Body Building is an inspiring form of art, it takes a lot work and dedication to produce the ultimate body and this documentary shows it. We also get a good look at the...

It's based on Hector Malots "Sans Famille" young Remi is raised in the French countryside in the 1800s horrible events in his life lead to him being sold to a man who manages a troup of animals that preform to earn money and...
Star Wars is REALLY About THIS!
My hottttt take. Star Wars is well known for being based on the works of Joseph Campbell and his watered-down Carl Jungian approach, but the more recent viewing I did...
I'm not sure which version I saw, I'd assume the 2011 remaster. I think it's the 2019 edit that makes the worst changes the film. I don't think I've seen the original theatrical cut, but I'm gonna assume I'd rate it lower. The musical score was great in this version, and in comparison to the previous episodes. The added 2011 effects are minimal and the CGI that doesn't clash with the older, and still...

On Memorial Day weekend, 1983, The Clash held their final concert. It was a meaningful one aside from that, given that it was part of a four-day festival...
It's no "Kidnapping Caucasian Style" but it's pretty good. The plot is like "40 Year Old Virgin" but about a femcel instead. The bumbling Woody Allen type protagonist courting her is enjoyable and very appropriate for a late 70's film. I'm just sick of that shtick because of years of the awkward beta male guy taking the spotlight of Arnold Schwarzenneger Chads. This was probably groundbreaking for...
Werner Hertzog narrates film him and his team shot on Guadeloupe, while anticipating the eruption of the island's volcano. Wagner's music serves as an accompaniment and the interviews with few people who stayed behind are interesting. Short Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgAxfS8kYVU
