Christopher Radcliff recommended Violence at Noon (1966) in Movies (curated)

"I’m a huge fan of Nagisa Oshima, and Empire of Passion and Violence at Noon are two of my favorites of his that Criterion has released. They give a good example of both his shifting stylistic capabilities as well as his consistently provocative and trenchant thematic tendencies. While both these films deal with elements of sexual obsession, predation, and social hegemony, on the surface they are totally distinct, Empire being a gorgeous, classically styled ghost story and Violence at Noon being a fractured, modernist New Wave masterpiece."

Humor, violence, story are all an unpleasantly malicious affair. (0 more)
Unpleasant
I hated this movie from start to finish. I don't mind ulraviolent satire, but this movie was unpleasantly malicious throughout.

My advice, go watch Robocop (The original)

Rolling Stone's 344th greatest album of all time
A solid concept album, yet a hard listen at times, documenting as it does, a turbulent relationship dealing with drug addiction, domestic violence, and children being taken into care.

Violence violence and more violence! Karl Urban is great (0 more)
Not for everyone, especially if youre squeamish (0 more)
The Boys is adrenaline fueled "shock" TV at its best. It is begging you to watch it, even if it sometimes makes it hard to watch. But what makes The Boys work so well is under all the drugs, sex and violence, it has a lot to say.

The show follows Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) as he recruits a team of people who have bern wronged by Superheroes. In The Boys universe, the superheroes tend to not care so much about callateral damage, and honestly, most of them are douchebags (think Captain Hammer from Dr Horrible's evil singalong blog) .

As we learn more about their word the show not only becomes an obvious satire on superhero culture, but the our society as a hole. The religion episode, is one that really stands out as not being afraid to take shots.

The effects, mostly work pretty well, and nothing was bad enough to take me out of the escapeism. The acting is a bit all over the place, but Karl Urban really commands the screen.

It should be said that this is not for everyone. It is one of the mist graphic (non horror) things I have ever seen, and if you're not used to it you may find yourself checking out early. If you can handle the violence, it's worth it

Ryan Reynolds
How could you not love this movie, Ryan Reynolds did an amazing job. It is hilarious, full of violence, breaks the fourth-wall and is just all round a great film.
