The little bear is soooooo cute and has more talent than all the other actors in this film put together. It was completely beyond me how this animal could be overlooked at the Academy Awards. Too bad that the bear has to share the screen with some other guys who don't even begin to touch his talent. It is impressive how the animal was able to do its performance despite all the amateurs around it. Thumbs up for the bear, who was the only living creature who knew what acting means (apart from some horses, fallow deer, a deer and maybe the owl and boas)! Thumbs down for everything else. And to evaluate the dialogues, I don't have enough thumbs to lower them, I would have to be the result of multiple generations inbred. Without the bear, it would be a 0 * film. If the bear had more and his sidekicks less screen time, it would be a 10 * film

The 25th Reich
(2012)
Looooooooot of padding
4 December 2019
They walk through the outback, talk about movies, walk through the outback and barely anything happens aside from walking through the outback and talking - for about 50 minutes! Late, almost too late, the plot becomes more interesting.
FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue
(1998 Video)
Sequelitis
13 November 2019
Of course, most sequels aren't as good as the first movie, but Fengully 2 is the worst sequel I've ever seen. Crysta, the most interesting Ferngully-charakter was demoted to extra, Pips became the main person, the songs are cheesy, the villains forgettable and the good humans even more.
Psycho Shark
(2009 Video)
The only redeeming quality is the fanservice.
7 November 2019
But aside from the bikinigirls who appear in this B-movie (pun intended), it's a bad film. The plot (if you can call this so) is confusing, they use lots of padding, sound quality is low and so is the picture in the "homemovie within a movie" scenes, which add more confusing elements.
Ghost Squad
(2018)
BY FAR Iguchi's most serious movie so far
2 November 2019
At first, he was director for porns.
Then, he was director for movies which are so weird that you have to ask: "Was it made on drugs?" I mean movies like Dead Sushi, Zombie Ass or Robo Geisha. But then came Ghost Squad and I'm impressed how improved Iguchi's work is. Sure, some widget moments here and there has this film, too, but it's far more serious than his previous works and some scenes are real heartwretching tearjerkers, which you wouldn't expect from this man who is known for crazy stuff like the aformentioned films.
As an Iguchi-fan, I'm accustomed to his narmy, absurdly, funny, silly and over-the-top "art", but here, he is able to show that he can make me not only laughing, but also dealing with more emotional topics.
I'm surprised. Should this be a great step for Iguchi's career as director or will he go back to Sukeban Boy?

A Talking Pony!?!
(2013)
3 reasons why you should avoid this movie:
29 October 2019
1) Way too many scenes show nothing but landscape.
2) A talking pony which does nothing for the plot (aside from its superfluous, terrible jokes).
3) The bad guy is so stupid that it hurts and so are the brothers of the heroine.
Paradise
(1982)
Once upon a time...
29 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
...someone filmed a chimpanzee and while he filmed it, the animal touched itself. He kept the camera running and thought: "Someday, I will use this material for a movie!" Then, a few years later, when he saw "The Blue Lagoon" (maybe drunken?), he decided: "That's it! Hope I can find the film with the ape I've recorded a few years ago." He found it, used it for "Paradise" and the rest is history... The end.
Issoshi Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako
(2010 Video)
Incredible boring
23 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There's barely any plot. The most time, you just see her sleeping. That's right, she's just sleeping, then she Interrupts her sleep for a few minutes, 'cause she wants to talk or eat or something, then she continues her sleep until the next short interruption after a loooooong time which feels like eternity. Etc., etc. Oh, and it runs OVER SEVEN HOURS!
