Re: True Christian™ Movies

Bride of Frankenstein

Nostalgia runs wild

this movie is nothing to be proud of! The premise sucks, the plot is just plain cheesy and it's not very entertaining. I didn't like the monster as a character because he simply wasn't scary, and surely didn't look all too real...

Unfortunately, this movie will be praised by old-timers forever, even though it can't hold a candle to most horror flicks.


Casablanca

this is simply the most overrated movie in American history

This movie was not "a masterpiece", it is actually a piece of something else. It had a weak plot, atrocious acting and a pathetic ending. Also, it was very annoying. Only people swayed by the almighty popular opinion would claim they like this film.


Chinatown

Slow and dragged out, a real yawner!

This would have been better as a one hour short feature. Acting was good, direction (Polanksi) was awful. Did he have a shooting script? I fell asleep - and I was the projectionist!


Citizen Kane

Very over rated film!

Very over rated film! A newspaper tycoon (modeled after Hearst) dies, utters the word "rosebud" and his life is traced in flashbacks. If that's your idea of excitement and great movie making, go for it. It makes me yawn!

Brokeback Mountain

No, really. Hear me out.

Two sporadically employed ranch hands who half-remember their upbringing as false Christians make the impulsive decision one evening to adopt the sodomite deathstyle choice. The movie has a happy ending from a True Christian™ perspective when [spoiler] one of the homers is savagely beaten to death and the other one ends up old, bitter, regretful, and alone [/spoiler] .

Re: True Christian™ Movies

The whole Star Wars thing was nothing more than a ploy buy George Lucas to push the gay lifestyle down the collective throats of America. Sadly Lucas succeed.

Just look at the gay subtext in the movie.

I am not even done.

Take the Infamous Trash Compactor Scene on the Death Star. How in Jesus name something that depraved could be shown in the US without mobs of Christians burning theaters down, I don't know, but it was the '70s and Jimmy Carter was president.

But first Luke and his buddy Han Solo (you mean is in "Solo Hand Job" Mr Luca?) dress up in rubber fetish "storm trooper" suits, pick of a *cough* *cough* lady, "Princess" Leia Organa (even at 18 I figured out her name really mean "Laid and Orgasmic") and go probing some wet and dark placed.

Right.

So down there in all the junk (like that wasn't making it clear) some pink snake like creature wraps itself around Luke, goes for his mouth and drags him under. I'll grant at lest Luke wasn't orally sodomized on screen, but it was clear enough what was going on.

Well they have to save Luke from a giving a forced blow job. Princess Leia can't castrate the thing with a hair dryer so they call in their gay house boy, 3CPO, who uses a vibrator, R2D2, to penetrate and orifice on the Death Star, resulting in release.

And that scene brethren was shown to almost every man, woman and child in America. Disgusting.

Re: True Christian™ Movies

City of God

Impressive but irresponsible

Imagine what it would have been like if Tarantino made a film about the D.C. area sniper shootings, then you'll get "City of God" - a sensational, cold and calculated stylistic exercise based on compelling real-life human drama. The story of the kids involving in the drug trade turf wars is an extraordinary one, but somehow the filmmaker has managed to reduce it to a showcase of his cinematic bag of tricks. This film has left me completely cold, and disgusted by the filmmaker's intentions.


Dr Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb

I didn't get it

Probably the only funny part of this movie was Slim Pickins riding the bomb. Otherwise, I just didn't get it. You have to be a huge Peter Sellers fan to like this one, I guess. My sense is that if you like Mel Brook's flicks, you'll probably like this one.


Finding Nemo

Whats up with the missing or dead parent thing

Lets take a look. Finding nemo had no mother because she died. Toy story had no Father. Beauty and the beast had no mother. Simba (Kimba) lost his father. And yet there is no explination or coming to terms with the missing parents (I don't think Simba came to terms with anything). I disliked this movie because it seemed like the same old Disney rant of some one is in trouble and needs help cause they're lost. Guess I just like good animation with an excellent story. Story is a 1/10... animation is a 8/10... Have a good day. Yeah!. Fun! Watch Totoro instead. !

The Fly (1986)

Gross! But it inspired a classic pun

I saw this movie once. Never again. David Cronenberg seems to be going out of his way in this movie to gross out the audience. The problem is, he mistakes revulsion for genuine horror and suspense.

This movie has one redeeming value. It inspired what has to be the All-Time Classic Worst Pun in the History of the World. It came from Bob Hope: "Hey, did you see this new movie, "The Fly?" Jeff Goldblum plays a mad scientist who accidentally turns himself into a giant fly. My favorite scene in the movie is when the scientist and his wife are sitting in a restaurant. The scientist drinks a bowl of soup, and his wife turns to the waiter and says, 'Waiter, there's a soup in my fly!'"

Have any of you guys seen "Jesus Camp?" What a tear jerker, just a beautifully filmed documentary.

Re: True Christian™ Movies

The Godfather, Parts I And II

Boooooring

Title says it all.... This movie was long, and cut out the best parts of the book. It had a good cast, but that can't make up for poor transition from the novel. Bottom line: read the book, it's better.


The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Funny, Campy, idiotic-one of the worst westerns ever made!

This film borders on the absurd, from the Civil War Scenes supposedly showing The Battle of Bull Run-filmed in a locale resembling the American Southwest-instead of Virginia-in the east, to the pathetic acting of Clint Eastwood-this film as a serious western is very sad. I know it enjoys a high rating, perhaps I missed something. As a possible camp like dark comedy it is easier to watch. The only person who could act in this film-is Eli Wallach, who hams up his role quite well. I will give Lee Van Cleef some credit as well-he makes a great "Angel Eyes". Clint is Clint, what else can be said. Somehow this guy was able to build a career on very little. To be sure, he has done some works that I have been able to enjoy-however, this is not one of them. If you wish to see a violent movie, with terrible sets and horrible screenplay-then go for this one. I am sure that if you really sit back and digest this movie-you will see as a comedy it has potential.


Goodfellas

A despicable movie

Over rated piece of %#@!. Why a movie that glorifies the scum of this planet is so popular is beyond me. People should know better than think that foul language and gratuitous violence makes a movie. One word describes this poor excuse of a movie, "pitiful".


Lawrence Of Arabia

Quote:
The worst highly-rated movie in IMDB

BORING, self-important, you don't care about the characters

Even granting that the cinematography is okay, it's like watching an Internet Camera focused on the desert 24 hours a day.


The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

Doesn't get my vote

After reading so much about this film, how it was as relevant today as when it was made, how it was an intelligent exciting politcal thriller and one of the best films of the 60's. Then I watched it and after a few minutes I thought I must have the wrong film. What I was watching was a movie with an silly and unbelievable story, some truly terrible dialogue badly acted and told in a slow moving rather tedious and predictable way. I'll admit Angela Lansbury was good but nearly everyone else wasn't. I can't believe this was considered good even forty years ago! Far from the classic I thought it was supposed to be, it's one of the worst films I've seen for a long time. (1/10)

Re: True Christian™ Movies

Metropolis

Really Boring - Awful
This film has to be one of THE most boring films I have watched in a while... It is in black and white for a start, which I personally find really annoying, and the music that has been put on it really does NOT suit it, without the cheesy music, it might have been alright... I guess that I also don't like the film because I have had to watch the beginning of it sooo many times (coursework on the opening sequence). The opening of the film is enough to put anyone off the film, as it is so tedious and it just drags on for what feels like forever... A lot of the shots at the start o the film all look the same, and it is very, very repetitive.


Ninotchka

You've gotta be kidding me

First of all, I should say that I'm not a closet fan of Soviet Russia.

However, seeing Soviet Russia spoofed so clumsily in this film is just plain embarrassing. The whole notion of making a featherweight comedy set in one of the most oppressive societies of all time is somewhat questionable, and it becomes completely absurd when the "oppression" we see centers mainly around the rationing of eggs and Western lingerie. In other words, this movie feels so artificial, and so tame, and so Hollywood, that its attempts to depict the hardships of life under Communism are laughable.

Too bad the intended jokes aren't as funny. Most of the humor here is of a twee and dated nature - like Garbo's "amusing" pudgy friend in Russia, and our hero punching an obnoxious clerk. Good grief.

An 8.0 on IMDb? Surpassing the French Connection, and nipping at the heels of Floating Weeds? I don't believe it. Some classics really are great, but some are pure cheese. I know Garbo's hot, but really...


On The Waterfront

Complete garbage

Depressingly awful. Looks like the director cast his mechanic, postman and a truck stop waitress in the lead roles, resulting in the type of performances typical of porn movies. I've seen more atmosphere in my father's 8mm home movies. Even hardcore drama fans will be pressed to find anything enjoyable about this bottom-feeder. It's actually packaged as a "Collector's Edition" and includes a "Making of..." documentary tagged on at the end, as if to suggest this is a "classic" to be cherished for the ages. Hopefully the director was able to get his job back at the bottle-capping factory after the shoot. Nobody should see this movie.


Pulp Fiction

Plotless

To me the movie had no plot and was merely an excuse to depict one form of violence after another; with no intent to tell a story, make a point, or to get the audience intellectually or emotionally involved with the movie.


Schindler's List

Schmaltzy

No knock on the story just the story telling. You hear John Williams cue up and might as well prep that hanky. I really wish Spielberg would maintain his distance from "deep" subject matter. Popular yes, but no auteur is he.
