butt-head ] cartoon Finnish movies [about plain people] Quite strange concoction? But who really cares? Here is a list of more random films, which are worth to watch. From my point of view of course. [Home Alone 1] / [Home Alone 2: Lost In New York] [Terminator 1] / [Terminator 2] [Evil Dead 1] / [Evil Dead 2] / [Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness] [Tucker & Dale vs Evil] / [Wild Tales] [Chronos] / [Baraka] / [Samsara] [Office Space] / [Human Traffic] / [It Crowd] / [Idiocracy] [Johnny Mnemonic] / [Nirvana] / [Hackers] / [Speed] [Falling Down] / [Taxi Blues] / [Taxi Driver] [The Shawshank Redemption] Films that i like to watch in not so distant future:

Despite the widespread opinion regarding [Seagal’s] sanity and his tendency to star in a very low budget trash movies i like couple of his flicks. [Hard To Kill] ► one of his fist appearances on the screen, a little bit excessively touching, but pretty neat [Under Siege 1] ► simply the best movie to date [Under Siege 2: Dark Territory] ► not so good as first part, but definitely worth to watch HARD TO KILL UNDER SIEGE 1 UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY SPECIAL CATEGORY:

Need a really gooood detective movie? Here is one: [Zodiac] . No weak acting. No dumb computer visuals. Very long, detailed, quite linear, but solid. Film is watched without any interruptions in one single breath. OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808

[Bubba Ho-Tep] is a quite awkward movie, but despite that is worth watching. The main reasons of such conclusion are [Bruce Campbell] and [Brian Tyler] . Bruce is surely known for his [Evil Dead] acting. Brian provided stunning soundtrack, which lifts whole movie to another level. OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808

As you may already noticed i’m fond of good ol’ black humor, which appears as it happens mostly in zombie genre. [Juan Of The Dead] was another unexpected discovery. Story about Cuban slackers running into open revolt of American “dissidents” primarily known as leaving dead zombies. Also i must mark the presence of excellent soundtrack, which significantly improves watching experience. OFFICIAL TRAILER If you have any suggestions regarding films in black comedy genre i’ve missed and didn’t cover them here, please [drop me a line] .

It is a weekend, so here is another entertaining publication. To this day i thought that i’ve seen all good zombie-comedy movies. [Revenant] was a pleasant surprise for me. Forwarding it to all of you. OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808

I thought that zombie horror comedy was already dead genre, but it looks like i was mistaken. Meet the [Final Cut] . It is a European adaptation of Japanese movie [One Cut of the Dead] . Just give it about 40 minutes to warm up and reach it’s culmination. FINAL CUT [2022] Imagery by spacedrone808

Tired of crappy holywood detective action stories? Here is a couple of really decent ones. Swedish at this time. Quite boring at the beginning, but surprisingly intense in the end. Good acting is also here. [The Hunters] [The Hunters 2: False Trail] THE HUNTERS [1996] FALSE TRAIL [2011] Imagery by spacedrone808

The most essential things in [William Gibson] ’s [Cyberpunk] . CYBERPUNK [1990] Imagery by spacedrone808

I was completely floored by quality of movie atmosphere and yeah, this is true [retro-future-cyberpunk show] of the 80s, without any strained interpretations. Pumping soundtrack, marvelous neon illumination with dramatic light beams, excellent design rise quality of the picture to the point where we can safely say “this is classic!”. Glorious CRT monitors, bulky industrial keyboards, cool computer graphics made on fancy new [Amiga] computers. FILM WAS AVAILABLE IN SUPERB 30 FPS [EAT THIS!

[Solaris] is the best soviet Sci-Fi movie produced by [Andei Tarkovsky] . It often counts as direct answer to beautiful and timeless [2001: A Space Odyssey] by [Stanley Kubrick] . Although Solaris had far less budget it surely provides plenty of food to the grey matter. Moreover, movie goes even deeper in philosophical aspects than Space Odyssey. So, the film is for those of you who like to think things over.

[Planet Earth I] and [Planet Earth II] are probably the best documentary series about diverse wildlife on Earth. Make sure to watch them in high-res! PLANET EARTH I OFFICIAL TRAILER PLANET EARTH II OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-19 [Modernized remake] of vintage black and white [Outer Limits] of the 60s. Most of series are junk, but beware that in rare cases GEMS can be found. Anyways, serial is recommended for those who would like to experience 90s aesthetics like early CGI graphics, CRT monitors, pagers and "shiny new" cellphones. INTRO WARNING: 7TH SEASON IS A COMPLETE ABOMINATION! Imagery by spacedrone808

Mysterious. Dramatic. Atmospheric. Horrifying. THIS IS [DAVID LYNCH] . GO WATCH IT. OFFICIAL TRAILER INTRO CREDITS Imagery by spacedrone808

I have pretty strong nostalgia regarding vintage light effects. Vibrant blast of light beams: such scheme was very common during 80s days. I don’t understand why movie industry almost abandoned it in favor of generic non-atmospheric CGI illumination. Just check these light rays out! Imagery by spacedrone808

Deep immersion into 1906. It almost makes you think that you are actually there, very-very close to reality! Moreover it really makes you feel like a time traveler as everyone stop and stare at you. DRASTICALLY REMASTERED FOOTAGE Imagery by spacedrone808

UPDATED ON: 2023.01.26 Is it a detective? Horror? Comedy? Melodrama? Or psychedelic art-house? Giving glance onto [Twin Peaks] we can quickly discover that movie demonstrates not only serious detective elements, unserious humor, melodramatic notes but scary horror vibes at the same time. How could it be? Film forces watcher to experience controversial states of mind in a short amount of time and it surely features some kind of psychedelic vibes among the frames.

[Tales of horror] based on the gruesome comic books of the 1950s presented by the legendary Crypt Keeper, a sinister ghoul obsessed with gallows humor and horrific puns. OFFICIAL TRAILER CRYPT JAM Imagery by spacedrone808

[Short comedy] from [Aki Kaurismaki] . ROCKY VI [PARODY] Soundtrack by [Leningrad Cowboys] For serious people i can suggest to watch classic trilogy [Rocky I] / [Rocky II] / [Rocky III] . Also i can recommend [Rocky V] . It is surprisingly satysfying especially how dumb was [Rocky IV] . SOME REALLY GOOD SOUNDTRACK FROM ROCKY IV ROBERT TEPPER - NO EASY WAY OUT Imagery by spacedrone808

Funny and pretty much underrated [German teenager comedy] . OFFICIAL TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808

If you are tired of generic movies i can advise you an excellent and wilful [Norwegian art-house comedy] . THE BOTHERSOME MAN [2006] Imagery by spacedrone808

UK [TV serie]s , which clearly illustrates current problems of humanity. OFFICIAL TRAILER METALHEAD [ONE OF MY FAVS] Episodes of disappointment [vague story-line, bad directing/acting]: S3e4, S3e5, S3e6, s4e6, s5e1, s5e3 Imagery by spacedrone808

A friend of mine dropped me a recommendation to watch the [movie] . So i’ve done it and now recommend it to you. If you like non-cliche movies and understand nordic self-irony and humour welcome on board! No YT video at this time because film owners blocked embedded content on extrenal sites. Here is [direct link] to YT trailer. Imagery by spacedrone808

[Miami Vice] ….what can i say? I don’t know why it has status of cult tv series. Plot and acting are very plain and sometimes ridiculously childish. One thing which i know for sure is that film demonstrates pretty good music selection for the era. We can hear not only generic stuff like pop and rock, but more underground things like techno, funk and reggae, which are also here.

Scratchy narration makes movie stylish only at the very beginning of the [show] , but heading towards to the end it transforms picture into incoherent overcomplicated mess. Pretty neat plot spoiled by overwhelming amount of flashbacks and useless characters with detailed description of their past lifes.
Scarce amount of backdrop music. Last season should be banned.

My first horror film ever. Watched it as a child. Can’t sleep all night long. [IMDB link] CURSE OF SNAKES VALLEY [FULL MOVIE] Imagery by spacedrone808
