![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the film slows down whenever it becomes a buddy comedy starring William and Tovar. ![]() Who could remain unmoved after watching a group of individuals dangle, thrust, and throw everything they've got at a legion of deranged-looking creatures? In the latter scenes, the art department flexes their collective muscles with every lionhead-shaped helmet and barbed offensive weapon. But no, the film's action set pieces are not only thrillingly large-scale, but visually rapturous, despite a preponderance of computer-generated imagery. There are a handful of well-choreographed and well-directed, Damon-centric action sequences, but it's very easy to be seduced by scenes that focus on impersonal warfare. You can imagine how hard that philosophy might be to enforce given that it demands a big enough budget to focus on two warring armies' clashing maneuvers. The army works together as a unit, just as the Tei Tao do. The film's action scenes also exemplify a sense of precise, shared responsibility that one rarely sees in action-spectaculars. In that sense, the scene where William admits that he killed a Tei Tao "alone," without the aid of Tovar or his slain mercenary colleagues, is a significant reminder of the film's communal ideology: William, as an undisciplined loner, must prove that he's worth just as much as a selfless Chinese soldier. ![]() On the contrary, the impassive faces of the Nameless Order's soldiers remind us that all of these people, together, are remarkable. Each crowd shot in this film is remarkable, but not because director Zhang Yimou ("Hero," " House of Flying Daggers") and his assistant directors know how to direct extras. They launch themselves at their enemies using pulleys, bungee cords, hot-air balloons, boulder-spewing catapults, and many, many arrows. But eventually, William and Tovar's agendas drift apart after William becomes seduced by the formal control and selfless zeal that defines the Nameless Order.Īnd who wouldn't be impressed? The Nameless Order marches around in colorful suits of armor that come in hues of indigo, crimson and cerulean. William and Tovar are initially unmoved by the Nameless Order's considerable plight they want to make their fortunes by stealing gunpowder from their hosts, and selling it to European traders. The monster, they are told, is a "Tei Tao," one of a horde of creatures that attacks the now-famous Great Wall of China once every 60 years. Damon and Pascal play William and Tovar, respectively, wandering European mercenaries who are captured by the Chinese army of the Nameless Order shortly after they slay a mysterious green monster. ![]()

![]() It’s an original composition by a low-key music duo called Folk Uke, two strummers whose oeuvre also includes tunes with names like “Knock Me Up” and “Shit Makes the Flowers Grow.” But while Folk Uke is below-the-radar, its members aren’t, exactly: they’re Amy Nelson and Cathy Guthrie, whose respective fathers ( Willie Nelson and Arlo Guthrie) are both folk-music royalty. You can be forgiven for having no idea where this song came from. Which would be funny enough, but gets even better when two voices begin to harmonize so sweetly it’ll take you a moment to realize exactly what they’re saying: It’s a visceral gut punch of a finish-and as the screen cuts to orange, then black, it’s immediately undercut by the cheery sound of ukuleles being strummed. (Another win for O.I.N.T.B.'s music supervisor: the horrifying montage in which they hack apart the corpse is scored by Papa Roach’s “Last Resort.” You know, “Cut my life into pieces. Then there’s the season’s opener, which- spoiler alert!-ends with a trio of inmates conspiring to conceal a murder by chopping up the body and burying the pieces in Litchfield’s garden. An hour that ends with a guard committing an inmate he likes to a terrible fate ends with an incongruously upbeat, dancehall-ready song called “Bloody Monster” one that finishes with another character realizing, with growing horror, that she’s allied herself with a group of white supremacists concludes with “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” the Nazi anthem from Cabaret. Among the season’s most standout elements, though, are the carefully selected songs that close out each episode, chosen in the name of emotional resonance or wry irony (or both!). Her fractured relationships from within prison do not mean much anymore, but her life outside, and what she can influence has become the cornerstone of her existence.There are a lot of great things about the fourth season of Orange Is the New Black-across-the-board powerful performances, a beautifully calibrated tone that strikes a tricky balance between comedy and tragedy, an abundance of shocking, “holy shit!” moments that nonetheless feel wholly appropriate and earned. Tasha has found a new life within the prison to teach people, to give love rather than expecting love back - that’s her happiness now.Īs for Cindy her homeless journey is devastating, but in the end, at least she stood up and decided to take responsibility for her daughter. “Here’s Where We Get Off” is not entirely following the rulebooks of how the prison has worked so far, but how could they not provide a send-off?īut the damning moment comes when Tasha is about to kill herself, but then she sees the certificates of her students she has tutored - the gut-wrenching moment comes when we see Tiffany’s certificate - she passed. “Why do you always feel so inevitable to me?” was not throw away line - it was the blueprint for the inevitable ending, and it’s much stronger than Ross and Rachel.īut there are a few moments that force you to well up Suzanne’s memorial for Tiffany was brilliant - getting the character to stand in the middle of the prison with her eyes closed and sing for her deceased friend was the kind of fan service I was talking about. This was never meant to be a tear-jerker - it was a sensible end to Piper’s journey. ![]() We also get to see Piper and Alex challenged for one final moment but did any fan ever believe that these two would give up on each other? The ending is refreshing - Piper deciding to leave her old life behind entirely, to live in Ohio, to study and work hard, while she waits for the one person she can never get out of her head. ![]() For one last time, we see the change of Warden, as Tamika’s time ends after the latest overdose was one final blow to the company. ![]() “Here’s Where We Get Off” was all about moving on for the characters it presented us the confirmation of Tiffany’s death and the drug sweep that followed. ![]() I questioned back in Season 2 whether the story had longevity, even with Jenji Kohan‘s mastery with story concepts and character building, surely it would die out after three seasons.īut here we are, after seven long seasons we say goodbye and while it was less emotional than I expected, I think the fans will appreciate the little things Episode 13 opens up with a different rendition of the famous intro song, that I’ve skipped so many times, but this time I listened, as I may never hear it again. The first season catapulted Netflix into a whole new dynamic of content, and what it meant to produce original series’. Orange Is the New Black has been a success. ![]() ![]() I really don’t have any power to influence VSCO girl culture here, but I will say: Wouldn’t it be nice if the VSCO girl trend were more inclusive? Come on, teens. Pham created the video with her thin, white friend and, as admitted to Buzzfeed News, received several comments saying she doesn’t look like a VSCO girl, while her friend did-even though they were both doing and wearing the exact same things. Admittedly, a backpack is a comfy bag, especially compared with the other girl choices. Unique bags for men & women designed and sold by independent artists, printed when you order. Let’s take a look at 16-year-old YouTuber Mai Pham, who posted a “ VSCO girl transformation video” (a popular trend on the video platform). High-quality Vsco School durable backpacks with internal laptop pockets for work, travel, or sport. Even Brandy Melville is exclusionary by design-it only carries one size, and that size is usually small or extra small.” Buzzfeed News sums it up pretty well: “VSCO girls are, by and large, white, thin, and have enough money to buy the various high-end items the trend includes. Looking to get in on the action? Head to your local Simon and pick up these must-haves and channel your inner Emma Chamberlain.A post shared by emma chamberlain though, through my research, I’ve yet to come across a VSCO girl of color. Scroll down to see a few more VSCO girl essentials and keep an eye out next time you’re scrolling Instagram or out and about…you’ll definitely spy a few VSCO girls in your midst. Even a teen whos never been much for jewelry will appreciate these surfer-chic, stackable Pura Vida bracelets, which can be worn. Hydroflasks and metal straws are always close at hand in her Fjallraven backpack, and she’s never without her beloved Carmex lip balm. For starters, she’s likely wearing a massively oversized tee, Birkenstocks (or checkered Vans slip-ons), and a wrist full of Pura Vida bracelets and scrunchies (for the perfect top knot at any moment). Like the “basic,” avocado-loving Millennials that came before them, the VSCO girl has a few easily identifiable characteristics. In short, the term is a categorization for a certain subset of teens. Similar to Instagram, users can share photos of their daily lives and add a little warm-tinted magic to the pics that they plan to upload on their various social channels.Įnter: the VSCO girl. ![]() If you were born before 1995, you’re probably looking at the title of this story and wondering to yourself, “what on Earth is a V-S-C-O girl?!” Well, we’re here to help!
