3. Birdemic
Birdemic is a shockingly relevant horror film about the dangers of pollution and the evolution of birds. The hero is an average man that the viewer can relate to, making his grueling fight for survival from the bird menace all the more terrifying. The movie is both educational and highly entertaining, jumping from heart-pounding action, to absolute terror. The film's CGI is terrifyingly realistic, making it seem as if they're actual birds shooting explosives feces. With a budget of 10,000$, Birdemic shows that even expensive blockbusters can be philosophical and intelligent. A high 9/10.
2. Justin Bieber's Believe
Justin Bieber's Believe is a documentary on the young, up and coming avant-garde experimental artist. The film shows off live concerts, interactions with fans, and making of music videos and other promotional things. The film also takes a deep look into the life of a touring artist. We see him struggle to record material from the exhuastion of concerts, his disillusionment of the life of a famous rock star, and his breakdown after all the stress he goes through. The film is both inspiring and tragic, Justin's life is what we all aspire, rich, famous, handsome, but we never question what the cost is. This film answers that question. A masterpiece from beginning to end, this movie is definitely a 10/10
And finally, the top Riff Raff movie of 2014, nominated by the Official Riff Raff Council of Patrician Artworks is…
1. Christopher Nolan's BANE?
Have you ever woke up at night, stared at the ceiling, and wonder what life would be like if you were someone else? Someone more successful, well-known, etc etc. BANE? answers that lingering midnight riddle. The movie follows the character CIA, a high ranking member of the Central Intelligence Agency. We follow CIA throughout his entrie life, from his birth, through his tragic childhood, to his promising life, to his devastating end. The film's antagonist from which the title comes from is CIA'S greatest foe, in more ways then one. CIA dedicates his entire life to finding Bane, abandoning his family life, shunning his friends and relatives, and becoming more brutal and sadistic. We see CIA change from a big guy, a man respected by his peers, admired by children, and feared by the hotheaded. At the end of the film we see his metamorphosis to a man even smaller then Bane, a merciless killer. The end of the film takes place on his father's plane, that he was born on during one of his father's missions, where he extracts a doctor and some of Bane's henchmen. He finally meets Bane, shrinking in the presence of him. We see CIA'S entire demeaner change in this scene. In the beginning, he is a humble family man that respects his enemies, as the film progresses, we see him become a hotheaded bad cop type, throwing away all of his past ideals to hunt down Bane. At the sight of Bane, he becomes afraid and reckless. In his final moments he accepts that his life is at an end, with his emotional final words: "No! This can't be happening! I'm in charge here!". CIA dies at the hand of the man he sacrificed his family life and ties to society to capture, and dies in the plane he was born. An allegory on the miracle of life. 11/10
