The Harvesters (2000)
Possibly the stupidest movie of all time
OK, where to begin? The movie has the look of a Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints infomercial, the acting is sub-par at best, the love scene in the movie has both the characters still wearing underwear and kissing each other like they were kissing their grandmother, the assassins were possibly the worst shots ever in film history, they had a laser scope on their rifle and still missed him by at least 2 feet. The possibly most horrid thing about this movie is you could tell there was at least some money behind this production, and it still turned out so poor. This movie was part of a collection of 12 horror movies (and for that matter, what the hell was this movie doing in a horror collection?)for $20 CDN, and it still felt like the worst use of a $1.67 humanly possible. My friends and I have watched many uniformly awful movies for laughs (including such 'highlights' as The Crawlers and Don't Go in the Woods), and we still think 6 hours of Tabasco sauce enemas may be a better Sunday afternoon pass time than this steaming pile. Avoid like the Avian flu.
Nails (1979)
Interesting use of visuals
I was shown "Nails" in a film class and was really enthralled and enjoyed the experience.
The film is a short about the manufacturing of Nails. Yet it has no narration. It just shows the machines working and the nails being produced, with the sounds of the factory in the background. Simple.
But it's the strength of the shots that makes the film worth watching. The composition is the strength.
If you are interested in film as a purely visual medium try and find this. Although I'd have no idea where you should go look.
Vulgar (2000)
sick, twisted, awesome
I'll admit. I'm a view askew fan, but this may infact hinder my enjoyment of "Vulgar" rather than aid it.
Nope, there's no dick and fart jokes. Yep, there are view askew regulars like Jason Mewes, Ethan Suplee, Brian O'Halloran, and the man Kevin Smith himself. Nope, they aren't playing characters you've seen before.
Watch this movie with an open mind. There's more out there than the comedies that Kevin puts out with View Askew. That's not to say they are anymore or any less worth while.
Now that i've got that out of the way, I'll focus on the film itself. Even though the style was amateurish and a little flat certain key scenes where done so well that it is easy to forgive. The should-be classic rape scene is terrible and gutwrenching. I loved it.
Acting ranges from really good to really goofy, Brian O'halloran is really quite impressive as Flappy/Vulgar.
Try this movie only if it appeals to you, don't see it because your expecting some Jay and Silent Bob. You're not getting it.
