Aelita (1924)
Great martian sets and costumes, a movie with samples that has been sampled
Most of the movie is concerned with Russian life at the time. But an engineer (with some interesting wrist watches) dreams of Mars and wants to discover the new world. Expect a culture clash, some love story and the occasional nice visual. At times you may recognise Zeitgeist like Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and themes (work force being "refurbished") that have been used in later films.
Machete Kills (2013)
I'm in the black hole of sophistication
... and that's just one of the dialog lines that distinguishes this movie from others. Some reviewers here seem to expect something different. I was looking for hilarious entertainment in the form of rarely seen actors doing out-of-this-world scenes, b-movie charm and comic-like story twists.
The movie connoisseur will appreciate the references, gore aficionados will be surprised by the new ideas and some special type of geek is to salivate with pleasure and will be looking for the next one. Everyone else, I'm sorry if you had wrong expectations. I just had none except for fun. It might be a polarizing flick, so be warned.
The movie takes you on a ride hardly seen before nor experienced. I laughed out loud while not being known for that kind of expression. I lust for a made-up world that takes kidnaps me from the everyday sophistication I have to deal with in my daily life.
Enjoy!
