This mini-series is often credited as one of the best ever made and that's for a good reason. A grand pastiche build around a writing of detective novels who ends up in the hospital suffering from a skin-disease and hallucinations, what follows is a story that moves around from a hospital comedy, to a satirical crime story, to snippets of the writers painful childhood, back to lipsynced musical numbers...
I had never seen this film before, though I knew the basic plot and outline, so the twist at the ending wasn't very surprising. I am sure many people will pick up on Chuck fumbling with taking of his gun in an earlier scene and will start looking for discrepancies. My overall opinion of this film was that it's more an exploration of insanity and certainly not a genuine detective film. This is actually...
I found the show incredibly enjoyable and funny and interesting. Each episode of the series has a lot of intrigue and even in the first episode it is over the top and funny. It doesn't push a lot of annoying politics down your throat trying to make you feel one way or another about things. It does include a homosexual marriage which sucks and it also includes a little but of girl boss and man emasculation....
I wasn't expecting something so high quality even though it is from Angel Studios. The movie's plot and action and drama is not only good but so is the production quality. Although one disclaimer is that even though they don't do anything sexually graphic in the movie most people can understand what stomach turning deeds are being done. The fact I wanted to get out of the movie theater and I felt uncomfortable...
One of the music genre's I have always had a soft spot for is Italodisco, it's in my opinion one of the most solid genre's of pop music, so when I watched this film I had my hopes up, but it's very much a stinker.
Primarily because of the main actor, a negro, now when I first started watching this film I though, well that black guy is clearly really gay and he gets his ass whooped, but then he dates...
Now I don't have a thing for Bollywood and normally wouldn't bother watching Indian film or tv-shows, the culture overall is just to strange and alien, but when I found this series on the Internet Archive I was almost immediately hooked. This production of Ramayana is really like nothing that can be found in the West, we have feudal drama's, heroic epics and some Christian and Arthouse films go an...
I clicked on the title of this film because it had an a alluring title and a naked woman on the cover, now I should try and limit my exposure to erotic films, because that never does me any good, but I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Strangely enough the first 2/3th of this film is actually a decent slice of life for how Alpine shepherds in the 18th or 19th century would have lived, they migrate...
McCabe & Mrs. Millers apparently gets titled an anti-western, because it seeks out to subvert western cliches, but if you approach the entire film as a historical film about a gambler and louche businessman teaming up with a whore-madam, non of that really matters. The film itself has both it's beautiful moments, the wilderness, but plenty of vice and explores the American frontier life, the dirtiness...
Sluipschutters (Snipers) is a sketch comedy-show produced at the same time and very similar to the show I previously reviewed called "komt een man bij de dokter", they even share actors. But in my humble opinion the show is inferior to the one I previously reviewed. Why? for several small reason and one big reason. The jokes don't work half of the time, because they are not jokes. A good joke need...
Found this short on Zeitgeist itself and I must be very honest, it's both politically incorrect but lovable in of itself. Basically it depicts a world where everyone has down syndrome and only few humans are normal. So we see a world where nobody can tie their shoes and everyone constantly hugs each other. Yes, it's funny but also adorable. Kinda wonder what the woke crowd though about this film,...
Happened to watch this Dutch comedy show on YouTube this evening "A man goes to the doctor" is a Dutch sketch-show in the tradition of your old grandpa's funny magazine, it's basically a long series of jokes on marriage, drinking in the pub, being a dick to your fat girlfriend, cheating and yes, a visit to your local doctor. And dammit, these jokes are total boomer tier, every episodes I recognize...
Well, decided to watch this film, because a film about Willem Dafoe trapped in an art collectors high security smart home can't possibly have many minorities and I was intrigued by the idea itself. Overall this film is decent, but not really enjoyable, Dafoe does a decent job of it, but nothing more. The film lacks tragedy or real sense of humor. Neither is their a good structure in the film itself,...
The Truman Show is primarily watched and respected for being a film that has a visionary approach to the idea of reality TV, though the hit show Big Brother was actually planned at the same time this film was made, making it less visionary and more of an exaggeration of trend that would develop in the 21th century. Basically this film has laid the foundation of what could potentially be possible for...
I saw WyJim review this and I vaguely remembered this film coming out, but now that we watched it with the family I must say the film has a lot going for it. It has an all White cast, no power-women, religious overtones and a story of redemption and no nudity in it. So if you are looking for recent action-schlock without a real woke agenda, yes this is the film. Downside is that the film is overall...
"Destroy All Monsters" (1968). Greatest title of a movie, ever...?
The plot: aliens take over the minds of the creatures on Monster Island (Mothra, Rodan, Godzilla, etc) and order them to...
Now that is am mostly over watching this show the first couple of days, I must say this was absolutely hilarious. Sam has basically created a reality tv show in the style of Big Brother, but everyone is basically some form of raging autist, except Vance who is a straight guy and Mauro who is just fat. Some of the weirdo's on this show: Simmons: Basically an effeminate Asian man, with long hair and...
"Chinese Bubbles"
Kind of like a 1950's pop song sung by Frank Sinatra;
"Tiny bubbles in the sea"
or "Pennies from Heaven"
or "American Rose"
For those interested and who happen to live in the North Twin Cities metro, the Capitalism vs. Socialism speech will actually be broadcasted in its final edited form on public access cable.
Yes, yes,...
So I've been watching the Penguins of Madagascar on cable recently on my vacation and I have to admit they are freaking awesome.
"Kowolski, status report!"
"What's the trouble private?"
You have...
This one is for a poor kid I just met, Ferdinand.
I entered college at the age of 18 weighing 147 pounds.
By the time I was 19 years of age I had dropped down to 118.
And the reason for this...
