Rubber (2010)
How can I get 1:15hr of my life back?
I just finished watching this movie on OnDemand. I cannot stress to you enough how badly I want the 1:15hr of my life back on this beautiful Saturday afternoon.
I *love* quirky movies (Human Centipede, Bartleby, How To Get A Head In Advertising, Boxing Helena, etc.) and thought this would be right up my alley. How could I have been so wrong?
I am begging you, everyone reading this, to please do something more constructive with the 1:15hr of your life (ie throwing eggs at the homeless, scraping tartar from your tongue, or collecting belly button lint) instead of watching this drivel.
The only reason I am giving this a two is that I didn't actually turn it off; like a highway accident, I had to see what was at the end.
Ein Toter hing im Netz (1960)
Perfect Cheesiness!
This is definitely worth a 5 rating instead of the 2 it currently is, if for the cheesy factor alone.
I love how the women's clothes are perfectly strategically torn yet clean, their shoes and makeup are quite important on this desert island, and their hair is always coiffed.
And what was that about uranium being edible???
If you missed this on TV, catch it on cult of uhf .com as episode 57.
The biggest mystery is how these women have such tiny waists but normal sized hips. How can I get a figure like that? :)
Almost forget, did you notice during the scene where the woman was passing by Gary on the way over the threshold at the beginning of the movie that her hand passed over the front of his pants? How very sexy for a 1965 movie!
Loving (1970)
A God-Awful Film
I just finished watch this movie and it was one of the worst 1.5 hrs. I've spent in my life.
Let me work backwards on this; when the final credits ran I was so confused by the abrupt ending that I had to rewind just to make sure that the movie didn't cut off the ending. It made no sense whatsoever.
Immediately after the fight scene, the redhead just walks away. You'd think she would have said something and wouldn't it have been better if Brooks had seen her standing there?
There is no relationship between the viewing audience and the actors, you end up not caring at all about the characters.
Oh and don't let me forget the biggest mystery of them all, and this really kills me. The part where the guy goes into the room with the drunk girl -- you know he's going to take advantage of her but there are no repercussions and no one ever knows! Why did they put this in there if the hidden TV cam didn't even catch him?!?!?
I beg of you all, don't watch this. The only reason I rated it a 4 rather than a 1 is because of the groovy 70's music and fashion.
Blue Velvet (1986)
The Worst Movie Of All Time?
I tivo'd this movie and was so psyched to sit down and finally watch it. I'd heard so many good things about it, it's a Lynch film, Hopper's in it, how can it go wrong? I don't know but it sure did. This has to be the worst movie EVER! I couldn't delete it from my Tivo fast enough when it was over. I kept hoping, beyond hope, that something anything would make this at least a 2 rating on my scale but it never made it past 1. I beg all of you to please, please, don't waste 2.25 hrs on this piece of trash. Taking out the trash is more interesting than Blue Velvet! How this can be compared with some of the better movies like Clockwork Orange (my fave) is beyond me. And to have a 7.7 rating out of 10 is absolutely amazing. IMDB really needs to come up with a negative rating scale for movies like this!
A Friday Night Date (2000)
Almost Too Horrible For Words!
I hope that this review stop even just one person from seeing this movie! Here's just a short list of the worst parts of this movie:
The dialogue was atrocious! Casper's hair color was so not natural! The movie seemed like 10 hrs long instead of less than 2! Did this Monster truck have 9 lives or what?? Why doesn't Casper have to go to work like he was supposed to? Shouldn't a limo driver have his phone charged at all times?
I'm giving this one a *2* and only because of the ability for the vehicles to stand up to this much abuse.
How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989)
As Bizarre As It Gets
Well, this is indeed a strange one.
If you're looking for something to pass an evening, and you have a weird streak, this is the movie for you.
I agree with the last poster, the ending was very lame, and frankly I didn't listen to it too deeply. I would have preferred some of the other suggestions for the ending that the poster wrote, such as having a boil grow on the wife for company. Actually, if the boil would take over on the wife like it did on Dennis, that would be even better. Or, if the boil head would grow ANOTHER boil head, that would be pretty keen as well. Either way, you will definately not be disappointed with this movie.
Catch-22 (1970)
Readers will at least be able to visualize the characters
Having just finished the book this evening, I RAN out to rent the video. I don't want to say it was a bad movie (it wasn't), but it omitted some of the most important parts of the book (for instance, it skipped letter writings as Washington Irving, the Chaplin's sidekick and the letters home, Yo looking for kid sister, and most importantly Nately's whore at the end). All in all though I was at least able to visualize the characters I had just read about and put everything into perspective. Think of this movie not as a full account of the book but sort of as a summary of Heller's story.
Being John Malkovich (1999)
A Movie That Makes You Think ...
First let me state that I just finished watching this movie an hour ago. I can't get it out of my mind! A definate 10 out of 10. This movie is so gripping, the almost 2-hours will pass quickly, too quickly. The mind of the writer of this must be very warped indeed. If this isn't a cult classic, I don't know what is. If you loved "A Clockwork Orange" and "Oh Lucky Man!" and that genre, you'll love this. Having John M. be the main person in this film is ingenious; he is not as a previous writer stated as popular as Brad Pitt or Madonna, and that's the point. I will forever remember this movie whenever I see John M. Why it didn't win every category at the Oscars is beyond me. Trust me, what do you have to lose? $3 at Blockbuster?? Oh, and get the DVD version -- the bizarre 'extras' are kind of interesting to watch when winding down after the movie.
