The greatest movie ever made..!
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreFaces of Death: Fact or Fiction? (1999)* 1/2 (out of 4) Rather stupid and disappointing "interview" with FACES OF DEATH creator Conan le Cilaire who has his identity hidden and his voice altered because he claims there are people still after him. A fake reporter begins to ask him questions about what parts of the series were real and which ones were fake.This could have made for an excellent documentary but sadly it's just more pathetic lies and in the end a rip-off for fans. While the "creator" does talk about the monkey brain and puppy sequences were fake, he also doesn't talk about so many other things in the series. This was being sold as a definitive behind-the-scenes look at the series and its history but sadly it's just a fake interview that doesn't add up to very much.Conan le Cilaire is of course meant to be John Alan Schwarz and I seriously doubt he has people wanting to kill him unless it's angry fans who paid money for dumb stuff like this, FACES OF DEATH III or the other entries in the series with no new footage.
View MoreI haven't seen the faces of death series, though being 28, I grew up hearing about them from friends, and the mystery has always remained. I thought this might be a good explanation of the series - I was wrong. However, I should have known that it would be a waste of time, since it was made by the same people who made faces of death. Adding to the comments of others, I have to ask, what is the deal with that horrible "Doctor" actor? Is this thing tongue in cheek, or are they really assuming the audience is so stupid that we won't see through this?If you want a good documentary, watch PBS or Discovery.If you want a good fake documentary, rent Spinal Tap.
View MoreThis is an interview with the creator of the original Faces of Death, which doesn't really explain anything, only what we already knew, it was faked or 'simulated' as Conan Le Cilaire tells us. He appears under a dark shroud and with his voice distorted, and explains how the scenes were simulated. Also a very amateur and simpering actor plays Dr. Louis Flellis, who tries to throw some light on the film, but fails miserbly.
View MoreI purchased this out of excitement that I would finally learn the truth to the controversy around the series' validity. Man, what a disappointment! They only divulge about three scenes, and pack the rest with filler, such as stock footage from the other films, and stupid commentary by horrible actors (notably Dr. Louis Flellis). Don't bother to waste your money like I did. You're better off reading the various online critiques on the films' falsity. You'll get much more info that way.
