Interview with the Antichrist (2020)
A Powerhouse Faith-Based Drama - You won't regret it.
I haven't reviewed in 5 years, but had to with 'Interview'.
This is the best exploration of the workings and motivations of the Antichrist that I have ever seen. It is also the best study of the end times by any movie ever.
And what a showdown it turns out to be, for at its heart "Interview" is really an account of a fascinating, take-no-prisoners duel between two evenly matched opponents with diametrically contradictory goals: One for Christ, the other the exact opposite of Christ. Don't kid yourself. The Antichrist may be alive today with Covid-19 just the beginning of the end. Jesus spoke about this 'pestilence' that will be world-wide.
Every Christian needs to see this film as the other critics and posters have said.
A strong recommendation from me.
9/10
The House (2017)
Those Professional Movie Critics.....
The professional movie critics are already attacking 'The House' starring Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler.
I like Will Ferrell because his films no matter how ridiculous and raunchy they are, they have a morale behind them.
Last week, a brilliant poster mentioned how the majority of 'professional' movie critics are a cancer. I'm in complete agreement with this person. I also believe these movie critics are a cancer to all artists. And they're a cancer to the film industry.
TRUTH: Critics kill any joy of those who actually do something. Phil Collins said he was glad to retire because of the music critics. Kevin Durant said sports critics are killing the game. And James Cameron didn't direct for 10 years after Titanic because he was sick of movie critics bashing him.
Everyone knows the story of Herman Melville who died a broken man because the critics savaged his book, "Moby Dick". The book didn't sell well and Melville went bankrupt and spent his last years in a grocery store. True story.
Movie critics are not just a poison, they're very dangerous. I didn't watch Kevin Costner's 'The Postman' for YEARS because the movie critics said it was utterly horrible. However, after watching the film, I was shocked at how good the film was. I almost missed out on watching a great film because again I listened to these loser critics.
I almost didn't watch 'Hidden Figures' because another critic savaged the movie as 'unwatchable'.
What is going on?
Like the previous poster said, "Movie critics have never written, directed, acted, or produced a film in their entire lives. They're just losers who wish they could be filmmakers."
So this is the essence then of today's movie criticism. It's useless. Pointless. Fake News. One critic admitted he would never give Paramount good reviews because Paramount wouldn't read his script.
So what can we do about this? What can movie fans and those artists (and crew members) in the film industry do? FIGHT BACK. Let's 'out' these critics by name in public forums like 'Topix.com'; 'Ripoff.com' 'ComplaintsBoard.com' - the critics will see their name smeared on Page 1 of Google the same way they smear filmmakers. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
FIGHT BACK.
I give 'The House' a 7 out of 10. I like the originality and I like Will Ferrell as a comedian/actor.
City Lights (1931)
Chaplin is amazing!
Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" contains a blend of humor and humanity that make it memorable for everyone who watches it. Although made very much in the old-fashioned silent film tradition, much of it is timeless, too.
After a few minutes of slapstick at the beginning, Charlie's "little tramp" character makes two acquaintances. He meets a blind girl selling flowers, who mistakes him for a rich man, and the two become very fond of each other. Then he meets a real millionaire, who is drunk, depressed, and about to commit suicide. In a comic scene, the tramp persuades the millionaire not to go through with it, making himself a devoted friend.
The tramp soon learns that there is an operation that could give the girl her sight, and tries to think of some way he could help. His scenes with the girl and her grandmother are moving, while his determination to help lead him into some comic escapades - his attempt to win money in a boxing match being particularly funny, and one of Chaplin's best comic pieces. Meanwhile, when his millionaire friend is drunk, he dotes on the tramp, but when sober he forgets who the tramp is, leading to more amusing scenes and occasional trouble for Charlie.
All of the comedy leads up to a finale that is one of the best-remembered scenes in any film. "City Lights" shows the power of the camera in the hands of a master, who without words can move his audience or make them laugh. Anyone who appreciates good cinema should see it at least once.
