The Movie:

Klown Forever, the second feature film spun off from the Danish TV series Klown, once again catches up with best friends Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen). Frank's life has become more domesticated in the last few years. His marriage to Mia (Mia Lyhne) has started to fray a bit now that they've got two young kids, while Casper refuses to grow up. Their book, however, is expected to be a hit. This makes it sting all the more when Casper surprisingly splits for Los Angeles without Frank. When Mia's parents move in to help with the kids, Frank takes this as his sign that he should head to the States to rekindle his friendship with Casper.

Of course, once Frank arrives, he finds out that Casper has rented out a fancy place in the Hollywood hills next door to Isla Fisher (playing herself). He's also moved on to a new best friend who he refers t...Read the entire review

The Movie:

One of the big selling points of the new dark comedy-drama Men & Chicken is the chance to see Mads Mikkelsen, a man best known to American viewers as a debonair psycho in the TV series Hannibal and the Bond flick Casino Royale, look and act like he's auditioning for a supporting part in Napoleon Dynamite. With fluffy permed hair, a cleft lip, and an outdated sense of fashion, Mikkelsen's character Elias immediately reads as a nerdy joke. Add to this h...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Film lovers, buffs, filmmakers, those of us who find a place beyond passion when it comes to cinema, who essentially turn it into a religion, a reason for existing, could only be truly understood by others like us. Forget about the regular people, I had my classmates from film school ask me questions like, "Why would you watch the same movie a hundred times?", or, "Will you shut the hell up about movies for two seconds!?". These were budding film students, and even they found me to be too intense (Who am I kidding? The correct tern would be "too geeky") for their tastes. Only those who are like us truly understand our dedicated and admittedly nutsy love of movies.

Maybe it's because I consider myself a part of this collective...Read the entire review

The Movie:

As I have stated on my Samurai Cop review, I urge you to read my description of Dangerous Men before making your minds up through just my star rating. As a big fan of "So bad it's good" movies, I have a two-tier rating system for the kinds of films that are inept and woefully unsuccessful at every level of filmmaking you can possibly imagine, but are incredibly entertaining to a niche audience because of those qualities.

Just like many other memorable "so bad it's good" classics in film history, Dangerous Men gets a considerably higher rating for weirdos like me who can't get enough of bizarre awfulness, but should be avoided at all cost by anyone e...Read the entire review

The Movie:

The debut feature film from Ukrainian filmmaker Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy is 2014's The Tribe (or Plemya in its native land), a challenging picture shot with a cast made up entirely of deaf actors. As such, the movie has no dialogue and is performed in Ukrainian sign language. This might seem gimmicky but once you get used to it this decision proves to be an interesting one, resulting in a film that is, to be blunt, quite a challenging picture.

The film revolves around a young man named Sergey (Grygoriy Fesenko) who is the new arrival at a remote boarding school that caters to deaf youth. It isn't long after his arrival that Sergey learns that there is essentially a criminal hierarchy to the school. The other students are frequently out robbing people on the trains, holding up pedestrians in town or forcing some of the girls into prostitution. It takes some tim...Read the entire review
