Disaster Movie (2008)
Friedberg and Seltzer are genuinely worthless
I watched this movie last night after hearing about how bad it is. Let me just say, this movie is so awful that no words could adequately express it. It is truly something that must be experienced.
This "movie" is more like a collection of unfunny, dated, misogynistic references tacked together. In the one hour and twenty seven minutes, and I quite literally sat and watched without even coming close to laughing. I have genuinely had more laughs at a funeral.
The references in this movie are dated and unfunny, mocking such movies as "Juno", "Enchanted", and "No country for old men". It was sad to see, because it reminded me that I could be watching a better movie.
The jokes are flatter than a sheet of paper, the acting is unforgivably bad, the movie is the ugliest and most cheaply shot thing I have ever seen, and it was written by two wannabe frat boys who would rather show off attractive women and joke about Amy Winehouse belching that make something worth remembering.
If.... (1968)
"My face is a never ending source of wonder to me."
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
Lindsay Anderson's "If...." is an absolute masterpiece. I always joke that if "A Clockwork Orange" didn't exist, this would be my favorite film of all time.
There is something incredibly ethereal and indescribable about the feeling this movie gives me. As someone who was always rebellious and angsty about authority and school, something about this movie always spoke to me. It's a story that explores violence, free will, rebellion, love, homosexuality, and individualism.
Malcolm McDowell does an amazing job portraying Mick Travis, a rebellious and jaded collegiate who wants nothing more than to be free, chaos and rules be damned. McDowell has always been my favorite actor and the best part of every film he's in.
Ever since I first saw the coffee shop scene, I have always thought Christine Noonan, or "The Girl" has a sort of mysterious and ethereal beauty to her, made all the more fascinating by the fact that very little is known about her. She is a beautiful figure of rebellion, full of mystique just like her character in the film.
I ultimately cannot say much about it, besides that it genuinely changed my life. I would put it alongside "The Wizard of Oz" and "A Clockwork Orange" as films that irreversibly changed myself and the way I look at art, and inspired my desire for a career in film.
