BLIND FILM CRITIC

I love how the unit he used to rate this film was "eyes open". Now that kind of humor is badass.
so when a fight happens, you are left in suspense until someone discusses or audibly conveys the idea of who was victorious in the altercation? that suspense has got to be even more nerve wrecking than actually seeing a fight.
Tommy, I think you might like Stranger Than Fiction. It's one of my favorite movies, okay, maybe it's my favorite, and the writing is great. The main character, Harold, wakes up one day and hears a narrator in his head describing what he's doing, and freaks out when it casually mentions the inevitability of the death it has chosen for him. Solid acting, and Will Ferrell is unrecognizable as an awkward, withdrawn, unlikely hero.
I can't imagine how 2001: A Space Odyssey would be for you; that would be interesting.
Oh come on man ,you do not talk about fight club
rules are meant to be broken
Jack Moody rule two: you know what it is...
Oh! Tommy! Please watch Memento.
It's a movie that confuses anyone, but it has solid narration and some great twists. One of my favorites, beside Fight Club and Little Shop of Horrors.
Ah, I take it back. I see now that you already did a review on Memento, and you liked it! Great!
love the way the editor blacked out that last punch. I think im going to watch a whole movie with the tv off, just the sound. see if I can follow it. I'll let you know what I think, Tommy. As always, love the reviews!
I'm very sensitive to watching particular fight scenes, but I heard great things about this movie, so I'm going to watch it with my eyes closed. Thank you for the review, Tommy!
Well... this was a very fitting review. Brilliant to get this kind of perspective on it.
I waana see how he reacts to Gravity
Masaladas incredibly late reply here, i can imagine gravity being so incredibly boring to a blind person, that movie is so much about visual fidelity etc that i cant imagine just sound doing it for anyone
The music man, I feel like the music wouldn't do much either lol
So I just spent the last hour watching your videos. Made my night a lot better, and I laughed along with you. Thanks for the joy you brought to my life.
Haha, amazing review! Your puns are hilarious. Loving it!
My all time favourite movie. I knew you would love it, the dialogue and the narration itself is just absolutely amazing.
Probably because this book was so great, and the movie is very close to the book. Chuck is the man. And Fincher is pretty good too when he wants to be....
I hope someday Tommy gets to see the fantastic visuals that go along with the sound. like if there’s one movie he’s reviewed that I wish he could see, it’s this one
I'm so beyond passionate about Fight Club. The visuals are stunning and brutal, but the music and dialogue is equally as amazing. I love listening to the soundtrack when I'm studying. If ya'll haven't read the book, I definitely recommend that, along with any other Chuck Palahniuk book.
Do a video where Tommy fights a professional boxer please.
That's dumb and you are on the wrong channel. This is only about movies.
read a cool anecdote about fight club. the author got the idea for his book when he got beat up and had a black eye when he went to work. he found that everyone seemed to ignore his wounds.
Now I wanna watch movies with my eyes shut!
When I watched the movie with the commentary, I remember them saying that part of the reason people find the movie to be so violent is because of the sound effects.
This is my favorite move of all time and I never think about what movies would be like if I wasn't able to see anything but I think with Fight Club it could work very well.
This is one of my FAVORITES, do City of Good, Mr. Nobody, The Truman Show, Beasts of no nation, Beasts of the southern wild to name a few
I'd love a Donnie Darko review. And a 28 Days Later review would be incredible too.
i would've loved for this review to have included spoilers so i could hear what you thought about the ending.
You are the only critic I trust!
Huh?
Right, I missed the rest of your comment...I disagree, much is revealed in movies if you listen only to the soundtrack and it works if you mute the sound and watch only the video. Try it one time.
I think we are looking at this from two completely different perspectives...I do appreciate the magic of movies and the entire art that goes along with it...these days I look at movies from more of an anagogic or allegorical perspective...I don't get immersed in the experience any more- it's more about picking them apart and finding hidden meanings for me...having said that I most certainly take Tommy seriously as a critic... sound is so important in a movie and when you remove the visual distraction much is revealed about the true content...even more so in these days of flashing visuals and computer generated "noise" on the screen...weeds out the bs very quickly.
***** You're too serious about the topic at hand. This channel's supposed to be light hearted and ironic. Maybe you shouldn't be watching or listening to Tommy's reviews since you don't seem to have any sense of humour. You're not supposed to be taking his comments seriously. If anything, you're watching to see if his judgments are as correct as someone's who has vision. It's funny because most of the time he's right even though he can't see. And it's not like his analysis' are in much detail anyway. Fuckin relax.
+WhereTheyAre -Speaking of being objective. Someone reviewing Tommy (can't remember where) said, Tommy has inspired them to play a movie they have not seen before, wearing a blind fold. Then play it again, with sight. I said to myself, I would like to try that too. Might be fun. Haven't tried it yet, but would like to. Maybe you should too.
bad santa? i love your perspective on reviews. i like lukejcarter's idea as well and will try to listen to a movie. when i watch a movie i am missing all the cool sound effects and music
what do you image while there's a music montage? During which, the story is usually told visually.
What about Les Miserables? Even though I can't see two hoots without my glasses and I'm partially colorblind, I don't even need to SEE the movie to enjoy it. The music tells the story all by itself.
Great review man
Tommy! It would be great to review Wall-E with all the sounds.
how about The life aquatic with Steve Sizzoo ( I think that's how it's spelt).
Thanks Tommy! :D
love this book and movie! you should try youngsters classic MEAN GIRLS!
It would be awesome if you'd consider reviewing the two newest Star Trek movies! Also, I don't know if you would do a tv show review, but I think you'd really enjoy the new bbc Sherlock show, you wouldn't regret it. Benedict Cumberbatch plays in Star Trek into darkness and he also plays Sherlock in the bbc show. There's great dialogue and sound effects in the movies and the show, I really hope you think about reviewing them!
Why can't we hear your comments on the twilight movie. Not in this country?
Do you often fall asleep at inappropriate times because your eyes are always closed? (e.g. during movies, on public transport etc.)
@Lukejcarter I had the same idea, going to put it on the tv in the other room and turn up the sound.
The Devil's Double, The Guard, The Skin I Live, Shame, Middle Men, Ip Man, Hunger, Find Me Guilty
Here is a suggestion for a movie review: 12 Angry Men
Good review Ben. This was a really good film.
Please please do a full review for "The Room"...thumbs up so he can see this..
hi, when you go view a movie do you use audio descriptions or as a sighted person would? thanks & keep up the great work..
I believe "American Movie" would be a great one for you to review.
as for movie suggestions i actually have 2 directors for you to look at Quinton Tarantino and Guy Richie. Guy Richie's style is kinda similar to Fight Club. watch snatch and listen to see if you can recognize Brad Pitt in that one, lol
You may have not liked the movie, or the feeling with which you are left after it ends, but its still a good movie.
is it annoying or helpful when someone tries to explain what's going on in a movie when there's no dialog? like for a montage, or if it's something that's only visually revealed but very key to the plot?
You're right, it doesn't make sense at all. Unfortunately I was outnumbered by my friends vote for seeing it. But I left halfway through to save myself hahah :/
I think you should review skyfall ... i am not blind but loved the ay the music followed the movie and would like to know what you thought.
I love fight club
How do you go to the movies, like do you go with a friend or what
Please review Silence of the Lambs!
You know you've made a good film if someone who can't see knows what's going on lol
how about reviewing the Seven Psychopaths?
very cool.
Review fried green tomatoes!
Fight club was a good movie :)
Memento, Usual Suspects.
I sometimes listen to a movie, because my sister is watching it in living-room right next to my room. It isn't bad, but sometimes you think what was that noise? :D
Think i may watch this film again :)
"You don't even have to see her to know how sexy and crazy she is!" Hahaha oh Helena
I personally hate watching any kind of violence, especially fighting. That ruined it for me.
Tommy...if you like dialogue driven movies, ANY of Quentin Tarantinos movies are a good choice.
I want him to review interstellar
review jaws!
Do some stanley kubrik
your review was good.
Please do bad santa
Please review Memento
He already did that
Review Metropolis.
Haha excellent choice for a blind person
It's okay, he'll never see it anyway
Do Star Wars trilogy!! :3
You should review toy story
i SEE what you did there
it would be funny if he reviewed the artist.
Never review the movie "Primer", or "Memento". It will probably ruin you, lots of sight going on in both of those movies, and lots of twists and turns that are tough for even a sighted person to follow.
Adaptaion. There Will Be Blood.
Don't listen to them, review Primer. I guarantee that you will have to watch it a couple times over to grasp it.
@thomasthemtman whoa its not like the epitome of a great movie... its just one man's opinion.
why does you keep your eyes closed
he would hear it though. haha.
At least he wouldn't have to see those sex scenes.
Person hates violence.... Watches movie called "Fight Club"
:/
lol his rating
I personally didn't like this movie. But to each their own.
Then dont watch a movie called fight club, violence aside, its still a great movie.
Oh... you're literally blind... LMAO
