Adam Sandler is slowly reaching the age of retirement and thinking over his life, realizes he does not want to be remembered as a terrible comedy actor of poopee humor, so he becomes the actor in a film, that offers some vague themes on redemption, inner-exploration and the beyond. Do you think I got that right? Yeah, overall this film is not that bad. fairly light on the pozz, with the most offensive...
Das Lied ist Aus is a great little musical romance I discovered via a rendition of "Adieu, mein kleiner Gardeoffizier" and it's just one of several good musical numbers throughout this film, which is a good romance and comedy in it's own right. Basically it follows a romance between Tilla Morland a temperamental socialite and kunstelerin and a cold, aloof and introverted man she has hired as her private...
I feel like I need to give me my 2 cents on this film, I will hit right home, Starship Troopers is many things, it is, for all intents and purposes not a "satire" or for that matter a "satire on fascism", I will break down why I think so. First, a satire need to be so, clearly and unequivocally, it's needs to be seen as a satire by both the people you are trying to satirize, as well as the in-crowd,...
I thought this would be a cruddy Hollywood pandering to Appalachian people and since it wasn't taking place in Appalachia it wouldn't be any good. Â But as an Appalachian who has been stuck outside of Appalachia so much of his whole life in Indiana the movie boomed in me. Like I feel so out of place with modern society outside of Appalachia and my soul hurts every day I see Appalachia changing for...
This is a Christian film, but the religious elements are never in your face, but grown out of the setting and time period, it's a tale of a young boy who accidentally causes a boy to fall of a cliff and then he has to deal with his guilt and the sister of the boy with forgiving him. In my opinion the film deals well with certain moral issues, guilt and forgiveness primarily, but also with moving on...
A made-for-tv production, this film worst aspect is the picture and sound quality, which aren't very good, but if you look past it you get an average, but well written story about a family surviving apocalyptic event that wipes out most of humanity. Bonus is that it's not some kind of Mad Max-ripoff, the films is to old for that, but in staid we get a very family-focused, survival drama which at times...
Never read the book, but decided to check out this film, it's an adaption of The Fountainhead, by everyone's favorite loony Jewess Ayn Rand, and there is plenty to like about this film, for one it's a good idea film, even though it's completely ridiculous and one-sided at many times. How to I explain the feel this film has? Basically it's like watching someone with mild aspergers, narrating a scenario...
Yes, I am surprised nobody has reviewed this film yet, because it should be right up many people's alleys, but perhaps it's popularity has caused this action-flick to be ignored. 300 is in my opinion a fairly important influence on White conscious for many reasons, the first and main reason is that its a luscious, big-budget action flick, over-the-top, melodramatic and historically inaccurate, but...
This film about an old lady delaying a project to dam the Tennessee-river, has many things going for it, strong characters, stubborn pride, a love of once roots and place of birth, the value of cheap negro-labor, in that sense I recommend this film to anyone interested, it paints a picture that has many things to like about the spirit of the South, but... There is also a minor, but clear plot point...
Shock Treatment, not to be confused with the terrible 80's musical, is a decent attempt at an insane asylum mystery, the cast is good, most notably Roddy McDowall as Martin Ashley is perfectly believable, I think it's the eyes, anyway he doesn't overplay it, which is always important. The cast is far to mixed, certainly for the time period, what I mean by this is that there are actually more black...
A solid comedy film with a good masculine male lead, very little questionable content and a good White main-cast. This film never gets truly wacky or over the top, which helps build up the plot. There is some preaching in the film, but this doesn't get heavy handed or over the top either. The story is silly, but works for a comedy film, a quarterback gets accidentally pulled out of his body before...
Cheesy Italian rip-off, that is somewhat enjoyable, but not that much, where this film straight-out fails is the acting and dialogue, it's not that bad most of the time, except when it is and then it's really bad. The action sequences border on anywhere from corny to decent and almost nobody in this film can act. That's it, For fun, watch this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsvtyU5Qtc4
I watched this film thinking I was going to see some crazy hysterical take on the dangers of role-playing games, when in reality it's just a mediocre college drama about a group of friends, college life, romance, their hobby and one of their friends developing schizophrenia, that's it. It's literally not a satanic panic scare in any sense of the word, it just has a D&D ripp-off called "Mazes and...
Spoony was one of my favorite reviewers 10+/- years ago when I was still watching a lot of those quirky YouTube reviewers that combined terrible media, with silly gags and over the top commentaries, a lot of those guys do not interest me, most notably "guy with the glasses" who is personally dislike, most likely for a good reason, but I like Spoony and for two good reasons. First I kinda like some...
Alright, I enjoyed this much more then I expected, it's certainly not "the greatest parody" I have ever seen, neither is this comedy really good, though a type of nerd will no doubt think it is, good for them, but I prefer more straight-forward serious stories. But what makes this a joy to watch is that it's just a long, silly homage to every bad Stephen King, horror anthology, made-for-tv, kitch...
A Dark Song is a solid character-drama build around two people performing a (mostly) genuine magic ritual from an early-modern grimoire, the quality of the film is build on the interactions of the two ritualists and the complexity and rigor of the ritual being performed. For example, aspects like ritual purification, which means no sex and fasting, magical circles, elementals and classes of demons...
This is a review not of the original Dune cut, but the much longer and improved version by Sp*ceDiver from 2012, which adds a lot of new material and improves the plot of the film, it's almost 3 hours long. It works, though some of the scenes are of a slightly lower quality. Dune by Lynch is generally seen as a film you will think is decent but flawed, or decent, flawed but with many redeeming aspects...
Well checked out this documentary and yes, it's certainly not bad or very corny, it's basically a narrative exploration of a writers speculative alien setting, with CGI that is just good enough to make it believable, though not that good that you never feel like you are watching the trailer for someone's adventure game. The creatures are truly aliens, you never have the feeling like you are just watching...
Re-watching this old classic show after many years, what are my impressions after all these years? Well Twin Peaks is still a really good show and a must watch for anyone who wants to view a show in a White rural setting, combined with a police procedural and a paranormal mystery. It deals with a lot of sexual themes, but these never become truly vulgar or grating, which puts it miles above most modern...
From the era of Euro-Westerns, this is a German production production, based on the works of Karl May, who is is still popular in Europe, but not so much in the States, IÂ remember reading one of his books and reading comic adaptions when I was younger. It's overall a fun, boyish adventure film set in the West, about two groups of gunmen looking for a hidden treasure. Since this is a May-adaption,...
