呆瓜对对碰

　　二战期间，一队年轻的澳大利亚士兵乘船穿越帝汶海时，船只不幸沉没。他们登上了一艘不断破损、空间日渐狭小的救生筏，必须在严酷的海上环境中寻找求生之路。此时，他们身处茫茫大海，四周数百英里内荒无人烟，不仅要应对士兵间的人际冲突与敌人的袭击，还得直面一头体型庞大、饥肠辘辘的大白鲨的步步逼近。

肯塔基州路易斯维尔的俄亥俄谷摔跤是一个地区摔跤馆，其校友包括布洛克·莱斯纳，米兹，约翰·塞纳，戴夫·包蒂斯塔和兰迪·奥顿。这家健身房曾经是培养有抱负的职业摔跤手的傲人的精修学校，但后来却陷入了困境。广受赞誉的摔跤手艾尔·斯诺坚持老派的摔跤哲学，强调讲故事，但尽管有一些死粉丝的爱，健身房每周都在努力保持足够的影响力，以保持其大门开放。财务状况变得如此糟糕，以至于阿尔不得不将大部分股份出售给当地的一群商人，其中包括肯塔基州最受欢迎的广播名人马特·琼斯。马特和新的所有权集团为这家苦苦挣扎的健身房注入了急需的现金，但它仍然处于惊人的亏损状态。新老板给了艾尔一个夏天的时间来扭转局面。《摔跤手》讲述了Al和他的一群有抱负的摔跤手在努力拯救这个历史悠久的体育馆的同时，努力实现个人抱负和彼此之间的斗争。

　　法国人自己拍摄的关于18世纪法国文豪巴尔扎克的生平传奇，由大鼻子扮演的巴尔扎克是本片最大的看点，电影围绕着这位桀骜不驯的怪才不平淡的一生，把他的婚姻、爱情、小说创作和家庭关系一一进行剖析，突破了过往对巴尔扎克的完美塑造，将他描绘成一个性格古怪、脾气暴躁、风流倜傥、最后因痴肥而卧床不起的失败男人--也许事业上是成功者，但生活上他是个地地道道的失败者。
　　阿尔当扮演的女子是巴尔扎克在生命弥留时的最大安慰，整部戏很有文艺味道，影片将那无可奈何式的人生落幕表现得很哀惋。

　　Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals.
　　
　　"King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.
　　
　　From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.
　　
　　The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.
　　
　　The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.
　　
　　Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
