La tregua (1997)
Decent Film
I watched a copy of The Truce on VHS last night my mom bought it for like a doller some years ago at some video store that was going out of business. I poped it in because of my interest in films portraed during the world war two era. I figured since i saw the American actor from do the right thing (john turturro)on the cover, as the star actor that he was going to be portraying an native Italian, speaking English and i was right.Had john turturro been speaking Italian. At least to to his fellow italians this film would have been more memorable. I gave this film 3 stars for the part where it shows the Greek guy going back to his country first.And telling john turturro and the other italians that he was getting beter treatment because his country was in the united nations and that john turturro and his Italian people's had lost the war.The Greek Greek guy's character was entertaining. the story wasn't bad. I liked that map of all the direction that john turturro took. that they showed at the end. OK the Title. "The Truce" I can not pin point why this movie is called The Truce. I'm guessing because of the personall relationships john turturro has with people while he is trying to get back to italy. But it is not clear their is no clear "truce" portrayed. The part where he see's the German solder in munich and then the German soldier see's him and then the German soldier get's on his knee's and bow's to john turturro. Did that actually Happen? Anyway all i can say is i watched the whole thing.it's not that bad. it's not that good either.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
For Fan's of 300 and Gladiator
If you are a fan of movies like 300 and Gladiator then you you will like this.The story is good and the dialog is good.It dose kind of rip off Both Gladiator and 300.I can say there are a lot of other movies where i think that something didn't make sense or i thought that was stupid but i don't really ever think i thought that when i was watching Blood and Sand I was entertained all the way through.every time a new seen starts with this movie you know your gonna see either some action some nudity, something funny or a new part of the story that makes scene with the character.if your ever watching this and thinking i wonder when some action's gonna happen or some naked girls are gonna show up. it never fails.I rented Spartacus blood and sand disc 1 and Rome disc 1. Rome ended up taking a back seat to this i watched this entire series. where with The Rome series I threw in the towel somewhere toward the beginning of episode 5. Spartacus Blood and Sand and Rome are both Soap opera's But Blood and Sand is a focus on Action Violence and sex. I have to admit i was thinking about turning Blood and Sand off if the homosexuality got anymore detail. If you thought 300 was Gay. then you defiantly will turn Blood and Sand off.I just let it pass. because I was entertained by good characters and humor. it's soft core porn, a lot of Breasts. More then average male nudity. when someone slices someone and the Computer generated blood goes on the whole background .Come on, thats a visuall thats definitely gonna get fazed out I'm giving Blood and Sand 10 out of 10 star's because I always wanted to watch the next episode. And I see that Rome has a better rating than Blood and Sand. So I want to promote how entertaining this Series is.
The Manson Family (1997)
You don't Want to know
Drugs, Too Many Drugs, Going Absolutely Insane, Disturbing. Not recomemded for any setting after you have watched this movie you feel like the guy in "A clock work orange" like your sick from watching a movie. It's not A stupid movie it's just disturbing. I actually wish someone would have told me not to watch this movie. But I watched the whole thing. Do not watch this movie if you do not like disturbing images.I guess it's educational it influence's an anti drug use message.The Acting is Good convincing i sometimes think if the actors actually experimented with the drugs referenced in the movie. because there high seem's genuine. The acting is entertaining. the story is educational. But I can't recommend it If you want to watch it it's on you.
