The Departed (2006)
America filling her cup
Yesterday I've seen a Nicholas Cage movie where after a lot of tension, he ends up in a... wicker cage - no pun intended - and... dies. Now this movie... America, what's happening? Listen, I'm Romanian and I keep blasting from the mike in a radio station where I work that Romanian movies suck because most of them lack morals and happy endings. The result is - people are despondent and try to get the heck out of Romania (even though we're all A LOT better off than when the dictator Ceaushescu lived). Movies and art in general should give people hope and a moral answer to the problems of life. Don't be deceived: the human intellect is becoming what it's feeding upon. You cannot watch something dirty and remain untainted, clean and pure! It seems to me that mindless, irresponsible individuals literally sell their souls to the devil in order to spread the moral decay and stupid pride that has been the fall of ALL the empires of the world. Which brings me to the title I gave these lines. America is filling her cup. God is looking at his watch. One day He'll say: "Well, nothing good is ever going to come out of this one." And the credits will roll as in a movie. I admire the great achievements of the American people, but you guys should get up and say: "We are a Christian people. Here: It's written on the dollar bill. Let's show Mr. Scorsese that he has got to earn these bills by cleaning up the foul language, the blood and the repulsive subjects he drools over!" Guys, I love America, but it's painful to see that her people are getting away from God as time goes by. Here in Romania they want the Orthodox Church be the first and last of our beliefs. Yeah, yeah, we have rights... but they put icons in schools and they want Protestants such as myself to feel it's OK... well, it's not OK! No religion in schools! Why don't they kick Darwin with his theory of evolution from schools, since they are so Christianly-oriented? I mean we were created after God's own image, right? Or... we evolved? This ought to be a dilemma... If God let us EVOLVE into His own image, why doesn't the Bible state this? Anyway, if we get back to our horror of a movie, it seems Hollywood thinks happy endings are obsolete. "We must give the people's minds something new to feed upon. WHAT IF I just die? What if the order of things is: YOU CAN'T WIN?" Sounds familiar? What keeps the people from killing themselves... "but that the dread of something after death..." as the Scorsese of the late 16th and early 17th century put it?
Who needs this kind of "food", people? Can you put it in front of your children? It's not good for their mind? What makes YOUR mind impermeable to violence, foul language and pornography? Pray remember: we do not teach our children and others what we know. We ultimately teach them what we are.

Legion of the Dead (2005)
A Horrible Kitsch
A real shame of a movie. Spiritless and full of clichés. What really got me angry was the inconsistency of the soldiers' ability to fight. They acted like powerless zombies when they fought the good guys, but pulled the backbone of some victims in one firm jerk! I mean, c'mon! It's the kind of movie you cannot watch even for laughs. Well, I did. And that only because I kept waiting for something to happen. It was so lame I could throw up. Even if you are a horror movies fan - trust me, this is an outrageous kitsch. It's the type of production that one does for money only, not because one has a real story or a genuinely artistic view to a story. It looks like five-year old kids playing in the backyard - although this remark may be offensive to the intellect of any five-year-old, or two-year-old for that matter! Omaldy.
