Nightcrawler (2014) - ENG


Nightcrawler, ladies and gentlemen. 

Rate: Shady-dark-psycho.

TheMentalist  season No 7 has already began for good and we are  wondering why people like me and you are still watching this series, since after the ‘spectacular’ death of RedJohn we expect absolutely nothing new to happen. So, let’s leave the rest of the crap to the writers and producers to try to find a way to resurrect RedJohn in order to continue our boring torture. 

While we are still wondering, let’s say a couple of things for one of the movies we’ve been waiting (that is I was ...) for some time now to be released. Nightcrawler ladies and gentlemen is the name of the last film of our beloved JakeGyllenhaal (we also adore his sis in a couple of semi-nude films where she was great…) and the film is dedicated to the ones who cannot sleep at night and trying to find a way to escape from their insomniac boredom.

Of course, for those who know the basics, we do not refer to the great Kurt Wagner (favorite religious ‘Nightcrawler’ with the devil’s tail from Χ-Men…) but let’s say a couple of things for the new JakeG’s ‘dark’ film. 

One more dark and subterraneous disabled-genius-alike character from old pal-Jake and the recipe for a nice and enjoyable movie is ready. JakeG takes a camera and runs around Los Angeles mostly during night time, trying to catch with his genius-director-wanna be eye anything which is possible to be sold at a TV station, faster than all the others who are doing this shitty job.

During the way though, his unsociability skills and his ‘sick’ passion for the job drive him little crazier than he usually reacts. Co-worker and necessary ‘tool’ the Bangladeshi-indian guy (Mr. RizAhmed plays his role quite well…) acting as a co-pilot and needing desperately some money to survive whilst he is ready to do almost anything for $30.00 day work (actually night work…) with no social insurance, bonus, 13th salary, vacation, commissions, provident fund, etc etc.

All news captured from the Dynamic Duo can be sold to the highest bidder and the ones who will be standing at the blood arena will be the winners. 

1 hour and 54 minutes approximately of a lonely-dark, pure night L.A. action for those who have troubles sleeping and always keep one eye open counting sheep, elephants, or your favorite animal.
Wine in small portions is necessary but do not overdo it, since you have to have a steady hand while filming. Say cheeeeeeese...

Bonus: One more score for the retirement of our favorite Texan, Bill Paxton. We love Bill (not the one with the white-goo-stain…) since 1986, when he was trying desperately (but with no result…) to kill our favorite ALIENS.

Moral Lesson / Precept: If it bleeds, it leads…

We liked: In general, we like everything which is by default dark, twisted, wicked, etc etc. In addition, we had a long time to see the brand new stretched face of Mrs.R.Russo. Eyebrow, eye, nostril, upper lip all in one simultaneous move... Age is a bitch and getting old sucks. You can ask me how I sometimes piss myself (just a little bit…) when I am trying to blow my glorious nose. Reflexes man. Damn automatic reflexes. 

Should I watch it? Suuuuure.Yeappppp.

Memorabilia
Everything Mr. JakeG. says is pre-calculated from a sophisticated monstrous wicked mind which is truly adorable to observe in action. His whole posture, speech, humano-inter-attitude and his role in general may remind you the geek guy sitting at the back desk, to whom now you have to say ‘Hi’ when you meet him at the street - taking his iguana for a walk - if you want to go back to your place in one piece…The whole movie is a brute tribute to modern ‘social’ loneliness (which certain people have adopted as way of life – writer’s included…) and how a ‘weirdo’ can act and behave as much painlessness as he/she can (for the sake of himself and others…) in order to be ‘accepted’ from the ‘normal’ pack/herd. Of course, this will never happen, but we do our best. Indicative lines of Mr.Bloom

You can find almost everything if you look hard enough. (be aware what you post for yourself at the so called ‘social’ media…you never know who is reading your shit!!!)

You have to have a business plan, before starting a business.

There are certain good things about being alone.

A friend is a gift to give yourself. (That is deep and true…)

What if my problem wasn’t that I don’t understand people, but that I don’t like them. (Yeap, finally we hear the TRUTH…I can start crying now knowing that I am not the only one out there!!!)
