What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004)
Hollywood will do ANYTHING to make money
Talking heads about quantum physics, reverse the film, swooshing noises, etc. doesn't make a movie. And of course, it breaks the rules about not acting with children.
I found it condescending, exactly the way religion is condescending, and politicians and doctors and professors and other members of the false hierarchies that we believe so strongly in, are condescending. Everything in this movie was under attack, EXCEPT the tedious know-all talking heads.
Alternative thinking for rich and dumb people.
This movie should be banned for not caring about human suffering and the gross inequities that Hollywood supports while pretending to care.
Oh and its boring as well.
Read Alan Watts, read Tao Te Ching. They had this stuff down a long time before Hollywood "discovered" the true nature of the universe - yes folks, its just energy, not matter.
Worse thing is, I borrowed the DVD from a good friend who thought this was great - what am I going to say to him? Aaaaargh! I think I will lie and save a friendship.
Swept from the Sea (1997)
Not that good, really.....
Acting? Not so hot, in fact quite poor. If you like Hollywood, you wont notice this. For the record, 'Mousehole' is pronounced locally as 'Mousall', not 'muzzle'. Accents were poor. Go to Cornwall if you don't believe me. Lots of continuity errors. Did I say the acting was poor? Over-acting, melodramatic stuff. Poorly made. How can all these reviews here like this movie? Lousy script too - did I watch the same movie? This thing is pretty much unwatchable - are you folks on prozac? This was like a bad silent movie. The melodramatic music/scenes in the early stages left us in no doubt as to the outcome. Not enough dialogue.
Lots wrong with this movie. Sorry.
