Movie Reviews

IdentityTheory - 5/10 by Phil HallMinor, mild early effort from Stanley Kubrick.
User Review - 4/10 by Pandy 3Kubrick's second short black and white documentary is quite weird and funny in a unique way. Its shorter than the previous one and this time the camera follows a priest that travels between his parish by... his airplane of course! A fast mean for saving time and offering help to all of his flock, just like a humble superhero. The voice over narration fits great and the picture has overall nice air shots but apart from these is nothing special, just for one view ;)
User Review - 4/10 by Simon DThis propaganda for missionary work is perfunctory and artificial and opportunities for a dramatic or human touch are missed. With all the starch taken out of it, it is only really worth watching for historical interest relating to either its subject matter or its director.
User Review - 4/10 by Matt CFor completists (ie, film nerd losers like me) only. An odd early short from Kubrick cutting his teeth. Tells the tale of a plane flying priest (no honestly). In today's world this would just be a 30 second slot on the local news.
User Review - 4/10 by Michael SA picture that has survived and will only survive in time due its director. Solely for the Kubrick completist.
User Review - 4/10 by Kenneth SFLYING PADRE is a short documentary about two typical days in the life of a priest named Fred Stadmueller. There's not much in the way of entertainment or interesting facts presented in this film. It's just another early Kubrick film, so it's worth a look.
User Review - 4/10 by Shaun MThis is a silly short film about a small town priest who will go to any length for his fellow parishoners. Notable only for the fact that it is Stanley Kubrick's first piece of filmmaking.
User Review - 4/10 by Brian BThis was a bit of an underwhelming documentary. I usually don't mind it when documentaries have staged footage, even when they combine it with real footage, but I do mind it when those staged clips are easily noticeable as they can bring you out of the experience. That was why I didn't care for this film. Even though this film displays some of Kubrick's cinematography talents (many clever shots can be found in this film), it's still pretty forgettable. As the saying goes, however, everyone has to start somewhere.
