Quick and Dirty Movie Reviews
March 31st, 2011 — Documentary, Mockumentary
Also titled F is for Fakes.
IMDB: F is for Fakes
Basic Plot: Free-form documentary about charlatanism and art forgery.
Outburst: The trouble with Orson Welles (or should I say genius?) is that at the end of the program you are not entirely sure what is true and what is pure invention. This program has held up well over the years.
— If you are into tales of art forgers, you’ll get a kick out of Elmyr.

September 24th, 2010 — Action, Drama, Mockumentary
Basic Plot: Part action movie, part mockumentary, the story of District 9 revolves around an alien race forced to live as refugees on Earth. A government agent is exposed to a liquid which begins to transform him into an alien.
Outburst: While the actual gist of the plot is implausible, the reactions of the characters and corporate entities is so believable it carries you along for the ride. This movie will leave you with a dark taste in your mouth as you contemplate the evils of humanity.
/DVD — This is a groundbreaking, original film. It is extremely violent, but not unrealistic. If anything, the realism in the violence depicted only makes it more disturbing to watch.
