Notting Hill (1999)
I had to give it a 10
I am not one for Hollywood type movies. I'd rather watch Army of Darkness a 23rd time than see Casablanca. However, after seeing Runaway Bride, I needed to see this. I didn't even know what it was about, except that everyone around me was telling me that I would hate it. Nope. At the very begining, I thought "it would be cool if..." well I don't want to spoil much. But just what I thought would be cool, HAPPENED. The director knew what he was doing, and the actors knew how to make it fun. Next time you want to watch a relaxing movie, here ya go. **** 10/10.
Titanic (1997)
It reminds me of Star Wars...
It reminds me of Star Wars in the sense that it was a good film, even maybe considered a great film. Yet no way should this film have gotten the media hype, and numerous awards which it did. I like Star Wars a lot, just like this, but one thing I hope to never see is a Kate Winslet/ L. Dicaprio (don't get me started about his acting skills, if any even exist) model figurines in an antique shop for 200$. *** or maybe ***1/2 stars for this flick, but don't bother to see it more than once- James Cameron is rich enough as is.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Tim Burton meets Ed Wood (the Director)
This movie is just cheese, but lovable cheese. The acidic pies, the cotton candy ray guns, the old person eating shadows, and the oh so numerous circus puns. and pay close attention for the puppet show scene, it's a cherry in a pile of whipped cream. (which is in a killer pie rocketing towards your head)
Forgotten Silver (1995)
To make a mockumentary like this work, your name must be Peter Jackson
I don't really have a lot to say about this movie, your at the edge of your seat, despite the fact it's fake. I'm still looking forward to Jackson's Lord of the rings series coming out in 2000. Be sure to stay tuned after the film for Jacksons 7 minute short, "Signing off"
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)
What's not to like????????????
Dante, with some help from Spielberg, managed to pull off one of the only sequels that is better than the first, the other being Terminator 2, and possibly Ghostbusters 2, and Tremors 2. But this sequel, unlike some others, changes the entire feel for what kind of movie it is. This one takes away all black comedy and horror which the first one had, and comes out "dantielberg" the quality of a Joe Dante animated feature, but with the Warner Bro's inflicked Spielberg family touch added. Hilarious spoof after sarcastic goof, so crack open a big bag of pop-corn and get right down to watching.
Darkman (1990)
I completely agree with Bobby Savage...
Yes, this film doesn't quite live up to that "Sam Raimi Standard" but it is guaranteed to cause even the coldest of all movie watchers a grin, especially at the moments where he goes temporarily insane. watch carefully at the end for Bruce Campbells 2 second cameo, and watch the rest as well. Once again I confirm that this film is WELL WORTH WATCHING, so do not miss out.
Evil Dead II (1987)
I may be the last to comment, but you should still LISTEN UP!!!!!
There is someone on this page named Dave, he complained about this movie, long story short I SUDDENLY DIDN'T LIKE DAVE!!!!!! This movie is awesome, a masterpiece, all the fantastic gore of Evil Dead 1, yet laugh after laugh, till he falls straight through time to "Army of Darkness". as another person on this page said "BUY IT!!" it's not expensive, and it is the perfect film, Sam raimi must've done something like this,
Recipe for Perfect movie. Bruce Campell---one, setting from "Evil Dead"---one, comedy---lot's, Gore---lot's, put in big-budget-bowl and frappe with chainsaw. Best served with a big bag of buttered pop-corn. Enjoy
Death Race 2000 (1975)
One of Roger Corman's only good movies.
I loved this film. The video game Carmageddon took so much from this that it's awkward once you've seen the movie. Stallone is great in his last role before Rocky, and Carradine gives a somewhat awkward feel of drama to a film that would have been great had it remained what it was, an action flick. Well, Roger Corman doesn't know how to go through a whole film without screwing up at least one aspect of it. It's still worth seeing, so go rent it, NOW.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Bowling, Car theft, Sex, Drugs, comedy, noir, more bowling, Coen???
Dude!! "The Dude" that's his name only his real name's Lebowski,
Your average slob, Drugs, bowling, and drinking. He has two real friends (his bowling team, Buscemi and Goodman) and he runs into trouble with a mob looking for another guy named Lebowski, a rich guy, weird comic adventures occur, crossed with the base story of a mystery, results in a successful movie that works, See it, See it Again.
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)
Scary, Even for me.
I Soapbar, Have seen the scariest, creepiest, and most controversial films ever, and still couldn't sleep the night after seeing this. Three boy's are brought in based on a flimsy confession by a boy with a mental disability, and although the boy changed his story, and there was hardly any evidence against the other two boys, they are still put to trial for captial murder. Intense, very intense. Frequently you change your mind about whose side your on, and what you think should happen, remind yourself, IT'S REAL, the footage is real, and the story is real. Those with weak stomachs beware, there is footage at the beginning of the dead second graders, bloodless, cut up bodies on the banks. This film should be remembered, it is truly a work of art.
Army of Darkness (1992)
If I were Gene Siskel, I'd want to grow another thumb for this one!!!
Picks up where Evil Dead II (another cool movie) left off, by far more humorous and toned down on gore, yet living up to the Sam Raimi standard. If you haven't seen Evil Dead II, see it first, but this one is a must-see. Personally, I believe that it doesn't get much better than this. Stuck in the past,a chainsaw at hand, an army of evil, good luck my friend Bruce Campell, pure entertainment!!!!
Meet the Feebles (1989)
If I were a video store clerk, I wouldn't know what to catalog this as!!!!
I, a long time Peter Jackson fan, find this flick nauseating, grotesque, and downright hilarious. Take the muppets, and look backstage, it might look a little bit like this, Drugs, sex, black comedy, and an overall directorial masterpiece. Yes, all of the above in New Zealand director Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles.
Oh yeah, and do try not to go around asking people "Have you seen 'Meet the Feebles'?" the common reseonse is, "What that one with the surfer brothers?" See it, love it, see it again.
