In addition to being utterly pointless and impressively out of touch, the show isn't funny, at least in any conventional sense. It doesn't make any sensible points about anything even remotely relevant, which makes it wholly redundant in the modern entertainment world. After watching the first episode, I see no reason for this show to exist. This is the kind of show that does not even deserve one star... which really, really sucks because I like Seth Rogan. Seth should distance himself immediately from this train wreck. I respect his previous work, which is why I am not going to rip into this one the way it deserves, because Seth doesn't deserve it.

The Neon Demon
(2016)
The neon demon is a truthful, albeit exaggerated representation of how normal people normally react under not normal circumstances.

Fame and fortune are very nice things to have, indeed...
Now what we have here is a tale of a country girl coming to a big city looking for both of the things mentioned above, I.e., fame and fortune.
But, the thing about this movie that is different is that the girl finds fame and fortune... "but can she keep it?", is the main question here.
Our protagonist is thrown into the cut-throat world of the beauty business where not much holds barred. In this surreal world where what we'd consider to be aberrant behavior is the norm a lot can go wrong for our protagonist, lest she be vigilant and see the danger.
Now just to make myself perfectly clear, this movie is not about crazy people it's about people becoming crazy in order to survive in the do-or-die world of high fashion. If you want to see something like that then this motion picture is for you.

A Thing Completely Distinct
3 May 2016
First and foremost, I am not going to bore you by dighting redundant synopses or herrying superficial details, I am just going to cut right to the chase and talk about the raw, at times wlatsome, emotion in which this participial film dabbles and therewith I shall besay to you why this film is so good.
It is so good because: "what it begins with, what things appear or happen in the opening shot, I could not tell you (mainly due to the fact that I was awake for about 30 to 35 hours straight at the point in time when I started to watch this film), but despite all of that I can still tell you what I felt, which is incredibly rare. At the beginning of this film, I felt claustrophobic, uncomfortable and a little bit confused, and what is more incredible is that I felt the same exact things at the end of this film. From the very ord to the very end, it span me 360 degrees with such emotional might and main that my head wouldn't stop spinning for quite a considerable throw thereafter. I think this is the best complement I can pay to a film, in that it is something new and fresh, something which the most part of men have never laid eyes upon, a thing completely distinct, but more than that is that unlike thousands of other movies that I have watched in my lifetime this is one of those rare few from which I walked away feeling something very strong for quite some time and that is worth a lot in my humble opinion."

The epitome of teen angst
18 June 2014
Recently, I came across this movie, by pure chance, at a house of one of my Russian expatriate friends and the first thought that popped into my head was that this was yet another Russian totally down-right unwatchable piece of crap movie, but my friend ,however, went out of her way to laud and extol this movie and ,in sooth, she forced me to give it a watch and for that I'm glad now.
First and foremost, it is the first Russian movie in which I heard strong language used left and right.
Now about the story. The plot centers on three school BBFs (Katya, Vika and Zhanna)going through the teenage angst phase. They are wallflower type girls, though, they are no different from their peers in that that they believe the school to be the be-all and the end-all of everything.
Brimming with angst the wallflower girls decide to embark on a journey (they decide to go to the school party, simply put) that, they are sure, will let them escape the tedium of the listless suburban life. Little did they know that the notorious "teenage angst" was bound to upend their lives forever and ever.
They start making plans and indulging in day-dreaming about how the journey they're on (the school party) should turn out for them. Their grand plan is quite simple to go together to the party and shine there. But no, no such luck!
The shattering of their best-made plans of going together to the school party triggers a chain-reaction which takes them to some very dark places all courtesy of teenage angst and putting some stupid "pipe- dream" first at all costs.
