Sicko, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Black Snake Moan

Sicko

What can I say besides the fact that I like Michael Moore’s work and
this is another stand-out doc.  I found the structure interesting…
easing us in to going to Cuba by taking us first through Canada, then
to Britain, then to France.

My only criticism is that I wish he had more interviewees as
articulate and insightful as Tony Benn, a former member of the British
Parliament.  He says “People in debt become hopeless, and hopeless
people don’t vote.”  I also see this as the reason for the lack of activism on the part of Americans recently. It seems we’re in a hopeless situation here.

Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.

All these years and I never saw this Troma film. Saw almost every
other Kauffman-helmed flic. Avoided this because from what I had
heard, it lacked the punch of the others. Well, they were right.
This is the most boring of all of Lloyd’s “films.” It’s stupid, base
and immature… it just ain’t stupid, base and immature enough. And
even though people see “The Toxic Avenger” as one of the ultimate
exercises in amateur b-moviedom…it is actually quite competent on
the directing side of things. Kabukiman looks like shite. And I’m
not talking just the cinematography… the art direction is
non-existent.

Our own Cybergosh with Mr. Kauffman. Sundance 2005

Not nearly sleazy enough. Although, only Kauffman would have a jokey
rape scene take place in Central Park- shot less than one year after the
infamous true life incident.

Black Snake Moan

The movie is exactly what I expected.  Nothing special at all.
BUT… do people realize that this is what everyone has been waiting
for since we first saw Ricci’s face 16 years ago in “Addam’s Family”?
It took 16 years and that’s the problem.  We all forgot how
significant this is.  THIS IS 90 MINUTES OF CHRISTINA RICCI (looking
the best she has in her life) NUDE, RUNNING AROUND IN HER DAISY DUKES, OR CHAINED UP IN HER UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!  So, it doesn’t matter if this film is good or bad or whatever.  It’s not about the film.

But actually… I don’t really like the film… it seems the 2nd act is missing. We don’t see her transformation. Seems the stockholm syndrome kicks in off screen. It would have been nice to explore that…. THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF THE FILM!!! This film sucks.

If you are not filling up… you are the opposite of hetro.
