Breaking the Spell (1999)
An interesting look into a time with one terrible flaw.
This is the kind of documentary only a few types of folks will ever see.
If you have ever seen Pickaxe you know just about what to expect. If you haven't , meh maybe go watch that first at least the opening song is an earworm.
The film is notorious for having noted snitch Lacey Phillabaum who sold out a big chunk of the movement as one of the Operation Backfire case snitch's.
Say howdy if you see her , she has tried to become "active" again in the movement in Arizona.
It is pretty much what you would expect from that generation of eco-warriors , the film frequently seems pretentious and more about the individuals that any real movement.
If you watched the news when the last round of riots graced our nation you have little to see here.
If like me you consume documentaries like oxygen you might as well check it off your list if nothing else as it is a nice seasoning if you already have seen a few on this event already.
The Anarchists (2022)
Rich white capitalists decry the capitalists system AFTER becoming rich from it
This bored me to death. It is a bunch of people who had plenty of money. They all got wealthy from the American capitalist society. But once they got rich they decided then it was time to move to Mexico and say capitalism was bad. They spend most of the time wondering why "everyone doesn't do this" , maybe because everyone doesn't have a few million to uproot their entire family even if they sold everything. I hate these people and frankly se no reason behind yet one more documentary that only exists to give press to empty vapid idiots. I much prefer my anarchists tossing a few cocktails around on a nice warm evening in Greece perhaps. Not a bunch of greedy rich capitalists trying to pretend they are anarchists in order to get even richer. All for anarchy but this group is a grifting farm nothing else. This just bored me to death , pure and simple. And it is 100% because of the reality show level narcissists who are the stars of it.
The Most Dangerous Concert Ever: The Morricone Duel (2018)
Fantastic symphony concert of Morricone and others
This is a live concert by the Danish National Symphony. Quite a few of the numbers are Morricone from films such as Once Upon A Time In America and the Clint Eastwood westerns. Included as well are some numbers from Zimmer as well as others. If you enjoy this style of music (unlike the other reviewer who seemed to think he was going to watch a JCVD film) or have any real taste in music this is a nice way to spend just a tad over 1 hour. Ignore the other review , if you get the chance this is worth it either to watch such incredibly talented musicians perform or as background on laundry day. You wont be disappointed. Well , unless you expect explosions , plane crashes , bales of cocaine and supermodels : )
The Fall of a Nation (1916)
31 have rated this...how , seriously how
No copies exist. It is a lost film. Why would the site even make it possible to "rate" a movie NO ONE has seen? Destroys the credibility of literally anything in my opinion.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
Remember when we all thought "oh no , Disney is going to drop a deuce on these movies"
We were more right than we thought. That Deadpool for the kid's cleaned up version , the horrific selection of Star Wars garbage and now this...this...this massive elephant sized piece of excrement. They must have know it was going to be so terrible as I didn't even know it was coming out until it was here. And my life would have been better had I never known it had arrived. Remember anything you ever enjoyed about any X-Men movie? Yeah , none of that is here. Remember everything you hated? They went all in with the chips on those parts. The Dark Phoenix saga is a classic of the comic series. And a classic flop as a film. Put simply here is my review. The good : Nothing. The Bad : Literally everything. I gave them one star for simply having the decency to not release this pathetic film until after Stan Lee passed. Disney has been destroying everything it touches since it got a hold of the classic Grimm Fairy Tales so very long ago and sanitized them beyond any recognition. So I guess they are sticking with their playbook here.
Fantastic Four (2015)
Umm....WTF?
Thought exercise. If Black Lightning became white. If Storm from the X-Men turned into a white punk chick with a mohawk. If Black Panther was played by George Clooney. If Pee Wee Herman played Shaft , people would lose their mind and scream racism and blackball whoever wrote and made it from Hollywood. So , ah , The Human Torch has been two entities over the last oh ,80 YEARS. An android that would eventually become Vision. And Sue Storm's brother. Bring in a 3rd Human Torch , say Johnny died and they found a person with nearly the same powers and I'm fine with it. The FF has had a rotation of members at times it wouldn't have been that odd. This was just pure pandering and it showed as it produced a piece of garbage.
Superstition (2017)
The end result of sleeping through a Grimm / Supernatural marathon on CW
I had low hopes. The first few episodes were not terrible though and I started going out of my way to watch it. The show has dropped in writing and , clearly , budget however and descended into what I could only describe as the end result of an eighth of good weed , a few episodes of Supernatural & a few episodes of Grimm and a writer who seem's to have never had an original idea in their life. For a show that started off with so well to descend into that low budget disaster the likes of the 12th episode with effects a 8 year old could achieve with 50$ and a ride to good will is a shame. It feels like around episode 4 the money and studio support just vanished. The acting is fine , I don't want to cast any shade on them , they are doing the best they can with what they are given. No , the problems with this show are all in the writers room and the budget office of the studio. If you haven't watched don't bother. With so much to view these days your precious free time is better spent on most anything else. This show will not even be remembered within 3 years by most.
