Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000)

I know I should’ve foreseen this coming, but I wanted to believe this movie had a chance of being good. It’s a spin-off of Toy Story, one of the greatest animated films of all time. How could it be bad? Oh, I’ll tell you. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins is exactly what you expect; an unfunny attempt at cashing in on a popular franchise with no original ideas of its own.

Set in the Toy Story universe, Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger, not the toy (voiced by Tim Allen) is grieving over the loss of his space partner, Warp Darkmatter (Diedrich Bader) at the hands of the Evil Emperor Zurg (Wayne Knight). While Lightyear struggles to find a replacement (the likely candidates being a crappy robot named RX, a space princess that can phase through objects, and an alien janitor) Zurg gets ready to unleash his most diabolical plan yet.

This is nothing but a ripoff of DC Comic’s Green Lantern Corps. A bunch of aliens, united together under a single unit to combat the forces of evil wherever it may be in the galaxy. It's not grounds for outright dismissal, but it doesn’t help. The malfunction that blows up the ship is the lack of originality. Buzz isn’t particularly interesting because he was never meant to be by himself. He was created as a partner to Woody (who isn’t voiced by Tom Hanks, but rather by his younger brother in the opening scene). He’s a straight-laced stickler for the rules that hates the Evil Emperor Zurg that subconsciously wants to prove he's the best Space Ranger there is. Yawn.

The movie wants you to remind you of Toy Story so bad, even if it makes no sense. A good example is the Little Green Men. Remember those guys? Remember how they were these random no-brand alien toys found inside the Pizza Planet claw game? Now they're an integral part of the Star Command. Then how come they didn't recognize each other? If Buzz has never seen Emperor Zurg (as established in Toy Story 2) how can he know him so well? Another inconsistency is Zurg himself. It’s clear to everyone that’s seen “Toy Story 2” that the character is supposed to be an amalgamation of a Flash Gordon's Emperor Ming and Darth Vader. He’s all kind of mysterious and diabolical. He's cool, calm, and collected like a robot. It’s nothing like the over-the-top, mustache-twirling baddie that we have here.

I recognize this is aimed at little kids. Some will say it should be given some slack for that reason. I don't think so. Was Toy Story meant for little kids? Was Toy Story 2 filled with bad jokes about people not knowing what arms were, or people accidentally finding themselves in their underwear in front of their peers?

The overall writing will make you wish you could jettison yourself into space. You can foresee every plot twist and character arc less than 2 minutes after the characters is introduced. Check out XR (voiced by Larry Miller), one of the all-time worst robots I’ve ever seen in a movie. If it's destroyed, it has the special ability to... be repaired. Wow! so if it gets blown to smithereens because it sucks and has no body armor, someone can gather all of the smoldering chunks, bring it back to Star Command and it could be reassembled into a still barely-functioning Space Ranger as long as no pieces are missing? How exciting!

You'll groan at the onslaught of bad one-liners and wannabe jokes, the worst of which comes from janitor Booster (voiced by Stephen Furst). The best part of this 71-minute television pilot is right at the beginning, where we see the familiar faces of the Toy Story cast together. It’s all downhill from there. The character designs are stylish but the plot is a black hole. The humor is so bad it's embarrassing. You'll wonder if shooting Castaway is what prevented Tom Hanks from participating, or if he just read the script. I just hope I’m the last person to ever suffer through Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins. (On VHS, April 21, 2015)

Review : The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2019)

Sometimes you read a movie title, and everything you need to know about that movie is encompassed in the title.  Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Night of the Living Dead.  Hobo With a Shotgun.  You catch my drift.  That’s why, from the moment I heard about The Man Who Killed Hitler, and Then the Bigfoot, I knew that I had to see that film.

Calvin Barr (Sam Elliot) spends the twilight of his years taking care of his dog and checking in on his younger brother Ed (Larry Miller).  He often reminisces on the love of his life, a woman named Maxine (Caitlyn FitzGerald) that he let slip away before going to World War II.  What really and truly haunts him, however, is his time as a soldier.  Calvin, even as a young man, longed for a peaceful life free of conflict, but when duty called, he answered.  His duties, however, led to him being asked to take the life of Hitler in hopes of winning the war.  Now, many years later, Calvin is tasked for a new mission from American agent Flag Pin (Ron Livingston) and Canadian agent Maple Leaf (Rizwan Manji) : killing a diseased Bigfoot (Mark Steger) to end the spread of the Nightmare Plague, a disease threatening to end civilization as we know it.

This film plays like an exercise in lore-building, where the goal is to create a modern day John Henry of sorts.  With Calvin, we are presented a man often haunted by his past during moments of reflection, and the past we are present with has a moment of ‘glory’ that exceeds the imagination.  Due to his code, his honor, and his hesitancy to be responsible for a human life, however, we are presented with a tortured individual rather than one who holds those memories with pride.  The aforementioned moments where Calvin stops at his reflection to reflect is visual poetry that resonates, with Sam Elliot’s legendary stature furthering the effectiveness of the moments.

The Man Who Killed Hitler, and Then the Bigfoot is a triple threat of sorts : a combination of a No Country For Old Men tale of a man witnessing the times change, a heightened historical drama, and a fantasy adventure.  This allows for the use of a non-narrative structure that not only gives visual subtext for pensive moments in the form of low-level PTSD triggers, but it allows for stylized shifts from one era to the next.  In terms of narrative subtext, making Calvin the man responsible for taking the lives of two monsters plays well against his timid and tender nature, as not even the most heartless man and a rabid beast give him full license and justification for taking a life with no regrets.  

The period-based nature of large sections of the film allows for distinct shifts in design and costuming that are taken full advantage of.  The deliberate pacing of the film makes the 90 minutes hold very well, where the film does not feel overly long, but it doesn’t fly by in comparison to the modern day two-plus hour film.  The score and cinematography during the titular heightened moments balances well against the personal moments, where diagetic soundtrack plays against slice of life moments in comparison.  

Sam Elliot and Aiden Turner do a fascinating parallel job portraying the complexities of Calvin Barr, with Elliot’s pensive nature and reflective regret playing well against Turner’s youthful optimism that is caged by the fear of unknowing, forcing him to take dangerous leaps physically and hold back on the emotional ones.  Caitlyn FitzGerald brings echoes of war-era unrequited love performances to the table, but builds it under a foundation of silent strength due to the unwritten rules of a bygone era.  Ron Livingston and Ritzwan Manji make an interesting ‘good cop bad cop’ pairing, with Livingston playing the American heavy, and Manji playing the curious and concerned Canadian that lacks edge.  Larry Miller and his comedic presence create a youthful vibe that plays well against the world-worn nature of Elliot, therefor bolstering his little brother performance.  Appearances by Sean Bridgers, Ellar Coltrane, Aubrey Hale, and an unforgettable performance by Mark Steger round out the proceedings.

In the end, this film may not win any awards, but it is a short and sweet piece of art that I imagine is rewarding upon repeat viewing.  Funny enough, I watched it twice before writing on it, as it spoke to me enough to revisit it before penning my thoughts about it.

I would defend their freedom of speech if I thought it was in jeopardy. I would defend their freedom of speech to tell uninspired, bigoted, blowjob, gay-bashing, racist and rape jokes all under the guise of being edgy, but that's not the edge. That's what sells. They couldn't possibly pander any harder or be more commercially mainstream, because this is the "Oh no, you didn't say that!" generation, where a shocking comment has more weight than the truth. No one has any shame anymore, and we're supposed to celebrate it. I saw a woman throw a used tampon at another woman last night on network television, a network that bills itself as "Today's Woman's Channel". Kids beat each other blind and post it on Youtube. I mean, do you remember when eating rats and maggots on Survivor was shocking? It all seems so quaint now. I'm sure the girls from "2 Girls 1 Cup" are gonna have their own dating show on VH-1 any day now. I mean, why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized? #godblessamerica #godblessamericamovie #bobcatgoldthwait #joelmurray #taralynnebarr #larrymiller #cultclassic #darkcomedy #traviswester https://www.instagram.com/p/CVE5-BCsT7t/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Here's a film that is remarkably comfortable in its own skin and has the most honest title since #SnakesOnAPlane. A B-Movie throwback that has a lot going for it and is kind of entertaining until a malnutritioned actor shows up in what looks like a naked #DiddyKong costume. If there was any film in need of one reshoot and a beneficiary of gofundme account, this was it"🌟🌟#SkipIt #TheManWhoKilledHitlerandThenTheBigFoot https://t.co/pqB2cDBzu7 #film #filmreview #filmreviews #filmIG #shortandsweet #movie #movies #moviescenes #movieclips #moviequotes #movienight #filmcriticism #filmtwitter #filmcritic #samelliott #larrymiller #johnsayles #adianturner #ronlivingston https://www.instagram.com/p/BugkeUbld72/?igshid=34rchy0b7vb5
