It's insulting."), and I just loved everything technical about Only God Forgives and get what Refn was trying to say with the film, but a movie should be so good that you want to find all the subtleties in it, like Drive, and not only good if you can find all the subtleties in it. And I'm basing my grade on quality more then personal opinion. 'Cause then I would give everything from Basic Instinct to 300 an A+ and that's not a fair judgment on cinema.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059813680559966539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-54155547077925049972015-05-18T13:31:25.803-04:002015-05-18T13:31:25.803-04:00I don't even think it's that bad!I don't even think it's that bad!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-47662425811043871052015-05-17T15:00:02.845-04:002015-05-17T15:00:02.845-04:00Saw it recently, Only God Forgives.

His "American films" are endless re-watchable, for me. I get that you have a lot of work going on, but I was thinking that you should add Paul Verhoeven to your "to do list". (For God sake, you added two of his films in this and more other lists.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059813680559966539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-29330204142655227502014-11-10T12:38:45.328-05:002014-11-10T12:38:45.328-05:00I love Basic Instinct and the Bill and Ted films. ...I love Basic Instinct and the Bill and Ted films.
