Doses of Horror
(2018)

Unwatchable and incomprehensible dreck.
This "film" is nothing but clips of various clips from older "B" and 80's.

And they are spliced together in a way that does not even try to make a cogent story.

It is almost like the makers of the film said "Let's show a few bum and booby scenes from a 70's flick and call it a movie"

Look up the list of films that are used and watch them. Although they were never great to begin with.

Alaska: The Last Frontier
(2011)

Entertaining in a 'pro-wrestling' sort of way
I actually watch this show because I am entertained by it and the family characters are amusing.

But, let's face it, the show is contrived and staged.

Every week, we are treated to the next "Gotta get this done before winter" emergency fulfilled with an old "insert recycled item here" Example: Using an old semi flatbed to make a cow feeding station. After using a 100K bulldozer to move the bed, we will use commercial lumber that mysteriously appears to make the paddocks. Along with acetylene torches and various other power tools. Where do they get the tanks of acetylene? I guess they take the family barge to town?! But wait, why didn't they just BUY a feeding station? After all, they are multi-millionaires?

Rumors of Wars
(2014)

Utter garbage!
I saw this on Netflix and the plot description sounded interesting and it had 3 stars.

Problem was that I missed the "faith & spirituality" in the genre! So the decent ratings were inflated (sorry but religious people forgive a lot of sins in religious movies)and the plot description did not match.

The film itself borrows from Animal Farm, 1984 and the post-apocalypse genre without being particularly interesting. The acting is leaden, production shoddy but at least the character development was non-existent!

And Eric Roberts.....what were you thinking?

Pinned
(2009)

At least it gives perspective!
This was a hard movie to rate due to the subject matter.

It is essentially a documentary, but a lot of the messages in the movie were very subtle. Things like empty beer bottles on a shelf gave a lot of insight into family dynamics, if you see them.

The movie was obviously a labor of love for the film makers. I shudder to think how much footage they shot and edited a make the movie. But the final work is thorough and well-paced. And any wrestler will appreciate the subject matter and content.

There have been many times when I wonder whether I push too hard. But after seeing the Palmer patron in action, I now know there are worst wrestling parents out there!
