Bum Hunts As Seen on TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This isn't "people's misfortunes", this is criminal assault and a hate crime. There is nothing funny about this at all and anyone who finds it funny is a sociopath. For those who don't know, this video is about young teenage males going out and video taping themselves as they humiliate and physically injure other human beings who are no different than these teens other than the fact that they don't have Mommy and Daddy's house to move back into when they can't cut the real world. Many of these people are the real ones working the jobs Americans don't want to do and don't want to pay enough to help them afford a place to live. Others have no choice but to live on the street when their military pensions, their social security disability incomes, etc. won't help them cover a roof over their heads even though they may have given everything up for their country and their families. Amazon shouldn't even be allowing this filth to be sold here and the feds should be looking for and prosecuting the human excrement who created this in the first place.

Homeless In America (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I screened this film because I wanted to know if it's appropriate for a class in peace and justice studies I teach. It is. Directors Tommy Wiseau and Kaya Redford have put together a very nice collage of homeless people from the streets of LA.
I emphasize the word "collage." If you're looking for facts and figures and analysis, you won't find it in this film. Analysis and data are important--crucial--but their problem is that they tend to distract us from the faces of real people. "Homeless in America" fills that gap by introducing us to a number of very real folks. The film is deliberately impressionistic, and consequently has a strong visual impact that sticks with the viewer.
Some of the unforgettable people interviewed in the film: There's the 70-year-old man, black as ebony, beard snow white, who declaims with the eloquence and fire of a prophet. There's Roy, a baseball-capped man who seems emotionally disturbed, who says that he's on the street because he's running from his problems, but wonders why society isn't a bit more ready to help him now that he wants to quit running. There's the quietly sobbing black girl who lives in a makeshift in a freeway tunnel. An intruder has just stabbed a friend of hers. There's the attractive middle-age woman who claims that she was once the wife of an NBA player, a multimillionare. Who knows if she's telling the truth? Who cares? There's the LA chief of police, who talks in the clipped language of the bureaucrat about the "issue" of homelessness, and there's the aging and weary-looking director of the LA Mission who says, grief and frustration burring his voice, that we need to learn how to love better in this country.
All in all, a good cinematic introduction to homelessness. Especially recommended for middle class folks who generally won't get within a block of a street person.

Acla's Descent into Floristella (La Discesa di Aclà a Floristella) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This film was inspired by true events. It's an unflinching exploration of social mores and disturbing sexual practices. It exposes the endless cycle of religious hypocracy and poverty that allowed it to sacrifice generations of children.
Those who toiled in the sulfur mines had no access to their wives and family for 24/6. Both men and boys shared a communal sleeping chamber where the weak were subject to the spector of sexual abuse on and off the job.
The only thing that kept this film from getting 5-stars from me was the dialogue. At times, the dialogue was stiff and it seemed as if the actors were reciting their lines. I would highly recommend this movie for viewing for those who want to understand why conditions that the film presented could exist.
