Wiener-Dog (2016)
WARNING!!!! Dog lovers might want to give this a pass.
I gave it some points for cinematography and the level of acting found in this film but this story is not a happy one. THE TRAILERS ARE EXTREMELY MISLEADING! This movie is about the breaking of ones will. It is about regret loneliness and the emptiness that has become American Culture. This movie is
heavy...

do not go into this movie lightly. Personally I think the choice to use a wiener dog was a poor one. Three live with us and it was obviously picked for its comedic appearance and not the breads temperament.
THIS MOVIE IS DARK HUMOR AT BEST. The truly humorous scenes are quiet dark, coming from a place of suffering not joy.
While I understand the intended impact of the film I think the films marketing team was wrong to pitch it as funny and light hearted. It is the opposite of that.
THIS IS NOT A FUNNY HAPPY MOVIE FEATURING A WIENER DOG.
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)
Predictable
The "twist" is very predictable. The ending will leave you feeling robbed. None of the characters are likable but you do not really hate them either. Pretty much do not care about any of them. Mandy Lane is hot for sure but I think "like" is a mis-characterization of how all the boys feel about her.
This is another one of those contemporary slasher flicks that ends on a very dark note. If you are looking for vindication or a sense of justice where monsters are defeated by the virtuousness watch Friday 13th or Halloween.
I believe that slasher films are analogous to a persons inner struggle to defeat the demons with in themselves. The residual rage that some of us care from our childhood. In most movies from this genre the protagonist defeats this darkness and finds freedom.
In this film the darkness wins and the observer is left trapped in his own self destructive motivations.
These are not spoilers but warnings to those like myself that enjoy a good slasher film because it renews are faith in the power of will!
Be warned!
America: Imagine the World Without Her (2014)
We are all America!
Dinesh D'Souza is the conservative Michael Moore.
FYI - Dinesh D'Souza is a felon for violating campaign finance law.
This is an opinion piece not a documentary. America is not a place it is a people and an ideology. America is not evil. It is the just a haven for the most evil examples of human beings and it worships money and possessions.
I do like the part where he equates slavery to present corporate America. Workers today keep very little to none of the wealth created by the corporation. I think his ideas are almost there, he is just missing the idea of competition placing the powerful in a position to enslave the majority.
If you are conservative you will love this. Its entertainment. Just as liberals Capitalism: A Love Story .
Rape For Profit (2012)
Christian funded Propaganda
Horrible things happen to prostitutes. This is news to no one. This film is motivated by nothing more then putting people in the pews!!! If you are a fundamental Christian you will love the view points expressed here.
I find it disgusting that they are using this abuse to move forward their own Christian agenda. Especially since it is primarily the Christians that have caused this problem.
You want to help them. Legalize prostitution. Normalize sexual expression in art. Regulate. You will never stop this. But you can provide these men and women someone to reach out to when they are abused but the pimps or customers.
Attract decent loving people to the industry by removing the stigma of adult entertainment.
Please. If you watch this movie. Do not drink the KoilAid and lets really make a difference in their lives. And condemn the producers of this film for being part of the problem instead of the solution.
Judas & Jesus (2009)
The real deal
I have always been a fan of Judas. He is and always will be my favorite disciple. I wont go into why but this video starts its viewer on a divergent path with the passion story we know today. It does so by mocking the "cartoonish" representations we have created with figures who really had some very multidimensional to say.
Anyone seeing Mary in this video will immediately wish to some very nasty things to her and the tale confirms that she will probably enjoy all of them. And she may teach you a thing or two.
I encourage you to EXPERIENCE this video. Then figure out not what it is trying to accomplish but what has it stirred in you.
It is also entertaining, well animated... and NSFW. Except I watch it at work... so whatever.
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)
I like to hear the other side...
I found it aggravating but with some good points until it got to the idea of eugenics as a possible result of science. That is utterly horrific and disgusting. Everyone in the field knows that no one can predict what the favorable phenotypes are.
Hitler was an idiot and a Catholic. His motivation was equal parts misunderstood Darwinism and misunderstood religious dogma.
I personally will never watch this piece of garbage again. A Jewish man using the holocaust to make his point is the worst kind of selling out and Ben Stein should be very ashamed of himself. It trivializes the atrocities of the Nazi party and will do nothing but encourage antisemitism within atheists. Because it is our ideology that brought about the death camps.
Stein eat a big ole bag of....
American Mary (2012)
More Stupid Torture Porn
Warning this movie contains torture porn... the acting is good the lead is super hot but I lost all respect for this movie when it decided to give up on story and just try to gross people out.
I WISH MOVIES LIKE THIS HAD A WARNING!
Don't get me wrong I like horror movies. I can even watch gore... Texas Chainsaw... Evil Dead (2013)... But movies like this break my heart that people find this entertaining.
I gave it 2 stars for the outfits but the movie is fundamentally stupid... no struggle to overcome... no suspense... no fear... no likable characters... no plot... no story...
What did i just watch...?
Trance (2013)
this is bad
i don't generally write reviews but if you are in this for a compelling story look somewhere else. this movie builds and builds to a complete let down. i am not a huge fan of pretentious subtext so maybe it was lost on me but i was really disappointed with how this story wrapped itself up.. pun intended.
its not really a one but so many people voted this up i really had high expectations.
the sad thing is it has a great cast and a good premise but i wanted to go down the rabbit with oooohs and aaaahhhhs ... and i didn't see that coming... and while there are a few twists there is no way to predict them and if you try an average imagination will produce something far more creative then what happens in the movie.
