MythBusters (2003)
Brilliant!
This show is by far one of my most favourite of all time.
Not only is there the science element, but Jamie and Adam make it hilarious!
The idea of mixing myths with science is one of pure genius. My girlfriend and I both have a great time watching these guys try to make modern myths into modern fact, but at the same time bust myths that are complete rubbish. If only more TV shows were like this!
In the words of Adam;
"That was intense!"
Now check out why he said that!
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Attempting to be shocking and original, but just fails... Why can't people see that?
After so much hype from TV and friends I finally decided to see this. I'll keep this short, since I have better things to do with my time then comment on such an awful piece of cinema. But believe me, this comes from the heart. I love martial arts films (especially Bruce Lee films) and I also love splatter horror films (Troma and other independent stuff). But when I finally saw Kill Bill vol.1 I was shocked. It's not the worst film I've ever seen, but it's definitely up (or down) there (and I've seen A LOT OF FILMS in my life.) I couldn't believe how sloppy this film is, I noticed about 20 mistakes in the first 15 minutes alone.
The fight scenes are way to OTT and very very unrealistic. Uma Thurman seems to play some sort of superwoman with ever-lasting stamina. Her moves look silly and her facial expression doesn't seem to change throughout the whole thing. The fight with Gogo is freaky and full of mistakes. The blades come out the ball she is wielding at the touch of a button on the handle, but I don't see how that could happen since there were no wires going through the chains to make this mechanism possible. Also, since when did getting hit in the side of the head by a two-by-four, with nails in, make a person cry blood? Rubbish.
This is a failed and extremely cheesy attempt by Tarantino to make something shocking, stylish and different, both as a director and writer. As for Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu... Why? Why have those talentless idiots in such a huge release?
Don't waste your time with this drivel. Go rent Power Rangers or something, since that seems more believable that this Tarantino reject.
Staplerfahrer Klaus - Der erste Arbeitstag (2000)
This absolutely rocks!
A couple of weeks ago I saw this film as part of my forklift truck training. I thought it was going to suck when it first started up and the cheesy music came on but before I knew it, there were limbs and blood flying everywhere!
It's really really gory. But sort of 'Troma' gory, if you've seen Toxic Avenger or Terror Firmer, you'll know what I'm talking about.
The whole film is just a non-stop killing-fest. People being skewered on the forks, hands being severed, a knife jamming into someone's head and some guy getting cut in half by a sheet of metal. All makes for a VERY entertaining film.
But this is DEFINITELY NOT for people with weak stomachs!
But if you love your gore, I say what are you waiting for? SEE IT! Even if it is only 10 minutes long...!
