Nomination Info

Movie Nominated: ASHES AND DIAMONDS
Nominated for Screening Date: 19 | Dec 19 2020
Nominated By: Ben Beckley-Chayes
Comments: OK, it's not a Christmas movie, but it does feature an upside-down Jesus. And it's not a bad movie, but if you combine the Rotten Tomatoes scores for Return to Oz, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalo, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Battlefield Earth, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Avengers (with Sean Conery), Disaster Movie, Master of Disguise, and The Haunting of Molly Hartley, you get the same rating as this film. Which cannot be a coincidence. But... FASCISM! COMMUNISM! VIOLENCE! A NATION DIVIDED! EXISTENTIAL ANGST! THE DESTINY OF A COUNTRY -- AND AN INCREASINGLY UNHINGED MAN -- ON THE BRINK! Is it 2020 America or 1940s Poland? Find out in ASHES AND DIAMONDS! (Spoiler: it's 1940s Poland.)
