Great White YIFY
LINK ---> https://bltlly.com/2tDvbA
Big news! Apex predators hunt their food! There were a few moments of sensibility but all in all far too much reliance on age old tropes and fear mongering.The science and scientists featured in this 'documentary' appear pretty sketchy. I've never seen a shark tagged like that elsewhere, I hope it's not as cruel as it looked. Maybe it's because the host is such a cheesy dudebro and the dialogue all sounds scripted. At one point the host reads an article saying that great whites are just like serial killers. It's true that researchers have used the same geographic profiling used in criminology to also study predators in the animal kingdom, but it seems ridiculous to hunt down a great white in order to get revenge. Particularly when humans kill (on ave) 100 million sharks per year, whilst in 2021 there were only 73 unprovoked attacks.Seems like we're the serial killers tbh.
When the champions promoter, Rev. Sultan, decides something new is needed to boost the attraction of boxing, he searches and finds the only man to ever beat the champ. The problem is that he isn't a boxer anymore and he's white. However, once Rev. Sultan convinces him to fight, he goes into heavy training while the current champ takes it easy and falls out of shape....I'm guessing this film was only made to give the then relatively fresh Jackson trope a starring vehicle. After all, he was amazing in Pulp Fiction, DHWAV, and Fresh, but as a supporting role, rather than charge of a film.And the result is one of the most confusing things I have seen in a long time, and very boring to boot.So what we have here is Jackson showcasing his trademark yell in the guise of Don King, supported by a who's who of b-list actors, and a then quite famous Damon Wayans in a fat prosthetic.The film is a mix of Rocky III and The Naked Gun, but without the laughs or the thrill of decent pugilism. It doesn't have a message to give, other than if your greedy and try to take from the best, you will lose.There is some sub plot involving why a Black fighter is being usurped by Berg, but all that consists of is Jamie Foxx mugging, and Jackson laughing a lot.Goldblum is as great as always, but again, it's all about selling out, the wonderful message this film has.Be a sell out, become rich and arrogant, and you'll be famous.Only in America....
The film is about 1:21 and that's probably not helping it either.If this is supposed to be a takeoff on "The Great White Hope" of 1970 fame, forget it.Samuel L. Jackson stars with that amazing wig as a Reverend promoter up to his neck in disgrace.Everyone seems to want a piece of the action. John Lovitz is there as well as a reporter, played by Jeff Goldblum who goes over to Jackson's side for a piece of the action.Jackson has the idea that they can make more money by having a white fighter in the ring against their champ. They get a rock and roll singer who has not lost a bout.The film tries to show that while they all think that racism is not involved, it certainly is. We also have another black challenger who is constantly looking to challenge the champ and when he belts him in the end, Jackson immediately seizes this as an opportunity to promote their slugging to a future fight.The whole thing is rather silly at best.
Money corrupts and absolute money corrupts absolutely. Some of the lines go something like this. "I get my brains beat out and what I got for it? Two Rolls Royces!" "Well, that ain't bad." "But you got EIGHT!" It's a boxing satire in which opportunistic promoter Samuel L. Jackson, as a loud and beturbaned fakir, living in a gilded palace and surrounded by double-D trophies, decides that revenue is falling because nobody wants to pay to see two black guys beating each other up in the ring. The solution? Find some white guy who doesn't have a chance and match them up in Las Vegas.The white guy is Peter Berg, Golden Gloves champ from some years ago who has gone on to a career in heavy metal in Cleveland without ever having fought professionally. Being a rock star isn't as bad as it might be. After a set, back in his crowded dressing room, his assistants usher groupies in one at a time for his appraisal. He shakes his head twice and nods on the third try, and she goes down on him while Jackson makes his pitch.It's pretty amusing. Flagrant hypocrisy often is. Molière did it better in "Tartuffe" but this is no slouch. I laughed out loud, sometimes at business that was going on in the background. The non-Irish Berg enters the ring wearing a kilt, accompanied by "Danny Boy" on the pipes and a couple of dwarfs dressed as leprechauns. He's a Buddhist who is only fighting to relieve the "homeless situation in America and the United States as well." There are a lot of B stories and some of them are lost in the shuffle. Jon Lovitz disappears half way through. Some of the pauses for laughter are too long, suggesting the movie isn't quite as funny as its makers thought it might be. And it does go over the top with aimless slapstick at times.Yet it IS funny from time to time and if you can put up with a lot of noise and rushing around it's worth catching. None of the performances can be faulted.
Certainly not a perfect film by any means and often tacky and mean-spirited, this film has some very funny moments that are hard not to laugh at in spite of the details surrounding the humor. It also rounds a hidden body found by Robin Williams Oh, an Alaskan travel agent who uses the corpse to try to scam an insurance agency out of a million dollars by claiming that is his brother, Woody Harrelson. Little does he know that someone is already searching for the corpse, and not only does he have the insurance company owner after him but a crazy criminal as well.While not a big fan of Holly Hunter's, I must say I guess she steals the film as Williams life who has Tourette's Syndrome. The way that she deals with the intruder criminal who holds her hostage is very funny, filled with some of the greatest one-liners I've seen in a modern comedy. Williams has an accent that goes in and out so that is rather disturbing, considering his comic genius, and Harrelson's character is just another one of his long line of Looney Tunes. The Alaskan snowy photography is of course gorgeous, and I must say that as a modern black comedy, I rated higher because I considered it a bit of guilty pleasure.
Dry wit and dark humor; laugh out load comedy. A travel agent(Robin Williams)is in bad need of money. His business in on the borderline of bankruptcy and his wife(Holly Hunter)is in need of serious medical help. Finding a frozen body dumped in the trash by a couple of hoodlums, the desperate man decides to fraud an insurance agent(Giovanni Ribisi)by claiming the corpse is his long lost brother(Woody Harrelson). Kidapping, killing and desperation runs amok in the big white; and a fast get away to warm and sunny South America.Williams is OK, but it is Hunter that hilariously steals the show. Also in the cast: Tim Blake Nelson, Alison Lohman, and Ralph J. Alderman.
The premise is nice enough ... another "Simple Plan" type of movie. And while I loved A simple Plan (by Sam Raimi), I just don't think this one quite achieves in replacing/follow in the steps of that movie, which is a shame.But it still is enjoyable enough to like, especially Robin Williams is great in his role. The others play kind of by the numbers, but not that bad. It's just they don't deliver anything spectacular to the mix (in my eyes). It's also a shame that, the movie is quite predictable. If you've watched thrillers, at least one thriller, you know that nothing goes according to the/a plan. But it's a shame if you can smell or see where the whole thing is going. A few surprises do arise, but all in all it's mediocre, saved only by the bel ... I mean Williams performance! He's likable enough as main character for you to care for him ...
This rare but intriguing western deals with Will Bill Hickok ( Charles Bronson)who suffers several nightmares about an enormous white buffalo. Will Hickok join forces with Indian chief, Crazy Horse, previous to Little Big Horn battle, (here also named Worm and well played by Will Sampson) and a rifleman named Zane (Jack Warden) to track down a breathtaking white buffalo in the Black Hills . Hickok holds a dodgy obsession with the mythical animal until a spectacular final duel.This strange picture packs nois action , thrills , chills, tension , violence and semi-surreal outdoors. The highlights of the movie are the impressive mountain of bones and the buffalo attacks with the victims running afoul that deliver excitement enough. Packs something of 'Moby Dick' theme with the obstinate fight of a man to chase his prey . Other reviewers say that the white buffalo represents the fear to mortality . Features good performances from starring trio , Bronson, Sampson and Warden. Ample plethora of veteran secondaries , such as Slim Pickens as a stagecoach conductor , Stuart Whitman as a passenger , Clint Walker as a gunfighter, Douglas Fowley as a train conductor and also narrator , besides John Carradine . Other supporting cast in minor roles are the following ones : Ed Lauter, Martin Kove and of course Kim Novak in a special appearance. Although much is filmed in studio, the freezing frontiers , filthy towns and snowy locations are shot in Bronson Canyon Los Angeles, Chana New Mexico and Canon City, Colorado. Appropriate and atmospheric musical score by the classic composer John Barry.The picture is produced in average budget by Dino De Laurentis who made a trilogy with giant beasts (King Kong, Orca, White buffalo) and creature design by Carlo Rambaldi (E. T.). The film was professionally directed by J. Lee Thomson who directed good Western ( McKenna gold) and all kinds of genres such as Sci-Fi (Conquest and Battle of planet of apes), terror (reincarnation of Peter Proud, Eye of the devil), adventures (King of the sun, Taras Bulba) and Warlike ( Guns of Navarone, Von Braun). J. Lee Thomson working from the 50s in England, finished his career making Chuck Norris (Firewalker) and Charles Bronson vehicles (Evil that men do, Messenger of death, Death Wish 4 : Crackdown, Caboblanco, St Ives). Watchable results for this outlandish Western. 781b155fdc
