Mystery of the Nile (2005)
Excluding the self-promotion....
Excluding the brief self-promotion of dodgy 'actors', I loved this movie because of its cinematography, still photos and music.
I agree that the "danger" posed did seem to be exaggerated.
And that studio sequence of the guys in Lake Tana did take from the up- until-then live footage.
The music is well-mixed, adding percussion to the best of indigenous voices and sounds (which can be sparse in those regions), giving the documentary an exciting tone.
All in all, well worth getting out on DVD to hear the soundtrack, and see some of the still photos.
Movie 43 (2013)
Tongue-in-cheek, and well done
I just laughed for about 90 minutes. Movie 43 has some really bad press. And it is vulgar, puerile, offensive, inappropriate, Porky's-like...but I laughed almost all the way through it.
It helped to have Class A stars in it, doing/saying the most bizarre things...
In the style of Modern Family, with Mel Brooks in the background, snickering.
And a really good "punch" at the Hollywood industry. For just a mere $6 million! In Australia, one could make 3 really funny movies for that, and you might even get the big "blockbuster" stars to support them.
Movie 43 certainly beats many of the stupid box-office "hits"
