I gotta watch these. I tend to find pot movies entertaining (loved the first Cheech and Chong movie) and my German is decent. Next time I go to Germany I'll try to find them. Never heard of these films, so big thanks to you!Germany and humor = oxymoron, right?
I've caught another attempt thanks to a sequel it spawned.
Lammbock tells a story about two friends in pizza delivery business, but it's a cover, they deal pot inside those pizzas. Except that, nothing in their life works. In the sequel Lommbock they're reunited and of course nothing works again except the pot.
Both movies are decent, a bit silly, not very funny though, but still not a waste of time. In fact are so exotic they deserve being watched. If you find them, give them a chance. If not, don't worry, you didn't miss anything essential.
If you're sick of mainstream rubbish or are exotics collector, import them right now. Note that DVDs do not come with english subtitles which means googling for fan subs!
I hated it. That movie suggests it takes sociopath tendencies and leaving dead bodies behind to succeed in a small private business. In another words, completely misplaced - it needed to be about becoming CEO of a giant company to work for me.And apparently it was made by the same guy that wrote and directed Nightcrawler. I found Nightcrawler much much better. I absolutely loved that one.
The fourth movie, Journal 64… It's now streamed, Chien would say.The Keeper of Lost Causes
The Absent One
A Conspiracy of Faith
These three danish detective thrillers are based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels.
The first two are used basically to characterize main cast and are slightly above average products. Victims survive when it'd be better they die. Or accomplice dies so the movie doesn't have to address how the court dealt with it. Stuff like that, classic Hollywood. Or should I say - modern Hollywood? Dodging the hot potato.
But OMG the third movie. A Conspiracy of Faith strips down everything and everyone, proves what's supposed to be holy and valuable is most probably rotten, goes into phylosophical debates of highest quality on screen. It's not just the dialogue but also people's behavior and mindset. Not everything is shown and drawn, it's not Hollywood's movie for imbeciles and what's not shown nor said is unbelievably powerful. It will probably stick with you some time after you finish the movie. On top of it, the villain's reasons where and from whom to pick the prey and later dodging the police net without an error is absolutely brilliant.
I won't say you need to watch the first two titles. I did and these are nice work but don't expect anything special. Still, if you're fan of the genre, put them on. But.
A Conspiracy of Faith surprised me unexpectedly - it is a masterpiece. Watch it whenever you notice it somewhere. Make sure that happens before you die!
Note that the fourth movie with same leads based on the next book from the same writer, Journal 64, will be released later this year. I cannot wait to watch it.
Alita - Battle Angel. Good cyberpunk fun. Didn't like that it ends in the middle of the story, but other than that it was great. 8/10
Does this mean there will be a part two ?
What about anyone volunteering to serve in, let's pick a random country, China military?They should really show this film to anyone volunteering to serve in the US military.
We'll see how it goes in China..
Yeah, that was pretty good.If you're searching for an outstanding horror among shovelware, don't miss the creepy Aterrados.
