“Red Sonja” Movie Review
“Red Sonja” Plot Summary
The tyrant Gedren seeks the total power in a world of barbarism. She raids the city Hablac and kills… add synopsis
OK I admit I enjoyed it!!
Let’s just settle this before I start – this is a bad bad movie! You will be hard pressed to find such awful acting anywhere as Miss Nielsen, ‘veteran’ director Richard Fleischer stumbles blindly through a non-existant plot, and you will feel absolutely no sympathy for either the good guys or the bad – in other words you just won’t care!I would love to have hated this film – as a self-proclaimed ‘movie-buff’ this is the kind of film I should not even go near. But I’m loathed to admit…I enjoyed it! The two stars, amongst their awful acting, are actually quite engaging in a comedic way (intentional or not!). I began to relish the dialogue scenes just to see if a line could have been delivered with any more wood! The intentional comedy comes from a young prince (Ernie Reyes Jr) and his bodyguard (Paul Smith). Although I wished the prince to find the end of a sword as quickly as possible from his first scene, the interplay between these two characters was amusing, with some one-liners that could not have been more out of place in this film! The villainous queen (played by Sandahl Bergman) is unfortunately bland and forgettable. But one real treat for me was another completely out-of-place commodity – a great rousing score from maestro Ennio Morricone!This was Schwarzenegger’s return to his CONAN genre after hitting it big with THE TERMINATOR. It isn’t too surprising that this was the last ’swords and sorcery’ movie he did – but I promise you won’t hate it! You’ll want to!….but you won’t!

“Brazil” Movie Review
“Brazil” Plot Summary
A bureaucrat in a retro-future world tries to correct an administrative error and himself becomes an enemy of the state.
One of my favorite films of all time
This film is a treasure to me, so I’m really not sure how objectively I can talk about it. I also don’t know if there’s anything to be said that hasn’t already been said before. But whatever, I will just comment on some of the things that strike me particularly about the film.
First of all, it seems to me that at least cinematically dealing with a dystopia in a satirical or comedic way is far superior to doing so in a more straightforward manner. This film is far more interesting than ‘1984′ or any of the other films that have tried to capture a serious pessimistic view of future society.
I’ve always felt like the song ‘Brazil’ fit into the film very well — it suggests a kind of ridiculous Utopian or exotic romanticism, blown completely out of scale. There are several scenes in the film that visually portray this concept, such as the shot of the futuristic street which turns out to be only a tiny model which an old drunk with a Guinness is glaring at. Sam Lowry himself is a very dull person to begin with, as Jill Layton’s reaction to him indicates. He believes, at least in his conscious mind, that he doesn’t want any conflict or excitement in his life. ‘Not even dreams’ he says — but of course the truth we see is quite different, and it eventually unhinges his life and his mind. I think I’m not alone in sympathizing with this. Our lives can get so monotonous and so dreary, but we do convince ourselves that we’re happy. ‘It’s what you wanted, isn’t it?’ says Mr. Kurtzmann.
Some of my favorite bits — when Mr. Kurtzmann hits his hand on the table (‘what a pathetic creature I am!’), Harry Tuttle’s first appearance and his escape on the wire, the dinner scene where you have the explosion and then the waiters are setting up screens to block the diners’ view of the bloody mayhem.
Basically I think in this film what you have is a scary story about how dangerous it is in the modern world to be a dreamer. But rather than simply terrify us, Gilliam is giving us a chance to laugh at the existential absurdity of it all.
