All that's left is this foolish idea that they're supposed to be together. It's like... they're crazy.

Margin Call
(2011)
|
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
|
A film like this -- with a large cast and a big subject -- needs a clear, concise vision, a strong hand, and Margin Call just doesn't have it.

It is four and a half hours long, but it's got enough plot for at least 30 movies.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)
(2011)
|

|
It tries to be more disgusting, more outrageous than this idea of a 12-person human centipede. The result is, by design, absolutely no good.

Though it's got a few good ideas going for it, Father of Invention doesn't seem to know what kind of movie it wants to be.
