My random reviews of everything #006: the stranger (1946)

My Random Reviews of Everything #002 – The Bible

I was down at the Senior Center thrift store a while back and they have a ton of old VHS tapes for a buck*, so I got a couple. One of them was The Bible from 1966. Directed by John Houston, cast of thousands, epic Old Testament stuff, etc. I’d only seen it once, about [...]

My Random Reviews of Everything #001 – The Guard

This is a new category that condenses several others together so as not to make me any more confuseder than I already am. Let’s start it off with a movie I just watched… The Guard Just rented this from Redbox and (as an aside), even though I’m not getting paid to say this (yet), I highly recommend Redbox’ [...]

Review: The Winds of War

This is a TV miniseries from 1983 that I watched a little of back then, but never the whole thing. Seven episodes of 2½ hours each might be one reason, but I couldn’t sleep the other night so I tried it out on Netflix Streaming. It’s beautifully filmed (a lot of it in Yugoslavia), Robert Mitchum is, [...]

Space Nazis? What the hell… why not?

Interesting concept: get a bunch of internet users to finance your movie! I doubt if I’ll be donating, but I’ll be happy to watch it if it ever comes out. This reminds me of the Moller Aircar — they’ve been taking “investments” for about 30 years now. Still no flyable prototype.

Goin’ Postal

WTH? I never even heard of this movie. Since it seems to make fun of terrorists (a big no-no, evidently), I guess it got buried. I know that Uwe Boll is ‘famous’ for being “the world’s worst director”, and this movie is probably one of the reasons why. Still, I want to see it now. [...]

Now I’m going to see Iron Man for sure…

Why didn’t somebody think of doing this earlier? I’d go to see it twice. *I was going to see it anyway*

If only they could put together a decent cast for this movie…

Heh, just kidding. This kinda stuff brings out the little boy in me. Needless to say, I’ll be seeing this one in the theatre. Hope it’s in 3D.

What if… just for laughs?

Actually, it’s not all for laughs. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg created “Raiders” as a homage to 50′s movie serials. This guy just pasted together what might have inspired them. Pretty good job.

Ok… NOW you can panic!

This actually looks like a fun movie. No pretense, just pure, unmitigated Disaster! According to the Mayan calender, we’re all going to die in 2012. Right.  The Mayans couldn’t predict their own demise, but they can predict everybody else’s? Sure thing, pal.  Did you know that on December 31, 999AD, at a quarter to midnight, the [...]
