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...
Just lazy copy cat bs. Could have been better done by a first grader
L.A. Confidential is a critics and audience favourite. so this film review will mostly deal with the character and an analysis of the wokeness of this film. This review will have some spoilers. Anyone who has every watched this great crime film, has to wonder what exactly the aim was of this film, even though we get a gritty crime film full of corrupt cops and the occasional hints at "racism bad",...
Good for a casual viewing, starts off and defaults to slow pace for most of the film. Vincent Price carries the whole thing on his back, and somehow makes the gags that aren't that funny work. Boris Karloff is basically furniture, but has a few good bits. The cat in the film is famous I guess, its in a strange amount of films for a cat that lived 17 years
A unique trope that has its high points and funny bits, but no project stays fresh for 9 seasons spanning 12 years. watch a few clips posted to YouTube and you'll get the best parts. A show about 2 dropouts of life that spin their wheels perpetually is naturally a recipe for a bland casserole when baked too long
Boat sailing, Plane Crashing, Tank Driving, Sword Wielding, Gun Shooting and Fist Throwing, Treasure finding.. This film has all this and more. An Italian film about two American men who set aside their differences to look for a buried treasure in the pacific. Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill are "top of the pops" (as the brits say) when it comes to buddy action comedies. A pairing like this is classic,...
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
Matt Berry & Rich Fulcher team up to produce a disjointed hybrid sketch comedy and lose narrative show with musical interludes following two bumbling hangmen.
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
Always will be the best Bond film to me, can't deny that I'm Biased due to playing the N64 Goldeneye game before even seeing the movie as a kid. When put retrospectively in the tapestry of Bond films after the Craig series that went from taking itself to0 seriously to aping John Wick by the end, this one strikes the best harmony of fun and a personal drive for James to pursue. Internet Movie Firearm...
Slow to start off, but when they start, they don't stop blastin till the end. I love it when a film can suspend disbelief enough for these force for force escalation type films that use a domestic setting and characters compelled to violence due to circumstance.

"The devil has sent me twins of evil!" "God is calling on us who believe in His holy word to stamp out that evil, to seek out the devil worshippers, and to purify their spirits so that they may find mercy at the seat of the Lord... by burning them!"
John Boorman has a body of works that all have a great sort of vitality imbued in them even when they are scaled to different levels of scope. Deliverance (1972) , Excalibur (1981), and Hope and Glory (1987) are probably his biggest hits, but his more obscure films like this and Hell in The Pacific (1968) are really captivating pieces.
this was an ok weird film....it was more gross out horror than the other which was suspense and drama........is the film link broken again because id love to add the Vincent price one. or do i have to be a site member.....everything's been lovely and anonymous so far
WATCHED THIS YEARS AGO ON SATALITE TV FAIRLY GOOD HORROR FLICK WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND HUMANS ARE THE REAL MONSTERS. I MYSELF AM ALL FOR RELIGION BUT THE FILM IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT DEGENERATE THINGS HUMANS CAN DO TO ONE ANOTER FOR PERSONAL GAIN. ALL IN THE NAME OF GOD. PRETY SOLID FILM
This film has aesthetics and tone that reminds me of playing Red Dead on PS2, or doing a coop mission in Red Dead Redemption online. The variety and application of different guns and weapons is pretty cool. I can't say its that unique, but its one of my favorite westerns. https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Professionals,_The_(1966)
I looked up the director/writer and he was a gay kid who went to religious schools. That makes the message more palatable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved! Back in the 2000's there were a string of indie movies that championed the spiteful mutants. Their message is cliché and rings hollow now. But if you can remember what it was like back then and how the cultural hegemon hadn't shifted completely...
