Idi i smotri (1985)
Masterpiece......uh..no.
If you know nothing of history, spent your life perusing Facebook, use nifty words like: problematic, diversity and appropriation. Yea, this movie may be a bit shocking. My advice: instead of erasing history because it offends, learn from it. Pick up a book.
Now the film itself... tediously long grimacing stares into the camera. Nonsensical dialogue, acting, editing, it is just awful. The atrocities of war? No, the atrocities of filmmaking.
But, its gritty....!
Yea, that comes along with having 37 rubles or whatever for a budget.
In all, sophomoric purile filmschool drivel. The only reason I gave it a 2? The cow, it gave its life for this steamy pile.......and was the only convincing performance.
Ancient Aliens (2009)
Used to be much better...but...
When it first started out, it had more of a documentary feel in the "Chariots of the Gods" vein. Full of wonder and questions. Which is why Im an alien geek, I get to wonder....stray away from the cut and dried of the ever so grinding world.
But, now, having to ponder more subjects, and more producton money, AA has shifted more to the fanciful and metaphysical, which is ok, its still entertaining, which that's what it's supposed to be, right? But, in the long run, may hurt the "mission" of the show, by watering down some of the compelling arguments presented. BTW, I am a believer.......
Nonetheless, its still a fun show, especially Georgio and David..
I guess it just remains to appeal to that little bit of childlike wonder the middle aged guys still possesses.
