... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreI just saw this movie and while it's low budget, so much so that all the gunshots were added in later; it's very well made. It goes on just long enough, with an ending that BEGS for a sequel. And I laughed so hard my eyes were in tears all throughout. The guys who made this movie, watch out for them. They'll only get better. This movie doesn't really drag, either. And the dance number early in the film blew me away. It's pretty brief, and I wish there had been more. Yes, a B (or even C) movie with a dance number. A tremendous amount of nun jokes and good dialog. Loved the lead nun and her sisters, too. This movie is nun-thing but fun.
... View MoreNun of That is one of those Movies that make Indie Film Makers think "Damn! Why didn't I think of that?"Nuns in a 70's Style Kung Fu Revenge Grindhouse Exploitation Film with comedy tossed in. In the wrong hands this would NOT work but Scorpio Films Releasing executed it heavenly.It starts Sara Nicklin, who plays Sister Kelly Wrath. Cult fans of 70's Exploitation films would think Pam Grier worthy performance. I could see Sister Wrath kicking ass right next to Foxy Brown. And she basically does with Shanette Wilson as Sister Lust. I won't give any spoilers away but Sister Lust lives up to her name. Ruth Sullivan and Alexandra Cipolla round out the gang of Vigilante Nuns as Sister Gluttony and Sister Pride. Stellar Performances, Great Comedic timing and of course more ass kicking action.And that's just the Vigilante Nuns! The rest of the cast is beyond spectacular, they're down right groovy. I don't want to ruin it, you must see this movie!
... View MoreI simply couldn't believe what I was seeing...that was my first impression. 'They' just don't make movies like this. From start to finish, the entire audience was belly-shaking with laughter...I'm serious, there was so much laughter that many of the back-to-back jokes were lost in the noise. And these jokes are ruthless to all, and clever as hell. Sure some might find it shocking...but that's clearly not the point of the film...it's just a badass idea: a group of supernatural vigilante nuns that take on the mob? The film is shot in standard Griffin style--very clean, well composed, with a 70's style Italian cinema look. Very pleasing on all accounts. Richard doesn't try to impress you with lenses and adapters...he rocks the old-school (ha ha) 720p with panache. The film looks good, and the lighting is superbly stylized. The sound design and music is as usual very well put together. For a 'low budget' film, you'll find that all sound is at a professional level--ADR is good, foley is great, and custom-written music is paced and form-fit and exciting. A few times you'll notice what appear to be canned foley sound effects, but with the charm of the film, they hardly get in the way.The acting was pretty much all-around impressive. Everybody nails their characters, and brings something interesting to the table--and pretty much every cast member seems to understand comedic timing. Even the 'extras' in this film have chops. For a micro budget film, I'm telling you, the performances were stellar. OK, so you'll occasionally find a bit of a rotten tomato...but hey, that's OK...these are rare.I really recommend this film to everyone (unless you're easily offended and/or highly religious with no sense of humor). It's laugh-out-loud funny, and really comes together nicely in a well-paced action comedy you'll likely not forget. I honestly think this could become a NYC midnight showing cult extravaganza. ps. Anyone that openly trashes this film (*cough* you know who you are) and has nothing positive to say, is clearly a jealous competitor or a bitter jerk. I may be bias, but there is nothing one star about this picture...that's obviously a skewed opinion from a sour source. Cheers.
... View MoreRuggedly cute director Richard Griffin is back again with his newest movie, Nun of That. This movie had me sucking my fingertips after eating my popcorn. Frequent Griffin alum, Jason McCormick, stands out as Father Thomas with his impressive chin. While Brandon Aponte's visibly chiseled pectorals make me wish he'd carry me away in his strong arms with his dreamy piercing stare.The dashingly handsome Robert Buco plays Officer Cappicolla, just like the tasty cured meat product of the same name, I prefer the hot version of both. I'm guilty, put the cuffs on me and take me away Officer Cappicolla.As an added surprise, Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman appears as the Pope which is a must see for any of his fans.Run, don't walk, to this. Make sure to butter your popcorn first.
