Just perfect...

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Square Root of 964 Pinnochio...Yea, that's right, the official title is wrong, it's really the "Square Root" of 964 Pinnochio, seriously. I know, it's dumb...Essentially it deals with this robot named Pinnochio who's sole purpose and design was for sex, but apparently he can't have sex anymore...(someone sure got ripped off on that deal) and runs into some psychotic homeless woman who spends most of her time looking at people up close with her binoculars. Yea...and did I mention the square root is completely unrelated to the rest of the movie with exception to the title screen?....Now...I have seen one other pieces of this guy's work, ala 'Tetsuo'...which...I didn't even get through 10 minutes of because it was that bad. I probably shouldn't have watched this all the way through, but I wasn't about to allow another movie defeat me, and especially from the same producer, plus my friend was there and he was required to review this sorry piece of-....well you know.Plot? Haha, there was a plot to this thing? Pray tell if someone knows then do tell me because from what I could see there was no discernible plot. All this movie was at a base level was a pile of human puke mixed in with fecal matter from a bull, which, ironically enough, puke seemed to be a recurring motif, let that set the tone for the rest of the movie that you are about to watch. The acting was garbage (literally maybe 15-25 lines total of dialogue), special effects were horribly misused, and the jump cut tactic was overused throughout the movie, but the scenes where one was expected, or in some cases, would actually be welcome, just left you hanging. And whoever did the photography for this movie was on some serious hash or something, whatever it was, must have been some very strong stuff, and probably very illegal too...My 2 cents: Have no illusions my friends, this movie is not art, and it can't even be put in the genre of surrealism. And to be honest with you, I don't even know if the previous reviews were reviewing the same movie I watched, perhaps they thought they were seeing a different movie, and I sincerely hope that indeed is the case. Stay in bed under your covers, bury yourself in your lover's embrace, don't bother seeing this movie, for it will be your only safety from it.

"964 Pinocchio" is a film about a robot designed for sex that can no longer have sex (it must have been off warranty) who bumps into a psychotic homeless vagrant (if that isn't too redundant) and *SPOILER* takes vengeance on his creators.Now, this movie was made by the same guy who made "Gozu" and "Visitor Q", so that should have been enough for me to stop watching. But my stubbornness did not permit me to do so.The plot: Very nearly nonexistent. Special effects: The homeless woman vomits what appears to be day-old guacamole...and then eats it a second time. Screen-play: There are maybe 20 lines in the whole movie, and maybe 5 or 6 different sets. Acting: 964 writhing like a baby-bird in the homeless woman's lap. The photography: Looks to have been shot by Jim Carrey and Tom Green during a crystal-methamphetamine bender.The bottom line: Do not, I repeat, do not see this film--if such a word could be applied to this pretentious garbage. Do not let the previous reviews give you the impression that this is an actual piece of art, or even a movie. Run from this movie. Go see "Begotten" or "El Topo" instead. It's for your own good.

******SPOILERS AHEAD*******Do you want to know what horror crap is? YOU Don't WANNA KNOW! So, I'll tell you a funny story. It was a rainy afternoon, we were kind of sad because there wasn't any movies that we liked, so we went to Blockbuster, after picking The Descent we were getting ready to go when BOOM! My eyes turn to a movie, in the art section (how the hell did that got there?), the image shows me an ugly Japanese guy with a funny orange hair, and I say "hey, whats that?" so I turn the case and I read the synopsis and it says its a Japanese horror movie, so I say, "hey, should we check this out?" and one of my friends answers "hell yeah!". And thats how we made the worst mistake of our lives.Soon, we started watching the movie, the first minutes were random images, sex images, and we were like "Man, did we rented a porn?". Right after those """"hot"""" scenes the movie shows us this Asian girl seated on the street and the funny hair man running towards her. After 10 *bleep* minutes of watching the guy running (I mean it, 10 minutes), this guy starts like becoming mustard or something, and the girl goes crazy, she starts like dancing and then she stops and starts... puking... everywhere, leaving her... stuff ... all over the place... UGH is so painful writing this... Well apparently Pinocchio was a sex cyborg designed for girls who wanted to have fun, yeah that sounds so bad... and he escaped from the cyborg facility and apparently became a monster or something and... well let me tell you the ending, because I don't think anyone will ever see this.****SUPER SPOILERS****** At the end, the girl starts screaming at Pinocchio "DIE, DIE" and then, they both scream and she rips her face off (yes, her face) and a new head grows from her neck... some gray horrible huge ugly face... and then Pinocchio grabs that face and cuts it off, and then he places that head in himself. THE END. WUARGGHHHHH!!! ******SUPER SPOILERS-END*******Ugh, is the most disgusting, stupid, weird, sexual, insulting, and extremely gross movie I have ever seen. There is nothing good about it, my friends and I were screaming like little girls disgusted when we saw those two freaks playing with their tongues and when the girl started eating her vomit. I mean, if you don't feel disgusted right now...If I could give this a zero, I would, but, I cant, so here it is: "1"

This is one of my favorite films. It seems to deal with a society in which people have been made into commodities, and it focuses on principal characters who have become discarded.Rather than take a heavy handed or moralistic stance, Shozin Fukui brings a strangely restrained humor and an extreme, hysterical weirdness to the story. Along with Shinya Tsukamoto's 'Tetsuo' it is one of the classics of Japanese mutation film. (It is said that Fukui actually worked on 'Tetsuo.')The cinematography is amazing, ranging from ponderous and Tarkovsky-like to accelerated stop-motion.The performers are wonderful and likeable. Hage Suzuki is like a spastic butoh performer having a constant seizure. Onn-Chan's amazing face seems to have been genetically grown for the specific purpose of being viewed by wide-angle lenses. (Where did these people come from and why is it hard to find any information on them?!)As an added bonus, this film has what has been touted as the most prolonged vomiting sequence in cinema history.
