The Return of Captain Invincible (1983)
Funny, can make one loose track of what they are doing, even pain!
This is my kind of movie, I had never heard of it before, and only found it due to a purchase I made from Amazon, noticed this title as well. I am in chronic pain, and take advantage of any distraction from reality to take my mind off it. This movie did just that! On par with Attach of the killer tomato's, killer clowns form outer space, rocky horror picture show. Just as corny as any of them, This is well worth enjoying, laughing over, and forgetting your everyday worries and care for awhile. God Bless Mr Arkin to not have any pride when he made this film (I don't see how he could have, such a big gamble) But then again I had not heard of it until a couple weeks ago. Mr Allen Arken does provide his high quality of humor to this film. As usual his humor has again occurred before its time.
Category 7: The End of the World (2005)
WOW what a star packed event!
This movie has it all! Drama, Excitement, Romance, Suspense, Heartache, Patriotism, & not to forget Bra Straps! I hate to be negative, especially about any film involving the actors of the high quality that were involved in this production. However they have all fallen in the amount of respect I have at the moment.
I realize that money is always an issue, and is needed. For some of these folks, I have no doubt hunger (for work!) does guide one to wards decisions that we may later regret.
While I would very much prefer to watch this movie again, as opposed to having the stomach flu, it is a close call. The Patriotism that was intended to be instilled failed miserably due to my own personal recent involvement with FEMA, what a !&*? Joke! I remember when the original Poseidon Adventure came out, what was that 30 years ago? Then all those disaster movies that followed? This could fit in there, barely, but it could.
Again I am not one to be negative, but safe yourself the trouble, don't waste your time on this movie. It is not the fault of any of the people lending their talents, the writers, or the production staff, they should ll be ashamed of themselves though, and NEVER work for the people responsible for tarnishing their reputation's.But the fault lays fully of the shoulders of whomever was responsible for the funding. Just a money laundering operation........
Maybe some food poisoning would make me feel better
Adam Resurrected (2008)
A great escape from current reality
While the purpose of the comments here (to my understanding) are to help folks decide if they wish to see a film, I for one do not understand why it seems so important for some reviews to be so specifically critical. In fact "Author: uncertain from Poland" said it best "turn it off" but left out the most important part. That is His (or) Her opinion. So some did not like the film, then "turn it off" or don't watch it. But to react in such a ugly manor at makes it appear you have the only correct opinion as to the rest of humanity that might wish to see it? I just do not understand.
While I may be just a "goy" and due to my upbringing, understand very little about the horrors and joys Jewish history. I for one found this film an excellent escape from my current reality. Showing yet another piece of "what could be", exposing more history that is too often swept under the rug. Isn't that what films are suppose to do? Provide some escape and provoke thought?
"Never Again" rings so true, and those that some how managed to survive and continue I would imagine would all applaud the combined efforts of all the actors, directors, and staff for producing such a great film.
If you do not like what you are seeing, stop looking, change the channel, if one has to be so negative (to sleep at night) I feel sorry for them. But attempt to control what I can view and think? Well, that is a battle left alone, as I tire of stooping to their level to acknowledge them. While everyone does have a right to their point of view, too many seem to think the world revolves around them, and not around us.
I have been a fan of Mr Goldblum for many years, and this is (in my humble opinion) his best performance yet! I will be so very disappointed if he is not awarded an Academy Award for his performance in this movie. Dark as it may have been. Well worth seeing.
