A science fiction action film directed by Michael Miller, starring Chuck Norris.A cop fights a crazy man who has been brought back to life my a team of scientists.This was uber-cheesy. The characters, plot and style were lame. I'm rating it poor for being bullshit.
A drama directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Faye Dunaway.A news anchor goes crazy and starts telling the truth on TV. Meanwhile, his best friend is having an affair with a woman who works at the same television station."I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!". This film is a good example of the new world order and how it functions is explained when Howard gets in trouble with a big boss and has the way things work explained to him. To boil it down to a sentence, the world is a business and the goal is to make money. I feel that this is fairly accurate. My question is whay was this film allowed to broadcast the real way that things work? The only conceivable answer is that "It's just a movie." and most people won't see the reality that lies within. I'm rating this awesome because of the ideas involved.
A mockumentary directed by Arthur Hiller, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone and Coolio.A director gets his first directing job and the film is mishandled without his consent. It turns out bad, so he steals it to keep his name from being associated with it.Wikipedia bills this as the worst film ever, but it's actually ABOUT the worst film ever. When the characters are introduced, the screen pauses and character profile lists come up, detailing the person. Some of the attributes are funny. I also thought the 3 celebrities chosen for the film within the film make a funny team. I'm rating this o.k.
A biography directed by Julian Schnabel, starring David Bowie, Courtney Love, Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe.The life and career of artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat is shown.I don't know where to begin. I wish that I could make this review as cool as the film, but it is impossible to capture such things in words. Jean-Michel Basquiat is a beautifully ugly character, just like his art. It's going to be hard to watch anything else after this masterpiece. Obviously, I'm rating it best.
A mockumentary directed by Michael Dowse.A pair of friends move north in Canada in search of jobs laying oil piping. They meet their friend there and gets jobs and one of them falls in love with the local slut, who everyone has had one night stands with.This was very much like the first FUBAR film. There were funny parts and some sentimentality. The happy ending of this one was a lot more conclusive than the first film. I'm rating it good.
An action film directed by Richard Donner, starring Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas.After killing a co-worker 15 years ago, an assassin finds that he has competition when he gets sent on jobs. The 2 competing assassins get sent on the same mission to get a disk and the one who killed the co-worker ends up befriending the woman with the disk.I usually like Stallone films, but this was too "new action flick" for me. I think what puts me off is the overly excessive use of guns and the lack of style in the film as a whole. The plot was alright (I guess), but the pacing was just too quick. I'm rating this poor for being a new action flick.
A thriller directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon.The astronauts aboard a space mission to the moon have problems when they are almost there and have to come back.Many people have accused NASA of faking moon landing footage (theory), citing a plethora of reasons why the proof given would be biased. All of those involved in the landings in question are or were involved in high level secret societies (fact) and have every reason in the world to trick the general public in any way they can (fact). I've even heard something about mankind not even being able to leave the earth because of the conditions in space (theory) or some type of mystic barrier that keeps us earthbound (theory). Another fact is that Wikipedia continuously cites a television show (MythBusters) as absolute proof that the landings were real and we all know that TV lies to brainwash us (fact). Considering the facts, it would not surprise me if the theories were true.Oh yeah, the movie! The style was good and the plot kept me interested. I'm rating it adequate.
