Blood Prism (2017)
I get it
I will credit this movie with being an interesting composition. If you watch R. O. T. O. R. Or Terror at Tenkiller enough times you see what the filmmakers are aiming at, and the director and lead actress really do have a something that they are going for.
I would be a liar if I said I did not enjoy the scenes that are only appropriate for adults. I'm human, all too human.
On the whole, I found myself walking alongside this story and getting the point.
Green Room (2015)
I didn't expect that...
I guess congratulations are in order for Jeremy Saulnier, having written a movie where I root for the neo-Nazis as much as I root for the "protagonists".
If it is possible to love a movie where one hates both the protagonist and villain equally, well, this one has managed that feat.
It is a brilliant movie, and I loved every second, but I didn't enjoy the movie at all. It is a special movie, for the right kind of viewer. It is like "The Wire", you don't care which side wins, no team's motivations make them better than the other's.
You just need to be prepared to watch this movie, knowing that all your expectations will be subverted, and then minimally redeemed at the last moment.
Space Cop (2016)
I was satisfied
I enjoyed this movie because of the lessons it teaches about telling a story on a tiny budget.
Mike, Rich, and Jay (along with the other members of the RLM team) focus most of their output talking about movies, about what makes them work and what makes the fall short.
Space Cop is very self-aware, and I don't think it can be viewed by itself as a standalone movie. In many ways, it is a meta-movie, designed to point out the elements that comprise storytelling on the screen.
It's not hilarious or beautiful or fascinating; it's something else, a secondary communication from the creators that brings together many of the ideas from Half In the Bag, Best of the Worst, and The Plinkett Reviews.
I enjoyed this movie, but I did lot of homework with RLM over the years to get the points they are making. I accept it for what it is.
