Why do I write movie and television reviews from a White Nationalist perspective? It’s complicated.

First and foremost, I write because I love film. I think that film is the realization of Richard Wagner’s idea of the “complete work of art” Read more …

The Tourist

Trevor Lynch

527 words

The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie was released in December of 2010 and has come and gone in theaters, but it is now available on DVD. I recommend it highly. It is not a “great” or “serious” movie, nor does it try to be. It is, instead, something far rarer: an unabashedly entertaining movie that is entirely free of vulgarity, stupidity, and political correctness (or propaganda of any kind, for that matter). It is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the 6’8” German aristocrat who also directed the superb 2006 German film The Lives of Others.

Selfish Bastards:
Atlas Shrugged, Part I

Trevor Lynch

2,288 words

I saw Atlas Shrugged on Saturday, April 16th. It was a sold-out showing to an all-white audience in a predominantly white area. The audience contained a large contingent of Tea Party people, mostly Christian, as well as libertarians and Objectivists.

Sucker Punch

Emily Browning in “Sucker Punch”

900 words

I saw Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch a few days ago, but I wanted to wait until my ears stopped ringing before I wrote a review. Frankly, I needed the time to come up with something to say. Sucker Punch is often a great music video. It is frequently a great video game. But it never adds up to being a good movie. Indeed, Sucker Punch is a repugnant, pointless, and depressing movie, in spite of the fact that it is visually stunning and brilliantly directed.

Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown

In any poll of Counter-Currents readers, H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) would surely rank high among fiction writers. Thus Lovecraft is a regular feature in these pages. Read more …

A Serious Man

I don’t have much use for light comedies, but I love dark ones. Thus I have been a fan of the Coen brothers ever since their first movie Blood Simple, which I regard as a masterpiece.

The Road:
Apokalyptický film vzbuzující špatný dojem

Trevor Lynch

629 words

Film The Road dokázal, že The Road Warrior vypadá jako utopie. Příběh je založen na novele Cormaca McCarthyho a režíroval jej John Hillcoat. Ve filmu The Road hraje Viggo Mortensen otce a Kodi McPhee jeho malého syna bojující o přežití a dostanou se v Americe na “pobřeží” zpustošené nějakou ekologickou apokalypsou. Read more …

Vanilla Sky

737 words

Author’s Note:

Recently, while helping a sick friend, I had the opportunity to re-watch this movie after nearly ten years, which led me to re-read this review. I definitely think Vanilla Sky is worth re-watching — and that this review is worth re-publishing.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

Trevor Lynch

3,747 words

Similar things happen in the United States too: an alienated, bookish radical right-winger takes up weight-lifting and martial arts, creates a private militia, dreams of overthrowing the government, then dies in a spectacular, suicidal, and apparently pointless confrontation with the state. In the United States, however, such people are easily dismissed as “kooks” and “losers.” Read more …

Zack Snyder’s 300

Trevor Lynch

1,276 words

Author’s Note:

While preparing an essay on Zack Snyder’s Watchmen, which I think is the greatest superhero movie ever made, I came across the following review of 300, which for reasons now forgotten, I never got around to publishing. Since my readers have come to expect untimely meditations on movies, I thought I would dust it off. Give me your thoughts.

Minority Report

Trevor Lynch

1,711 words

June 25, 2002

Definition: A minority report is a statement of a dissenting viewpoint defeated by majority vote.

I saw Minority Report this weekend. Since I liked the last Tom Cruise movie Vanilla Sky, I thought I might like Minority Report too, even though the quality of a movie has far more to do with the director than the lead actor.

Men in Black II

July 15, 2002

My cat and I saw Men in Black II this past weekend, along with a cheerful bunch of white college students. My cat found the movie complex, challenging, and fully engaging. I was less impressed, but I admit that I was much amused.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, & Blonde

Trevor Lynch

1,000 words

Author’s Note:

While visiting friends recently, I saw this delightful movie again and thought it worthwhile to dust off my old review

I didn’t expect to like Legally Blonde 2. After all, according to Hollywood, Negroes are wise, noble, witty, and cool. They are cast as doctors, inventors, computer geniuses, judges, even God. But blondes, especially blue-eyed blondes like me — you know, “the Master Race” that Hollywood Jews hate and fear so much — are dumb.

The Dark Knight

Trevor Lynch

3,650 words

French translation here

In my review of Christoper Nolan’s Batman Begins, I argued that the movie generates a dramatic conflict around the highest of stakes: the destruction of the modern world (epitomized by Gotham City) by the Traditionalist “League of Shadows” versus its preservation and “progressive” improvement by Batman.

Batman Begins

Trevor Lynch

1,222 words

French translation here

After being blown away by director Christopher Nolan’s Inception, I decided to give his Batman Begins (2005) another chance. The first time I saw this film, I did not like it. Not one bit. I must have been distracted, because this time I loved it. Nolan breaks with the campy style of earlier Batman films, focusing on character development and motivations, which makes Batman Begins and its sequel The Dark Knight both psychologically dark and intellectually and emotionally compelling.

Machete

Trevor Lynch

1,480 words

I saw Machete on Friday afternoon. It was gross, it was hilarious, and it communicated an important message: Mexico is a filthy, impoverished, backward, corrupt country inhabited by ugly, treacherous, cruel people. Mexicans are invading the United States, bringing Mexico with them. Mexicans corrupt every American who comes into contact with them, and their power to corrupt is so total that they even corrupt the patriots and politicians who oppose them.

Inception

Trevor Lynch

832 words

I finally went to see Inception. I wish I had gone on its opening night. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Inception is one of the most imaginative and brilliantly plotted movies ever, and it is also one of the most thrilling and emotionally powerful. Think Vertigo meets The Matrix—but that only just begins to describe it. You have to see Inception on the big screen. So stop reading now, and go see this movie before it leaves the theaters.

The Baader-Meinhof Complex

Trevor Lynch

1,660 words

German director Uli Edel’s The Baader-Meinhof Complex (2008) is a riveting portrayal of the career of the Red Army Fraction (Rote Armee Fraktion), a left-wing terrorist group better known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang after Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, two of the group’s founders. The other founders were Gudrun Ensslin and Horst Mahler (now a comrade on the Right and a prisoner of conscience in Occupied Germany).
