Incredible Violence (2018)
"I Love Movies"
The meta-horror movie is almost as over-done as the found footage horror movie. Incredible Violence shows that there is still new angles to explore with meta and the result is a fun movie that stuck with me well after the movie was over.
The Good:
- The idea and the movie are funny. A director has to make a horror movie, doesn't have the money anymore so he decides to kill actors for real and deliver that to the people he owes. Easier said then done as the bumbling would-be Jason or Mike Myers finds that actors won't do what they're told, people don't die as easily as the movies say they do, and the clean up takes forever.
- There are two or three scenes that you can see how much fun the crew had making. It reminds me a newer day Tarantino because the joy of making it is palpable.
- Steven Oates is a star in the making. We don't see nearly enough of him as I would have liked. I was left wanting more and cannot wait to see this guy in other movies.
The Bad:
- A few performances are shaky. Dollar-store Jason Mamoa can't seem to make up his mind if he's a good guy or a creep. Might be a problem with the writing but it took me out of the movie whenever he was on screen.
- The low budget shows in a few of the effects shots. It doesn't ruin the movie, but, again, it took me out of it for a moment.
End conclusion is that this is a movie I'm glad I watched. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies so the levels of violence wasn't exactly a walk in the park for me but it was used sparingly and wasn't as in bad taste as the title would suggest. Show the kids!
Side note: I hope they make a sequel someday which is the making of this movie. Meta-in-meta-in-meta!!
Unlocking DaVinci's Code (2004)
This is a B documentary that has nothing to do with anything in the title
Don't waste your money or hope that you held on to you receipt cause this is just horrible. For the first 10 minutes Davinci's art is talked about, nothing groundbreaking, no unlocking of any codes, then for the rest of the documantary(40 Min's) they use the last supper and some secret club that Leo was apart of to be the transition about wither or not Jesus had any kids and if there was a holy grail and honest to god Davinci's name isn't mentioned again til the final comments by the host which goes something like this: 'well we've come along way from Leonardo Davinci to the lost scriptures of the holy testament. Did Davinci have secret knowledge about Jesus? We'll probably never know' The End. The END?! this has nothing to do with anything. the re-enactments are soooo dumb at one point there's this thing about a french priest being given money to make over his church back in the 1800's and he's handed American paper money! They show some ancient knights that were suppose to have unearthed the grail and they all had neatly trimmed beards, they showed 'middle eastern' men(one who's name was Mohammad Ali) digging up a vase in the desert but they were all old white dude's speaking English. This movie made me sad cause i spend money to watch it, which, because i bought it at walmart ill be able to get back, the hour of my life i spent watching it, however, is gone for good.
