Married to desert

Even a bad horror movie can be worth watching. But that's it. For instance, a shitty western is a shitty western. The badness of Brett Bentman's The Bounty Men isn't even funny. Let's be thankful this piece of shit doesn't last more than 75 minutes. 

The Moon fell from the sky

In the hopes of altering tragedic events in the past, a 19th century professor, with a time machine he built, accidentally travels 800,000 years into the future. Up ahead, mankind still exists, but they also have their challenges. Based on the novel by H.G. Wells, one of its many adaptations. Kind of funny, but for the most part the potential of time travel was still largely ignored. Directed by Simon Wells, starring Guy Pearce, Sienna Guillory, Samantha Mumba and Jeremy Irons. 

Burning cotton fields

First thought was what were Pierce Brosnan and Tim Roth thinking? Renny Harlin's film The Misfits is a kind of attempt to make a modern thriller and spice it up with wild humor. And of course it fails at that. And everything else. 

Somebody needs a funeral

Reason to watch at least because of Gene Hackman's performance. But unfortunately, the reasons probably end there. This agent thriller has everything going for it, but the narrative is too sprawling and weak. Interestingly, films that are inspired by Arthur Penn's Target may be a lot better. Take Taken (2008) for example. 

Pedaling towards the sunset

 

The Guro District, Seoul, among the locals it is called Chinatown. There are gang wars between different groups over territory and trade. And the police are trying to keep the area under control. Yunsung Kang's The Outlaws is based on real events that occurred in 2007. It's rare for Korean film to disappoint in its entertainment, and this one is no exception. A slightly distorted and introverted sense of humor only made it better.

Making some kind of fruity juice

Conan O'Brien is an incredibly funny and intelligent person. This year he rightfully won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. And the show was - rightly so - funny and intelligent. Honor is shown by people like Will Ferrell, Sarah Silverman, Stephen Colbert, Will Forte (as Mark Twain), Tracy Morgan, Adam Sandler and David Letterman. 

Silencing the echoes of the past

Is the sole goal of this film to set new records in the number of bullets fired, punches and deaths? Because there's nothing worth mentioning in the story. They presumably think we applaud and bow in the face of carnage only. Brainless junk. 

How little we've grown

Seinfeld is a household item. It's something you need sometimes and you just pick it up and be entertained.  The show about nothing hasn't even properly introduced Newman (Wayne Kramer), J. Peterman (John O'Hurley) and David Putty (Patrick Warburton) in the ranks and it still is riotous as hell.  

Love holds a lot of rain

An electric ride of a thriller divided into six chapters. A serial killer is on the loose in Oregon, USA. It's terrible, but if things only were that simple. JT Mollner's Strange Darling is a brutal, but quite hilarious film in its entertainment. The plot twists are great and they happen unexpectedly. Something you haven't seen before.

No place in the Sun

A military man's wife dies in a tragic train accident. However some people think the whole thing was a carefully orchestrated assassination and the wife a random casualty. Makes a darkly humorous offbeat thriller of revenge and seemingly insignificant things having significant impacts. Amazing Danish cinema.
