Botched is a crime thriller that is in a league of its own. Never before have I seen the fusion of such absurdities encountered in this film with a swift brand of suspense. Botched carries the feel of a Guy Ritchie film with 100% more blood, dismemberment’s, and romance. Surprisingly, this film hasn’t been marketed at all towards the gorehound public.

Richie Donovan is a down-on-his-luck small time crook who is in a world of trouble from his boss after failing the previous heist. In a final attempt to settle the debt, he plans to steal an ancient cross from a penthouse suite in Moscow. His luck goes from bad to worse as the elevator stops on the abandoned 13th floor which is shelter for twin serial killers.

Botched doesn’t deserve all the negative opinions that seems to plague this little film. Just like films of a similar caliber like Hot Fuzz, Botched is an incredibly witty film that is directed by someone who understands pure, unbridled entertainment. This is a film that spends the first half-an-hour immersing you in the story of an interesting character, and suddenly throws a dinner of death at your doorstep; much like From Dusk Till Dawn.

The central hostages that were taken by Donovan’s crew make up a diverse and dysfunctional bunch. The most memorable of the crew is security guard Boris. Ex-spetsnaz, Combat veteran, and master trap setter, Boris is the show stealer here. Not much is known about him or his character. In fact, judging by his kooky antics throughout the film, all of those claims undoubtedly could be lies.

Behind the comedy-horror veil is a wonderful love story occupied by two people caught in a hellish scenario. The chemistry between the two leads flourishes even though Stephen Dorff comes off as a supreme douche bag in every role he plays. The violence is over the top and the villains of the film are evil and religious. In a horror scenario, those are two things that you never want to mix. Instead of separating church and state, they should separate church and horror films.

Botched is a madcap good time. From all the filth that has been released in the past few years, Horror really is rusting up. But from the ashes of this dying genre, new life can be given. That life is Botched. A film that doesn’t really know what it wants to be, but it just does it. Botched is what I’d like to see come out in theaters, maybe even a wide release. It’s this small-handful of good releases that makes me have faith in “splatter horror”.

Typical Hollywood comedy fare; Insert some fart jokes and big name stars in a zany vacation-esque adventure in which friendships are broken and rekindled in the small run time. Unconventional Hollywood comedy fare; Tropic Thunder. Incompetent douche Ben Stiller has not only created a masterpiece in the dying genre of comedy, but he creates a dynamite dissection of the repetitive machine that is Hollywood.

Opening the film up is four vignettes composing faux-promotional ads for the fictional actors of Tropic Thunder. Alpa Chino’s Booty Sweat energy drink and Bust-A-Nut granola bar are the films openers. These several faux trailers are more entertaining than the entire self-absorbed run time of Grindhouse. The next trailers are several jabs at big films and stars referencing MTV awards and entertainment taboos as recklessness, celebrity nudity, and filmed homosexuals.

Jack Black’s Jeff Portnoy is an actor who is the white equivalent of Eddie Murphy. This is a man who gets his kick from playing 12+ characters in his films about family’s that exhibit several scenes of extensive Negro fart jokes. Well, the racial card is switched as the white family is predominately grossed or disappointed. The Nutty Professor is an abomination and Tropic Thunder recognizes this. The Oscar jokes go hand-in-hand with the neglect that Murphy’s role in Dreamgirls received at the Academy Awards.

Alpa Chino’s role is just one of the surprise breakout roles that are the catalyst for the extreme hilarity you will find in Tropic Thunder. The simple joke jabbed at his name is enough to make me squirm and point out the obvious role that Scarface had on urban society. You see, Black people need a role model. Whereas they cannot find one in some community worker or diligent government worker, they turn to a mediocre entertainer and uses his nihilistic and often drug-induced logic as their bible. It is almost fact that every rapper has a Scarface poster.

Now for the kicker. Robert Downey Jr.’s role. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. RDJ plays the “African-American” soldier Lincoln Osiris. This man goes as far as to quote The Jefferson’s theme song. This is the supposed controversial move that has the film crew prepping for massive public outrage. RDJ in a modern Blackface. The performance from this man has me in awe. He can play the serious Kirk Lazarus, and the Kool-Aid loving Sarge himself. Nothing is more perfect than this. Tropic Thunder is either the greatest comedy ever made, or the worst.

Together with this magnificent cast including a laugh riot role played surprisingly fucking effective by Tom Cruise, Tropic Thunder will literally make you shit yourself with laughter. This is the deep, sentimental humor that satirizes the stuff in Hollywood that people are afraid of. Tropic Thunder is the first in a (hopefully) long line of audacious comedies that build the barrier against “good taste.” Forget all the bad press you may hear. Someone needs to tell the disability groups that you should never go full retard.

I could go on for paragraphs due to the movies inconspicuous ways of packing so much comedy into such a normal length film. Take my seeing it twice as a fierce badge of dedication and love to this pristine film. Tropic Thunder is a national treasure of an action film and seamlessly blends genres to create a form of retarded art. Tropic Thunder is the real dope. Get Some!

Alpha Dog is contemporary crime drama (more like a comedy) directed by son of legendary independent filmmaker John Cassavetes, Nick Cassavetes. Mr. Nick lacks the innovation of his father as Alpha Dog is “stylized” in a similar way of many films of its kind. Alpha Dog is centered around possibly the worst subculture in America; Upper Middle Class wigger drug dealers who think they are “gangsta’s.” The film is based on a real-life crime carried out by play thugs that obviously got in way over their head.

Alpha Dog features an array of actors ranging from baby faced pop singer Justin Timberlake to almost bald action stuntman Bruce Willis. Emile Hirsch, the heartthrob of many teenager American girls, stars as the lame ass drug dealer Johnny Truelove. Truelove and his friend Jake Mazursky (played by Ben Foster) have a falling out which leads to a kidnapping. Jake is a deranged Jewish drug addict who sports an Nazi SS tattoo on his neck which can be seen when he beats a party of people up (including a black woman). Johnny Truelove has no problem calling his friend Jake a “kike” more than once in Alpha Dog.

I find the title Alpha Dog to be comical as none of the “men” in the film are masculine. I have seen bull dyke lesbians that make better “alpha males” than the drug dealing clowns in the film. I found the strongest aspect of Alpha Dog to be the comedic elements which I still don’t know whether they were intentional or not. Unlike the disgusting rich wigger fest Havoc (2005), Alpha Dog has it’s merits in displaying the characters of film as laughably clownish bitches. Sadly, I can see the average teenage white American thinking that the characters featured in Alpha Dog are “bad ass.”

Alpha Dog is far from a serious film that offers two hours of unpretentious entertainment. Like Larry Clark’s Bully, the film presents a “based on a true story” look at the sad specimens MTV “culture” has produced in America. The acting performances are full of character (not the kind you want to emulate) and are consistent throughout. The real Johnny Truelove was the youngest criminal ever featured on America’s Most Wanted. I wonder if he is as big of a turd as the Alpha Dog character version of Johnny Truelove.

Judea Declares War on Germany is an ultra offensive documentary created by Australian Dr. Frederick Töben of the Adelaide Institute. Mainstream media and “scholars” have vilified both Töben and the Adelaide Institute as “holocaust deniers.” Mr. Töben has spent his career attempting (and in some ways succeeding) to debunk certain facts and details centered around what today is called “the holocaust.” Töben’s low budget documentary Judea Declares war on Germany takes an in depth look at Dr.Töben’s findings. Since “the holocaust” is a faith and dogma based historical event, Dr. Töben has decided to take a critical look at all the facts surrounding the only historical event that Europeans are forced to believe to the very least detail by law. Dr. Töben (and other historians) has been jailed for this research.

It is no surprise that Judea Declares War on Germany has been banned in many parts of the world. The documentary features the swimming pools, post office, library, theaters, and other luxury services provided by the Germans at Auschwitz “Death Camp.” The documentary also goes into detail about how international Jewry declared war on Germany in 1933 via global boycott which cutoff 2/3 of Germany’s food supply (which was imported). No one wonder why citizens of Israel have compared Judea Declares War on Germany to “pornography” and “pedophilia.” After all, the Israelis should know as they (and their international brothers) are the biggest producers (and promoters) of both porn and it’s underage illegal molested stepbrother (kiddy porn).

Footage of a real NAZI DEATH CAMP during World War II

The reality of “the holocaust” is that any research done on it contrary to the “Russian” Bolshevik postwar propaganda is automatically labeled anti-Semitic, denying the holocaust, and Nazis. Ad Hominem’s attacks are very typical of modern academia and it’s “scholarly” supporters. Faith has always been more powerful than the actual facts. In the documentary, Dr. Töben visits the most barbaric of the death camps and talks to experts on the methods used by the Nazis to exterminate Jews. Dr. Töben also brings up how international Jewry tried to claim that 6 million Jews were exterminated in 1919 after World War 1. Jewish prophecies in the Torah claim that 6 million Jews are supposed to “vanish” before the state of Israel can be established. That being said, without the holocaust Israel would have never been recognized as a Jewish state in 1948. This is in despite the fact that most of the original Zionists founders of Israel are atheist Jews that base Judaism on “Jewish blood” and not religious beliefs. Essentially, “the holocaust” and the “six million dead Jews” are a kabbalistic (and scriptural) reasoning for the existence of Israel.

Dr. Fredrick Töben

Historians should never cease studying and critically researching historical events. This should be especially true for historical events that are promoted everyday on MTV commercials, Hollywood movies, and are forced parts of the curriculum in American public schools (despite Jews making up only 2 % of America‘s population). After viewing Judea Declares War on Germany, I can see that it is easily more scholarly (despite it’s lack of production values) than most documentaries and books I have read on “the holocaust.” The media has done a great job portraying international Jewry as the eternal passive “victim” despite how Israelis shoot Palestinian children like it’s target practice on a daily basis. It’s odd how the same people that promote the official “holocaust” story also promote drug use, pornography, abortion, materialism, hedonism, greed, ignorance, and weakness. Hollywood really is full of a bunch of virtue promoting do-gooders.

Judea Declares War on Germany is an interesting documentary that I recommend for anyone looking to see that other side of the argument. Dr. Töben does not try to “deny” the holocaust. He merely argues with the Soviet invented details centered around it. I can’t say I agree with everything featured in the documentary, but I most surely don’t believe in the Hollywood version of the “holocaust” either. Especially considering the “liberating” allies killed up to 11 million (4 million ethnically cleansed throughout eastern Europe, 5 million starved to death in occupied Germany, and 2 million soldiers died in slave labor captivity) Germans after World War 2 and then boast about morals. Around 72 million people (the majority being civilians) died in World War 2, yet we are only expected to recognize 6 million. Funny how World War II caused the destruction of Europe (all empires and nations fell) and the birth of Israel. World War II really had a nice monetary and power return for those notorious international bankers.
