VHS Movie Reviews of Cosmic Slop
Movie Review: I don't speak spanish
Summary: 2 Stars
The VHS arrived in good condition. When I watched the video the spanish-language stubtitles were a major distraction. Unlike a dvd, I cannot remove the subtitles. I emailed the seller requesting a version without Spanish-language subtitles and heard nothing back. Never again will I use this seller.Movie Review: How does America really feel about Black people?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent 3-story short that is a rare find these days. You will not be disappointed! It is narrated by George Clinton. The first story is based on a chapter in Derrick Bell's "Faces At the Bottom of the Well" which is an often overlooked, but excellent "fiction" book in the African storytelling fashion. If you haven't read The Space Invaders"" chapter in his book, you are really missing something. It gives much more detail than the film...but I digress. The second story is about a young priest who is struggling with his African/Santeria roots and his newly "found" Catholic "beliefs." His true beliefs become evident to him as well as the larger community. The third story...well, my take on it is the revolution starts at home. This one definitely needs to be on DVD. Movie Review: Poignant!
Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely ahead of it's time.Each story of the trilogy encourages us to ask some really hard questions about our lives.
Movie Review: you took my funk from thee
Summary: 5 Stars
i seen this show back in 93 and from what i saw if given the chance this might have been a sucess, george looked creepy flying around were viewers or whoever that scared that george would take the crypt keepers job. if you love p-funk and want to see what kind of visions the director had peep this, and shake your head in agreement that this would hAVE BEEN THE BOMO.Movie Review: In one word, "DEEP!"
Summary: 5 Stars
The Chicago Tribune quote on the front of Cosmic Slop's box calls it "A multi-cultural Twilight Zone." That sort of sells it short. It consists of three stories. The first is about aliens which promise to solve America's major problems in exchange for it's African-American people, making an extremely deep commentary on America's attitude toward minorities. The second is about attempts by the Catholic church to suppress the multi-cultural adaptations of it's faith. The third is about the cycle of poverty and abusive behavior and how apparent solutions sometimes lead to tragic endings. There is a break between each story in which Dr. Funkenstein (George Clinton) throws his twist on them. It helps if your a PFunk fan when you're interpreting his remarks but you don't have to know the PFunk lingo to understand the rest. The stories tell it all. This video does have it's set backs. If you can't read Spanish, or don't want to, the subtitles can be a bit distracting. Also, Dr. Funkenstein's floating head, third eye and ever-changing hairdo's are a bit tacky. There aren't any surprise appearances by or concert footage of PFunk in it either. That is what I was actually hoping for when I ordered this and I recommend getting The Night Before if that's what you're looking for. Still, I'm very glad I got this and I highly recommend it. Because of the strength of it's social-political commentary, I'm giving Cosmic Slop five stars.
