Reviews
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Catona Septimiu Excellent documentary about 1970's racing icons Barry Sheene (motorcycling) & James Hunt (Formula1). It focuses mostly on their 1976's winning season, 500cc motorcycling World Championship for Sheene (his first victory out of two in his career) and Formula1 World Championship for Hunt (the only World Champion title of his career). Very interesting is the comparison between the two 1970's sports icons and today's famous sportsmen. Also very interesting are the 70's footage and 70's & 80's advertising featuring the two stars. This documentary will caught your attention either your interested or not into sports & racing.
