Wave Twisters (2001)
better than bad, its good
I have never really liked dj music, or dance music either for that matter. But a friend of mine put this in, and I was hooked. DJ Qbert has a very unique style of using records that you normally wouldn't normally exspect to hear used by by a DJ. Think old space cereals on vinyl. Also, unlike other DJ's, He uses the bare minimum. A sampler playing a beat with a few sounds, and a record player. And with that minimalistic aproach, he creates the entire sound track of this movie, the dialouge, the back ground music, the sound fx, everything! The movie itself is a combinations of sci fi cliche's and obvious plays on classics such as star trek and star wars. But there is also that layer of the street mid 80's. The constant presents of things like Atari's, old arcade style games, grafiti, toys, and old school rap essentials give the movie a very unique almost indescribable feel. If you are in to really different and exsperimental movies, you should really check it out. But, I must worn you, you might end up with a few new cd's when its all over, because the music is very addictive...
The General (1926)
Silent But Deadly
This is the movie to see for those of you who have troble with slow pace and tedium of silent movies. This is an action packed thriller. Complete with an incredible actor, doing his own stunts decades befor Jackie Chan, and not to mention he wrote and directed this movie.
So, Johnny Greys just a regular old guy living in the south, running his train, "The General" , around the south in like the middle of the civil war. Some how or another the yankees steel the train and drive it off. well, Johnny wants his beloved train going in to enemy hands to he sets off after it. The meat of the movie is increble whil E Coyote stunts as Buster Keaton, as Johnny, trys to catch his train.
