Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Watch out for crows with stalker tendencies,
because The Secret of NIMH is the Greatest Movie EVER.
Review in a Nutshell: A technically masterful work of animation by Don Bluth and company, the Secret of NIMH is hampered only by the inclusion of certain inexplicable mystical elements. As a bonus, it’s also guaranteed to traumatize the kiddies with frightening images of danger and death.
No screencaps this time. I watched the movie through Netflix’s ‘Watch Instantly’ streaming video service.
Watch for the Werewolf Break, because The Beast Must Die is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: The Beast Must Die is a quirky hybrid of murder mystery and werewolf movie with a stellar cast that was filmed at the beautiful Shepperton Studios in England. The film’s salient features are the Werewolf Break and the fact that the werewolf was played by a large, fluffy dog.
This movie contains:
Ground Mics!
Obnoxious House Guests.
Dog on the roof. DOG ON THE ROOF!
Exploding Helicopters.
Don’t drink the amber rum, because The Devil’s Backbone is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: The Devil’s Backbone is a Gothic tale of injustice and inevitability set during the Spanish Civil War. Think of it as a primer for Pan’s Labyrinth, with less magic, more realism, and no Doug Jones.
This movie contains:
Inappropriate Relationships.
Friendly Ghosts.
Burn Victims.
Savage Children.
COMING SOON!
Mom and I take a crack at The Beast Must Die. Watch for the Werewolf Break!
Beware of mutant space geckos, because Pitch Black is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: Pitch Black is a clever little science fiction film with a used universe aesthetic and a scintillating performance by Vin Diesel as escaped convict Richard B. Riddick. Too bad David Twohy had to muck it all up in the sequel…
This movie contains:
Keith David, Space Faring Muslim.
Purple People Eaters? (Okay, that’s more of a Cyan…)
ACTING!
PATHOS.
COMING SOON!
