I Origins (2014)
A movie "like they used to make 'em"!
Wow, and I mean WOW! I'm a believer (a Christian) and despite there being plenty of reasons for me to close my mind and not finish watching this movie, I never did. And thank God! What an ending! The movie is well put together, holds you until the last scene with honest-to-goodness interest in how the story turns out. That's rare these days. Whether you are a "believer" or not this movie is entertaining, compelling and most of all, plausible. I would NEVER include spoilers in a movie like this, that would be sacrilegious. Just watch and enjoy. Makes a great date movie or a good "Saturday morning before you get out of bed" flick.
Most the negative reviews seem to be very vitriolic. You can't "hate" a movie this much. Something tells me its more about the outcome and how it might have struck an emotional chord. Otherwise, there is no reason to write such hateful reviews.
Cant wait to check out other movies by this director. Guy knows what he's doing!
The War on Kids (2009)
How old was the person who made this film?
First off, this is NOT a documentary. This is just another political hit piece masquerading as a "100% truthful" documentary. Michael Moore has RUINED the documentary genre with his BS docs. I was very interested in seeing the movie as the description of its contents are a real issue. Schools have become mini prisons. But this Doc makes it sound like conservative forces are ruining schools! WHAT?! For the past 25 years public schools have become more and more progressive (led by progressive unions). But the film constantly uses 1950s public service commercials to somehow "explain" the reasons for all the bad policies in the current school environment. The director of this film cannot figure out what to really complain about either. There is absolutely no one in this film that gives any positive alternatives to the so called mess schools are in. Its just one complaint session after the next. Also, they seemed to find the biggest punks in school to complain about why "school sucks man!". Gimmie a break! Whats really dangerous about a film like this is that it is target audience is kids! I saw it on a cable station (Pivot) who's target audience is millennials and current teens. This is the kind of film we find in the next school shooters DVD player AFTER hes gone on his rampage. Sad, we wonder why kids do the things they do now-a-days. Maybe we should stop giving the immature adults in this world who make pathetic hate-filled movies like this a spotlight.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001)
Scooby-Doo rip off!
It appears this show is centered towards younger viewers. The stories, acting and direction of every episode is very juvenile. The stories and the "quest to find the killer" isn't that much different than those episodes of Scooby-Doobie-Doooooo! The main tow in this Law and Order series are just too smart for their own good, even when the subject matter is so far out of the mainstream 99 percent of the population doesn't even know it exists! Somehow that doesn't matter, a crime is a crime. These 2 know exactly where the evidence is and the villains cant wait to give themselves up! Don't waste your time with these shows. Not only are they ridiculous, they are extremely bias. Christians are terrorist, whites are constantly trying to kill blacks and have secret societies all over the country (and all whites know about it and stay silent). Save yourself the hour and fly a kite instead. Bread making would probably be more entertaining.
