    Naked

    ★★½

    A bit more engaging than I thought it would be but it’s not all that funny and gets quite repetitive.

  • A Little Thing Called Love

    A Little Thing Called Love

    ★★½

    I feel like I could understand this better if I was younger. Just feels really corny and distorted in reality and takes forever to end. Whatever sweet moments there were had been forgotten by its necessity to drag.

    Cannibal Holocaust

    ½

    There are several effective elements in Cannibal Holocaust, like the music and how it was used, (some) good acting, realistic blood and gore effects and good editing.

    That being said, any movie that uses real animal cruelty and / or extreme animal violence deserves the lowest score possible. As far as extreme cinema is concerned, I have seen Salò, A Serbian Film and Irréversible; but Cannibal Holocaust is the most offensively trashy of the lot. At least those films don't rely on the gratuitous murder of animals as an excuse for their shock value.
