this was about what i expected i guess. it tries to be black hawk down with a heart, but was pretty boring. black hawk down was incredible as an action movie, and its attempt at ignoring politics gave an interesting representation of the troops involved. tears of the sun has so-so action […]

aside from its groundbreaking gore, this is a nice mst-quality b-movie. the dvd had i think 40 minutes of “outtakes” which was basically all the footage they didn’t use, and it’s surprising there was that much. there are so many ‘why did they do that?’ moments. the mom’s acting especially. at one point her daughter’s […]

this was pretty wild. i spent a lot of time confused, which i like. the dude ramming his head against the tree was especially perplexing.
the story was fairly interesting until the badass hunter was introduced and you pretty much knew how things were going to end up. guimba’s actual comeuppance was a nice “wha?” […]

another typical argusfest screening - me and 4 other people. 2 journalists were in liberia during charles taylor’s final days - one in monrovia, interviewing taylor and others around the city, the other with the lurd who were approaching the city with the intent of tossing taylor out. it’s an incredible document of […]

the subject definitely made this one difficult to enjoy. the breakdown of trust in a couple and slow disintegration of their marriage amongst screaming kids is not really an enjoyable time. but i could have liked it if it weren’t so unimaginative and cliched. it’s annoying how when people daydream in movies they totally lose […]

very enjoyable account of pioneers of exploitation. good balance of clips, interviews, and candid moments. the music was a little hokey. henenlotter is a good representative of a current exploitation fan - looking back on the films with a mixture of disgust and reverence. especially in his reactions to mau-mau and forbidden adventure (sw’s description […]

overall, by the time the movie is done i found the story decently satisfying. basically a nice little story about how people’s lives get ruined with mostly understated pathos. but along the way the scenes did not interest me at all. partly i think it’s pretty dated - the idea of a big family name […]

i’m a huge pogues fan and this was a nice overview of their history, with some decent insights by people along the way. they mix old footage and talking heads well with current footage of macgowan stumbling around. the moments in his current life with his wife give a little bit of what’s going on, […]

the first date ending at the pier was nice and evocative. when it became clear that booze was going to be the cause of all their problems it got tedious. but the goal i guess was to get to rock bottom so they needed to economize. still i think they could have not simplified things […]

documentary about a group of baltimore youths (13 y.o. seemed like) chosen to attend a school in kenya for 2 years. i heard a lot of superlatives about how inspiring and what a tearjerker it was and it lived up to that. the kids are incredibly likeable and it’s hard to stay detatched. […]
