This is the best moment here we all think is the coolest about him and his M16 with a Granad-Launcher, and his vering a suit,, his killing with style! I think its weird that this movie had no Oscar-nomination, to bad.

Videodrome 1983,  R)
Videodrome
David Cronenberg's Videodrome is a science fiction film that takes place in a not so distant future where hardcore pornography is normal everyday entertainment. But it doesn't mean that it hasn't reach it limit of how far it can go. the porno TV-producer Max Renn (James Woods) who pics up some signal, a TV channel named Videodrome which shows a woman being whipped while being tied up. But this channel also causes insanity and hallucination of Freudian proportion.

Videodrome is a quiet weird, macabre and dark film. It's just to weird for my taste. But there's a sense of satirical elements of a George Orwell universe, with the kind of Freudian psychological themes making even more sexual and disgusting. So I give this film a marginal thumbs up.

Nostalghia 1983,  Unrated)
Nostalghia
Andrei Tarkovsky's Nostalghia is his second last film he made, and his first film filmed outside the Soviet Union. And maybe that's why neither one of them is as good as any of his previous films. Because this is filmed in the tiny and openly Italy instead of Tarkovsky's native Russia, which is more bigger, mystical and darker than any other countries in the world.

Nostalghia is set in a small town in Italy, where a russian wrier, named Andrei Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovsky) is to do some research about a Russian composer Pavel Sosnovsky who committed suicide when he returned to Russia. And one does not need much imagination to figure out what's going to happened after words. Andrei also befriends a strange inhabitant madman named Domenico (Erland Josephson) whom lives alone after all his family died.

I usually liked all of Tarkovsky's films, but Nostalghia is the only exception. It's to foggy, to slow, and the plot is simply not strong enough. But there's are some good shots I must say that. I'm also a little bit disappointed about Erland Josephson who doesn't really speak that much as he use to, with his reflecting and intelligent monologues. I also suspect that he's dubbed. My conclusion is that it's a good looking picture, but the frame is to small. Thumbs down.
