3 . do you agree that racism played a role in the international community ' s failure to act to stop the genocide , as the un colonel says ? the film makes no mention of other possible contributing factors , such as the disastrous u . s . humanitarian intervention in somalia in 1993 , less than a year before , which ended after a u . s . helicopter was shot down and the bodies of u . s . soldiers were dragged through the streets of mogadishu . does this justify the u . s . and the un ' s refusal to intervene ?

the film is a remake of " the return of martin guerre , " a fine french film from the early 1980s , which starred gerard depardieu and nathalie baye in the story of a rural woman who waits many years for her husband to return from the war . when he finally does return , he seems like a different man . he is kinder , gentler , a better lover , and she gradually forgets the husband she had learned to fear .

the plot unfolds with elements that would be at home in a frank capra movie , which reitman crosses here with some sly political satire . but the heart of the film is really the relationship between dave and the first lady , who wander about their cavernous and lonely quarters in the white house like a couple of moonstruck teenagers .

dolph lundgren and matt battaglia both appeared in the universal soldier film franchise , albeit not in the same films . dolph appeared in the original and two sequels years later while matt appeared in two sequels produced for showtime that were later labeled non - canon .

the courtroom scenes , intended as the climax of the film , must be seen to be believed . the fate of the gere character swings back and forth , complicated because he would rather be convicted of a crime in his new identity than found innocent in his old one . the truth is manifestly clear to everyone in the courtroom , and the judge ( james earl jones ) should declare a mistrial instead of allowing the plot to creak to its melodramatic conclusion .

another historical inaccuracy in the film concerns its portrayal of the leader of the unamir mission . in hotel rwanda , he is colonel oliver , a fictional character based on lieutenant general romeo dallaire . to see dallaire ' s version of events as well as his struggle and work after the genocide , we suggest reading shake hands with the devil or watching the documentary based off the book and his experiences .

1 . at the beginning of the film , paul places far greater value on protecting his family than protecting his neighbors . but as the film progresses his sense of obligation to his neighbors and his countrymen deepens . indeed , rather than abandon the refugees he is sheltering , he sends his family to safety while he stays behind . is his decision the morally right one ? in making decisions , how much weight should one give to the welfare of one ' s family compared to the welfare of one ' s neighbors ? how much weight should governments give to the welfare of foreign peoples compared to that of their own citizens ?

4 . the film shows that there was a close relationship between the french and hutu governments , even while the killings were going on . on the tenth anniversary of the genocide , rwanda ' s president accused the french of consciously training and arming the hutus , knowing that they would massacre tutsis . the french deny this , yet it is indisputable that france was the rwandan government ' s number - one supplier of weapons . does this fact alone make france more culpable for the genocide than the rest of the international community ? how should responsibility be allocated for what happened , both inside and outside rwanda ?

kids all over the world and all through time want to rebel . peter muller ( robert sean leonard ) and thomas berger ( christian bale ) are two such young men whose rebellion against the conformity of nazi germany took the form of a love of american swing music , british fashion , and harlem slang . but when an innocent prank forces peter into the hitler youth , their friendship and their loyalties are put to the test against the seductive power of nazism .

in nazi germany , the youth of the nation were pressed into joining the pro - nazi youth league called the " hitlerjugend " , or hitler youth . a group of rebel teenagers , however , chose to defy nazi directives and grew their hair long and listened to american music while calling themselves the " swing kids . " this is the story of one group of swing kids and how nazi rule and persuasion tore them apart and set them against each other .

had it confined itself to the isolating effects of herman ' s medical ordeal , erik gustavson ' s film would have lived up to the somber foreshadowing with which it begins . as it is , " herman " fluctuates unpredictably between uplifting moments and upsetting ones , which may well have been what the director had in mind . but the effect leaves the film ultimately at cross - purposes with itself , and not easily able to generate much emotion . although young mr . lie , a feisty and earnest young actor , plays the title role with great sincerity , herman remains a mild , loosely drawn character without strong impact .

a panamanian rebel leader is meeting with his financier / drug lord . the u . s . government seeks to " disrupt " the meeting by eliminating them both . thomas beckett , an ace sniper stationed in the area , is sent to perform the mission . since his spotter was killed by a mysterious mercenary sniper , he must be accompanied by richard miller , a swat trained sniper from the national security council who has never had a kill . the two must best the jungle and complete the mission , hindered by numerous enemy patrols , " el - cirujano " , a renegade american working for the enemy , the mysterious sniper , and the rough living in a dangerous jungle .

very good film indeed , with enza ' s searching for love , and founding it at last in the baby who grows inside . this is the first movie i saw made for aurelio grimaldi , but certainly i like it . penélope cruz offers a great actuation , good for her .

in that sense , his medical ordeal becomes a process of liberation , punctuated by peculiar flights of fancy . for instance , for reasons that the film never needs to explain , this norwegian boy has made zorro his imaginary playmate . his daydreams occasionally interrupt the telling of this coming - of - age story , though they rarely reveal more about the sunny , independent - minded herman than the audience already knows .

prior to belgian colonial rule , it seems that were distinctions between hutu and tutsi , but they were primarily economic rather than racial . the tutsis were the aristocracy and the hutu were the common people . it was not impossible to change status , and " become " a powerful tutsi ( which means " rich in cattle " ) or an ordinary hutu . the belgians heavily favored the tutsis and exacerbated and codified the formerly flexible divide between the two groups . for a good explanation of the genocide and what led up to it , see the history section of the human rights watch report , leave none to tell the story .

films about illness almost always take stronger attitudes toward their subjects than " herman " does . this norwegian film , which opened yesterday at the 68th street playhouse , adopts a strangely whimsical , erratic tone as it tells of the title character , a handsome 11 - year - old boy ( anders danielson lie ) who reveals his medical condition in his first moments on screen .

low budget , c list actors , expanses of wide open scenery but for all that a really good film . there are some parallels with vanishing point but generally stands out on its own . dolf does a reasonable job but the character just isn ' t believable . just a note all the cars used are replicas , but then what a crime it would be if they were real . just ordered it on dvd from the us hope it is better than the uk video release was as the quality of that was the worst i had ever come across . looking for something to kill a couple of hours and enjoy car chases then add this to the list of classics : bullit , the hidden , ronin , taxi , gone in 60 seconds , the rock , vanishing point .

as the violence worsens , the un withdraws most of its peacekeeping force ( there to implement the arusha accords that ended the civil war ) , leaving roughly 300 soldiers behind . foreign governments send in troops , but only to evacuate their citizens , many of whom are guests at the hotel . the head of the un peacekeeping force , distraught over the withdrawal of his troops , tells paul to look at himself from a western perspective to try and understand why the international community has abandoned them—because they are african .

" herman , " which has a jolly , genial manner during many of its domestic scenes ( and an unduly playful one when it jokes too heartily over herman ' s giving a urine specimen during a medical exam ) , has been made with competence and care . its look evokes a strenuously cheerful culture very like that seen on american television shows , particularly those with an inspirational edge . as herman ' s parents , elisabeth sand and bjorn floberg generate a mixture of love and concern that would be appropriate for any character of herman ' s tender age , with or without his health problems . also briefly in the film is a little girl on whom herman has a schoolboy crush - - and whose full , gorgeous head of red hair is a cruel reminder of his own situation . their final scene together gives the film one of its stronger grace notes .

the overall tone of the movie , directed by john madden , is reverent - too reverent . he seems to feel that the source material speaks for itself , as if an audience would be impressed by the story simply because wharton took it seriously enough to tell it . but madden doesn ' t give us a reason to see the movie instead of reading the book , and " ethan frome " is a very long slog through grim pastures .

for instance , a conversation between a journalist and a rwandan at the hotel bar gives the impression that there were no social distinctions between hutus and tutsis in rwanda before belgian colonial rule . the reality was not so simple .

we also almost believe the way the movie resolves everything ; there ' s poetic justice in the way both private and public agendas are fulfilled . much depends on the supporting performances , and langella is superb as the oily manipulator who thinks he can run the country as a puppet - master . i also enjoyed kevin dunn as langella ' s right - hand man , kingsley as a vice president of great dignity and forbearance , and the always dependable charles grodin in a small but essential role as dave ' s best friend .

" sommersby " is a square peg pounded into a round hole - or , more exactly , a medieval european story that has been unsuccessfully updated to the period of the american civil war . the plot hinges on a deception that was just barely believable when set at the time of the hundred years ' war , where it could play off the superstition that a man might be transformed by war . in its present version is not believable at all .

paul rusesabagina , a manager at a belgian - owned luxury hotel in kigali , rwanda ' s capital , is as skilled at pleasing the hotel ' s ( mostly white ) guests as he is at currying favor with the rwandan army officers who frequent the hotel bar and the local businessmen with whom he deals . paul , a hutu , is married to a tutsi and his children are considered mixed . when the mass killings begin , paul ' s tutsi neighbors rush for safety to his house . reluctantly , paul takes them in and bribes a rwandan army officer to allow him to bring them to the hotel . this is only the beginning of the flood of refugees to come to the hotel . in total , the number of tutsis and moderate hutus sheltering in the hotel and its grounds would rise to over 1 , 000 .

as a novel , ethan frome can grow on you , because of wharton ' s quiet passion . this movie version , however , doesn ' t find a cinematic equivalent of wharton ' s style , trusting that the story and the acting will interest us . the problem is that the story , simply as a story , is a forlorn and cheerless morality tale . we drag our feet on the way out of the theater or make unkind jokes about poor ethan .

birdemic 2 : the resurrection is a 2013 american romantic thriller-horror film written and directed by james nguyen .

it is the sequel to the 2008 film birdemic : shock and terror .

the film , as with its predecessor , has been considered one of the worst films of all time and features mainly self-referential humor about the reception of the previous film .

taking place two years after birdemic , the film follows another mass bird attack caused by global warming , this time in hollywood .

writer - director james nguyen’s upcoming romantic thriller birdemic 2 : the resurrection finally has a trailer , which arrives courtesy of internet movie database . the film , a sequel to the filmmaker’s dodgy b - movie birdemic , features the return of the original flick’s legion of angry birds , though they’re bigger , meaner , and goofier this time around .

one of the closing night films for the cinedelphia film festival on april 27 th is the sequel to the 2010 cult classic birdemic : shock and terror – birdemic 2 : the resurrection . if you haven’t seen the first birdemic , it’s a bit like the room , but with attacking cg eagles and vultures instead of the super awkward sex scenes . also , where birdemic fails in its technical prowess , it more than makes up for it with a sincerity you honestly can’t fake on screen .

i use wiki 2 every day and almost forgot how the original wikipedia looks like .

the advertising tag — “you asked for it” — is the best thing about “birdemic 2 : the resurrection . ” its 2010 predecessor , “birdemic : shock and terror , ” was one of those rare instances of filmic ineptitude so distinctive it could pass as inspired folk art , winning the biggest midnight - movie following since tommy wiseau’s “the room . ” lacking the [ … ]

prehistoric floating birds , a giant jumbo jellyfish , and an anti - toilet paper subplot . it could only be " birdemic 2 ! "

included with fear factory on amazon for $ 2 . 99 / month after trial

so with birdemic 2 , i spent a lot of time casting . that ' s about 60 % of a good and successful movie is the casting .

director james nguyen talked with “this week in” about birdemic ii : the resurrection , his hotly anticipated sequel to birdemic : shock and terror . he explains that this movie will be about a flock of eagles and vultures that attack hollywood — who will survive ?

in response to an unexpectedly large number of fans being cuckoo for these killer birds , the film’s production company i got a fish productions turned down standard distribution deals at the last minute to remain independent and push the self - theatrical distribution of ‘birdemic 2 : the resurrection’ ahead of its previously anticipated june 2013 release date .

the late night cult sensation is back ! the chicago cinema society at the patio theater is excited to present the chicago premiere of birdemic 2 : the resurrection ! ! ! also , director james nguyen and producer jeff gross will be in attendance for q & a . come on out and meet the creators of birdemic , you know you have questions for these guys ! they will be bringing some exclusive birdemic merchandise and giveaways . this is one night only on april 25th at 9 : 00pm ! tickets are $ 9 . 00 and can be purchased in advance by clicking onto this sentence . more on birdemic 2 below :

birdemic 2 is about a flock of eagles and vultures wreak havoc amidst blossoming romance in hollywood , california , leaving bloodshed and destruction wherever they hover .

birdemic shock and terror was a masterpiece of awful that at least felt genuine in its mediocrity . birdemic 2 : the resurrection jogs along in unison , but has a sense of knowing that make the incredible production flaws a little less charming . the novelty seems to have worn off as the film takes on a " been there , done that " vibe that ' s hard to shake .

yes in a way . birdemic was produced for less than $ 10 , 000 , birdemic 2 is many times that for budget . but i tried to keep some of the elements that worked in the first one , the humor and the most important the hitchcockian romantic thriller structure .

according to the film’s press release , birdemic 2 director james nguyen’s inspiration for the sequel came while visiting the la brea tar pits . “i went to the museum at the tar pits , which had an exhibit of ancient eagles and vultures , ” he explained . “as i walked through it , i said , ‘this is birdemic 2 . ’ the tar pits are a major hint why the birds attack la . ”

" we wanted to bring a birdemic 2 game to all of the fans as well as introduce it to those not yet traumatized by the superb masterpiece . " said joe peterson from goh invest . " working closely with the producers allowed us to use the models from moviehead pictures and i got a fish productions ' head animator on the film , mike wu . " birdemic 2 : the resurrection is expected to hit select theaters early next year , watch the trailer at the official website , www . thisisbirdemic . com . you can catch the original birdemic movie at a special one - night event , when the cast of the hit tv show , " mystery science theater 3000 " screens the original birdemic movie in over 600 theaters nationwide on october 25th .

a few weeks ago i got to chat via skype with james nguyen the director of the birdemic films while he was in vietnam working on pre - production for his next romantic thriller . we discussed not only birdemic 2 , but also his love for hitchcock , birdemic 3 and what he thinks of when he hears philadelphia . enjoy !

fountain valley , calif . , oct 25 , 2012 ( globenewswire via comtex ) - - medl mobile , inc . ( otcbb : medl ) - - a pioneer in the creation , development , marketing and monetization of mobile apps - - in collaboration with goh invest and the producers of birdemic 2 : the resurrection , announced today the launch of " birdemic 2 : the game " , the officially licensed augmented reality game . together they produced a game straight from the mind of james nguyen , the master of romantic thrillers ( tm ) , writer and director of the cult classic , birdemic : shock and terror , billed as the " best worst movie ever made " in 2010 .

so the same technique that i ' m doing for birdemic 2 : the resurrection is the same as james cameron and avatar . the only difference is that james cameron had , what was it , 3 or 400 million dollars , so he can add computers to automate and synchronize a lot of stuff like camera motion that i can ' t afford to do .

you see birdemic as the same as birdemic 2 , the first half of the movie there is a lot of romance between a struggling director bill and a struggling actress named gloria . but surrounding that romance in the first half there is foreboding and foreshadowing , an omen that all is not well .

the first birdemic film had a very environmentally friendly message will that be the same with birdemic 2 , from the trailer it seemed like you has raised the stakes quite a bit . there is a very sort of apocalyptic feel to it ? i think i even saw zombies in there as well .

clips of ' birdemic ' on " attack of the show " july 30 , 2009 .

speaking with birdemic : shock and terror writer - director james nguyen , the first thing that strikes you is that no one is more excited about his film than mr . nguyen . from our conversation it ' s clear that whatever the merits of his films , he ' s in love with the idea of making a movie and equally in enamored of being recognized as a filmmaker . while birdemic hitting dvd and blu ray on february 22 via severin films , the filmmaker with the idiosyncratic films is happily moving along with his next production : birdemic 2 : the resurrection in 3d .

jn : we just shot about 10 % of the production . we ' re shooting the easy scenes first before we take the big risk of shooting on the jaws set on the universal studios backlot . so part of birdemic 2 will be on the universal studios backlot on the jaws set .

the birdemic 2 dvd release party and damien carter live performance will take place at philamoca on friday , october 18 , 2013 , at 8 pm . admission for the event is $ 10 in advance or $ 12 the day of the event .

the film was largely self - financed and was produced through nguyen ' s moviehead pictures company for a budget of less than $ 10 , 000 . the film has gained notoriety for its poor quality , with many critics citing it as one of the worst films of all time . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] after a limited theatrical release , the film gained a cult following and was picked up for distribution by severin films in 2010 . a sequel , birdemic 2 : the resurrection , was released in 2013 .

this was a gift for my son as he loved the first birdemic movie . great seller !

the thing that seems to be throwing people off about " birdemic 2 " is that they think it ' s a purposeful and self - aware attempt to make a bad film for the sake of comedy . . .

and yet here i am , reviewing the fascinating mess that is the film’s sequel , birdemic 2 : the resurrection . i willingly spent nearly two hours traveling to a chicago suburb with a group of friends to see the movie , which was attended by nguyen , star alan bagh , and producer jeff gross . i don’t tend to seek out these cult movie events , but i did it anyway . i’m writing this review despite the fact that it will say nothing of the film that could not be assumed based on one viewing of its trailer . of course birdemic 2 is bad – it couldn’t be anything else . but its poor quality is actually unbelievable this time .

the film’s production company , i got a fish productions llc , has announced that the world premieres will be in november 2012 in a few select cities with cast and crew on hand , with a wider theatrical release currently being set for december and early next year . to raise funds for broader marketing of birdemic 2 : the resurrection due to increasing theatrical demand , producer jeff gross created a campaign you can check out here .

chill will be bringing birdemic 2 : the resurrection to you first . they’ll have the film , written and directed by the master of romantic thrillers james nguyen , exclusively for 90 days before it out wide to other vod platforms such as itunes , amazon and google play . so if you’re dying to catch it early , hit them up here starting today , april 16th and you can check it out for $ 9 . 99 .

comedy - how did this get made ? ep . # 31 : 31 birdemic live !

but i managed to find a producer jeff gross is the producer and he managed to come up with the money many times over the original birdemic .

alan bagh and whitney moore reprised their roles for the sequel , as did colton osborne , rick camp , stephen gustavson , patsy van ettinger , and damien carter . in his 2 . 01 . 6 vice interview , nguyen said that he is hoping to eventually make birdemic 3 : sea eagle , which would be his last film . retrieved november 2 .

jn : yes , there ' s a sequel called birdemic 2 : the resurrection 3d . [ it ] has a great storyline - - even as good or better than the original , that compels me to make it . you know , i have a small office in hollywood , located near the corner of sunset blvd . and la brea ave . they call that corner " william wilder square , " named after the great director billy wilder whose greatest film is sunset boulevard .

the source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .

birdemic 2 : the resurrection is essentially birdemic : the greatest hits , which is essentially just birdemic shock and terror all over again , but set in hollywood - oh , and zombies . . . there ' s also zombies . not much else has changed since rod and nathalie saved half moon bay from the bird menace and if you ' re up for more half half baked environmental messages and james nguyen ' s " guide on how to make it in hollywood " then you certainly have an eventful 80 minutes ahead of you . for everyone else , yes , the film is a trainwreck . . . but man is it an entertaining pile of awful and more fodder for the midnight movie crowd .

severin films acquired the film in early 2010 and launched the birdemic experience tour 2010 , which showed the film in numerous cities in the united states and toronto , canada from april through july 2010 .

but i’ve obviously been a bad black saint because guess what arrived in my mailbox today ? it’s called “birdemic 2 : the resurrection” and lemme tell you something right here and now , i deserve a f * cking medal for sitting through this film . nothing on god’s green earth could prepare me for what i experienced while watching this movie . it’s like i ingested a really bad batch of shrooms and hallucinated the entire experience . i can still see the colors , swirling round my head like little rainbows…

not surprisingly , the original birdemic didn’t enjoy a national theatrical release , though this didn’t stop the film from finding an audience who were captivated by the director’s use of animated picture files to depict the story’s horde of angry , bloodthirsty birds . in certain circles , the film is mentioned in the same breath as troll 2 and showgirls . make of that what you will .

well it doesn’t go into full apocalypse , because the sequel birdemic 3 is in play , which i am hoping to shoot in vietnam . i just came back from there , because i was in pre - production on the sea is rising my project outside of the birdemic franchise .

but who knows ? the guy who directed - - back in the early 2000s - - he directed open water [ chris kentis ] ? he just made another one - - a horror movie , and it got picked up at sundance . so who knows , birdemic got ignored at sundance [ and ] birdemic 2 is getting a lot of attention , so maybe they ' ll give it a second look .

well , here you have it , a sequel to a one of the worst films you will ever witness , and even though the effects are " more consumable " than the first , the story is just as bad and the ego that " director " james nguyen brings to the table is far far worse . my jaw was on the floor from boredom and the acting is too wooden to even care . the sound editing is absolutely awful and the editing in general ( even though he nothing god to work with ) is dreadful . i am never going to watch these movies again , because they make we feel extremely dumb inside . " birdemic 2 : the resurrection " is a slap in the face to hollywood , and not is a good way .

on april 3 , 2009 , moviehead pictures self - released birdemic on dvd , selling it exclusively through moviehead ' s official website and manufactured on demand through urltoken . [ 21 ] in early 2010 , birdemic was picked up by severin films [ 22 ] with plans to release the film on home media . birdemic was released on dvd and blu - ray disc on february 22 , 2011 . the dvd ' s special features include an audio commentary by james nguyen as well as one by lead actors alan bagh and whitney moore , two deleted scenes , a feature on the birdemic experience tour , and an episode of the public - access san francisco tv show movie close up which features nguyen and was aired as birdemic was still under production ( the host of the show , bonnie steiger , later played an extra in the bus rescue scene of birdemic ) .

sequel to cult favorite ‘birdemic : shock and terror . to be released in select major cities worldwide in april 2013 .

i thought when birdemic became a world wide cult hit producers would just come up to me and say here is money james , for 20 million lets just produce birdemic 2 , lets make it a huge franchise . but it was still a struggle . i was an inch away from a deal at paramount , they were considering taking over the franchise , but they decided to pass and that was a total disappointment .

visionary writer / director james nguyen said his inspiration for the film was the la brea tar pits . “ i went to the museum at the tar pits , which had an exhibit of ancient eagles and vultures , ” he recalled , “ and as i walked through it , i said , ‘this is birdemic 2 . ’ ” he added , “ the tar pits are a major hint why the birds attack la . ”

bill is based on a real director i know , the character won something at sundace for a movie called four seasons back in 1999 . i wont say his real name , but seasons was in the title . well in birdemic 2 he made that movie and had a chance to direct a 100 million dollar picture , but the movie bombed and the studio said it was because he was too auteur .

us distribution company severin films saw potential in its ineptitude and took the film on a " birdemic experience tour " that included a visit to london in 2010 .

at some point , james nguyen will be the new ed wood , creating disastrous films but doing so with an irrepressible passion . eventually , birdemic 2 will stand next to plan 9 from outer space and troll 2 as one of many enduring cinematic oddities . in some sense , he’s achieved his dream . we’ll let him have it…he might not intend to make us laugh , but his movies are bringing us all together , which is something that cinema , good or bad , should always be able to do .

a horde of mutated birds descends upon the quiet town of half moon bay , california . with the death toll rising , two citizens manage to fight back , but will they survive birdemic ?

coming from the hangover part ii school of sequel plotting , birdemic 2 is almost the same movie as its predecessor , beat for beat . nguyen again apes the birds , throwing in overt hitchcock references and a far - too - intentional insert of tippi hedren’s star on the walk of fame . this time , though , the story goes to hollywood , where the film’s same ham - handed environmental themes ( the real villain is that dastardly thing called global warming ) are balanced with what’s supposed to be a wry critique of the film industry .

nguyen ' s sequel hits almost every single beat of the original birdemic , right down to the poorly filmed sex scene right before the titular birdemic kicks into gear . however , possibly bolstered by an admirable bit of macabre inspiration the murderous birds spawn out of an ocean of polluted red rain that drowns a couple or poor souls , gives birth to the eagles and vultures , and then disappears by morning . the protagonists waste no time reaching for their hangers to battle the onslaught of aviary villains .

so my next film , which i am pre - production for is the sea is rising , which is a romantic thriller and it takes place in vietnam . i have been going back and forth on pre - production for the last 2 years .

halfway through the film the birds attack and it’s disclosed later as to why the birds are attacking . that is the structure of the romantic thriller .

underserved in almost every single way , from script to direction and everything in between , jason statham deserves better than mechanic : resurrection . he is one of the few things that still works here and he saves it from being a total waste of time . not the worst film you’ll see this year but , sadly , this is one for the statham completist only .

on jun 27th , 2012 , youtuber and movie reviewer jontronshow [ 7 ] uploaded a video titled " birdemic : the best worst movie ever " examining why the movie , in spite of its flaws , had merit much like the room .

the attacking - bird sequences are as outrageously primitive as before . otherwise , the pic is marginally more pro in general packaging and design contributions , which isn’t saying much . “birdemic 2” does make one thing perfectly clear : mr . nguyen has a thing for blondes , invariably cast as wannabe actresses who’ll do whatever to attain “stardom . ” in a film less authentically dumb , this misogyny might actually be offensive . but one thing one can say for both “birdemic” pics is that their unique qualities arise from a filmmaker who truly appears not to know any better .

the movie was also inspired by alfred hitchcock ' s 1963 film the birds . the birds starred actress tippi hedren , who appeared in nguyen ' s earlier film julie and jack . birdemic includes footage of that appearance , playing on a television .

whether you look down on them or you lap them up , jason statham movies usually deliver what they promise – sadly , this one doesn’t . statham makes a great action hero and he’s fun to watch – he deserves much better than this and so does the audience . mechanic : resurrection lets him and itself down .

on a 2009 " best of " list , bloody disgusting listed birdemic amongst its honorable mentions , calling it " the best worst film you ' ll see in 2010 " . [ 24 ] the huffington post referred to the film as " truly , one of the worst films ever made . " [ 2 ] variety reported that " ' birdemic ' displays all the revered hallmarks of hilariously bad filmmaking : inane dialogue . . . miscued music , godawful sound . . . and special effects that simply must be seen to be believed : birds dive - bombing and exploding in red - and - yellow poofs of smoke , and clip - art eagles , crudely pasted on the screen , with only their wing tips mechanically flapping .

in his 2016 vice interview , nguyen said that he is hoping to eventually make birdemic 3 : sea eagle , which would be his last film . [ 39 ]

despite statham either knocking boots , kicking butt or carefully planning how to kick butt for most the film’s 98 minutes , mechanic : resurrection is nowhere near his best , or engaging work but that’s not his fault . the whole film feels much cheaper , less stylish and less engaging than the previous movie and , despite flourishes of creativity , much flatter . there are moments that do lift the film above the average to adequate , but that’s about as good as it gets , and that’s not good enough .

nguyen was inspired to write the script for birdemic : shock and terror while spending time relaxing in half moon bay , california , [ 5 ] and much of the filming took place in the area surrounding the community . birdemic began production in 2006 and took four years to produce , [ 6 ] partly due to time limitations—filming was done mostly on weekends over the course of seven months [ 7 ] —and also due to financial restraints , as it was financed through nguyen ' s day job , plus the time it took for nguyen to find a distributor .

like the first movie , the birds barely even appear in the movie . the first half of the movie consists of boring segments such as bill walking around in hollywood blvd . at the film ' s opening intro .

i am very excited about the philadelphia premier and i think it’s my first time in philadelphia . whenever i hear philadelphia , i always think of david lynch , because that is where he came from . i am excited to meet the birdemic fans in philadelphia .

the heart of a good movie - - whether it ' s a $ 10 , 000 birdemic or $ 100 million hollywood - style - - it ' s good casting . you got to have good casting . so i spent a lot of time casting and one of the reasons birdemic became a hit movie is because of good casting . and despite all the imperfections , good casting , good story - - a very seriously - felt story about man and his machines and all the harm it ' s doing planet earth . the movie became a hit , you know ?

“ as a rabid fan of the original and after hearing james’ pitch for the sequel , i knew this was a film that had to be made , ” gross said . “ at the very least , i needed to see it . i felt the world of cinema would be incomplete without the continuation of the birdemic saga . ” he also stated , “ we produced it entirely independently to ensure james had complete creative control through the final cut . fans of the original should be thrilled to see where he took the story . to call the picture ‘unique’ is an understatement . ”

birdemic : shock and terror is 2009 horror / drama film regarding large groups of acid filled , explosive eagles and vultures that attack the residents of silicon valley . though universally panned by critics , the film gained a cult following , leading to more widespread distribution in 2010 .

at times mechanic : resurrection feels more like mediocre straight - to - dvd affair from the late ' 90s or early 2000s than something that belongs in a multiplex . the script is leaden , the villain is thin and clichéd , some of the performances are so off and lackluster that they feel like perhaps they are being forced to perform - jessica alba and tommy lee jones , what were you thinking ? in the press notes , one of the few quotes from jones is about him getting to wear “some pretty cool glasses and shirts . ” that gives you an idea where we’re at with this movie .

now , while all this definitely makes blair witch 2 a pretty weak addition to the series’ very small franchise , i would be doing a disservice if i denied that this film didn’t hold a lot of potential . the core concept of the film—a tour group obsessed with a film that may or may not have been real go out to visit the filming locations and end up killing each other on the belief that supernatural powers were involved—has the potential to be something good and keeping along with the spirit of the series . director joe berlinger had stated that his original vision of the film was a more ambiguous tale that would make the viewer question the reality of the events that occurred and it was the studio that decided they wanted a more horror film - esque approach and ending .

on april 8th , 2014 , cinema sins uploaded a video to their youtube channel [ 6 ] titled " everything wrong with birdemic : shock & terror . " while their series normally indicates a specific time frame the video will work within ( for example in five minutes or less ) this video is set it fill " an awful lot of minutes , " indicating the film has many more issues than normal . birdemic had a final sin count of 203 , one of the highest in the series , excluding some instalments which feature ' bonus rounds ' , in which the score rises into the high millions . the video gained over 590 , 000 views in less than a week .

in january 2009 , nguyen traveled to the sundance film festival in park city , utah to promote the film freelance , handing out flyers to passers - by from his van , adorned with stuffed birds and paper signs that read " bidemic . com " ( spelling birdemic wrong in his haste ) and " why did the eagles and vultures attacked [ sic ] ? " , and renting out a local theater to screen the film . [ 10 ] word of mouth eventually gave birdemic attention from horror movie websites dread central [ 11 ] and bloody disgusting , [ 12 ] while the trailer was featured on the july 30 episode of g4 ' s attack of the show . [ 13 ]

some of the cast from birdemic are coming back . you know , like alan bagh who plays rob in the original - - he ' s back . rick camp who plays the bird expert ? he ' s back - - he ' s in . and tree hugger ' s [ stephen gustavson ] back . the ceo - - he ' s in . the kid who plays tony [ colton osborne ] - - he ' s in the sequel . so some members of the original cast will be back in the sequel .

birdemic 2 picks up a few years after the events of the first movie . rod ( alan bagh ) and natalie ( whitney moore ) are still together , and they’re meeting a friend of rod’s , bill , for lunch . bill ( thomas favaloro ) is telling rod about his latest movie idea and how , after his first big budget hollywood picture flopped , it’s hard getting funding . rod promises bill a million dollars on two conditions : bill give parts to natalie and their adopted son tony . bill agrees , and they’ve got themselves a movie .

in this sequel to cult favorite ‘birdemic : shock and terror , ’ a flock of giant , prehistoric eagles and vultures wreak havoc amidst blossoming love in hollywood , california , leaving bloodshed and destruction wherever they hover . the story features original ‘birdemic’ survivors rod and nathalie , who are joined by new friends , as well as other angelenos in their battle with these deranged birds . fans can expect the same quality they’ve come to know from a james nguyen film , only a whole lot more of it .

mechanic : resurrection isn’t unique but it is something of a rarity in that it is a sequel to a remake . while they do happen , they usually happen for a good reason but what the reason is here , i’m not quite sure . certainly , the mechanic redux that jason statham headlined in 2011 was an enjoyable enough action romp but it didn’t exactly have audiences crying out for more - they could get more of the same from most of his movies anyway . regardless , here we are in 2016 with the return of arthur bishop whether you wanted it or not .

i will easily admit that i have sat through tommy wiseau’s the room on several occasions , enjoying it with someone new to the eminently quotable lines , bizarre script , and questionable casting . the room , like many films of its caliber , is crap , but it’s fun crap . however , this is not the case with james nguyen’s birdemic : shock and terror , a film that possesses all the hallmarks of shoddy plotting and production but without any redeeming value . where wiseau ( mostly ) understood the technical aspect of filmmaking , nguyen’s film lets the intricacies of editing , sound , and picture slip through its fingers – which isn’t excusable in any case , even on the film’s tiny budget . combined with the wretched pacing , birdemic’s 80 - minute runtime is excruciating , as anyone who has endured it can tell you .

update 10 / 14 : we want to make sure that the room is packed for this so we ' re going to be offering a 2 - for - 1 special , buy one ticket and bring a friend for free ! damien ' s performance is going to be filmed so we want lots of people in attendance .

i’m not sure if i’m recommending birdemic 2 or not . i’m definitely going to tell my daughter to watch it , but she won’t , and that’s unfortunate because she’d really get a kick out of all the callbacks to the first movie . but for the casual viewer , if you haven’t seen the first one , don’t see the sequel . if you saw the first one and were disgusted by how bad it was , the sequel is no better so you should probably avoid it as well . however if , like me , you know the first one was crap but still had a great time watching it , then by all means try to find a way to watch the sequel . i can’t say i’d recommend buying the thing , but if that’s the only option , at least try not to spend too much . but however you see it , if you liked the first movie for all its stupid , quirky charm , you’re bound to have a great time suffering through this one as well . i know i did .

inconsistent walking speeds , celebratory high fives , sound cuts , and haphazard money transactions - it ' s all par for the course for a james nguyen joint . birdemic shock and terror certainly earned the " so bad it ' s good " label , but does simply copying the formula extend the good will to a sequel . it shouldn ' t , but it does . . . kinda .

sharknado fans rejoiced this week at the news that the syfy channel is pressing ahead with a fifth instalment in the trashy disaster franchise .

very bad acting as it starts with the " hi ! ' from the last movie .

most of the characters forget their lines halfway through . for example , when the the doctor from the first movie talks about ancient birds he says that they " attacked cavemen " .

nguyen ' s partial self - awareness of his new movie ' s camp value - - encompassing brief incorporation of zombies - - only makes it an effortful , half - understood in - joke rather than the guiltily pleasurable unintentional joke that was birdemic : shock and terror .

so , bill is played by lyle drucker . if you liked the original birdemic with whitney moore - - whitney moore is really talented [ and ] plays nathalie in the original one - - you ' re going to like lyle drucker because he ' s kind of like whitney moore . the guy [ has ] good talent and the right attitude , and i know he ' s going to do great .

there aren’t enough negative words in the dictionary to fully describe the awfulness on display here but still i wonder whether this is all intentional or not ? if it’s intentional then it’s just a really , really bad spoof of the original “birdemic” , but if it isn’t and nguyen thought he was really making something watchable ( as he did with the original film ) then he shoots to the top of the f . b . i . ’s “most wanted” list . he is truly a menace to civilization if that’s the case and must be stopped at all costs .

but nguyen’s partial self - awareness of his new movie’s camp value — encompassing brief incorporation of zombies — only makes it an effortful , half - understood in - joke rather than the guiltily pleasurable unintentional joke that was “birdemic : shock and terror . ” the sequel also falls pathetically flat in finding any kind of narrative ending .

despicable me 2 is the sequel to illumination ' s first animated movie which came out in 2010 . in this one , gru is hired by an organization who wants to capture a criminal who ' s trying to take over the world because they believe gru can dentify whether or not he or she is a villain . that ' s all i ' m gonna say . i came into despicable me 2 with no expectations . i just didn ' t know what to expect . i really liked the first movie , but it wasn ' t a movie that needed a sequel . still , i ' m glad we got it . this movie feels exactly like the first one , but not in a bad way . it has the same feel , same humor , same style of animation and a pretty similar story . but it ' s all good fun . it ' s an entertaining ride with funny characters and some good jokes . just like the first movie , despicable me 2 also has heart . so not only are the characters funny , but they ' re also sympathetic . there ' s not much i can say about this film . overall , it was really good . if you ' re a fan of the first one , you ' ll love this one too most likely .

unlike the first film , where it ended with everyone being happy , this one just ends with the birds killing one of the guys and leaving , even though the others are still alive .

anyway i agree but i think the room is popular for reasons that don ' t have to do with tommys cult of personality either . the room is like running on raw but complex ambition and nothing else . there are no other ingredients , besides that tommy was like only superficially aware of all the complicated intricacies that go into making prolific dramas like a streetcar named desire . with movies like troll 2 and birdemic you feel like their greatest aspiration in life was trying to make a better version of gremlins or avatar but tommy was somehow aware of how truly good tennessee williams plays were and wanted to top that . it ' s just the most obvious example of a gulf between artistic appreciation and artistic creation i have ever seen .
