Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Mixed Bag
I'm still not sure whether I enjoyed the film. Performances were good all around. Johnny Depp was good balancing the role between enjoyably camp and annoying well. Unfortunately the story itself weak and underdeveloped. Capsule synopsis: People get heads cut off, somebody to blame, (too) obvious suspect is love interest, suspects love interest, <cue quick obvious weak twist bit> rides to rescue love interest and right all wrongs <role credits>. Nearly an excellent film.
Clerks (1994)
Loved it
Superb film showing how two friends Dante and Randall survive the day from hell whilst running two convenience stores. Dante accepts the abuse, Randall generally abuses everybody he comes into contact with - both to little effect. It doesn't sound like much will happen it in, you wouldn't think that a film set in a convenience store could be any good. It is though, watch it, enjoy it, rent MallRats
Bill Hicks: Revelations (1993)
The Greatest Comedian on his Greatest Video (period)
This video captures Bill live in London, and is the last video he made before he died. He is on fire, ranting and raving about the hypocrisy that surrounds us leaving no sacred cows. Not too many people know of Bill, he died before making it really big. If however you ever want to know what all the fuss, that some of us make, is about him check it out. I swear you will not regret it.
Totally Bill Hicks (1998)
Comedians saying they all loved Bill Hicks
I've never really been sure whether I liked this documentary or not. It was shown on Channel 4 before a cut down version of Revelations, and is on the Revelations video tape before the uncut show. The documentary is basically friends of Bill saying how great he was for an hour with video clips of the show mixed in, a bit like a trailer for the film you're about to watch. It also features David Letterman grovelling like a worm for dumping Bill off the his show before he died, the reason? Bill made a joke about how Pro-Life people should picket funerals, and Letterman had Pro-life advertising. Anyway look out for the video as Revelations is Bill at his ranting best :)
Hak hap (1996)
A HK Action Movie you WILL enjoy.
I'm no big fan of Martial Arts movies, but the video shop was nearly empty and Jet Li was in Lethal Weapon 4 and I got it free when the other films I'd rented, either way I rented it. I absolutely loved it, my flatmate and myself (22 year old Biochemistry and Accountancy students) spent the half hour after the film making strange Kung Fu noises and throwing beermat shurikens at each other. I can't explain it (well maybe a little tequila). I never enjoyed Bruce Lee, skinny bloke kicking big bloke, beating him, kicking bigger bloke etc film ends. Think Jackie Chan with a little less comedy and more action.
