Movie Reviews of The Future Is Unwritten
Movie Review: Documentaries for dummies.
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm sick of documentaries being directed towards people with no attention span. The order of the day is a hodge-podge of fast cut scenes, music 3 times louder than a speakers voice, and random cartoon/movie clips. This doc flies past topics so quickly that it leaves you screaming, "wait, go back to that!", or they'll spend too much time on a trivia fact that will leave you screaming, "who cares?!"
There's some cool stuff to see here, you'll find out some things but overall you can skip it. I love The Clash, their music and their message, but Joe doesn't need to be hero-worshiped, the music speaks for itself. Skip this and listen to some old albums instead.
Movie Review: SUCKS: Aimless, wandering documentary with very little on Joe
Summary: 1 Stars
Having been a big fan of the Clash, I was excited to finally see a documentary about the Great Joe Strummer. However, this documentary is NOT it. This documentary is filled with nonsense video imagery that has nothing to do with Joe Strummer. It's like watching an old episode of the classic ABC Saturday morning TV show, "Make a Wish", where they talk about a subject and show lots of cutting room visuals that meander in and out to follow the narration. This documentary consists of Joe's friends sitting in front of a cmmpfire and talking about Joe, while scrap film from the cutting room floor is used to "illustrate" their comments. If they talk about Joe being born in Turkey, the film shows some old footage of Turkey; they mention one of Joes friends named Woody, and then they show footage of Woody Guthrie. WTF??? Absolutely one of worst documentaries ever made. This is not a documentary on Joe Sturmmer; it's some bloke's art film project. If you want to see a great documentary about Joe and the Clash, see Westway to the World, not this P.O.S.!Movie Review: This wasnt born so much as it fell out
Summary: 1 Stars
This plays more like somebody passed a video camera around at a wake. All the excellent concert footage was talked over by someone saying something that mattered to only two people, Joe and who ever was talking. Nothing new was revealed if you were already a fan. This was an hour plus of Joe Strummers friends giving him verbal fellatio.
