Morbidly compelling look at the death throes of the Third Reich and Hitler. The lunacy, dementia and slavish devotion by the surrounding characters leave the viewer both amazed and incredulous.

This film offers almost nothing of interest. If you’re into bland bonhomie, c’est le film pour vous!

The Counterfeiters

A compelling story of the plight of a Jewish forger in the death-camps facing Hobson’s choice, and his unwillingness to come to terms with his undeniable and inconvenient humanity.

Doug Stanhope: No Refunds
January 4th, 2010 · No Comments
Watched half of this and was very pleasantly surprised. Here is a guy who is not afraid to allude to his career as a misadventurous path toward enlightenment and self-destruction, all the while cheekily pointing out all that’s wrong with modern American society. You may find his material obvious or bluntly delivered, but I find […]

Black Ops

Rote blarney about a “Nazi super-guy” who is infused into a ship somehow. This couldn’t have more macho- and testosterone-laden stereotypes if it had been penned by SpikeTV or the Pentagon. Truly awful.

Everyone loved this movie. I did not. I thought it was dark, dull and pointless. It just didn’t interest me at all. Hungarian cinema can shag off if this is what they have to offer. Disappointing

Meeting Resistance
June 14th, 2009 · No Comments
Looks at life on the “terrorist” side of the “official” debate. For the most part these are ordinary people who say they are resisting the occupation of their homeland. Agree or not, it’s worth a watch.

This cat is interesting and has some intriguing things to say. He’s actually a pretty energetic speaker, which is good because his presentation is about 6 hrs. I don’t expect anyone will watch this.

2012: Doomsday
April 27th, 2009 · No Comments
Juxtaposing the Book of Revelations with Mayan prophecy and a bit of sci-fi scare thrown in, this jumbled mess seeks to evoke some apocalyptic spirituality, but the only real tragedy is this film.

Amusing look at the US govt propaganda and lies in the name of eradicating the “most dangerous drug in America.” These dishonest shills are ridiculous and illogical, but funny nonetheless.

Eureka

Initially promising creative intrigue, this quickly lost that promise to become more of the light-hearted unexceptionality that is far too common on the Sci-fi channel, see e.g. Stargate.

Southland Tales

This movie is so skewed, hokey, and preposterous, yet strangely amusing. Perhaps it’s the legions of B-list actors they got to play the increasingly ridiculous roles. Not a loss if you miss it.

Rocco in a legit movie. Can’t believe it. This film is explicit, clinical and morbid. Not fo the faint of heart. In fact many of you would hate this. Not recommended for those more delicate friends.

This [movie] is complete tripe. Forget about this nonsense and drink some hot-dog water instead. You’ll certainly feel better than if you watched this hokum.

This is yet another remake of the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and it is suitably trite and hackneyed. A not unpleasant waste of time.

Excellent expose of how Cheney and his cadre of servile believers engineered the invasion of Iraq and reshaped our government to implement their ideology.

Interesting French, sorry, Freedom film shot in Paris about a little man’s struggle to crawl out from under his rock and change his life. He’s helped along by a statuesque blond who is what she seems.

These were mountains I would climb,
trees my canopy, friends with heartbeats,
coated in feathers and hair. These, you
destroyed, with a glint of your fangs, and
a snap of your whip, painfreeze memorize
hate turns to enslavement worse than
death.

This movie was pathetically weak. Complete waste of time. Best part, Roy Scheider getting blown away. I think Jaws shot him. Don’t waste your time with this offal.

This is a fascinating film. A few ideologues who never served in the military undermined and then discarded years of post Saddam planning by army planners. The incompetence is staggering.

A complete waste of time. Meandering senselessness. I cannot overstate my disdain for this self-indulgent tripe. This reached cult status? Perhaps amongst a cult of scatologists! Such dung. . .

Anyone who believes that the financial industry isn’t raping and herding the the American people into an indentured servitude, perhaps indebted servitude, should watch this. It’s appalling.

Nice homage to the zombie style B movies of the 70s.Obviously over the top and preposterous, but a good cast keeps it together. Patently absurd. That’s why its good. Jeff Fahey and Machete!!

This a a refreshing return to movie making with exceptional acting, intrigue and a tortuous storyline. Mainly because it is not of today’s Hollywood, but rather of yesterday’s Hollywood.

This movie should have been called The City of Violins, at least that would explain why it’s such a snoozefest. Poor action, poor acting, poor story, poor slob me that watched it. Enough said.

Interesting film on the US voting process, the blatant flouting of voting laws on the books, the insidious deceit and lies of the private voter machine corps and our complete helplessness to stop it.

Chaotic mishmash of the vicissitudinous existence of the Anton, spastic creative genius of the Brian Jonestown Massacre. A surprising look at a man with a philosophy of self sabotaging solipsism.
