Their were moments where I even wondered if Craig himself was the killer just to fuck with me. I have to give Jones a lot of props here, he had me stumped all the way to the conclusion. It has been quite some time that I have seen or read a good mystery where I am not sure who the killer is. It is a Fantastic Mystery and Take on Old ‘Giallo’ Films That it is more of the question of ‘How do I feel about this?” than ‘What is the smart thing to say?’ It is done in a very respectful and very funny way and I for one find it to be one of the best aspects of the film. That true criticism should come from personal opinion. I do enjoy that Jones not only acknowledges this but centers his whole film around something that I believe in 100%.
Cinema snob the texas chain saw massacre movie#
Each of them has this air about them that screams self-importance and that they are above the rest of the movie going crowd. I think everyone knows that person or that critic out there that sees a movie like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and stick their nose in the air saying ‘Please, I will watch real movies like The Godfather or Citizen Kane. I would not dare sully my eyes with a disgusting film like that.’Īnd yes I know they can be a pain in the ass. I love the ‘moral’ (if that is what you can call it) that this film presents. The Film Takes a Great Jab at Snooty Film Critics It is up to Craig, Neil, and Dan’s wife Nancy to discover who the murderer is before they kill again.
But all is not well in the world as members of the film club begin to be murdered one by one. In order to sway him, Craig goes undercover as a pretentious film critic and attends the meetings where they enjoy watching films like Being John Malkovich and stopping it every few seconds to talk about how much they like a certain aspect of the film. However they are stopped by a snooty film critic Dan Phillips who is the head of a film club that will not give them rights to film in town. It is the tale of Craig Gollightly, an exploitation film writer who along with his friend Neil are trying to get the rights to film their recent ‘blacksploitation’ film Black Angus. The Cinema Snob Movie is the story of the ‘origin’ of Brad Jones’ character the Cinema Snob. So with that being said, that is why I am reviewing his recent film, The Cinema Snob movie. He truly made reviewing look like so much fun and since then I have been trying to do my own review site and have never once regretted a second of it. While the other critics I saw appeared to have a good time and liked what they did, Brad’s whole site exudes it. While I found him to be very funny and enjoyable to watch… But what really inspired me about Brad Jones was the amount of fun that exuded from each of his videos.
After I found his other site and saw all of the things that Brad Jones does including making movies, his radio style show Radiodrome, Brad Tries, The Cinema Snob, and so much more I was thoroughly impressed. Then I found one by Brad Jones’ character The Cinema Snob called Alice in Wonderland: An X Rated Fantasy. I saw this and said… well Jesus I have to see this. A few weeks passed and I was bored with nothing to do so I said fuck it, I returned to Channel Awesome’s site That Guy With The Glasses and watched a few videos of different critics.
Doug Walker is a really funny guy and I enjoy his work but after watching the video I was pretty much content. Now whenever a friend tells me I need to check out a video on the internet, usually I sigh because that means that I am going to either spend the next 30 minutes watching a meme or someone getting kicked in the nuts. A few years back a friend of mine named Colin told me of a video by Doug Walker’s Nostalgia Critic. There are even a number of films that hit me on a personal level… But instead what I wanted to do is review a film by a guy who got me into the realms of criticism in the first place. I could have reviewed a number of films that are either popular and/or infamous.
Some may think that The Cinema Snob Movie is an odd choice for my 100th review, but please let me explain. So with the first major milestone, I wanted to do something special. I love doing this and I want to keep going from here and make this site bigger, better, and more awesome with each day. And with this post, I am at review 100! Thank you to everyone who follows me and reads my reviews.
