...cartoonish "Pow" "Bam" "Boom" comics, with some of the most cartoonish characters (Joker, Two Face, Scarecrow, Cat Woman, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, and the Penguin), and make these cartoonish characters real In the Dark Knight, trying to make the Joker a real, less cartoony villain is certainly a challenge and part of where the real magic of...

The Doll Squad (1973)

2008-10-23 17:11:36 by dfordoom in Cult Movie Reviews
...cartoonish. But I was a bit shocked the first time one of the Doll Squad members knocked a bad guy out, then pulled out a gun and calmly pumped several rounds into his unconscious body. This turns out to standard operating procedure for these deadly dolls. And several members of The Doll Squad dont survive the movie. Its an odd touch of...

2008-11-07 10:10:32 by dfordoom in Cult Movie Reviews
...cartoonish feel. Olgas operation is actually funded by an international communist conspiracy aimed at undermining Americas youth Theres no synchronised sound, but there is a gloriously campy voice-over narration having the advantages of saving money and giving a quasi-documentary feel, and we also get a kind of running commentary by Olga...

...cartoonish violence and outrageous cartoonish sex. There are the usual surreal touches, with characters who keep appearing but theyre not really in the film at all, but theyre used to comment on the action (like Kitten Natividad as the Greek Chorus in Up! ), or maybe theyre just there because they have very large breasts and Russ thought the...

Shaolin Soccer

2007-10-12 23:03:00 by Gareth in gareth's movie diary
...cartoonish elements are often more successful than some of the CGI effects, which are less than seamlessly integrated with the "real" action, seeming to occupy different physical spaces (similarly, the CGI crowds at the soccer matches are devoid of atmosphere). Beyond all of the trickery, though, is a concern with those who are being left...

...cartoonish wide-eyed facial reactions) as Spielberg was desperately trying to counter-act the opressive darkness of the film. The problem with the Temple of Doom is not in the lack of humor but in the balancing of the contradictory elements. The perfect blending of scares, thrills and laughs that Spielberg achieved in Raiders becomes simply a...

DAY 18: Always (1989)

2007-08-18 18:05:00 by Damian in Windmills of My Mind
...cartoonish humor with Dorinda telling the men desiring to dance with her that they must first wash their hands. They all immediately rush to the bathroom to accommodate her wishes. Its a scene right out of Disneys Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and might make more sense if it were believable that the men would treat Dorinda like a goddess,...

Bollywood's Fab 4 in Three Takes

2007-11-10 18:02:00 by Sachin G. in Scribbles and Ramblings
...cartoonish dance stops (only Bollywood can turn a badminton court into a song prop) and egoistic actors. Then just before the interval, the humour is put on hold when a darkish element creeps into the story. But even this dark tragedy is in keeping with the movie's overall theme of poking fun at Bollywood as the story is an updated version of...

Tokyo Drifter

2007-07-26 23:14:00 by Pacze Moj in Critical Culture
...cartoonish style. Both films even have a catchy musical theme Tokyo Drifter is a film that works better as a series of stills than as a moving picture. Because when things start to move, you realize how goofy all the movements are. The punch-outs, the shoot-outs, the acting are all off. The same idea applies to the story. The right elements...
