Seljaci (2001)
Terrible waste of time and money
This is perhaps the worst movie ever made in Serbia. Utter stupidity of lines, pointless directing, improbable story, cheap political agenda, and cheesy attempt on social comment, all wrapped up in the product which clearly caters to poorest taste. "Seljaci" is the decadent offspring of prolific maker of countryside movies, targeted to countryside dwellers in a need of a few laughs, and definitely not in a need of cinematic subtlety. Some of Lazic's works from the eighties bore the clear marks of inventiveness...IMHO, this is especially case with underestimated "Sekula i njegove zene" (1986), comedy of tempers which was conceived as yet another redneck fun, but born as flawed masterpiece. This is not the case with "Seljaci"...this thing is so poorly designed that it can hardy be called a movie.
Southern Comfort (1981)
Brilliant war movie!
SPOILER WARNING
Extraordinary story of harsh realities of war. I believe that this is, in fact, a war movie with all of it`s inherent characteristics: surviving the completely alien territory, deadly conflict with faceless enemies, and, most of all, gripping and terrifying blend of soldiers` incompetence, insubordination, and desperate lust for life. Scene with most suspense is the culmination, when Carradine and Boothe find themselves in the heart of what one of them believe to be an enemy territory, and engage in mortal combat with resonating background of authentic Cajun music. Walther Hill at his best. One thing that I cannot approve is ethnic stereotyping of Cajuns as wild swamp folk. That can be artistically justified, but every film, just like any other artwork, has a different consecvences other than artistic.
Decak iz Junkovca (1995)
Marvellous!!!
Great movie! Hilarious, but somewhat touching story about scribomaniac, inventor, great swimmer and lover, in quest for a perfect movie, perfect invention, perfect woman. I saw that man twice in my life: first at the Book Fair in Belgrade, where he. encompanied by his blonde 20-or something girlfriend, encouraged people to drink some brandy with him and buy some of his books, and second, just one day after the 5. october 2000. coup, when he set up a video-beam on The Republic Square in a street-show of his movie "The Waitress". I hear that Ratomir is very ill nowadays. I wish him all the best, and, to repeat Mr. Dabovic's line, "What Kusturica, Ratomir he deserves the award for the best filmmaker ever and of all times!"
Mazes and Monsters (1982)
Ultimate RPG bashing
Young Tom Hanks on the lame beginning of his magnificient career portrayed the character seldom seen in reality, but often seen in paranoid newsletters of evangelistic churches - mentally deranged role-playing games fan. Yes, there are real questions concerning this issue, but, pamphletic view given in "Monsters and Mazes" surely doesn't add to this movie's scarce qualities.
