Film reviews by Igor Donne

Perhaps you will get the idea I do not watch much T.V. or film, and that is true.  Just what can be had from the library when a movie is in order.

Despite that reality this list follows, please send your contributions

with adulation or acrimony.

GREAT

Blood Diamond 

Battle for Algiers

Matrix (only the First film) - [everyone in the biz knows government agents put guns in those Wachowski bros. mouths and made them create sequels]

Sin City

300 (Didn’t Greek guys have hairy chests and arms and legs?  Did I miss a waxing scene?)

Ong Bak - Tony Jaa, the greatest since Bruce Lee, and in this film, perhaps the greatest ever.  A great film.

Ran - Kurosawa’s masterpiece

Kundun - Scorsese’s most beautiful film about the life of H.H. the Dalai Lama

Taxi Driver - Scorsese’s greatest ugly film.

Lagaan - Beautiful hindi film, robbed of the Oscar to facilitate the War n Terror

Children of Men - frightening and moving

Hideous Kinky - Brilliant study of the ex-pat spirt quest set.

American Splendor

Kak and utter kak 

Closer-So bad it is unbearable to watch

I Am Legend-Worse than Closer, if possible, perhaps the worst monster movie since The Relic

No country for old men - boring fake and insipid, that ass would get iced in one day acting the fool in this land.

Fantastic Four - oh my God, that was pure pain from beginning to end.

King Kong (And the revolting Ring Movies)

Iron Man (The Drug Use Avengers Squad - How did the director shed all those pounds? And let us not broach the topic of racist one dimensional Muslim baddies with no motive)

The Protector - Tony Jaa totally wasted in a deeply bad film.

The Interpreter - The first time anyone got full access to the U.N. building to make a movie and they made the most boring, pointless, nonsensical movie ever.

And, while it is TV, it must be said that the well reviewed Battlestar Galactica remake is perhaps the worst kak ever made.  Two thousand years afte the destruction of earth the use the same guns and smoke the same cigarettes…

these shows are like retirement homes for hams
