Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Inspiring?
Did someone lose the script to the movie? Honestly, I believe this movie could have been condensed into a 20 minute Television show, and not lose any of it's plot or character development.
I understand the charm of this movie is supposed to be that it's a weird, goofy portrait of a small town and a geeky outcast, problem is, when I watch a movie, I don't want to watch someone's life that is more mundane and boring then my own.
I grew up in a small town, and the people I knew where more interesting and off-beat then Napoleon or any of his fellow cardboard cut-outs. I admit their are a few funny parts of the movie, but I don't even remember them.
If their is anything good about this movie, I would say it's inspiring. Yeah, now I am convinced that I could make a few million in the box office, and no, it's not a bluff, a friend and I have been writing a script, whether it gets done or not, I don't actually care... I'm too bitter.
Dream Warrior (2003)
a 'B' movie that tried.
I sure am glad I work at Blockbuster, If I didn't I wouldn't ever get to see gems like "Dream Warrior".
A giant piece of bad CG animation made to look like a meteor collides with earth, causing volcanoes to erupt and lots of stock footage we have all seen on the discovery channel to appear. If that stock footage was the apocalypse, then I am really confused. Anyway, The main character, Rage (Yes, that is his name, his father is a dipshit.)was let out of his cell by an unseen figure. The viewer finds out soon enough that our hero can read minds. This is why he is being hunted. In the post-apoc-stock-footage world of "Dream Warrior" that meteor caused humans to evolve.
Anyone that has evolved is considered "impure" and is called a freak. Also, they are pale imitations of the X-men. Seeing how Rage's only power is to read minds. All the other freaks get cool powers.. Isaac Hayes' character, Zo, for instance, has telekenisis. So does an annoying kid who probably also had a stupid name. Speaking of stupid names, the healer freak is named... Sterling, and I believe her last name was... PADLOCK, making her name to be Sterling Padlock.
For a B action movie, this was actually pretty good. (I didn't even make fun of the fight scenes) The story was interesting, even though it is sort of a rip of off the x-men, minus the super heroes. It also borrows a lot from Mad Max. "Dream Warrior" has a lot of faults. But one has to look at a movie like a high school student, B movies are like the special kids, they want to be just like the cool, popular kids, ("Dodgeball" is like that class clown that hangs out with "White Chicks")and for instance and are fun to watch when they try.
...I don't think that made any sense. I give dream warrior a 2 out of 4. a B movie that tried.
