Everly (2014)
This is a really bad and depressing movie
Lots of guns and shooting, but no story. Depressing. Don't watch.
Megaforce (1982)
The most MEMORABLE movie I ever saw!
I was very excited as a kid when this movie was being released to the theaters. The US Military was apparently on location studying this one on location to design the future of warfare.
It was STUNNING when Leonard Maltin reviewed this film on television and was so offended by it that he gave it a ZERO out of ten.
My childhood friend and I went to see it on the opening weekend and were completely blown away by it's crazy energy. Adding to the amazement of the day was that the theater was almost totally empty. We 'owned' the place, as if the film was made totally for us.
Back then all we had was allowance money, but decided that we *HAD* to see it again. We considered rushing back that week, but decided to wait for the following weekend and to our horror it was gone! It was one of the tackiest movies ever made, but the energy was like Rambo II on steroids.
"Normal" people will probably never bother with this one, but if you do watch at *LEAST* the first 10 minutes, and see the ultra cool military-machinegun-rocket-motor bike intro scene. The music and editing made me want to join Megaforce.
Never before, and never again shall we see one like this...and but for we happy few, the whole world missed it. The audience for this one were as few and elite as the Megaforce itself! I still laugh with glee about this film.
Von Richthofen and Brown (1971)
One of the best movies I've seen in regards to occult numerology.
Hidden numerology shows up to a heavy degree in shows like the M*A*S*H TV series, 12 O'Clock High, and various movies, but this one is my favorite.
What you have to figure out is what the Baron is referring to when he exclaims "I have 30 men fighting for their lives".
Cross reference that to the recent picture "Aviator" where the Howard Hughes character has 24 cameras for his "Hells Angels" WWI combat picture, but needs 2 more for a total of 26.
It all makes sense if you are good at counting cycles...but sounds like gibberish otherwise.
Anyway, this picture may seem inaccurate historically, or even boring, but it's the "numbers" game that's the most appealing.
I attended a lecture by 'Doors' drummer John Densmore a few years ago where he couldn't figure out why the "Doors" movie was so historically inaccurate. Again, look for the numbers.
Rather than complaining about details and the production values, the real fun in Richthofen and Brown is the 'hidden' wisdom...and you'll find it if you look carefully.
