The Proposition (2005)
not a review, just an opinion.
The only thing in this world that is more slowly paced than this movie is Continental Drift! I kept looking at the clock, kept wondering when it was going pick up speed. It never did. On the box, one of the critics claims this to be a classic in the vein of Peckinpah, Eastwood, Leone. I'm considering suing said critic for "false advertisement" or misrepresentation. I really have nothing else to say about it but they're telling me I've not written enough, hence: this filler. I miss the days of Peckinpah, the time before writers thought it necessary to fill script with "f*ck"s and "GD"s. (BTW: Were/are flies really that bad in Australia?)
Sette uomini d'oro nello spazio (1979)
Italian Sci-Fi....'nuff said!
Other than the fact that the copy I watched was apparently edited and spliced by a room full of baboons with kindergarten scissors and Scotch tape, this is undoubtedly the worst tripe ever committed to celluloid. (And yes, I've seen "Plan 9") 1. Alien androids in blonde "Monkees" wigs (Hmmm, "Monkees wigs"! Perhaps that has something to do with the roomful of baboons that edited the film?) 2. Alien Overlord with a face like Hellraiser (without the pins and needles) 3. SuperSmart earthling to "save the day" although he, of course, is on the outs with any and all powers-that-be. 4. Special effects from stock footage from WWII and possibly some earthquake footage (mostly in B/W) 5. Two lovesick, depressed, suicidal, paranoid 'droids' (And yes, I know there was 'Marvin, the Paranoid Android' in "Hitchhikers Guide", but that was a comedy....this isn't) 6. Same 'Glowing eyes' from earthling (opens safe by looking at it), alien overlord (renders competing bidder lifeless) and some guy that's supposed to have psychic abilities (capable of anything from seeing thru playing cards to 'total mind control followed by amnesia'). 7. An entire Earth that is completely apathetic to the fact they're about be all become slaves to an alien overlord. 8. Over acting 9. NO acting 10. To borrow a line from 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'... "Script? You mean there's a SCRIPT?" (There are way more than 10, but you get the idea.) *** OK!!! SAVING GRACE!!! The best name for a chemical/material ever in any sci-fi movie. "INTHEORYUM" (In Theory....um)
