Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History (2018)
The 21st Century Benjy Compson
Chris-Chan is the exact polar opposite of Life, Animated's Owen Suskind: instead of using Disney films to communicate with the world and overcoming obstacles, CWC uses Pokémon, Sonic and other media just to get laid with a "boyfriend-free girl". Even as an autistic myself, he is the worst example.
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
It Fascinated Me
Pros: The Coens as usual with their trademark humor; "Working on the Railroad" scene one of my favorite scenes; the cast itself
Cons: Obvious innuendos
Too Cute! (2011)
:D
Pros: I won't ever get tired of cuteness as a pet lover myself from kitties and puppies finding loving owners at the end of each episode to mischief galore and even the gentle narration full of pet puns.
Cons: If I have one complaint, its using stock sound effects over actual pet sounds (but then again they're meant to be cute).
AniMat's Reviews: Escape from Tomorrow (2014)
Imagine That is Not There-This Anti-Disney Mediocrity
Pros: I'm glad as a Disney fan that he panned this movie and all of its' "flaws" (aka found it to be just another pity excuse to film at Disney theme parks as to "expose" the "evil" side of House of Mouse) to put it mildly ;);
Cons: The film and anti-Disney themselves
What Is Cinema? (2013)
A Condensed Version of Mark Cousins' "Story of Film"
Pros: Glad to see experimental films that haven't been seen in a while alongside the usual international fare; saw Chuck's previous works (Precious Images & The Source); understood the "outside the mainstream" perspective
Cons: I'm not as militant on cinema as some on this doc
The Big Snooze (1957)
Don't Wake Up The Sleeping Bears!
Pros: Pre-Yogi Daws as a ranger; haven't watched a lot of CW shorts and this is one of the funniest
Cons: First review has it's good points
The Legend of Rockabye Point (1955)
The Ultimate Chilly Willy Cartoon
Pros: Glad it got an Oscar nomination; Avery as usual
Cons: Seen familiar Avery gags before, but that doesn't bother me
AniMat's Reviews (2010)
As a toonhead myself
Pros: Glad he reviewed "Escape from Tomorrow", loved "Thief and Cobbler" and "King and the Mockingbird" reviews
Cons: Some may find the voice annoying
Shattered Glass (2003)
"You're Supposed to Support Me"
Pros: The guys at Forbes were the good guys
Cons: I'm one of those guys that was glad Sarsgaard wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actor; very low-key film (even the jokes were flat); never liked Stephen Glass as a journalist; one line perfectly described this: "political, humorless and pissy".
American Crime Story (2016)
LA 94-95
Pros: Great acting (even from CG Jr. as Juice which was the creators' intention to begin with); fascinating to watch
Cons: OJ, who else?
Documentary Now! (2015)
Welcome to Documentary Now
Pros: Fav episodes are "The Eye Don't Lie" (a rare spoof of Errol Morris) and the two-parter "Mr. Runner Up" where Bill does his great take on Bill Evans; you can tell that they love their docs and so do I.
Cons: :/
1st & Ten (1984)
Hasn't aged well
Pros: The theme song is the only thing I can think of that actually had aged well even with cliched lyrics.
Cons: Juice, definitely 80s at it's cartoony worst ("The Boz", etc.)
Dear White People (2017)
I rather be a brother than a hater
Pros: Not shocking at all even as a white person; got the obvious racism from white students; glad I gave this show a chance.
Cons: Racism itself
Brows Held High: Pinocchio (2011)
Did You Steal the Salami?
Pros: Hilarious amount of hate from Kyle over this
Cons: As usual, the film itself
Brows Held High: What Is It? (2012)
What is Cinema According to Crispin Glover
Pros: Kyle reviewing this film and how it is an example of trolling
Cons: The film itself
LA 92 (2017)
THIS IS NOT FAIR
Pros: Amount of archival footage and audio; glimmer of hope at the end
Cons: LAPD should be rightfully guilty, but weren't
The Dover Boys at Pimento University or The Rivals of Roquefort Hall (1942)
Good Ol PU
Pros: What else can I say? The ensuing hilarity (especially on the YouTube collab)
Cons: (crickets chirping)
La La Land (2016)
As an autistic jazz fan
Pros: The entire soundtrack, the director's commentary, Emma's Oscar-winning role, John Legend being a voice of reason, didn't think Ryan's voice was that terrible (reminded me of Chet Baker), glad I gave it a second chance
Cons: The only thing that bugged me was Seb's snobiness (even when I first saw the film)
Get Out (2017)
I Don't Want Any Brother's Eyes
Pros: Got the obvious rich suburban white racism, the final ending in the film as opposed to the alternate I saw on Blu-ray, the "Jesse Owens" scene, glad Peele won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar
Cons: Not much
The Connection (1961)
Shirley Clarke's Jazz
Pros: Glad I saw this film on TCM, glad the film is preserved and restored, cool jazz music
Cons: Bleak portrait of NY junkies (I know, but how do you not feel sorry for these guys?)
30 for 30: Elway to Marino (2013)
It's Don Shula
Pros: One of my favorite lines in the film: Chris Berman talking about some football expert worrying about Marino at Miami when Boomer knows that he's okay with Don "The Perfect Season" Shula
Cons: None
Channel Criswell (2015)
Criswell
Pros: Great narrator with Welsh accent; awesome vids and analysis for each one
Cons: Not a fan of von Trier at all
Fahrenheit 451 (2018)
It's Safe to Say Books Are Here to Stay Even in the "Evil" Digital Times
Pros: Glad I watched it
Cons: When I see the buildings airing news, the one thing in mind is Blade Runner; reviews were more entertaining to read; obviously I haven't read the book or saw all of Truffaut's 1966 adaptation but I did managed to read the summary on a Cliff's Notes (call me a heretic if you must, I just prefer non-fiction); the scene from Matilda with the family watching a crappy game show made more sense than this.
Three Magic Words (1939)
Quality, Freshness and Rifftrax
Pros: Bought the non-live episode; the film itself (basically a ad for local Bostonian pork) is a hoot; Bill, Kevin and Mike at their finest; can't get the song out of my skull; favorite RT short
Cons: Zilch
Brows Held High (2011)
This Is Cinema?
Pros: The show itself; Kyle as host, accessibly smart; theme song for Rimsky-Korsakov fan; favorite episode is "Koyaanisquatsi" and as for the old BHH Roberto's "Pinocchio" ; good old cinematic exposure therapy (the show for reviewing films with lots of sex and violence as pity excuses for art (Lars von Trier being the worst example)
Cons: Recently watched old episodes that haven't been uploaded (some for good reasons)
