D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! (2022)
Documenting how to harass in order to make money.
The minute this obsessed guy started waving a check in the old guy's face while lying about filming him, I knew I watching a rip off, not a documentary. I came to read the reviews and saved myself wasting more of my time.
Lost Highway (1997)
Pretentious garbage like most of his films.
This is the equivalent of nailing a banana to the floor and hailing it as a piece of modern art. It's weird, it has no meaning but it will have self-important critics trying to endorse it by finding absurd allegories and connections between nails and bananas.
Save your time to watch something meaningful and actually enjoyable.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Missed opportunity
The Haunting of Hill House has great actors, great direction and cinematography but offers nothing new to the genre, apart maybe from toying with the concept of nonlinear time. Unfortunately, instead of making something original with this, we are forced to endure countless ghost cliches, damn boring monologues created for emmy submitions, and unlikeable characters (the cold, the hypocrite, the weak, the liar). The only exciting event was the revelation in Bent Neck Lady, which was something that could have driven the entire story. It could make the series a unique one. Instead, we are offered a half-baked explanation in yet another monologue (by a ghost of course). Don't waste your time.
Paradise or Oblivion (2012)
Utopian fantasy
The whole business with the Venus Project is funny; it may be admirable in its goals but it envisions a ridiculously unrealistic future. Yes, today humanity faces many problems, and the Zeitgeist movement does identify a lot of them. Apart from that, it fails to identify actual causes, quotes no actual research and completely ignores human nature. Better societies are built incrementally; social engineering feats like those envisioned by the Venus Project are doomed to disaster, and history has plenty of examples. This short film is mildly interesting as science fiction, and a little more interesting as moral philosophical musings. But it cannot be taken seriously as anything remotely possible to happen.
Gosford Park (2001)
Boring and pointless
An Agatha Christie style movie with nothing whatsoever which would make it interesting. No plot, and tons of script lines that add nothing to the story but only work for the viewer's sleeping problems. Avoid it.
