Movie Reviews of Eagle vs. Shark
Movie Review: Very Refreshing Movie! Makes You Want to visit New Zealand!
Summary: 5 Stars
PROS: > Nice break from the recent rash of Hollywood based "Napolean Dynomite-like faux indie rip offs" (Juno and Lil' Miss Sunshine excluded). This one is will remind you of Napolean Dynomite, but it still has a very original feel to it. In fact, in regard to the theme and content it is more of a grown up, euro version of Napolean Dynomite.
> Cinematography is beautiful! I wanted to buy plane tickets to New Zealand immediately after seeing this move.
> Funny bits.
CONS:
> The main plot is predictable, because you seen it all before a billion times since 1983 "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" introduced the "nerd/bully revenge theme". The romance bits and drama about life and family and growing up is where this movie excels!
> Some parts drag on a bit. And the humor gets muddled at times but I think its one of those movies that you can watch again and will definately laugh at parts you missed! Which is good for the DVD collectors.
Movie Review: Flight of the Dangerous Person
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered this little gem after getting into HBO's series Flight of the Conchords late after its initial run when I picked it up on DVD. I enjoyed everyone who was part of that cast and this film was great to have considering Conchords is over. It's not the same as Flight of the Conchords but if you liked that show's humor and subtlety you should enjoy this. It's a quiet little film, kind of a dark romantic comedy but it has a lot more cruel reality in it than the typical love story or comedy. Unfortunately this one doesn't appear in Blu-Ray format but has the 1.78:1 aspect ratio which is important if viewing on a flatscreen.Movie Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
wonderful if your a fan of indie art film and off the beaten path.. i could definately see why it was harder to watch if you arent a fan of the subtle odd humor...however i enjoy films where the quiet type is understood...the stop motion animation is great, as well as the soundtrack. id say if you enjoy films like napolean dynomite..punch drunk.. amelie and other love stories... odd relationships are the best..this one fits right in...i wish there were more movies like this...if you happen to know of them, please inform me..Movie Review: Worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I am one of those people that is a little burnt out on the awkward funny, pencil drawn graphic, oddball cast movies but this film completely reinvigorated the genre for me. I bought this a couple months ago and I think I've watched this movie a dozen times. I love it for some reason that is unknown to me. I also love New Zealand which is where this takes place so maybe that influences me a little. Great, great movie. It's funny and touching and has an interesting story - what more could you ask for?Movie Review: What Napoleon Dynamite should have been.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a surprise to me. It has the off beat humor of Little Miss Sunshine and the quirkiness of Napoleon Dynamite, but with more intelligence and substance. My problem with the new slew of off-beat and odd nerd film is the unnecessary seriousness they take their stories to be. This movie did it right with its clever jabs and solid characters that all you could do was rally for their love. Must see even if you are not a fan of all the other Indy nerd flicks. It is a gem of a film.
