Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Wait... What?
This is an important piece of art just as it is an important film. That is a statement that could be taken either way, depending on the psychology of the viewer.
There are people who are going to love this movie... there will be many more that absolutely loathe it. For certain types of personality groups, sitting through Freddy Got Fingered my be the most horribly uncomfortable moment of their entire lives. This only makes it more hilarious for the sort of person who is a fan. Being able to laugh also at the shocked response of those who find this sort of "art" so repugnant.
It is a gross out fiesta of epic proportions, but it is deeply layered and so over the top. It is unrelenting in its throwing WTF?!? Moments at you that are just as unexpected as they are demented. Yet every set up is truly a work of art, keeping the viewer off balance yet bracing for the next shocking and painfully, side splittingly, rolling on the floor laughter hysterics.
Rip Torn shows an incredible range as a father who loves his son, but is long past his wits end. The dynamic between the whole family was incredible to watch. The sibling rivalry between the brothers was both cruel, mocking and true to life. All the more funny for that. His poor mother tries so hard to keep it all together.
This is not the sort of movie you will be able to sit on the fence. You will either love it dearly. Or hate it intensely.
This may be the most messed up film you've ever seen.
It's hard to fathom how this movie even got made.
You should probably check it out... unless you're easily offended.
This truly is one for the ages.
Sweet Daddy Siki (2017)
Important story ruined by a terrible soundtrack mix.
This is truly an amazing and important story that needs to be told. Unfortunately the message of this movie is totally overpowered by a soundtrack that is way too loud.
Siki has this beautiful soulful voice but you could barely hear a word he said due to this overwhelming background music. It's not that the music is terrible, it has just been mixed so much louder than than any of the people being interviewed that the movie becomes a frustrating waste of time. If you're interested in the story you'll be constantly rewinding to try and work out what people are saying.
It doesn't matter how good this movie might be, it has been totally ruined by the fact that the background music is well in the foreground and the subject matter has been completely buried.
Whoever was responsible for the finished product should hang their head in shame.
I truly hope that the producers of this film have apologised to Sweet Daddy Siki for ruining the story of his life.
Nature Calls (2012)
Hilariously strange movie. I loved it!
This is one of the most wonderful family movies I have seen. Pure wide eyed innocence is rarely utilised so well.
I loved the story. I loved the characters.
I struggle to understand why it was rated so poorly.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
The most satisfying climax of all time!
As my title suggests, it really was the most satisfying climax I can ever recall seeing. Just fantastic, the ending made the whole trip worthwhile in a big way for me.
Tarantino has taken a well known history, (although no one can ever prove the whole true story), and turned it on its head.
This is another Tarantino film that I will be watching over and over again.
Brad Pitt was incredible in his role, but Hell, the whole cast was fantastic. I truly dug every second of this film.
Srpski film (2010)
Oh you horrible bastards...
I'll start by saying that this is not the sort of movie you'll be watching more than once. God I hope not.
Without any exaggeration, I have to say that this film is one of the more shocking things I have ever seen. It certainly made 8mm look like the god damned Teletubbies.
Even though I had a pretty good idea of what to expect going into A Serbian Film I was not fully prepared for what happened in the last 15 minutes. It was almost kind of predictable when it went down but it was still shocking when it did finally go down.
I don't know what else to say.
Thunderpants (2002)
Q: Why did god make farts smell? A: So that deaf people can enjoy them too.
I am shocked and very disappointed that most of the the world has no sense of humour whatsoever. It's a most pitiful indictment on humanity that a fun, silly little kids movie like this could be scorned by so many and scored so lowly on IMDb. This movie doesn't really deserve a score of 10 but I feel that I need to somehow redress the balance on this film which I have enjoyed many times over.
I recall when this film was released that there were a number of good reviews published in various newspapers and it was mainly shown in the more "Arthouse/Independent" cinemas around Sydney. I never got around to seeing it until a few years later when I rented it on video. I loved it, and it was one of those films that I tried to get as many of my friends to check it out as well.
This is a film that I would suppose would be most suited to young boys who love a good fart joke, but some of us never grow out of that.
The film has an excellent cast, (you'll recognise many of the adults), and the set designs are an absolute blast.
One of my favourite kids movies.
Compliance (2012)
This happened more than once? You gotta be shitting me!
Are Americans really that incredibly stupid? I watched the whole film mouth wide open, just amazed at the stupidity of every character involved. The movie was quite well made considering the budget. It was hard to sit through however, not because it was poorly made, but because it was very hard to believe just how foolish most of these characters were. The fact that they didn't once question the identity of the officer was mind boggling. I looked up the story on Wikipedia after watching this film and was astounded by the movies accuracy.
Type the following phrase into Wikipedia;
Strip search prank call scam
Truth is indeed far stranger than fiction.
Tracker (2010)
NZ tourism commercial?
Perhaps I wasn't in the right mood but I just couldn't enjoy this film no matter how hard I tried. I felt this movie had all the artistic merit of a NZ tourism commercial. When I read about the cast and story I was ready to get down to business because if Ray Winstone is in a film I'm ready to at least give it the time of day. By about the half hour mark I was beginning to question Ray's involvement. Temuera Morrison is an actor who can display rather marvelous psychotic abilities, but his acting range is rather limited beyond that, and that was a big let down for me. I found him more and more annoying as the film progressed.
Overall I just couldn't get into The Tracker, it's greatest crime in my opinion is that it is a very ordinary film. If it was indeed cut down to a 40 second NZ tourism commercial, it may very well have been a success.
Dingo (1991)
I Cannot Believe That This Film Only Has 4 Reviews.
I have an old VHS copy of this film and I haven't had a VHS player for more than a decade. I'm not even sure if this ever came out on DVD, I've never seen it in a video shop and I have looked through many. This movie is kind of like an Outback Australian Sci-Fi Jazz Road Trip, brought to you by the man who blessed us with Bad Boy Bubby. The opening scene when Miles Davis lands his space ship (commercial airliner?!?!!), in the desert and proceeds to blow fragile rural minds to smithereens with an awesome array of Jazz Fusion is priceless. I pray to the almighty gods of Jazz that they might one day release this fine film in a format befitting cinema as far out as this.
