It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day (2023)
Has Dennis Reynolds ever been better?
This is a phenomenal episode, are you kidding me? Dennis is seriously angry, and Howerton executes flawlessly - and deserves the full focus of the episodes - the rest of the guys dreamboard cutouts of themselves, deliberately of course, THis season really had some highlights! Pressure cooker makes the diamond. YEs! Like Michael Douglas in Falling Down, but also Keyser Soze? But with smartphones instead of payphones! I mean, come on, you can't beat that? Happy to see Glenn Howerton sooo commited, still, in season 16! This show is up and down for me, almost always funny, but when it get's it right, it really is something to behold!
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Wonderful mix between Spielberg and Kubrick
When I saw "A.I." for the first time I was captivated, speechless and I just sat and stared at the screen throughout the whole film. I had never seen anything like it. It was magical. The film took hold of me from the first minute and didn't let go before the film was over. Perfect. As the film was actually the director Stanley Kubrick's project, a film he had planned for 20 years, he didn't get to finish it because of his death. The film is based on a novel by Brian Aldiss from 1969 ("Supertoys Last All Summer Long"). After Kubrick's death in 1999, his wife asked Steven Spielberg if he would bring her deceased husband's vision to the screen. Spielberg had spoken several times with Kubrick about the film, and he accepted the task. The result is a mixture of Spielberg and Kubrick, two of the greatest geniuses in film. The film is a mixture of the sentimental Spielberg, a commercial, family film and Kubrick's detailed, thought-provoking and visually stunning talents. It is the mixture of heart and brain. A perfect film.
Haley Joel Osment, who proves he is one of the best child actors ever in this film, plays David; he is actually a robot, but he looks like, behaves like, feels like and shares love like a human being. The son of Henry and Monica is in a coma, and they decide to take in David as a kind of substitute for their own son. Monica establishes a maternal love for David, and decides to "activate" him, so he gets the same love for her. But as he has been activated, he can't ever be deactivated. This becomes a problem because Monica and Henry's own son wakes up from coma and comes back. . .
The film is full of wonderful scenes, such as when Monica wants to get rid of David, and he finds himself left in the cold, outside world. Now when David is not familiar with anyone, he has no one to give his unconditional love to, the movie really blossoms. "A.I." is filled with amazing special effects and many visual moments as David tries to find out who he really is. The film ends in a great, beautiful and heart wrenching way. I sat there after the end, with the underlying questions: What makes us real? Is it the ability to love and to be loved that makes us human? This is definitely the darkest and most thought-provoking film in Spielberg's career. And his most interesting. It is a film not soon forgotten.
Alien Resurrection (1997)
ALIEN RESURRECTION = decent
I actually think this film is pretty decent. It's not as bad as the haters say, but don't get me wrong - it is certainly not a masterpiece, and certainly not as good as the two first ones. As Howars Hawks said: "a film consists of three good scenes and no bad ones". I believe there are three good scenes in this movie; the underwater scene, the scene where Ripley discovers the other 7 clones and the scene where the unborn is sucked into space (I love Ripley's face when her "son" is tortured to death)- but sadly there is also some very bad scenes. I like the characters from the "Betty" even though they are a little stereotypical action types, and I also like some of Jeunet's directing, especially with the visuals. One thing he does very wrong though is that he starts the action right away and he goes with cheap jump-scares. He should have built the tension like Scott did in "ALIEN" and then showed us some good action like Cameron in "ALIENS". I'm not even gonna mention ALIEN3. But in my opinion the fourth installment is a decent film, and worth watching.
The Big Picture (2000)
A captivating film, that don't get the chance to captivate as many people as it should!
"The Big Picture" is a very rare short film. I was watching TV and suddenly this film came on. I thought that it deserves a chance even though it was a short film and I have never heard about the film nor the directors before. Then when the film started and the main characters future was revealed more and more I was totally captivated by it. I had not seen anything like it, of course the style is not what is unique but how the plot plays out. And then came the end. What an amazing way to end this film. It is the ending that makes the whole film and even though it is a short film you still get attached to the character and moved by her future. After the film was over, the end raised a lot of questions in my mind, but I found myself loving the film, the end and life itself.
