Some of the subtle intentional bad cuts and line reading acting pull the blunt parody script together where it might have been simply cringe. Keeping the series to 6 episodes helps keep it condensed and effective as well. Full Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EkN8WtFTpE&list=PLC046BB28463E1459
Based, well paced and thematic. The whole film feels like an audio book with a montage of visuals and catchy tunes to match the settings. Some of the characters are a bit over the top at times and can be askew in their behaviors, but the story moves at such a brisk pace it makes up for it
4.1 Stars An adventure film with serious themes, stakes and consequences, yet a jestful mood thanks to the two jack-of-all-trades, enterprising protagonists played by Sean Connery and Micheal Caine. The film is set up as a tragedy from the first scene where Micheal Caine's character appears, which makes parts a bit predictable, even if you are unfamiliar with the text, but the film is definitely worth...
3.9 Stars For me the best thing about this film is the Aramaic and Latin spoken throughout, it got me more absorbed than any other film I can think of that depicts the death of Jesus. Jesus really gets torn up, even before crucifixion, there is so much blood loss even just from his initial scourging after being sentenced to death. The inclusion of the Devil as a character that only Jesus can see...
The best mix of goofy and exciting bond elements working together to make a fun theme park ride of a film. Internet Movie Firearm Database: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Man_with_the_Golden_Gun,_The
A bleak, disheveled and decrepit comedy following two young, out of work actors, who share a flat in 1969. Something about the framing, directing and editing makes Withnail & I feel both absurd and realistic at the same time. The best scenes use comedic disgust, repulsion or anxiety very effectively and made me feel like I hated and sympathized with the two main character, matching the self loathing...
A great history biographical pic that gets it's juice from emotional acting and exploring pitfalls of pride and ridgid thinking
On The Waterfront is still a good film after so many years. expressive dialogue, acting and directing all around. I felt it was a bit over-dramatic at times, but the plot wraps up in such an iconic way, making a film you won't forget
Excellent War Drama about the Dichotomy of effective command and bureaucratic command as well as the tolls incurred when they clash
Classic Situational Humor with hyper-real interpersonal dynamics of a small town community and its place in the wider cultural sphere
3.3 Stars The Starship Troopers film is a pretty solid sci-fi action flick. The CGI has not aged the best and characters are a bit corny, but it pulls through with good casting and sudden impactful scenes. The film could have been far better if it mirrored the book closer. The lack of mechanized combat suits for the Mobile Infantry really disappointed me in the film version. Characters, especially...
The lure of a street rap lifestyle is hard for a cracker to resist. Short Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPSgoW1VElM
3.4 Stars Full series: https://archive.org/details/zeta-gundam-720p-eng-sub/Z+Gundam/Zeta+Gundam+-+Ep+01+-+The+Black+Gundam.mp4 A stylish, big mech, war crime series. The lore may have escaped me a bit, but from what I could tell, being born off earth in outer space makes a human a potential psychic who can sense feelings, influence others and react quickly. There is a power struggle going on in...
An Andrew Ruse MDE Joint. The OST for this is good enough for any actual box office detective/cop film. Full Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9NXhBYxa7Y&t=1s
Canceled MDE concept for a series taking inspiration from and parodying American public access talk shows. Episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKGQ5tbA3DM&t
Strange film that was written by Paul Jarrico, who was blacklisted for his anti-American political leanings in the McCarthy era. Hosts some off color subjects for the time of its release, including Patrick McGoohan smoking doinks, and a mix race couple. Its loosely based off Othello, but I really just exists to showcase jazz of the time. Its like a proto-woke film in some sense of the phrase. Some...
3.7 Stars A Retro FPS in the Warhammer 40,000 style that is pretty fun, but basic and repetitive. There are 3 chapter in which the player's weaponry of the same 12 guns resets after every level, to be picked up again in a different order in the next. The same 3 bosses appear at least twice throughout the game and there is not a unique final boss. There are some platforming aspects to areas that...
Not as good as the book, it gets about 75 percent of the heart of the matter across. "I've been a so-called coward and a so-called hero and there's not the thickness of a sheet of paper between them. Maybe cowards and heroes are just ordinary men who, for a split second, do something out of the ordinary. That's all."
One of the first major feature 3D films, fraught with production woes. Vincent price carries this corny macabre movie like so many others he is in. There are some pretty decent supporting actors including a young Charles Bronson
