In the Line of Duty IV (1989) drunk review
Post fucking-review rating: 3.5 / 5 Semi-Tangent Intro "Well wait a minute, what about 1, 2, and 3? Aren't you going to review those?" Not right now I'm not. "Well shouldn't you watch those first?" Maybe, but I'm not going to. I've heard from others that the first three aren't as good as this one. … Continue reading In the Line of Duty IV (1989) drunk review
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) review
Rated: 4 / 5 "It knows only that it needs, Commander. But, like so many of us... it does not know what." [...] "Each of us... at some time in our lives, turns to someone - a father, a brother, a God... and asks..."Why am I here? What was I meant to be?"" So the … Continue reading Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) review
The Youth of the Nation: Finding Forrester (2000)
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Do you know what people are most afraid of?" "What?" "What they don't understand. And when we don't understand, we turn to our assumptions." Only real issues I had with this movie was a bit of preachiness on the part of Busta Rhymes near the end, saying something like, "They let … Continue reading The Youth of the Nation: Finding Forrester (2000)
It’s Not Just A Movie: The Importance of Films
It’s true that there are many, many movies that are “just movies,” entertaining enough but with little weight behind them. And there are many movies that are nothing more than complete wastes of time and space. But the ones that really grip people’s imaginations, the ones that inspire passionate discussions and debates, the ones that … Continue reading It’s Not Just A Movie: The Importance of Films
Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005) epic review
Yep it's here. Let's do this. So revisiting this trilogy after a few years, I have to admit, it's a bit better than I remember. Probably because I was too young to give a shit about the political elements. And make no mistake, this trilogy is heavy handed with the political messaging. Yet it succeeds … Continue reading Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy (1999-2005) epic review
Cinema Paradiso (1988) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Life isn't like in movies. It's much harder." It's films like these that make me glad to be an avid film-watcher. Films that show how powerful film can be, the emotions they carry, the memories they hold, and how they cause one to reflect upon life. That doesn't mean I … Continue reading Cinema Paradiso (1988) review
Fahrenheit 451 (2018) review and comparison to the novel
Rated: 2 / 5 So they did it, they made a modern adaptation of the novel (itself I have reviewed). How is it compared to the novel? As in most novel-to-film adaptations, not as good. And it suffers from some of the problems that I feared it would. Yet does have some balls with some … Continue reading Fahrenheit 451 (2018) review and comparison to the novel
The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDKwCvD56kw Introduction Over the past couple weeks, my drive has slowed to a crawl. I have no one but myself to blame, for the most part. I have a bad habit of taking on too many projects at once, from television series (attempting to make a review for Naoki Urasawa's Monster, Babylon 5, Vietnam - … Continue reading The Youth of the Nation: Suicide Club
Roar (1981) review
Rated: Either 2/5 or 5/5, depending on how you look at it. Saying that this film was released in 1981 is a bit deceiving, considering it took nearly a decade to actually finish shooting it, on a 12 million dollar budget. That aside, this movies is pure insanity. You know those horror stories about what … Continue reading Roar (1981) review
