Alien culture of goa-ravers with dreadlocks and earlobe rings
1 April 2023
I assume that this movie is geared towards a young audience, as it seems to offer low-level entertainment. Keeping this in mind, I decided to download the 4k version, hoping to witness a revolutionary 3D art. However, I was sorely disappointed, as the movie failed to impress in that department. The use of the Papyrus font in this film is quite puzzling. Was this a decision made by the director, and how did the art director approve of such a terrible choice? This font is typically associated with Christian flyers and esoteric scented candles, and it feels out of place in a movie that was supposed to be the pinnacle of high-concept entertainment.

Despite the director's commitment to addressing environmental issues, portraying the native Smurfs as hunters seems inconsistent with his vegan or plant-based lifestyle. A truly balanced society that is in sync with its environment would respect all animals and refrain from hunting.

The character design in this movie is unimaginative, and it is hard to understand how anyone could have approved it. It is even more perplexing that an alien culture could resemble run-of-the-mill mid-2010s goa-ravers with dreadlocks and earlobe rings. The design is so distracting that it made it difficult to focus on the dialogue, and it was unintentionally comical. It is mind-boggling that a movie with an almost unlimited budget could attract zero talent, and it is probable that it was merely "yes men" for the director.

Overall, this movie is a great example of how money cannot buy love or artistic talent. I am sorry to say.

Better Call Saul: Breaking Bad (2022)
Season 6, Episode 11
8/10
Damn
6 August 2022
The way this episode makes me feel a deep sadness inside my gut is phenomenal. It's like we finally understand what Chuck was talking about all along. It's Slippin' Jimmy all along. "Oh, he'll never change!", Chuck was right. We see a man finally loosing to his psychological problems he never really addressed.

Just like Walter White he can't let go of his massive ego.

The writers really are threading a hairline here of providing something truly deep and meaningful while still being entertaining.

I am glad they didn't sell out and keep the focus on the art rather then pure entertainment.

Just a heads up. The food prepared is with explicit real animal corpse. Really disgusting and disappointing.

Greenscreen schlackfest meets a very important message
25 May 2021
Peter Joseph should have worked with actual talent. This will just end up as a complete side note to the Zeitgeist Movies.

Interreflections comes across as a the most expensive pre-production concept visualizer ever made.

Peter needs to direct and let other talented people do the rest of the work.

Is that Errol Morris had intended to use more then just her interview. It was a limitation due to Covid-19. He could have shelved the whole project or did this. Source: The Hamilton Morris Podcast on Pateron

Lauren Lapkus

Lauren Lapkus is not funny. She is not a funny actor. Yet she is in like 60% of this movie. It could have been good. The whole "band off oddballs" concept was horrible. To bad they had to f it up.

Airplane! (1980)

What the hell ?
14 August 2020
I went into this movie without any knowledge other then it's a comedy and plays in an airplane. I had to quit it at the 40 minute mark. The most cringe worthy "humor". The most obvious one dimensional jokes. One after another. I guess it's funny because it's on film and not in a hokey joke book? The thing is I have nothing against rather flat these practical jokes. But execution is everything! And it falls flat every time. The timing is just off. Performances unconvincing and not there.

Here is my theory: Many people laugh because they decide to laugh. Like doing exercise. They laugh like they would speak. It comes forced. Not natural. This might be who this movie is for. Comedy for squares.

If you want intelligent humor watch Buffet Froid. This just speaks to the unwashed masses so bad. Really sad.

I gave it 2 stars because I'm a sucker for 4k remastered analogue film and the 5.1 mix is pretty good.

Well...

Warning: Spoilers
It is what it is. Could they have done better? Yes. The f-ed up with the 8th episode by choosing a trash director. I don't get why people say the narrative is absurd. It's a basic race to the epic catharsis. The end was fine. It made sense. It was the predictable end to a predictable story. It's a lot of eye candy with childish goofy stuff to sell toys to the mind controlled consumer populous. In space. That's what Star Wars always was.

If I would direct a new trilogy I would make it much more cerebral. New perspectives never before imagined with this universe. The best part was Palpatines planet and his legion of siths. The monotone brutalist looking rows of empiric ships in rows was a beautiful picture. I would have loved to see more of Emperor Palpatines immense dark power sooner and more immense. Something like he moving the whole planet and setting half the galaxy on fire just with his power. I think it made sense that ray broke the spell in the end by not repeating the dualist cycle.

The whole space horse people part was totally redundant tho.

Star Wars was always High Concept Trash people.

Xena Warrior Princess
2 December 2019
Wow... total fail. First three episodes weren't great but this is just downright boring even for its class. What a trash pile. Who ever wrote this turd got lucky he got the job. The most disgusting thing is this warrior princess with her ugly ass paint-on tattoos. The little rebel emblem on her face... like something a first semester film student would think of. Did they got a huge budget cut ??? Who is the makeup artist? Looks horrible! She overacts. What a disappointment. I didn't watch the whole episode. F-This. I will give the next episode a chance if she dies off. Otherwise I wish this pile of trash to crash and burn for wasting my time.

Yes!
11 October 2019
Nothing in this movie is groundbreaking information. Its the latest in nutrition science in an amazing easily to understand format. I hope this gets the plant based vegan paradise a step closer to reality. Needless to say this movie is produced fantastically. It is the first movie of it's kind I've ever seen that looks this good. Beautiful cinematography and vibrant colors. Saw it in Germany on a big screen at the premiere date. Loved every minute of it. Don't underestimate the powerful meat industry business interest that try to confuse you. Read the science... the truly unbiased since about how a plant based diet can save you and the planet. Consuming animals is cancer. (literally)

"Neil Hamburger"
31 July 2019
I enjoyed this movie a lot. Yes it is quite slow and not meant to "entertain". It's not that kind of movie. It is an honest look into the soul of comedian Gregg Turkington and it gave (at least to me) some deeper appreciation about what his Neil Hamburger character is about. I suspect you might need to have some knowledge of Greggs art before going into this movie. A fan movie for sure but a really good one. I loved it.

It wants to be Hollywood but it FAILS!
21 March 2011
I can't believe I wasted 7 Euro on this BS. The Actors TERRIBLE. The story TERRIBLE. CGI TERRIBLE. Soundtrack placement TERRIBLE/INFANTILE.

It's one of those cliché Hollywood "Si-Fi" copy cat movies from Germany. Some parts are funny because of the overtly dumb cheese they want to sell you here. But for the most part it was only watchable by tapping the fast forward button on my bluray player.

Stay away from this crap!

If you like this movie you are part of what's wrong with cinema and a better movie culture in general.

I WANT TO DIE DIE DIEEEEE
