I ask myself while watching Picard,Star Trek Picard,if I could bring Gene Roddenberry back to watch it would he like it and after much time pondering I would have to stay absolutely not. There's not enough mouthwash in the world to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

I've never read any Lovecraft apparently it's difficult to translate his writing to film.From what I understand this film is an attempt to do that.From the rating it seems that it works for a lot of people but it doesn't really work from me.The production is given the silent film treatment trying to emulate German expressionist cinema of the 1920's,it tends to come across as a student film.The film is a series of multiple flashbacks which work against it..deplaning any sense of suspense or continuity.On the upside,the DVD extras include the making of the film and it's amazing how they pulled this all together on what is truly a shoestring,so I gave the film a 5 for effort.

This documentary presents itself and it's subject matter so seriously and so earnestly as to teeter on the edge of becoming self parody.The film is given an arty treatment with very stunning cinematography and subdued narration.The narration is rather oblique and clouds the theme, most likely in an attempt to keep you watching and asking yourself what the hell is this.The filmmakers sincerity at attempting to present these people in a sympathetic light doesn't really work it actually comes across like surreal dark humor.I think It's probably because bestiality is so far from the average persons experience.If you look at other touchy subjects like pedophilia as aberrant as it is the average person knows it exist.We've all heard about the Mexican girl and the donkey but know one really thinks that it happens, I don't think the the public is willing to accept people who have sex with animals and this film gives know real reason why anyone should.I give the filmmakers kudos for attempting this,even though the end result is jaw droopingly weird.I give the film a 7 because it gives Eraserhead and Visitor Q a run for there money.

I can't believe anyone would find this movie entertaining.This is hands down Edward Nortons worst performance.I guess he was doing the best he could with the script but his character was very one dimensional and wooden.His accent drifts from a faux Austrian inflection to a subtle British tone interspersed with his normal American voice it's truly awful .All that aside there is virtually no plot and you can't even enjoy the illusions because you as a viewer want to tell the audience in the film, who are all so astonished,you know how it's all done..It's not mirrors people it's call CGI.Yes CGI something that has been used to death in Hollywood.I think they should have kept the effects more organic but I don't think it could rise this production above fodder.Even if your a fan of Norton skip it.

Now I'm no PC Nazi but I think it's time that gay theme movies elevate themselves to aspire to at the least sub intelligent. This is basically the gay version of American Pie...without the laughs.There are a few but not enough to justify the plethora of negative stereotypes.I understand thats it's nice to see familiar characters when your watching a movies but the character in this film are completely stripped down to the basest level.The main Lesbian thespian is the worst and most annoying.this is also a world where everyone is gay or bi and everyone gets along have you been in a gay bar lately.Unlike Queer as folk the one good thing about this film is that straight people wont see it and get the impression that all gays are like this or are as shallow as these people.....

Come on now any movie released through "something Weird Video" Is bound to be,well Weird,And so this movie is..it's not just weird it's really really weird.This is what I've come to expect from SWV that's Why I watch these titles and love them so much.So I thought I'd write this comment to counter the negative remarks.Yes this movie is very low budget..with amateurish acting,directing and everything else.I think when you go into any SWV you have to do it with an open mind.Trust me there are a lot of these types of movies I can't stand,but if your a sicko like me and you might be interested in a movie about cross dressing,blackmail,lesbians,and dominatrix's check this one out......It's a hoot!

I remember watching the "Itchy and scratchy" segments on The Simpson's,And wondering how cool it would be to have a full length show based on the sick antics of cute cartoon characters.Well here's my answer.And it's not all that cool.The colorful segments of The Happy Tree Friends,have almost no plot.And what story there is is incredibly hackneyed.Trust me you've seen this all before.The thin story lines are just used as a vehicle to slaughter the characters in a multitude of gruesome ways.Kiddy cartoon snuff,which might be alright but this show just isn't that funny or interesting.If your like me and like sick,extreme stuff you might want to check this out but have low expectations.
