Die Hard With A Vengeance is one of those movies where the theme of the movie is senseless death and destruction. You have people running around bouncing all over the fucking place. You have people running from one subway station to another while the infrastructure of New York City crumbles and disintegrates under ground level.
One way to describe the movie is to call it an explosive action movie. However others call this movie an action comedy movie. Regardless of what people say, this movie is classified as an action movie with a mixture of comedy, adventure, and drama. However this movie is not too comedic and leans more towards action, adventure, and drama to say the least.
The whole movie is a deadly game of Simon Says with explosive explosions. Simon (Jeremy Irons) forces police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) to play a deadly game of Simon Says. The criminal is in complete control of the situation which has everyone trapped in a state of panic naturally. Unsurprisingly he is one step ahead. People were running in all different directions. Everyone was taking cabs to escape the city. It’s amazing how a criminal can turn a child’s game into something dangerous.
The movie captured the rough tough New York attitude in the pre-9/11 era in spite of the fact the World Trade Center was bombed 2 years prior to release date.
Samuel L. Jackson killed it with his acting as he does in every movie he has a lead role in. In fact both Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons, and Samuel L. Jackson were killing it with their acting. Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis specifically stood out the most with the way they handled their acting.
Not many people know or are aware that a No Limit Films movie called Down Low was filmed. Only hardcore longtime No Limit fans know about this drama movie. This is one of the rarer No Limit Films movies that was hardly ever advertised anywhere. Even online.
The movie Down Low told the story of an undercover police officer who is out to bust arms dealers with ties to corrupt police officers and CIA agents. His plan was to bust arms dealers who sell illegal firearms.
The movie was scheduled to be shown in theaters sometime in 2000. However that never happened and the movie remains unreleased to this day. There was an even a soundtrack for the movie which also remains unreleased.
Here is what happened to the Down Low movie.
On December 9, 1999, Master P’s No Limit Films production company signed a multi-movie deal with Trimark Pictures. The deal stipulated that Trimark would fund a minimum of 5 No Limit movies. Trimark was to help to market and distribute these No Limit Films movies. Down Low was one of those movies under the new agreement with Trimark. The movie was to feature starring Master P, Silk the Shocker, C-Murder, Gary Busey, Romeo, and A.J. Johnson. Master P was to have executive-produced the movie.
However Master P shifted his focus on producing the Lockdown movie instead because that was his initial focus at the time he signed the deal. So Master P halted the production on Down Low and canceled the movie in 2000.
There was a higher demand for Lockdown as that movie was promoted heavily from 1998-2001. Fans were looking forward to seeing Lockdown than they were Down Low or Hoop Fighter. Promotion was another issue along with timing. Down Low would have been shown in theaters around the same Lockdown would have been. That would have created a conflict of interest. Down Low was hardly promoted at all while Lockdown was heavily promoted.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever can be called movie of the year for 2022. Or at least movie of the month for November 2022. Ever since its release date to movie theatres, people have been talking about this movie nonstop. The constant advertising is what is leading this movie to become so successful.
The technology department nailed it with everything in this movie from costume design to computer-generated imagery. Those amazing computer generated effects managed to capture and visualize African landscapes from the continent of Africa into the movie. Those computer generated effects are absolutely amazing and are ahead of the current time period. Yes, the desert scenes were astounding.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the most Afrocentric movie of 2022. Most if not all the cast, or significant majority of the cast, are of African descent or African American such as the famous actress Angela Bassett. Or the actress Lupita Nyong’o.
Much of the movie is based on African culture. The movie also uses references and symbols from African culture. For instance the fictional African nation of Wakanda was based off the country of Lesotho. The screen writers were inspired by the country of Lesotho when thinking of a fictional country to include in the Black Panther movie. Notice how the Yoruba, Hausa, and Xhosa languages are one of the official languages of Wakanda.
Hardball was one of the best sports movies of 2001 and was one of the best baseball movies of 2001 with handsome actor Keanu Reeves. Many may remember this movie as one of the best but lesser know movies that actor Keanu Reaves has starred in. The 2001 sports movie a box office success. Now despite being a success, the movie still remains as one of the most overlooked sports drama movies of 2001. This movie just doesn’t get enough recognition.
Gambling addict and ticket scalper Connor O’Neill (Keanu Reeves) agrees to pay his debt to bookies. A corporate friend of his tells him that he must coach baseball team of troubled African-American youth who are straight up dysfunctional. The baseball team lacks ethics and in sportsmanship given that the youth come from the ABLA Homes in Chicago, Illinois. Their team had been on a losing streak and needed the right guidance and coaching from the right coach to win games. 10% of this movie is Connor running to stop the kids fighting and negotiating with them.
This movie showed how good sportsmanship, redemption, team work, and team building was done. For example, when Connor buys pizza for the whole team after breaking up an argument which erupted into a violent fight. Sometimes food unites a team whenever there is a dispute, or an argument or fight. That was good team building on Connor’s part. Food can be used as a remedy to settle a dispute an argument.
The scene where G-Baby dies is poignant, surreal, and quite realistic. G-Baby’s death hit audiences hard. The scene showed anyone can die just that quickly in an instant. People were shaken by the scene of his death which caused sadness with many of the audience. G-Baby died after Conner dropped him and Kofi after winning the pre-championship game, G-Baby is struck and killed by a stray bullet during a drug deal that had just taken place unbeknownst to the two. Now this drug deal had gone bad and the rival drug dealers shot at the gang that was present.
Kofi holds G-Baby in his arms as he dies on the scene. The scene where Kofi holds G-Baby in his arms is so surreal and realistic. This was another one of those scenes which showcased how anyone can die just that quickly in an instant.
Now the soundtrack for the movie had Lil Bow Wow and Fundisha written all over it since they performed on a handful of songs for the soundtrack album. Fundisha sung on a handful of songs and wrote some of the songs as well.
Some of you might remember the song Fundisha – Live The Life which played during the end credits, a scene or two, after G-Baby’s funeral.
Live The Life is one of those songs that a message about one of life’s lessons. Fundisha sung about various perspectives of her life from her angle. She explained what her experience was like growing up “in the hood”. The song was included on the soundtrack for the movie Hardball. The single Life The Live was only a moderate hit and fell off the charts quickly.
The song has a catchy poppish R&B chorus with lyrics that went:
[Chorus:] Have you ever ever ever In your whole whole life? Seen the things that I’ve seen Or live the life? People don’t know what I go through Or imagine what it’s like Growing up in the hood
Have you ever in your whole whole life seen the things that Fundisha has seen or live the life? People don’t know what Fundisha goes through. Or imagine what it’s like growing up in the hood. Or imagine what it’s like being misunderstood.

Pennywise is a bloodthirsty psychopathic clown that serves as the antagonist of the movie. Although Pennywise is terrifying enough, no one would expect the name of clown named “Pennywise” to be terrifying at all. However that is not the case since this is a horror movie based a Stephen King novel.

That is why over the years the movie IT has been regarded as a 5/5***** star classic, a timeless masterpiece, and is a classic horror movie.

The Children of Darkness was one of the darkest documentaries of the 1980s. The documentary showcased the less than pleasant side of lack of mental health care in the United States of America for juvenile psychiatry and adult psychiatry. And psychiatry as a whole to an extant. For those who didn’t know, Richard Kotuk filmed and directed a documentary called Children of Darkness which was broadcasted nationally on television in the United States on PBS in 1983. The Children of Darkness documentary explored the lack of mental health care in the United States of America for juvenile psychiatry and adult psychiatry. Many seriously emotionally disturbed youth were shown throughout the documentary.
One of the most noble people in the documentary was Brian McAnally. Brian McAnally was the star of the documentary as he was featured all over the place in regard to this documentary. Richard Kotuk focused much of his time filming Brian McAnally due to his strange behavior inside said documentary. The Children of Darkness documentary explored the lack of lack of mental health care in America for juvenile psychiatry. Many seriously emotionally disturbed youth were shown.
Brian McAnally was first seen punching the backseat of the bus during a trip to the zoo in the beginning of the referenced documentary. He was shown with patients and attendants. During the behavior episode Brian McAnally created on the bus during a field trip to the zoo mainly due to his mental condition and developmental disability called schizophrenia.
The reason why Brian was punching the backseat of the bus is because Brian had a thought in his head a car located behind the bus was following him which led Brian to become paranoid which eventually led him to become physically aggressive with attendants/staff as they tried to restrain Brian McAnally in an effort to calm him down. Despite efforts to calm Brian down, his aggression escalated as his behavior escalated during an attempted restraint by attendants/staff. Brian kept screaming “I want to get off the bus! Let me off the bus!” .
His behavior episode lasted from 2 to 3 minutes. Brian McAnally was eventually secluded to an empty seat on the bus as an attempt by attendants to deescalate his behavior in order to calm him down. Attendants relocated Brian McAnally to an empty seat during an offscreen moment.
2 attendants helped Brian calm down as he cried in anger. As Brian cried away in anger, he eventually calmed down. He was tightly hugged and squeezed by attendants in an effort to comfort Brian. Much of his behavior episode was offscreen as an audio portion of his behavior episode was played. Richard Kotuk filmed other patients, residents, staff, and attendants as the 2 attendants attempted to seclude Brian in an effort to calm his behavior.
Later on in the documentary, Richard Kotuk takes us to the scene at Eastern State School where 2 attendants have to restrain Brian McAnally by laying him down on the bed because he is trying to pull the dresser over on himself. He was tightly restrained by attendants in an effort to calm him down.
Patient Brian McAnally was a product of an unplanned pregnancy. As result of an unplanned pregnancy, Brian was abandoned by his mother when he was 2 years old. He lived with his father until he was 15. (His mother was Lois Marie McAnally and his father was James McAnally.) His father was very much involved in his life. Every weekend, he would take Brian home to his home in Kensington, Pennsylvania. He father was very much active in his life in his roll as a parent when he was alive.
Brian has had schizophrenia since he was 4 years old. Brian McAnally was admitted to Eastern State School in 1979 because his father could no longer handle him or his behavior episodes combined with his self-injurious behaviors on top of aggression. As of 1979, Brian McAnally was a patient of Eastern State School. From 1979 to 1983 is when Brian lived at Eastern State School in Trevose, Pennsylvania as a patient where he lived for 4 years. The first few years Brian did well at the school. However, a months prior to the filming of Children of Darkness, former Eastern State School childcare worker Mark Williams admits Brian has been regressing. Brian had been hallucinating more with no sense of reality.
Psychotropic drugs were used to control his behavior while at Eastern State School. Doctors suggested that Brian be heavily medicated. It was at Eastern State School that psychotropic drugs became a form of therapy for Brian. Such medicine only made his mental condition worse overtime. Former Eastern State School childcare worker John Brooks states Brian has a likeable personality and that he is mildly retarded.
In 1983 after Brian McAnally turned 18, he was moved to a brand new group home which was located 4 blocks away from his fathers home in Kensington, Pennsylvania. Brian was thriving and doing pretty well in his group home better than he did at Eastern State School. He wasn’t as anxious or aggressive despite having been diagnosed with mania and schizophrenia earlier in his life. Later on, he was diagnosed with mental retardation.
Some of you might remember a man being escorted by orderlies. This man was William Calhoun (Billy Calhoun). Billy Calhoun was the patient who was hurting himself so badly from his self-injurious behaviors and being escorted by orderlies around the hospital at the very beginning of the documentary.
Billy Calhoun was another star of the documentary as he was featured all over the place in regard to this documentary. Richard Kotuk focused a portion of his time filming Billy Calhoun due to his strange behavior. Billy Calhoun has a profound case of severe autism.
William Calhoun (Billy Calhoun) was born in 1963. At the age of 4, he was labeled severely mentally retarded. He was then later diagnosed with autism. As a child, Billy was suffering from severe autism. His severe autism caused him to act out in an aggressive manner as he was dangerous around other and himself. His family could no longer handle him or his dangerous destructive behavior.
At the age of 7, he was placed in a state institution called Sagamore Hospital via Sagamore Children’s Hospital. He was more or less abandoned his mother, Mary Calhoun, and family despite that his mother saw him every week until she died. He was in a state of constant panic being unaware of what was going on around him.
During his stay as a patient at the Sagamore Hospital, his self-injurious behaviors worsened as acted more aggressive towards staff. Every 2 to 3 hours, Billy would be “walked” by orderlies around the hospital so his muscles would not atrophy or deteriorate. Billy had attacked hospital staff and orderlies in the past as described in the documentary. Most of the time he was strapped to his bed most of the time during the filming session for this documentary. While at Sagamore Children’s Hospital, Billy underwent intense therapy while being in restraints for 2 1/2 years long.
When he was 19, he was transferred over to South Beach Psychiatric Care Center in Brooklyn, New York. Since then he has stayed at that hospital which is not too far from South Beach Psychiatric Hospital.
Billy Calhoun is still alive. Things have changed. Billy has undergone several behavioral interventions and therapy sessions. Some of his phases eventually passed. The lobotomy and shock therapy never happened. As a result, Billy Calhoun now receives 24 hour care around the clock. He is well cared for.
The self-injurious behaviors and self-destructive behavior is still evident and present. Just to a level that lets him function to the point where he can function to be as aggressive or dangerous as he once was earlier in his lifetime. Billy is now heavily medicated by fair amounts of drugs. Things have changed, but we can never undo the abuse, trauma, pain, suffering, and torture he went through as a child. What happened there is beyond words.
Many seriously emotionally disturbed youth who were students of the infamous controversial private coeducational behavior modification program called “Elan School” were shown throughout the documentary. These students were sent to this behavior modification program because they were using drugs or becoming criminals. They were headed to prison or their deathbeds. Elan School was used as a last resort for behavior modification.
Psychotropic drugs were not used to control their behavior as these children and sound adults who were students did not benefit from psychotropic drugs. Ironic enough since a minority of them were already using drugs.
Jigsaw is an overlooked horror movie from the Saw movie series. However Jigsaw is not as much of a classic conceptual masterpiece of a movie as the original Saw movie was.

Think about the film scores and songs used the movie.
The movie Jigsaw can be described as a violent destructive horror movie due to the “death and destruction” and “killing over nothing” going on. It’s the same old events everywhere we look.
