Didn't see it but maybe you have a review up for Generation X somewhere? You mentioned that it was from the devil himself in your 21 Jump street review and I'm wondering why it was so bad (I haven't seen it). I have a habit of reading/watching reviews rather than watching the actual movies. I find it saves me massive amounts of time while filling me in the rough plot.
Couple movies I'm like your opinion on as someone who is vastly more informed about movies than I am. Brazil, Time Bandits, Mutant Girls Squad, and Six String Samurai. There's also Redline (2009) which I thought was fun and its sound track is definitely worth a look. However, I consider myself to have no taste in art and as such am constantly looking for people who do to tell me why things are good.
Hope you keep doing your videos, very good stuff!

Thanks!
I never actually reviewed Project X because I didn't have the time and the review would have just been overwhelmingly negative, and not in a very entertaining way. The film was just a waste of time, and I didn't want to waste any more on it.
I haven't seen Mutant Girls Squad or Six String Samurai, but I am a big fan of Terry Gilliam's work.
I love how unique his films are, even if they can be a bit hit and miss. At least he experiments with his films, which good or bad, is always going to be far more exciting and refreshing than someone who consistently plays it safe.
Brazil is one of his best, I think. It's spellbinding visually and thematically, leaving you with what can only be described as a beautifully bitter taste in your mouth. It's darkly comedic, incredibly disquieting and yet utterly thrilling all at the same time. It's absolutely unique. There has never, and probably will never, be another film quite like it.
