I not only saw it, I have it on DVD. I really liked how they combined the Trial Before Pilate with the Temptaion- in which The Governor offers Joshua all the resources to do whatever good he wanted if he only agreed to work for him. Also, when Joshua dies & his spirit goes into the ground, all the spirits rise from the netherworld into the Light Above. And The Reverend witnesses it all, realizing that he just had Messiah killed.
Jake Speed, probably the epitome of “a great premise that suffers from mediocre-to-poor execution.” Basically, the premise is that all those pulp heroes (e.g. Doc Savage, the Executioner, Remo Williams) are all real; the film’s heroine has to settle for Jake Speed, who’s not exactly top-drawer. His sidekick (“Where did you guys meet?” “Volume 1”) follows him around, taking notes, snapping pics that end up on the cover of the books. If Hollywood wants to remake this, I wouldn’t mind.
Get Crazy. A New Year’s Eve concert with various rock archetypes, with sabotage in the background. Only notable really for Malcolm McDowell playing a Jagger-esque rock icon named Reggie Wanker. :dubious:
A Town Called Panic: Imagine if Toy Story had been directed by a Frenchman, using stop action photography and a $50,000 budget and you sort of get the idea of what it was like.
…in a curate’s egg kind of way.
