#CHARLIE HUMAN APOCALYPSE NOW NOW VIMEO MOVIE#

America might be a classless society but it's not that classless and considering Bill Clinton ( Often described as ' America's first black president ) was in the White House at the time do we think that either men or ugly women would have a chance of being selected ? About as much chance as Bill inviting Hilary into the bunker I imagine There are a few good points about the movie that stops it becoming an overproduced disease of the week movie. Yeah right I sure the American president is going to give trailer trash and red necks to chance to come live with him. I also found the concept of a ' lottery draw ' to send people into deep bunkers where they have a chance of surviving the apocalypse unconvincing. This doesn't ruin the movie but I did find the heroine's trembling lip and tears in her eyes in every emotional scene grating and the movie does lapse into terrible mawkishness several times. The main protagonist is female and there's several sub plots involving family issues ( ' Gee Mom I hope the end of the world doesn't ruin my weekend ' ), oh and a bit of romance too. However it is flawed I think the problem with DEEP IMPACT is that it's probably produced to appeal to women. DEEP IMPACT came out a couple of months previously and is by far the better movie. It stars Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, is directed by Michael Bay and is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer so unsurprisingly it's a pile of expensive effects laden bubblegum. Armageddon is marketed to the unthinking macho American audience. I should point out though that both movies were pitched to different audiences. Perhaps the best example is DEEP IMPACT and Armageddon which feature a giant comet going to collide with planet Earth. The ingredients are there for a fun, exciting fantasy romp, but it needs a much better narrator.Why is it that everytime someone had an idea for a movie in the late 1990s someone at another studio decided to bring out a similar movie ? DANTE'S PEAK and VOLCANO both came out at the same and both featured volcanoes suddenly exploding into life, and there's several other examples of this unimaginative ' let's makes a movie similar to a studio rival ' movie pitch from the 1990s. It is a shame, as the central mythology (based on real South African folklore) is solid, and there is plenty of imagination on show throughout. As a result the action lacks any real sense of peril, and the humour just isn't funny enough to compensate. Baxter seems oddly unfazed by anything that happens to him whether cage-fighting a demonic crow or watching a loved one betray him, his narration never loses its detached, sarcastic tone. The bulk of the book is packed with monsters and magic and decapitations and explosions and gore, and yet somehow it's all a bit dull. Once his girlfriend is kidnapped and the plot kicks in, however, things soon begin to deteriorate. The early chapters of Charlie Human's wry fantasy Apocalypse Now Now are a riot, as sixteen-year-old narrator Baxter Zevcenko introduces us to his dysfunctional family life and shows off the highly profitable porn distribution network he runs at his Cape Town high school.
