Kajillionaire Review
This is the kind of movie I've been waiting all year for. I would happily push all of this years and next years blockbusters into 2022 if it meant getting to watch movies like Kajillionaire. Sadly the cinema industry wouldn't survive, so for now I'll watch whatever I can and sit through the Bond trailer in silent rage. Kajillionaire is a heist movie like no other I've ever seen. Imagine Ocean's Eleven was actually a Sundance movie, and that's what you get. Evan Rachel Wood is completely unrecognizable as Old Dolio, with her over-sized tracksuit and gruff voice.

Greatest movie ever? MoviePoopChute.com thinks not!
There is not a more positive culture relevant movie in existence. If you like any movie or TV show from the 70s-90s, chances are somebody from that show is in this movie. Mark Hamil, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Carrie Fisher, George Carlin, Pie fucker, that dude that screwed Joey on Dawson's, Stiffler, not to mention hetero life mates Jay and Silent Bob! The jokes on this movie are a mile a minute, so you need to pay attention if you want to catch them all. If you're new to Kevin Smith and his impulsive friend Jason Mewes, then check out their Smodcast podcasts, or any of the other movies they've done together. Mallrats, Clerks, Dogma, Chasing Amy, etc. This is a must see for any fan of pop culture. This movie is like every Funko Pop figure wrapped into one.

Brooks almost at his finest!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Not Brooks best, but I'd say his 3rd best, just after Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
The film follows Brooks character, a moviemaker with an original idea, a new silent movie with some of the biggest stars of the 70s. The film is mainly based around hiring the cast and saving the studio from being bought by an evil conglomerate.
Despite the movie being completely silent apart from a single word, the jokes in the title cards are hilarious, and the return of traditional slapstick comedy is somehow very comforting.
The cast is what really makes this film. The comedic talents of Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman and Sid Caesar are brilliant, with hilarious cameos from 70s stars Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Marcel Marceau and Liza Minelli, this film is perfect for the whole family!

Three Amigos are we...
Cult mid1980s comedy, which is really based on a case of mistaken identity as three Western movie stars from the silent film era are mistaken for the real thing by Mexican villagers and hired to run out real bandits terrorising the village, with those three (rather dumb) stars believing they have been hired to put on a show.
The singing bush.
The invisible swordsman.
An extreme case of mistaken identity.

Very strange...
This collection of 7 silent film shorts are put together in this film Haxan. It's hard to give a plot description in a silent film collection like these. They mostly have to do with witches and the belief in witchcraft through the middle ages up through the time this movie was made. There were also elements of devils and devil worship, paganism, and the occult.
The film tried to make the point some of these people and practices were strange at the time maybe due to not a great understanding of mental illness or psychological problems of those involved.
The way the movie was divided was interesting at times and boring at other times. I definitely enjoyed the sections where there were actual moving images with dialogue cards or subtitles rather than those with still images only.
Since there was no dialogue per say, it was difficult to follow at some points; however, several of the visuals were striking and even a little scary considering this movie is almost 100 years old.
I still rather enjoyed it.

It's daunting to write a review for this movie without giving away any spoilers, but here we go:
I had heard quite a bit of hype regarding this movie and it was well-deserving of it.
Many scenes were eerie without having to try, whether through camera placing/lingering or through catching something off to the side that you weren't quite sure you saw. Especially those oddly silent or dialogue-less scenes that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
I definitely recommend if you want to watch something that's a little bit different from what you expect and with a Stepford Wives edge.
