Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
— long-take.blogspot.com — Shoot 'Em Up is a new age B-movie, not a homage, not a tribute but the real... deal.

It's a film where baby cords are blown by guns and rivals say "fuck you" to each other by blowing up letters in neon signs. Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

Where Have Wachowskies Been Hurtling Toward?: A Career Analysis
— long-take.blogspot.com — The psyches of Wachowskis have been irreparably marred by the events that followed the release of The... Matrix. From then on they would give up adding intellect to what was done in the past and increasing the complexity of their subject matter, they would strive to remove the complexity while retaining a self-serious demeanor, rather than admitting their work is a caricature the way Tarantino does.
