'Rediculous' Customer & Critic Reviews

[domino harvey]

I was mad
most of the movie you see some old guy talking and when he tired talking you will see chicks and i am not sure if they are naked.the movie dont make any sense at all and if you wanna see period movie stick with "Street trash" and if you looking for female nudity stick with Tinto Brass.

Utter Trash

This thread is here simply to contrast the positive vibe on this board and hopefully save the time and life of others who are fooled into believing that this is a great and sophisticated little movie.

I only wish this thread existed before this moloch of drudgery succeeded to spoil my evening and most gravely my happy countenance.

If we share similar tastes then you will do well to avoid this obvious and miserable mess.

I am only ashamed that this film is now bound to my psyche for eternity. The portion of memory it withholds, forever lost to plain and palpable atrocity.

An Amazon review of Immoral Tales that tells me a lot more about the author's personal hangups than it does anything useful about the film:

Excuse me but did the countess of bathory, that transevellian beauty queen, bathe in the blood of virgins or dry scrub in their pubic hair. ?Not erotic. I got sick and tierd of looking at big bushes. And it's untrue how blondes with thin blonde long hair are depicted. I know blondes with thin hair do not have a bush as shaggy as groucho marx. Particularly repellant is their furry asses ugh.Patriotich americans should be fleeing within the first half-hour as these foreign women just dont shave their armpits either.

[tenia]

Imagine : maybe without all the hair it would have been his all time favorite movie !

[sir_luke]

I never knew that about Groucho.

[A man stayed-put]

I never knew that about Groucho.

Indeed. Hugo Z. Hackenbush sounds more like someone who'd be getting rid of them.

Two for Catherine Breillat's The Sleeping Beauty:

1.0 out of 5 stars
Shoul be rated R
ByMeralee Stallingson March 24, 2014
Format: Amazon Instant Video
Within 10 minutes, there are naked girls swimming in a stream. That's European film making for you. That's as far as I got before turning it off. Not suitable for children.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Weird

A young girl grows up with different experiences in different places, and I did not like the experiences the movie maker chose...weird

At least she made it 10 minutes in! Some of her other reviews:

Didn't even last 1 minute in. Not my kind of show.

Actually, can I give this NO stars? 30 seconds in and I knew this was not for me.

Is it The Aristocrats?

Apparently The Battle of Algiers "isn't that entertaining", at least according to this guy:

The Battle of Algiers (1965), a black and white semi-documentary of what someone called the bloodiest revolution in modern history. I guess whoever said that never heard of the American Civil War.

Regardless, this is a pretty good example of filmmaking, despite the fact that it’s far too long at 2:03. There’s no character development whatever. It’s just an episodic telling of the years of 1954-62 in Algeria. It’s the story of France, who opposed the war to liberate Iraq by deposing Saddam Hussein, defending its colonial rule of a conquered people in Algeria, and the Muslim population fighting back.

I love the snide little sideswipe that I highlighted in bold. I wonder if he feels the same way about Iraq's "liberation" eleven years on?

[HerrSchreck]

Is it The Aristocrats?

No. The AristoCATS. That's the frightening thing.

[Michael Kerpan]

Really Deadwood (I believe).

You missed the best part, Michael:

Contrasted with the despicable French actions in Algeria, the U.S. is fighting to liberate Iraq and get out as fast as we can. No torture, and scrupulous adherence to the Geneva Convention.

[MichaelB]

Oh dear.

Apparently The Battle of Algiers "isn't that entertaining", at least according to this guy:

Taking aside some weird irrelevant and inexact a-posteriori comments, he does make a point on how the movie is a good entry point for those interested by the subject.
What's unfortunate is that he doesn't write about the movie enough, to the point it's hard to understand what he likes and dislikes to justify his 5 out of 10 grade.

After glancing through his other reviews, that seems to be a common problem with him. In his Exodus: Gods and Kings review, he feels it necessary to unequivocally point out that the Bible is fiction, yet also devotes a paragraph to lambast the "secularist" usage of BCE to denote the date instead of BC.

I saw that film, too. The filthy language some of those cunts in it were using was a fucking disgrace,.

This is all about The King's Speech, right?

Jeffrey Kauffman reviewing Woody Allen's Shadows and Fog on Blu-ray.com (my emphasis):

Allen and di Palma repeatedly reference Abstract Expressionist visual ideas, with deep chiarascuro lighting effects that deliberately evoke some of the most iconic motion pictures of an earlier era.

[Dr Amicus]

That sounds like the set up for a Woody one-liner...

[mizo]

My favorite part of the film was when Woody was talking about antisemitism to the large hovering shade of blue.

[domino harvey]

for a movie I've never heard of before this was very entertaining. A story with both a beginning and an ending. The middle was pretty good also!

Now I really want to see it! Those are the three things I look for in a movie.
