Spun (2002)
Been there, Done that
I liked it better the first time around when it was "Requiem for a Dream"
The content and style are just too similar to make this engaging...some of this seems to be directly lifted (like the style and "pupil" shot during 'the hit')
Diverging lives, fates of the characters all smacked of the above...OK, maybe the subject matter is such hat it naturally leads to these forms, but it was just too close for my taste.
I enjoyed the acting overall though
Hackers (1995)
At first just silly - until you realize it's a style piece
As others have said -
This isn't a factual movie...that would be pretty boring really.
It's a (literally in some places) day-glo cartoon feel.
In the end...that's OK -- I first hated it b/c I was expecting believable action -- that's just not what it is. It's a adolescent daydream - a good day dream though
If it's 3 o-clock in the morning and you have an ice-cold bottle of coke in a glass bottle - put it on..you'll enjoy it and no one ever has to know!
oh yeah -- continuity errors abound -- it makes it fun to watch to see what you can catch
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
One of the better freddys
Not that I'm a die hard fan, but I've seen a few of them on the odd bored evening.
This one was entertaining I thought, a little more "technicolor" than the original, but entertaining as has entertaining characters, "methods of demise", and reality shifts
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
A campy horror classic - with it's own style of cheese
campy, funky production values - kind of neat.
has a good "supernaturalness" about it where reality gets a little distorted.
It's a horror classic if you like the genre. Not particularly gory (there is some, but it's not really a gore film)
Super Adventure Team (1998)
Brilliant - Gen X humor, cut short by MTV
Super Adventure Team was a parody of those creey marionette sci-fi action shows of the 60's such as "Thunderbirds"
Sarcastic Gen X comedy that injects adult situations (sexual tension, etc) into the shows of Gen-X's past.
Cut after just a few episodes by MTV
I believe it was mismarketed, should have been on comedy central or "Adult Swim" Cartoon Network. Smae comic values as "Adult Swim" It was a little too Gen-X for MTV's younger viewers in '98
