I’m not the only one, read the reviews. Besides, taste is subjective and has nothing to do with intelligence.
A perfect cop from a 1980’s training film slowly turns into an actual person and has to come to grips with harsh reality. A strange and unique exploration into that man’s psyche. Not for everyone, perhaps almost no one but I loved it. I look forward to what writer/director Quinn Armstrong comes up with next.
Hooooly shit that’s an excellent band, I would’ve loved to have seen a show like that 😂
Dick Wolf just keeps crankin’ them out. He’s a superstar.
He’s definitely a force of nature, I don’t think he actually does much currently other than use his name to make crazy money. No hate, he deserves it. I was in a band called ‘Wolf Dick’ and all our songs were summaries of Law & Order episodes. “You did it! You did it! She’s dead and ‘Nofrio tilted his head!”
Sometimes I find a movie with a poster like this and I’m intrigued. Having no interest whatsoever in watching it, I turn to the IMDB and open the Parent’s Guide page where, among other, sex and nudity shots in the film are sometimes described.
Honestly I never expect to find anything interesting. Nor would I watch a movie solely based on how graphic the nudity is in it. But you know.
But today i found this description (direct quote from imdb.com/title/tt1704201/parentalguide):
|A woman removes her bra, exposing her large breasts. She remains topless throughout the movie.
Ha! Verified and hilarious, makes me want to write some parental advice. “A former NYC governor reaches down his trousers and appears to fondle himself. No nudity.”
What a waste of a great premise. This movie takes itself way too seriously so all of the cheesy fun you might expect is non-existent. It’s just a very mediocre action flick. ‘Santa’ is a boring grumpy guy that keeps being referred to as fat despite the fact that he’s not. He gets shot at and he shoots back, that’s all you get. I was extremely disappointed as I was sure I would have at least a few laughs.
Thank you and everyone else. I shouldn’t have engaged, I normally don’t but his comment was so off the wall and out of the blue I got an urge and a surge and it’s outta control now. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahYeah!
I think this really shows black people have evolved in horror comedies. From Scary Movie to Jordan Peele’s projects and this fun interpretation of the struggles of black hair is refreshing to watch. 80s setting was great and got song stuck in head.
From horrible to almost tolerable, yay!! Regarding horror comedy only, I have no problem with Peele. He has nothing to do with this POS. I don’t understand why you mentioned him.
Either I’m having de ja vu or this is a remake or at least a story that has been told before. I knew everything before it happened, even the character’s names. Am I insane or was this actually released a few years ago under another name? Probably insane…
I need some more gory comedy in my life. Anyway, Fun episode; Iggy Pop, Katey Sagal, Lee Arenberg and the Cryptkeeper. I wish there was something modern like this that was at least half as entertaining
Some hilarious moments but nowhere near the classic that the first was. I think this was made quickly and Sacha was just using the Borat format to get his point across before the election, and he did. So much of this was obviously staged and that was kind of annoying. Hey, my camera crew and I have no place to stay… WTF? At the same time those guys did seem legit but how could they be? I’d hire them for a Deliverance remake in a heartbeat. Bottom line, a must-see one time watch.
Don’t waste your time. This is ‘Rudy’ without Rudy;’Dangerous Minds’ without the dangerous cheese; ‘Searching For Bobby Fischer’ that never finds him.
All in all, a complete bore. Boo to Bill Maher for recommending this.
Vonnegut is my favorite author and this originally very short story has been retold a million times. Wiki has it wrong; it’s been done in all kinds of ways even in sitcoms and cartoons. That said, most got the gist right. This POS however varies wildly and who casted Samwise as ‘tall and handsome’ before he even had hair on his feet?
(Referring to Black Box only) I started watching this as background noise but this was a surprisingly good movie.
Cancel this crap and bring back The Tick. I can’t believe I’m the only only person who sees how horrible this show has become.
Going into this episode, I am bored. If it doesn’t hook me, I’m giving up.
I don’t understand all the hatred for this movie. For a low budget (not obviously) sci-fi, it is about as good as you can get. And it is a unique take on the ‘send someone to future to save the world’ trope. With some better dialogue/acting and a more cohesive storyline, this could have been great.
Knowing the true story this was not very entertaining for me overall but the amazing CGI, heartstring tugs, and happy ending makes it a decent one-time view.
I won’t give it a rating because I’ve only watched 3/4 of the first episode and I can bear no more. All I see is a crappy ripoff of Eastbound and Down. I kind of liked Rory up until now but this is shameful, it’s like he’s doing an impression of Danny McBride.
All over the place and went nowhere. I wish it didn’t keep me interested because I regret every second I spent watching this cornucopia of pointlessness.
Weird, disturbing, freaky. I like it! However, so far I did not like the 2nd episode. Dude got on my nerves crying and whining…
Yeah, ep2 was just annoying. That guy’s face with the constant grimace was too much, I can’t believe I sat through it.
The worst kind of mediocre. It is full of stereotypes and tropes. This meandering mish-mash of genres is also painfully slow. Not in the good burning kind of way, but slow as in what you would call someone that is mentally handicapped, like this director must be.
So you didn’t find it wickedly perverse, intensely moving, bracing blast of air ?
I wanted all of those adverbs and adjectives to wash over me and cleanse me of my obscenity but they never came. Instead I am left in a pit of despair hoping for rope of decent entertainment to pull me out.
Seriously, your username reminded me how much I love Escape From New York. Not L.A. I’m gonna watch that instead of this pretentious BS.
5/5 Fantastic pro trump, pro US film, left will hate it. one of few examples that shows us how good trump is and why he is doing what he is doing, what american is and can be great again. This film was so ahead of times. This is a must see, it will change how you see america and politics.
Great film, funny, smart,takes awhile to really get started but wow worth the wait and watch.
You are a moron, how can a fictitious film from 20 years ago be pro Trump? I am very liberal and I love this movie, because I saw/see it as what it is; a satire and warning of things that might be possible. Warren Beatty, who also wrote and directed this, is a staunch democrat. Unfortunately, he lived to see his fears come to fruition. He is still alive at 82 and I’ll bet he can outwit you any day.
I watched this and kept thinking it will get better but it didn’t. I couldn’t understand half of the English dialogue because of the horrible sound quality, the half that I did was atrocious. Also a good portion of it was in Spanish without subs. The action scenes were terribly choreographed. Shia did well with what he was given. The director, writers, and crew are to blame for this one.
If done right, this could have turned into a fun series.
Best new (to me) comedian I’ve seen in years. Original and refreshing compared to all of the terrible stand-up these days. Any recs, send me a message.
I forgot how insane this is. Watching it again it is quite prophetic. Cronenberg is a genius (I don’t use that word lightly) that saw the future. Even if you are not a fan, with this and Videodrome, how can anyone disagree? Have to mention all of the incredible actors too. Highly recommended for lovers of the bizarre and perverse.
The PG version
I haven’t been able to watch it yet but I did find it and it’s PG-13 with no alternative ending listed in the features on the back. Maybe it doesn’t have a happy ending and I just remember it that way because I love it so. I’m gonna have to compare.
Haven’t watched this yet but for anyone who is interested ‘The Current War’ is a pretty good depiction of the Edison/Westinghouse/Tesla electricity scandal. https://www.primewire.ag/movie/245592-watch-the-current-war I’ve been waiting for a good Tesla biopic and this doesn’t look like it will be but I’m curious so I will give it a chance.
Are any of these link to the other ending?
What other ending? I love this movie and own the DVD but I do not remember it having an alternate ending. I haven’t watched it in a long time but I remember it ending happily. I’m gonna have to dig out the DVD and check it out, sometime I ignore the special features.
This was mediocre to me. Very pretentious, especially the ending. I kept wondering why there were all these flashbacks of a random black family. The kid turns out to be Jesse Williams. I was supposed to know that? How does someone change races as they age? WTF? I don’t get all the praise for this guy, what has he done? Some crappy shows and a needless remake of Jacob’s Ladder? If you are looking for horror, I wouldn’t call it that. It is more of a thriller with a couple of kind of gory scenes.
Ahhhhh NO :)
Millions of dollars to play a pirate on a crappy Disney ride? Yes you would and what’s wrong with that? Did you get your moniker from Fishbone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tfwMj_j_O0 If so, cheers, great album. If not, salud.
