The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
If you read the book - Don't See The Movie!!!!!
Sometimes I write down a wish list to the movies I would like to see. Number one on the list was Dune by Frank Herbert. Second on the list would be Foundation by Issac Azimov. Third on the list was "The Guide" by Douglas Adams. As for Dune, the first movie that came out was a real letdown. The acting as very down, the storyline very loose as to the book, and otherwise a letdown for those that read the book. Fortunately, after a few years, some bright beanie came out with a miniseries that, in my opinion, did honor to the author. Well done rendition that actually had a resemblance to the book. My second choice, the Foundation, was not done, even though a rather cheeky rendition of I Robot did come out. To bad. However, to the nitty gritty. This movie, in the tradition of Dune, is actually worse than the original Dune. It was very soon into the movie that it was sadly so far from the book, that even I, an avid Sci-Fi fan just said sod-it. Bad affects, bad acting, no way did it come near to capturing the true tone of the book. Friends, Dune at least went from bad to better. Even though the TV series was rather shoddy, at least it sticked to the storyline that was meant by Adams. Instead of bad to better, this is a true example of bad to very bad to even more depressing than Marvin.
The Grey Zone (2001)
A true representation of the Final Solution
Most movies about WW2 and the Jewish Problem have been mostly watered down mushy hash-overs of Hollywood. For example, "The Escape from Sobivor", which left a very bad taste of over-dramatization. To much has been overdone on personification of the horror, that we really can't see the horror. When "Schindler's List" came out, finally a movie that has some base in "reality", more of the real world was shown, but still it focused on very certain personas, still to dramatized to fit in with the weirdness of the Jewish situation. So this movie is one of the true representations of what it was actually like to be in the very pits of hell. No over-dramatized pulp, no overacting, (and very Kosher, there is no "Ham" in this movie!) This is one movie that should be shown in History Classes everywhere!
The Fourth World War (2004)
Propaganda comes from both sides.
True to leftist propaganda, this movie takes the opportunity to paint everything black. I'd say that black is the color most sought out by end of worlders, false prophets, etc.etc.
As for the heart rendering pictures of the Palestinian girl, did anyone see the heart rendering pictures of Israeli children blown to bits by Arabs? Of course not. Like I said, propaganda comes from both sides.
As for the technical aspects of the movie, it is well written, and even though it is one-sided, it does leave something for thought. A good production, well worth the time invested watching. But be forewarned, it does get rather repetitious.
Other recommended leftist propaganda include 9/11. You know by whom.
