Malarkey

In this one, animals speak in the voices of these two guys who I think must have had a long toke of some Malaysian Dragon kind of weed that knocked them into the state of ultimate unconsciousness with the ability to nothing more but dub characters in a cartoon. I personally kept watching this until the third episode involving cats, where I was expecting pretty much anything. Situational humor done by animals who have to deal with all the things you would never want to deal with… or shouldn’t. Sometimes it is interesting, every now and then it’s funny. It’s got character and mainly it is incredibly weird.

Isn’t it a bit obsolete to make a horror movie like this in this day and age?

Somebody drew inspiration from Tarantino, Ritchie and tried to turn all that excitement into some kind of home video. It looks very cheap and very bad.

If a B-list movie is good, it’s a great pleasure to watch it, or at least in my experience. For instance, this film starts out as a pretty decent B-list action quickie full of American rednecks, their stupid bullshit and wacky editing akin to that in Grindhouse. The only nice thing about this film is the kidnapped chick, whose eyes are the same color as her T-shirt, which you can’t fail to notice. However, in terms of the plot, get ready for two pretty big twists that would definitely kill a horse and for a single scene involving Machete, who if he wasn’t in this movie, nothing much would have happened, and on top of that it would have saved the budget of an already cheap film.

While watching this film, I didn’t really feel that I was watching a literally average film. For instance, the characters of the grandpa and of that guy that was supposed to help him seemed really wacky to me and it was actually thanks to them that I managed to stay awake during the movie. The plot might be a mixture of various situations and conditions that affect today’s society, but despite the screenwriting craziness, I realized at the end that I actually felt like watching the movie to the end and not for a moment did it ever occur to me that it should be any other way.

What’s great about No Escape is that it absolutely realistically portrays a situation that could occur at any time now in any shaky country, and it wouldn’t even have to be in Asia. You simply go there once in good will and all of the sudden you are public enemy number one without really knowing why. And what’s really cool about this film is that it’s trying to suggest why such a coup had occurred and how USA-led globalization affects the rest of the world. Obviously, nothing will change through a movie like this, but sometimes it’s good to watch a movie like this and think about the world for a while. On top of that, I was really surprised by Owen Wilson, who after a pretty long while made another appearance in a serious movie and convinced me once again of what a good actor he is.

Madame Bovary messed up her life through and through and we watch that today. A romantic book adaptationfilmed a thousand times and always the same. But I actually saw a few movies proving that it can be done in an original manner. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. And Mia Wasikowska can’t save the movie either.

If I had watched this movie when I was ten years old when I admired Belushi with the German shepherd dog Jerry Lee and Grodin for a change with the St. Bernard Beethoven, I would probably have been excited. Today, the movie is still nice thanks to these actors, but it will not knock my socks off and I won’t be watching it on repeat on a VHS tape, as was the case with other movies.

A sort of a more realistic description of the story told by the movie The Conjuring 2. I was worried that it would be treated in a boring manner, which is something the English sometimes manage to do with their dry attitude. But eventually, I was pleasantly surprised by the characters, as well as by the manner of storytelling with which you can really feel that it is much more genuine that whatever I had seen before. These were definitely two hours that weren’t boring at all. On the contrary, I really liked the civil attitude of all those connected to the story.

This is probably the only movie that would be banned in Alcatraz, if Alcatraz had still been in operation at that time.
