What to see in the evening in December: Arkyn, Base, "last night in Soho"
The last film digest in the year turned out, perhaps, the most diverse. The cute Christmas fairy tale in it is adjacent to the depressed suur, and a universally recognized masterpiece with a loud failure. In general, everything at once – just like in a festive olivier.
Hit manki
About what: The Killer-Prazgildei Bruce comes to Japan to eliminate the ambitious policy, but after the mission he himself turns out to be a victim of the setup. The wounded mercenary enters the mountains, where, with the kindness of the soul, the tribe of rational white monkeys is pumped out. However, soon mercenaries come to the settlement and arrange a bloody massacre. The only surviving primacy decides at all costs to avenge the relatives … And he will help him the ghost of Bruce, who for some reason is constrained with a monkey irresponsible mystical connection.
What they say: "Hit-Manki" – The last comic book project Marvel , launched in production before Kevin Faygi took under personal control not only films, but also the series of the company. Therefore, it can be considered as a brilliant farewell with a short era of creative freedom, which gave us "Agents" Shch.AND.T."" " , "Daredevil" And "Legion". We will not rain anything like the Hit Mannya from Disney in the coming years: this is a perky animated action movie in the spirit "Dedpula" with blood liters, black humor and absurd situations fed in all seriousness. Damn it, here a monkey in a suit with a tie chopping Yakuza to the sarcastic comments of the ghost! And all this under the Marvel brand.
Base
About what: A distant future. Emperor Cleon has been very galaxy for several centuries, regularly cloning himself, because under him the empire reached unprecedented greatness. However, the scientist Gary Selledon makes an disappointing and frighteningly accurate forecast: in just a couple of centuries, human civilization is waiting for the imminent collapse and the beginning of the chaos of. If you prepare in advance, the dark times will last “only” millennium, but if you let everything go by itself, humanity will wander in the darkness at least ten thousand years. Those in power do not want to listen to the thinker and declare him as a troublemaker, a provocateur who wants to denigrate the emperor. But it soon turns out that the predictions of Seldon are not only true, but also come true much faster than expected.
What they say: To the film adaptation of the works of Isaac Azimov Apple obviously made a large bet. It seemed to the trailers that "Base" will "Dune" From the world of TV shows, no less. The project budget is not disclosed, but the fact that money is invested unremarkably is visible in almost every frame. Alien landscapes, spaceships, a magnificent imperial city – everything is drawn at the level of large blockbusters. Yes, and the cast is magnificent: what is the only Jared Harris (it's funny that he again got the role of a scientist whom no one is listening). However, the first season has been fully available for a couple of weeks, but there is no hype. Cosmooper seemed to ignore everyone except the thematic media. However, they met the “foundation” very restrained. This is, of course, beautiful and large -scale science fiction, but she has enough problems, and the main one is the pace of the narrative. Talking one story, the series breaks it off at a glance and makes a sharp jump for several decades ahead. As a result, already familiar heroes either completely disappear from the narrative, or change beyond recognition, and so as much as several times. However, if you accept this, then the “foundation” can be surprised and presented with food for thought.
Chucky
About what: The life of a teenager Jake is hard and joyless. Classmates are mocking him because of orientation and poverty, father, widowed, drinks without drying, and the work of the guy-the sculpture from the dolls-certainly no one will ever appreciate their backwoods. Just for the next art project, Jake buys an old toy of those that was released in the 80s at the flea market. At first glance, there is nothing special in it: the blue -eyed red -eyed peanut in a dear overalls. But it soon turns out that Chucky himself got into the house, he is Charles Lee Ray – a serial killer locked in a rubber body. And he has his own plans for the life of the new owner.
What they say: The creator of the killer doll Don Mancini is an example of rare perseverance and fidelity to his work. From the first "Children's Games" And to this day he never abandoned his creation to the mercy of fate. In each new project about Chucki, the author acted either as a director or screenwriter. The exception was only a recent remake, which the studio created without his approval, taking advantage of the legal loophole. But Mancini did not give up and continued the original plot, which lasts already since 1988, on television.
"Chucky" – Not just a sequel, but the quintessence of the whole franchise about a toy maniac. The ideas laid down in the previous parts receive their development, and almost all the iconic characters of the series appear on the screen, and performed by all the same actors. In addition, they finally show us what kind of Ray was generally going to kill people. In general, the project is not designed for a random viewer for sure, but he will probably like the longtime fans of the bloody adventures of Chucky.
Cowboy Bibop
About what: Fighter-virtuosa Spike Spiegel and former cop Jet Black travel around the galaxy in their playing with the musical name “Bibop” (this, if that, such a style of jazz) and catch all sorts of destruction for money, whether it is robbers, terrorists or simply debtors. One runs from the dark past, the other simply tries to accumulate for a decent life for himself and her daughter. By their fate, they are on board by Fei Valentine – another hunter's head, and a dexterous fraudster part -time. Well, after the trace of Spike there is a ghost from his past – psychopath Vishez.
What they say: Enchanting failure of "live" "Death notebooks" showed Netflix , that the adaptation of cult anime should be done at least visually similar to the original sources. In this regard "Cowboy Bibop" – definitely step forward. Yes, the African -American Mustafa Zhakir plays white by the canon of Jet, but the character’s manners are reproducing very recognizable. Yes, and to John Cho, despite his solid age, there are no questions: quite a worthy spike. But this (as well as the brilliant soundtrack Yoko Cannot and generally decent special effects), perhaps the only advantage of the series as adaptation. Which is quite predictable: the original still looks great and does not need any updates at all. Actually, the evidence was the numbers of views, because of which Netflix has already covered the remake after the debut season. However, paradoxically, all this does not mean that the new “cowboy of Bibop” must be bypassed uneasy, like a leprosoria. In those moments when the creators are not trying to retell the subjects of the anime, but do something of their own, it turns out not the worst comedy action movie in the still unique setting of retro-futurism. Yes, to the original to him, as before Mars on a “penny”, but the level of performance is still several goals higher than that of most American attempts to transfer manga to their soil.
Last night in Soho
About what: Eloise-Yarai fan of the 60s and a little psychic. Having entered the designer, she moves from her native village to a room in London Soho, where something strange happens to her. It is PlayOJO sister sites worth the girl to go to bed, as she is mentally transferred sixty years ago and sees the world through the eyes of a pretty novice singer Sandy. At first, Eloza is delighted, because she got the opportunity to actually live in her favorite era. But the further the dreams go, the clearer it becomes that London is half a century ago is not at all such a glamorous place, as it may seem naive girls, and Sandy does not expect anything good. And from her suffering gradually goes crazy and Eloise.
What they say: Edgar Wright, director "Zombies named Sean" , "Scott of Piligrim" And "Baby on the drive" , I shot his most serious and gloomy film. No, true: for two hours and indeed there is not a single joke. But there is ohmmazhi "Suspiria" Dario Argento and the whole genre of Jallo in general, a juicy picture, an excellent soundtrack, a non-trivial reading of a hackneyed plot about ghosts, as well as talented Thomasin Mackenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy. The only thing you can complain about is to the fact that "Last night in Soho" completely incompetent as a horror. It is clearly visible at what moments Wright is trying to catch up with Sassens, but the lack of experience is affected, and therefore at least a film is capable of scaring the most pampered and impressionable audience. But the picture is regularly intriguing, and the plot turns a couple of times in completely unexpected directions.
Arkyn
About what: Piltover is a beautiful, but cruel place. While in the upper city the rich people walk along neat pavements and enjoy the benefits of technological progress, in gloomy slums people breathe poisonous evaporates and earns on food by any methods. Once the poor tried to raise a rebellion, but the authorities suppressed it hard and bloody. It was then that the sisters wai and the Pauder is orphaned and came to the education of a good -natured healthy man to Vander. Now they, together with other street children, are engaged in small theft in the elite areas of the Piltover. But the girls could not even imagine that an unsuccessful raid on the laboratory of a young scientist would launch a chain of events that would forever change not only their fate, but also the fate of the whole world.
What they say: As if you do not know. On Rotten Tomatoes in "Arke" It flaunts 100% of critics and 97% of the audience. It is already called one of the best, if not the best animated series in history, as well as the most successful adaptation of video games. Oh yes: this, if that, adaptation League of Legends , But to understand the lorus and the plot of the show, you do not have to play at all in it. So it should be! Always! Is it really difficult to understand that references for fans of the original is wonderful, but you also need a self -sufficient story with bright characters? Both of the Arkyn have, and even in a framed from a stunning visual. We do not know what gods the French were made by the French from the studio Fortiche Production , But they sold out in full: nothing more beautiful on small screens came out of the premiere "Claus".
Boy named Christmas
About what: Once upon a time, in the distant (by the standards of the British) Finland took and hopeful. The annoyed king on this occasion gathered all the poor in the palace and instructed them to go to the farthest corners of the country and bring something from there that would make the lives of all people a little brighter. Lumberjack Joel immediately remembered the secret village of Elves, about which the deceased wife told him, and, collecting the guys stronger, he left in search of a magical people. And he disappeared … Then a son went after him – a red -haired guy Nicholas, whom her mother called the strange word "Christmas" in childhood.
What they say: A couple of years ago, Netflix took for the tradition to release cozy old -fashioned fairy tales on the eve of the winter holidays. "A boy named Christmas" – just one of them, and the most beautiful. Snowy mountains, dense forests, a magic village – everything is removed very lamp and gives away "Chronicle of Narnia". However, it is important to understand that this is not fantasy, but a fairy tale: there are a lot of conventions, a drop of absurdity and humor, designed primarily for the young audience. This charming booth was played with talented actors, including Toby Jones, Jim Brodbent, Sally Hokins, Kristen Wig and Star "Ghosts of the house on the hill" Mihil Huysman. And the narrator is Professor McGonagall – Maggie Smith herself. If you are looking for what to see with the younger ones or do not mind returning to childhood, “Boy named Christmas” is perfect for a cozy winter evening.
Crazy God
About what: The conceited little people erected a Babylonian tower and thereby angry the deity. In punishment, it cursed the earth, and since then it has been festering, giving rise to exceptionally disgusting creatures. Over time, a certain semblance of civilization arose on it – as vile and meaningless as everything around. It is not known where and it is not known why the soldier came down to the damned lands. He has a map that is rapidly scattering into pieces every time he takes out it because of his bosom. But whether she will help the wanderer if in his way dozens of monsters reveling in their own agony?
What they say: Phil Tyubpett is one of the main Hollywood specialists in puppet animation and special effects in general. It is his hand that belongs imperial steps at-a from "Star Wars" and clumsy ED-209 from "Robokop". It was he who created dinosaurs for "Jurassic Park" and arachnids for "Star landing". But even having mastered digital technologies, Typett wanted to return to wire, plasticine and dolls-to something real. To create "Crazy God" From the first concepts to the final installation it took him for 30 years. And the result is impressive … This, of course, is a pure art house: an author's vision, not closed by any concern for the viewer. The tape resembles the canvases of the surrealist of Zdzislav Bexinsky, the clips of the Slipknot group and the terrible domestic cartoons of the perestroika period. On the screen, all the well -known vices of mankind get their most extravagant, the most vile, but at the same time the most recognizable embodiment. The graternance takes from the realization that someone made all this, collected, and then pouring over each frame. Titanic work, the result of which will be appreciated only by a few fans of the author's animation.
