Quintet (1979)
A masterpiece
This movie was way ahead of its time. It's the perfect metaphor for the darkest parts of our society. The set is amazing, the acting is perfect - the 'judge' is so creepy and realistic - Newman does one of his best performances ever. This is the kind of sci mystery thriller I wish they would do more of - but its the complete opposite of what Hollywood has trained people to enjoy.
Soros (2019)
Trying to make evil more palatable
Who here thinks Soros paid for this movie himself? A one sided puff piece, to try to make evil look good.
5D (2020)
Excellent sci fi
On point and deeply felt. It had lots of good surprises and I really enjoyed it! I loved the ending. A fabulous, fun, informative and futuristic film! Not a typical sci fi, which is one thing I liked about it. It takes chances, and succeeds. Great acting!
Tenet (2020)
So bad it hurts
I felt like this movie was giving me the finger the entire time - saying ha ha you'll watch anything won't you! None of the dialog makes any sense, the acting from the leads is terrible, the music is awful and the sound of gunfire pierces your ears and you often can't make out what anybody is saying half the time. The characters are all awful people. What made anybody think anyone would want to watch this? The strangest thing is some people are saying this is a masterpiece of cinema, which I don't understand.
Oracle (2017)
A fascinating film
What an interesting and beautiful film! It requires multiple viewings to absorb all the information this movie throws at you. I've already watched it twice, and it was even better the 2nd time, as I was able to focus more on the documentary parts. The information in the documentary sections really makes you wonder what exactly reality is. Some of the very unusual information in this film is going to push people's buttons who are closed off and not open to possibilities. This is not an action film. It is old school sci fi for people who want to be challenged and forced to think. As someone who is open to possibilities, I cannot recommend this film more highly. Plus, its very well done - both cinematography and acting.
The Islands and the Whales (2016)
Avoid this bloody mess
This movie appears to be nothing more than an expensive press release for the 'grind', which is a bloody massacre of thousands of sentient whales - many of which never get eaten anyway. None of us made it through the screening, which was so tasteless in its showing of blood and gore. It is a disturbing movie to say the least, and it constantly contradicts its logic without having the slightest idea it is doing so. It is all emotionally based, and the entire film seems to be some act of revenge against the Sea Shepherd. It tries to make out the Sea Shepherd as the villains and the Faroe people as saints who are being put upon by these clueless invaders who want to stop their 'culture'. They try to make some environmental points, but these points have been made elsewhere and better. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the cinematography is decent.
Guns, Girls and Gambling (2012)
Director is another Ed Wood - completely talentless
After the utter failure of Shadow Puppets, I would have thought this director would have been laughed out of Hollywood. However, someone decided he needed a second chance and gave this hack millions? to make another flop. I finally saw this film, just curious to see how bad a film could be. I tried to be open minded, but I spent the entire movie laughing at how bad this movie is. From the clichéd freeze frames showing different characters to the abysmally bad writing to the completely clueless directing, Winnick doesn't disappoint in showing just why Hollywood sucks so bad. This movie goes from violent to racist with a flip of the wrist, and then throws out some bad action film clichés that I guess are supposed to be funny. The actual camera-work is OK, so I guess the DPs were alright. Otherwise, even the camera angles are clichés. If you like horrible films that make you laugh because they are so utterly bad, then give this a try.
