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
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.
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.
