Resident Evil (2022)
Woke race swapped diversity crap
More ridiculous woke trash being shoved down our throats by way of race swapping for the sake of inclusiveness vs sticking to the source material. Write new material for your black actors to star in vs treating them like a diversity commodity to check boxes. No wonder Netflix is burning.
New York Ninja (2021)
Incredible job by Vinegar Syndrome
Ignore the other review here. If you're a fan of 80's ninja films, and the grindhouse scene in general, you probably already know what you're looking for here. And let me tell you - it delivers in spades.
From the seedy NY back streets, The Warriors inspired knock off gang members, and the ninja motif - this movie just encapsulates the entire genre. Vinegar Syndrome did an absolutely outstanding job restoring this new classic; with an incredible and authentic sounding synthwave score, and absolutely on-the-money voice acting/dubbing --- it's simply a masterpiece of the genre. Period. It's hard to believe the voice acting, sound, and music weren't actually completed in 1984 - it's that good.
Hats off to the team responsible, and THANK YOU for restoring this masterpiece that sits proudly beside Samurai Cop, Dangerous Men, Miami Connection, and many many others as a primo so-bad-it's-good flick.
From Bedrooms to Billions: The Playstation Revolution (2020)
The best video game doc I've ever seen
After years of waiting, the team here has delivered what can only be described as a masterpiece in field of video game documentaries. Just simply a phenomenal, and intimate view into the industry during the 90's to the mid 2000's, featuring interviews from everyone of the era including Sony execs, engineers, devs, dozens of developers and development heads - and even Sega.
Truly everything I wanted from an industry documentary about the most important, and monumental generational shift in videogame history.
Thank you!
Pretending I'm a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story (2020)
Pure Magic
This is truly a magical 73 minutes and worthy of the long wait, and anticipation I've had for it. I wasn't sure what to expect, structurally, going in, I just knew my love for the game and the role it played in my growing up. So it's important to understand the focus of the documentary.
This doc is about the influence and impact of skateboarding (and it's culture) on the game's creation, and the subsequent impact of the game on the future of skateboarding and culture. This is not just a documentary about the history of the franchise that charts the rise and fall, details of development programming, the Robomodo games etc... This is all glossed over, but this is much more about how skateboarding, and Tony Hawk influenced a game, and how that game changed several landscapes for skateboarding, culture, and games to come.
It fully captured some magic here that truly speaks to my personal feelings when I think about THPS and it's impact in my gaming life, and life outside of the game. Watching it gave me goosebumps in a way I can't explain fully... They have put into video form some of the most nostalgic feelings of my late teens, and made me feel an era of my life in a way I haven't felt before... Kind of like when you smell the air on a certain day and you remember a time or place from your past.
This doc is a personal masterpiece for me.
