Sleazy trash
28 October 2020
The title looked like campy fun, but this trash fest was just too overpowering for me. It doesn't seem self-aware or ironic in any way. I can't believe Erik Estrada (CHiPs) and Danny Trejo (Heat) starred in it. The other actors do their best, and not all of them are bad, but are limited by the script and relentlessly mediocre production values. I wonder what kind of MST3k episode this would have been?

Brings back the flavor of Brooklyn
5 November 2019
This film captures a Brooklyn that is funny, gritty, and larger than life. It brings back a time that will hopefully never die, the New York that I fell in love with, that may have only been in a dream but the one that I would like to experience, if only through movies such as this. We experience a hapless law student caught up in arranged marriage, but is the story really about him? The other characters assert their destiny, unstoppable archetypes of Brooklyn bravado, these characters with more heart and soul than superheroes. Enter the time machine of 79 parts.

Man in Camo (2018)

A unique journey
18 October 2019
I loved the DIY ethos in this film. A unique, deepy personal film. Filming started when Ethan was in the womb, up to the present day. I especially responded to the punk rock scene in DC in the late 80s. Hilarious and honest examination an angry young rebel transforming into an adult family man rebel.
