As a true connoisseur of "so bad it's good" films, I had to watch 'Troll 2' last night… since I've heard it's the "worst movie ever made" (This description is often used to promote bad movies. "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" actually billed itself with that exclamation in their promotions of the film… it was false advertising!!)
Well, Troll 2 is quite similar to Tomatoes in that it has many redeeming qualities and in no way deserves the honor of being 'worst movie ever' title. For a fan of low budget films, Trolls 2 is actually much better than quite a few of Hollywood's big productions that are nothing more than boring!
I have noticed that as film's budgets have grown enormous, there seem to be far fewer films that possess the simple homespun qualities that the truly low-budget "best college friends making a movie" once had. I believe that now a person has to search out those incredibly low budget films produced by non-professionals on the internet and in specialty locations.
Just like in music and sports, if you really enjoy the innocent artistic traits of the average person, you have to avoid what the big-business superstars are churning out.
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
