Kill the Moonlight (1994)
Things Are Gonna Change, I Can Feel It
I'm dropping in to provide a quick correction to something in a previous poster's review.
Beck was not in a band called Loser with Kill the Moonlight's director Steve Hanft.
As mentioned in the trivia section, Beck's hit song "Loser" featured an audio clip from Kill the Moonlight ("I'm a driver. I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it").
Hanft would go on to direct several of Beck's music videos over the years, including the video for the aforementioned "Loser."
Several clips of the Kill the Moonlight film are featured in the "Loser" music video and, as that previous reviewer mentioned, there are a few Beck tracks on the Kill the Moonlight soundtrack.
"Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the cheeze whiz)"
"Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?"
"(Drive-by body pierce)"
"Yo, bring it on down"
"Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you)"
"Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?"
Welcome to Wrexham: Wide World of Wales (2022)
Ignore the Low Rating, This Was Great!
Ignore the low rating. This is a funny episode that deserves more than its current 6.6. I've a feeling the low rating comes from those who are annoyed it doesn't solely focus on the Wrexham team and townsfolk.
Some of the bits here are hilarious and give the fans of both actors a taste of what a comedy show or film with the two of them would be like. I hope we see that one day, but I digress.
In this episode there's an extremely brief history of Wales; some mild
poking fun at the Wrexham team, the Welsh language, and especially at the two team co-owners themselves; and ending with the Welsh National Anthem sung by the beautiful and talented Charlotte Church.
Anyone expecting Welcome to Wrexham to be a completely serious documentary series from start to finish obviously doesn't know Rob and Ryan's humor. Perhaps some viewers were disappointed that this is a full episode with the two actors throughout. Yes, Wrexham is the main focus of the series overall but did some of you really expect Rob and Ryan to take a backseat to the town and team the entire time? If so, that's on you and your own misguided expectations. I'm sure there are many of us who wanted to see the team, the town, and the actors!
Anyway, this episode had me in stitches and, if you're into Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's sense of humor at all, you'll likely love it as much as I did. Great show!
Jackrabbit (2015)
A Surprisingly Good Dystopian Indie Film
Jackrabbit is a surprisingly good low-budget dystopian Indie. Based on the current score, I was expecting a terrible film; after viewing it, I'm unsure if the majority of raters watched the same movie as I did.
It has good cinematography, a fitting minimal Carpenter-esque score, a decent premise and finale, all sorts of cool retro gear and computer tech, some awesome throwback Sci-Fi visuals, colorful characters and decent acting, great locations, and a couple of really good special effects.
Now, the film isn't perfect by any means. There are some pacing issues and a few head-scratching moments that could've been better executed with a bigger budget. And despite the aforementioned decent acting, there are a few rough moments from certain actors. But overall - and especially for such a low-budget project - Jackrabbit is exceptionally well done.
That this film received such a poor audience response is the real head-scratcher.
Dave: Bar Mitzvah (2021)
Solid Episode
Up until episode 5, the second season of DAVE has been pretty clunky with a dearth of high points, an unlikeable lead, and a strange change in tone from the previous season that just hasn't worked for me. Enter episode 5, "Bar Mitzvah." This had it all: drama and tension with nice character arcs for Dave and Elz, some genuine laughs, and a GaTa rap solo that has the character getting his well-earned dues to close it out. This one plastered a big smile on my face that lasted long past the end credits. "Bar Mitzvah" is the best episode of season 2 so far - by far.
A Leaf of Faith (2018)
Kratom vs. Opioids
What's irresponsible is WVfilmfem's review. This kind of ignorance is exactly why Mr. Bell felt the need to make this documentary. People need to use their brains. Everything in the world has its downsides; whether it's drugs, food, sex, there are negatives. Yes, kratom has withdrawals. But, despite what recent media reports and trigger-happy hypocrites have been trying to dump on Kratom in the past few years, Kratom use does not lead to harsh addictions and death. There are certain vendors online who have been caught mixing opioids into the kratom they sell, and this has been linked to a handful of deaths. But kratom itself? Not one death has been linked solely to kratom. It can cause withdrawals in people who go overboard with taking it, but compared to heroin and prescription painkillers like Percocet and Vicodin, that's a small price to pay. And when you compare kratom to the legal drug alcohol, it's no contest. Alcohol causes hundreds of thousands of deaths a year, and yet the FDA, DEA, and IMDB users like WVfilmfem want to attack Kratom? Give me a break. Wake up people. As another user said in their review: educate yourself.
Great documentary, Mr. Bell. Thank you for an honest film that sheds some reality on the Kratom discussion. I pray this documentary will help others out there to see the light; if Kratom becomes a Schedule I. drug, there will be a lot of deaths on the hands of the FDA, DEA, and ignorant Americans.
