MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
uds3 Hey all you sadists - here's the film you've been waiting for! Rare opportunity to catch a couple of pretty young girls stripped to the waist and roped up to a wooden cross under threat of extreme pain from a maniacal religious freako wielding a nail-gun!Van Peebles steps down a rung with this "by the numbers" cop-after-the-mega-sicko tale that cannot possibly enrich the life of a solitary viewer. It's not even particularly interesting.Low budget, cliche'd caper to test the patience of the most undiscerning viewer. Pretty much straight-to-video little number that is as underwhelming as it is tasteless.Van Peebles and Remar were re-teamed in the equally unenthralling GUARDIAN.
PracticalMagic I am stumped... What can I say? Didn't we see this exact same role in the movie "The Prophecy". At least there was some good acting in that movie.. I can't say too many good things about this film. It looked like it was slapped together in a month. I did not buy the blonde girl's acting at all, and by the end.. I could have sworn I had just seen a porno. However, I was convinced by my friend that I shouldn't have expected much from a Mario Van Pebbles film. After all, he did do "Highlander 3". *shudders* However.. I must admit, it kept me watching, as most Mario Van Peebles movies tend to keep me doing. I think it has something to do with the cheeziness of the plots. The movie did not follow any police procedure. Three words: Witness Protection Program.
dead_m_a_n_walking A very beautiful movie, with a villain who you truly feel remorse for. (even more so then for the hero.) James Remar was heartfelt and breathtakingly dramatic in this tale of a tragic lost soul. Maybe it's because I'm a girl, but I think the violence was just right (unlike some other slasher movies), and every thing turned out ok in the end.
Falcon-51 "Blowback" is like every other bad cop movie ever made. First you have a homicide detective searching for the truth behind some bizarre murders. Second the detective is kicked off the case by the Chief of Police. Third the cop breaks department rules and tries to solve the case on his own anyway. Fourth someone the cop loves becomes the final target for the psychotic killer. The only difference in this film is the type of psycho. In this case it is some religious lunatic. To truly experience "Blowback" you take all the above mentioned elements remove any trace of good acting and take away anything unsuspected and you have this movie.Mario Van Peebles hasn't done anything halfway decent since "Posse" and it seems like such a waste. There is no reason for anyone to sit through this movie. If you are still not satisfied and want to see the film anyway make sure the kids are out of the room because there are two separate parts of the film which contain half naked women tied to crosses and being threatened with nail guns.
