This history of anti-black racism in American cinema could've been really good but unfortunately, even at 52 minutes, it feels long and dull. The points Melvin Van Peebles makes may be all too true but the way in which he presents them comes off not so much as biting social commentary or enlightening historical narrative but rather like listening to the drunk guy in the corner of the bar grouse about the state of the world for an hour.

a lot of talking heads and a lot of graphs/charts, but what do you expect? It's a documentary about mortgages and wall street. That being said, there were some really powerful and revealing interviews. I loved the interviewer's (directors?) wit, too. Saying things like "Forgive me but you can't be serious?" when interviewees would say ridiculous things. It was definitely worth watching, even if only for the one liners such as "Americans are, for the first time in history, less prosperous and less educated than their parents" and "Inequality of wealth in the United States is now higher than in any other developed country"

Also, great aerial cinematography.

Couldn't agree more. Really, really average movie. I think that's true with most movies starring Ricky Gervais.

I saw it so long ago that I can't even remember what it was about.

The second time I have seen this in around 4 years and it's a film that really needs a thread of it's own in order to review and surmise. Powerful stuff but not always for the right reasons.

i found the torture sequences especially hard to watch and tear-inducing

From Robert Jordan who created Conan The Barbarian and yet another character that simply seems to exist and not grab me emotionally. Despite this film being set in Dark Age Britain, it is far too solemn for it's own good and suffers from a severe lack of pace and character conviction. Disappointed.

it's "Robert E. Howard" I didn't watch that cos the trailer looked like a cross between Lord of the Rings and Van Helsing.

they shoulda used the gothic-like template of the Marvel comics mini-series

edit - I also believe the books were set in Puritan-era America

Never Let Me Go

I quite liked it, but I feel it didn't impact me as much as the book. That being said, it was still pretty upsetting and very enjoyable. Well, as enjoyable as a very quiet and sad movie can be.

I love this movie Dead and Breakfast.

This is pretty much the American version of Shaun of the Dead.

There is a great scene where the zombies start singing and break out into country line dancing.
