Der goldene Handschuh (2019)
But why?
This film is definitely disgusting and disturbing. I wouldn't call this a problem, by any means. The problem occurs, when you fail to see any point to it's disturbing/disgusting nature. It all seems to be pure shock value, which would have been fine in campy low-budget flick with no artistic pretense. But this film tries to fool you into thinking it is actually art. Yet, when you scratch the mixture of blood, schnapps, fecal matter, and sexual inadequacy that is the surface of this work, you don't find any substance.
All that being said, the acting and cinematography are brilliant.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
Worthless
This film goes to proof how a movie about killing, torturing and mutilating people in fact can be boring when there are no brains behind it. Graphic descriptions and exaggerated sickness is far from enough for a horror to be scary. This movie constantly tries to convince me that I am scared and repulsed by repeating how sick and disturbing it is. But I do not want a movie to tell me I am disturbed, I want to feel it myself. This is another example of how sometimes the attempt to make the story seem real actually has the opposite effect – it is so unrealistically exaggerated that you start doubting in everything it claims. Mockumentary worked for The Blair Witch Project and Rec (of course the Spanish one) but it's getting really old and obviously does not always have the desired effect. I was constantly asking myself what is the point of this picture? Is it to make me aware that there are a lot of serial killers in the USA? Is it to show me how to make a homemade snuff or that if I plan carefully and change my M.O., I can kill as long as I want? I can tolerate pure entertainment if it is nicely done. This movie is not and therefore is completely worthless.
A Dirty Shame (2004)
A dirty shame indeed!
Everyone who took part in this movie should be ashamed.Even actors who I actually like have totally collapsed before my eyes.Seeking any deep meaning and symbolism in this movie is just absurd.It completely lacks any originality.Istead there is some kind of redneckish humour in which there can't be any allegory - it is what it is - incredibly flat and superficial.I love sex jokes but they should at least be funny,not just a line of dirty words and gross images of horny old people.I voted with one star just because there is no option to vote with half or less,but this movie doesn't deserve even that much (well,maybe for the music,but that is quite merciful).Seriously,one of the worst movies ever made.
Batman Begins (2005)
The worst Batman movie so far
Actually this is not exactly true - this cannot be the worst Batman movie simply because it has nothing to do with the others.It is like completely new 'beginning' of a completely different story line of a completely unknown hero,who shamelessly has stolen the name and the costume of the one we know.This story of a fake Batman,unfortunately is not saved neither by the great cast,nor the cool effects(I wouldn't even begin to talk about Gotham city - devoid of all its atmosphere).
If you're a fan of Batman and Batman Returns (my personal ultimate favourites) as well as the comic book this movie is a complete sacrilege!
