7. A Serbian Film

There are some banned films that are banned for no good reason, and then there’s this-banned across Europe, this uber-violent flick was loved and loathed by critics in equal measure. Following the creation of a paedophilia-related snuff film, it supposedly stands for the political climate of Serbia at the time-although some people claim that this theme is blatant from scene one, for many the constant sexual violence was too much to bear. Not for anyone resembling the weak of heart.

    I was expecting another list of guilty pleasure movies paired with a whole lot of whining about a critic’s job being to tell you which movies are just good films period. Instead, though a couple entries were like that, the rest were just baffling. (You do know that Unforgiven won the Oscar, right?) At first I was wondering how I’d missed the reception that was just hands-down bad, but by The Wizard of Oz, it was pretty clear that this was just mistaking one or two negative reviews for “negative reception.” There’s basically no movie on the planet that didn’t get a negative review at one point or another. And for the record, Speed racer is not 1/10 the movie The Matrix Reloaded is, and not just because The Matrix Reloaded is alright.

    The Last Temptation is a film that could only be made about Christianity – any other religion would have (rightly) claimed that this film was defaming and just-plain-lying about them.

    I was visiting my parents in Appleton, WI (the hometown of both me and the actor once known as Bill Dafoe) at the time that “Last Temptation of Christ” was released, and was disgusted that even there, the theaters wouldn’t show what I thought was his best performance ever. Sad.
