RiffTrax: Rollergator

 












                          Now when I said last review about taking a short break on movies, well I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when watching this funny and yet a monstrosity. I'll also give a better description I figured well I'm getting tired of some of the movies I've been watching, so I figured well I might take the time in the world to watch some of my favorite episodes from the greatest American television show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, but I'll also take a look at some of the RiffTrax films Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy spoofed that landed on YouTube for some reason. Well I don't know how to describe what I'm reviewing but other than stating that this was funny all the way through but I couldn't believe I was watching something that was nearly bad and horrible as Freddy Got Fingered, though granted I've never seen Freddy Got Fingered but I've heard a lot of stories of how bad the movie was and I'm just going to take their word for it. And before I go any further, I just want to state though how much I worship both Mike Bill and Kevin for showing me the world of Mystery Science theater 3000 I feel bad for those guys experiencing this movie. 
                          All I can honestly tell you is that it’s about a puppet alligator, Joe Estevez, a sort of Ninja on a skateboard, and one crazy LSD adventure.
                          As great of fans I am of both Mystery Science Theater 3000 and lately Rifftrax, I must say while watching this movie with the commentary, I was in a sense humored but felt really bad for Mike, Bill and Kevin for many reasons I really felt their own pain and suffering while sitting through this film. Even I was just bewildered moreover was starting to get a massive headache while watching the whole f**king film. Hell, even Mike and Bill quoted and said, "I'm calling it: this is THE worst movie we've ever done at RiffTrax. Ladies and gentlemen, ROLLERGATOR.", "ROLLERGATOR! There are no words -- no human words -- to describe it. So, I simply restate, ROLLERGATOR. I am sorry." I'm now putting foot down and stating this in my own words I do not believe that Joe Estevez and Martin Sheen are related, I just can't believe that for many reasons they're can be no possible way that these two can look at each other when it comes to Thanksgiving or Christmas and look in degust of how their film career is going moreover can take themselves serious as well. So, in closing because the more I talk about this movie I will probably get lost in my own rambling, I now see this as a competition with Freddy Got Fingered as the most abomination film ever, though without the Rifftrax commentary, so yeah so far I think that covers everything other than just stay away from this movie unless it contains the Rifftrax commentary for which it has on YouTube, but I would not recommend it, in all honesty.

July Recommendation: The Dig


 












                                  There are times when you need a few weeks off in some ways need a refreshers, and that's really what I've been kind of doing moreover I was having some troubles finding some good monthly recommendations as well, And luckily with a little help from my friends I actually found a movie that was really good furthermore worth the recommendation. The Dig, staring Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes as two individuals on the eve of World War II, uncovering a something beyond history in the making. Now there was another film on the runner up seat but in deep down sense I don't think up there with this film for many reasons it up holds in the acting range moreover I think gives a great message about living life through history and the people around you. So, enough talk for many reasons I don't want to over talk about a great movie I've just seen and give too much details.
                                 In the late 1930's, wealthy landowner Edith Pretty (Carey Mulligan) hires amateur archaeologist Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) to investigate the mounds on her property in England. He and his team discover a ship from the Dark Ages while digging up a burial ground. 
                                 Now I've been a lifelong Indiana Jones fan since my entire childhood, so this doesn't bother me when I say that this was the most realistic film about Archaeology though let’s be honest we all know the Indiana Jones film series is all fantasy. You can really take away both Mulligan and Fiennes performances and it would simply be just a simple English film. For which, is honestly true because I don't think I would of got into this film more if it wasn't for Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes because each of them deliver a tremendous performance of two people who for some purpose believe in each other that they would help one in another furthermore giving the people around them life lessons about the struggles and the difficulty life can give you when you’re not ready for them and really both of Fiennes and Mulligan should deserve some great Oscar recognition in next year’s Academy Awards although that's probably going to be left out because let’s face it the Awards are really a popularity contest. I will say Lily James does some great work in this film as well, and I personally think it would be unfair to leave her out for many reasons she's a great actress (probably one of my few favorites I like) moreover she does a great job playing the certain love story mix to the film and in all actuality is a nice touch especially when your involving certain elements like World War II for a great example. Hands down, this is one of the best films I've seen in the year 2021, and hopefully I hope you put this on your watchlist for Netflix.
