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.

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.
