I wanted to watch this film, because I got the impression this might be a critique about feminism, bonus was that this is a (very loose) adaption of Alice in Wonderland, which goes well with my previous film, alas it's really none of these. Nope, it's just a surreal French art-house flick about a girls journey into puberty, which is fairly obvious, the battle of the sexes, the unicorn, the symbolism...

Richard Marquand’s “The Legacy” (1979) opens sweetly, with a couple in love (future couple Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross) and a gentle ballad, masking how truly insane the movie gets.

One of the most spiritually jewish, if not the most, movies to ever exist

We’ve always heard the Dark Ages were a miserable time, but according to the world of Monty Python, where Frenchmen incomprehensibly launch livestock, losing a limb is merely a flesh wound, and nice...
3.7 Stars A period piece with a very narrow narrative focus. It chronicles the fortunes and misfortunes of one man. Quick fortune and Misfortune come readily to Barry Lyndon, who's character quickly goes from a naive young man to a life long gambling opportunist. A narrator which is present throughout the film will remark that Barry has changed after some portion of his life, but Barry rarely shows...
A funny g rated western about three mischievous orphans, two bumbling gangsters, and a starcrossed gambler and tomboy stagecoach woman. Lots of hijynx and family safe laughs ok for young and old alike. Granted most younger audiences today don't watch westerns
Definitely not kid friendly, This movie is bonkers imagine wacky racers meets a old grind house flick. Then have Roger Corman produce it. All the drivers are tongue in cheek exaggerated characters as are their death machine race cars. They are pretty much road gladiators a roman style one, a cowgirl, a neo Nazi, a Chicago gangster, and America's mysterious hero Mr. Frankenstein, this movie is gratuitous...
4.1 Stars An adventure film with serious themes, stakes and consequences, yet a jestful mood thanks to the two jack-of-all-trades, enterprising protagonists played by Sean Connery and Micheal Caine. The film is set up as a tragedy from the first scene where Micheal Caine's character appears, which makes parts a bit predictable, even if you are unfamiliar with the text, but the film is definitely worth...
4.1 Stars One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is probably one of the best cautionary tale films out there. I think its biggest strengths are how real the interpersonal interactions between characters feel and it's exploration of unpredictable consequences as the main characters actions giving him unexpected negative and positive feedback in his unfamiliar and restrictive environment. Even though I would...
Joe Alves’ “Jaws 3-D” arrived a year after the shockingly successful “Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D,” which led a fleet of 3-D B-movies that kept the format alive for about a year before an extended...
The Eiger Sanction is a movie that I like to tell people is as close as you can get to a live-action version of The Venture Brothers. If that doesn’t sell you on it, then I don’t know...
