Return of the Ghostbusters (2007)
Best fan film I've seen
Fan films are supposed to be just that, films for the fans. Braxton Film definitely took this in to play. This movie can't be used for commercial use, for copyright laws and whatnot. The fact that they knew this, and still took the time and money to make a very good fan film is an amazing feat. I have watched many, many fan films, honestly haven't seen to many good ones, most of them, it is a swing and a miss. But with Return of the Ghostbusters, I was beyond impressed. Braxton Film put together a great movie, with great actors, a good script, great special effects, for in-house effects. It's not your Hollywood glorified CGI, but it does a damn good job. It related great with the old Ghostbuster movies, definitely made for the fans, they kept all the same Ghostbuster language, same types of equipment, etc. Definitely a great storyline, it seems like one that could've been used in a real ghostbusters sequel. Bottom line, I was impressed. Damn good job Braxton Film, I will always trust you in the future, because you make true fan films, not pathetic attempts, like most fan films out there. I enjoyed watching this movie a lot more that a lot of the crap Hollywood is putting out these days. It is nice to see someone who truly cares, and isn't just sucked in by the money. 10 stars, best Fan Film out there, hands down. Also, reference Freddy vs. The Ghostbusters, it is somewhat of a prequel. Keep up the good work, Braxton.
Lord of the Flies (1990)
Loved it!
If you look beyond the lines in the book, you'll realize that the point of the book isn't necisarily just about kids getting lost on an island, yes, that is the story, but the meaning. The meanings are normal people turning into savages. Look at the time this was written: Just as Europe's fascist dictator's were rising. One meaning is the fall of democracy (Ralph's group) to brutal fascism (Jack's group) after awhile, each kid decides, 'well, everyone else is doing it' and joins Jack's side. I think what Golding was trying to show these kids' savagery. There is a difference of savagery in the 40's (when the book was written) and the 90's (when this movie was made) I think that the swearing just makes it more modern day. And of course this is not for children, neither was the book. It never was meant for children. All in all, I think it was a great movie, though it could've been better.
