Portrait of God (2001)
Cheap and uninformative
We saw this movie in religion class, and there was a wide agreement that this was not something one would want to see again. This is just painfully boring to watch. Carlsen asks different people in South Africa about their religious thoughts, especially God, and who he/she is. 'Who is God' is a repeated so many times, you would not ask anyone about it after having watched the movie. Carlsen enters the role as a religious outsider; he asks people without having made up his mind first. That seems OK, but it just does not give you a reason to watch the movie. Some of the prisoners in the South African prison that is visited has some interesting thoughts, but Carlsen's way of interviewing is just too boring. Unless you have a strong urge to see a movie dealing with religion and how people are affected by it (even though the movie only briefly manages to tell us that), you should stay clear of this one.
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)
Though guy Stallone can't handle his mom
Well, he probably can, but she dominates him alot in this movie. Stallone has to handle his special mom when she visits. Stallone acts rather different from the Rambo and Rocky movies (haven't seen Rocky, bu have heard they contain not much more than Rambo). But I think he gets it just fine. Her special habits (washing, bragging with baby pictures of Stallone, etc.) is of course somewhat annoying for Stallone, but in my opinion hilarious. It can get a little to much tough, but the movie deserves my 8. Some scenes in the movie is really well done, and the humour in it is not necessarely obvious at first but once you get it you'll laugh. I know I'm speaking "on the edge of the crowd" now (seeing how this movie got among the bottom rated), but this movie really is funny.
