German flick "Freaks" on first inspection is not substantively different from many other productions, cast in a similar vein.Where it does depart is its treatment of the subject matter, which is substantially more down to earth than its counterparts. This is a tale about ordinary people who happen to have extraordinary abilities and how this impacts on them, as people. It lacks the grit and cynical grandiosity, not to mention the gratuitous violence, you might typically expect.I found this treatment refreshing. Its thoughtful and heartfelt and I feel, offers more depth of character development.Certainly, it has its moments of exposition driven action but that said, this is a quieter film, that may not appeal to super hero action addicts.I enjoyed Freaks . Its has a maturity of treatment that you don't often see in the superhuman genre.7/10.
Song references that are dated aside, the movie is quite decent. Even without reading what this is about, you can guess where it heads. A nice central performance by the female lead and another great performance by Wotan, her "mentor" if you will. The movie itself is predictable, but it still is fun to watch.Who wouldn't want to have certain powers? And then depending on your character, you would apply or use them at your own free will. Yes this can go south of course ... though I reckon if there was an equivalent to the NRA for superheroes, they would say: only a good superhero with powers can stop a bad superhero with powers ... joking aside, the movie is decent, if you are into this sort of stuff.
I first saw Spies Like Us when I was a kid, when Chevy Chase was my favourite actor. I must have seen it about fifty times since then and I am almost word-perfect on the script. However, I've never owned the DVD since Warner have never released it in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Thankfully it is currently available in HD on the PlayStation network.Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge (Chase and Aykroyd) are two lowly government workers who are suddenly promoted to the elite GLG-20 spy status after they are caught cheating on a test. What they don't know is that they are just decoys to draw heat away from the real spies and are promptly dumped straight into enemy territory.Chase and Aykroyd have great chemistry together and I'm surprised they didn't work together much after this (although they did hook up for The Couch Trip, Caddyshack 2 and Nothing But Trouble). There's loads of fun to had in watching them bumble from one zany situation from the next. And, as this is a Landis film, there are director cameos all over the place. Keep a lookout for Terry Gilliam, Martin Brest, Joel Coen, Sam Raimi etc.Despite the fanbase, Warner have never showed this film any respect or given special treatment of any kind when it comes to the home video market. As I already said, as of yet the only DVD available is the fullscreen version from 1998. Even the HD version I watched was from a very murky print and has terrible sound. If Warner make a Blu Ray from this master it's still not worth buying.Give it a rent unless a proper remaster is done. Which is unlikely.
Ruby and Keyes have a covert operation to hijack a Soviet nuclear missile launcher. General Sline suggests sending two decoy agents along with the real agents on the mission. Emmett Fitzhume (Chevy Chase) is a womanizing schemer taking the foreign service board exam. Brilliant code-breaker Austin Millbarge (Dan Aykroyd) is working in the basement under a sleazy boss who doesn't tell him about the exam until the last minute. Millbarge joins Fitzhume in his rampant cheating. They are caught and to their surprise, they are brought into the advance program. They are generally incompetent in training and sent to Afganistan. They are picked up by two agents who turn out to be Soviets. They escape and find Dr. Hadley who mistakes them for fellow doctors. Dr. Boyer (Donna Dixon) is part of the medical team working with the Afghan resistance.It is completely stupid as a story. When Bob Hope walks into the tent in the middle of Afghanistan looking for his golf ball, the silly tone is irreversible. This relies on the strengths of Chase and Aykroyd. Chevy Chase acts like an ass and makes this funny. Aykroyd is a great neurotic sidekick without being annoying. They combine for a fun duo.
Taylor Cole and Steve Lund. In some Hallmark movies i don't like any of the lead actors, in some just one of them and in others both. In this case it's certainly the latter.The art. Hallmark makes movies about photography and painting all the time. Too many times the work of supposed talented or successful artists is just ridiculous. Not this time though.The twist. You know how in every Hallmark movie the stars break up with ten minutes left in the movie and get back together three minutes before the end? Hallmark does it because it works, it adds a dramatic effect that usually makes the entire movie better. But after watching hundreds of Hallmark movies, this not happening for once is a very welcome twist
The next thing to do after seeing The Quiet American is to see the version done 44 years later. The novel by Graham Greene is set in French Indo-China in 1952 and this version is prophetic. The other one surely has the advantage of a whole lot of hindsight. This film done in 1958 has a lot of foresight.I don't know what to make of Audie Murphy's character, it's never brought out, but he seems to be a CIA man. In the novel he's from the Ivy League, but due to Murphy's speech pattern, his character is from Texas. He's bringing in plastic for industrial purposes purportedly, but we see how the 'plastic' is really used.The political picture of Indo-China in 1952 has the United States already seeing the French won't hold on and they're getting ready to put in their own surrogate in when the French do fall. Murphy is forever talking about a 'third force' who will bring western style democracy.Murphy also becomes romantically involved with Giorgia Moll who is also the mistress of British newspaper correspondent Michael Redgrave. The rivalry between the two prevents either from acting coherently though Redgrave has a much better idea of what's really happening.Interestingly enough the United Kingdom was also fighting to hold on in Malaya the same way that the French were trying to hold on to Indo-China next door. The British were far more successful though.The Quiet American should have been seen by policy makers in Washington through six administrations in America. A lot of valuable lessons could have been learned and a lot of valuable lives might never have been lost.
Graham Greene's novel, "The Quiet American", was about a naive and rather dumb CIA operative whose blunders led to tragedy and death in Vietnam following the withdrawal of the French in the 1950s. It is definitely NOT a story that advises a greater American presence in the country and could even be seen as a huge counterpoint to American foreign policy in the 1960s. So what does Hollywood do? They buy the story and change it completely--and in the process that pretty much make it into a film saying the opposite of Greene in his novel!!! Not surprisingly, the author and many others were ticked and ended up hating the film. So, as a retired history teacher, I could not help but automatically hate the film because of its dishonesty. But that isn't the only problem with the movie...it's also very boring and was filled with Asians who aren't really Asian. All in all, you could certainly do better than this turgid little romance.
Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell turn out to be complete apologists for Vikernes. There is no mention of his role in the Heathen Front. No confrontation about his earlier writings in neo- nazi zines. It's as if his Odinism somehow exists outside his racist, pure-blood nationalism and eugenicism. It's cool to bag on Christians, god knows they've bagged on us for about 1500 years now, but Vikernes' real extremism goes completely unexplored, though the filmmakers are quick to labor the point that he's not a satanist, which any black metal fan knows. Look, the burning of Christian churches, the suicide, the murder, and the subsequent media feeding frenzy that launched Norwegian black metal onto the world stage, it's all interesting stuff, and there are some places where the record must be corrected. But this is over- correction. This is essentially a propaganda piece for Vikernes that in no way addresses the full and real picture of him or the movement. I'm not looking for demonization, I'm looking for basic, fully realized non-fiction. It's not here. If you're not familiar with the early 90's Norwegian black metal movement and the mayhem that went down in it, then you should check this out. But just know that when you're being charmed by Vikernes, as the filmmakers seem to have been, you're being charmed by a very dark guy indeed. This is too loose to be journalism, too soft to be sensationalism, and too clumsy to be of much use to anyone.
The people who made this film chose to not make it about the music. They also chose not to make about the crime. What we see instead is a noncommittal observation of the very violent results during the creation of 'true Norwegian Black Metal'. This is an interesting documentary but the producers are way too reverential toward their subjects. They seem to assume all watching know who these people are. An, I think, unintended result of watching this documentary is you wonder what the government of Norway is all about if someone can commit cold blooded murder, vacation in a place that looks like a budget hotel for some years and then be released back into society. The subjects of this doc present that Norway is some sort of fascist, totalitarian government they are obligated to stand up against. The actions of Noway tell a different story.The convicted murderer, Varg Vikernes, shows no remorse, whatsoever. He sticks to his flimsy story that an unarmed Øystein Aarseth, guitarist for the band Mayhem, kept attacking him while Vikernes stabbed him 25 times, 16 of which were in Aarseth's back ending with a Coup de Gras to the head. Somehow the producers of the documentary didn't think it was important to describe those details and that Vikernes was totally unscathed by his attack on Aarseth and that almost all Aarseth's wounds were defensive or in the back. The producers put this story way at the end of the doc and treat it as if it's just another crazy thing that happened because of BM. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. Regarding BM itself, you have to doubt the validity of any supposed art form that destroys other art like all the beautiful antique churches that were burned to the ground in Norway.Norway comes across as an absentee father where premeditated murder can only get you the maximum of 21 years in a jail/resort (where Vikernes produced two albums) and the various other felony crimes committed by BM followers are treated with a slap on the wrist. Vikernes was released after 15 years, btw. The Black Metal Heads interviewed all come off as spoiled children who display no remorse for any of the damage caused by the fanatical devotion to their 'evil' image. If Norway had better laws they wouldn't be so smug about the incredible amount of damage done by Black Metal followers.An interesting documentary made weak by it's having no point of view. 781b155fdc
