There will never be another. I must have watched this move 50 times when it came out, and it was funnier every time. This movie has so many absolutely classic scenes that I can’t even list them all. The jokes aren’t “forced” either, they just flow into the plot seamlessly. I love the way this movie confuses time periods and countries and politics into some mushed-up alternate reality.
I remember liking this movie when it came out. I just saw a bit of it recently, and it looked totally dorky. So, I have no idea what to write about this… I don’t know if I like it or not… oh, wait, I just figured it out – it was stupid.
You know… Dustin Hoffman makes a really ugly woman.
The only remotely funny thing that Chris Farley ever did.
A black and white movie… black and white life, black and white people, and black and white film. Anyway, I really liked the way the movie was portrayed from the viewpoint of the children… I thought that was done really well.
You’ve probably already seen it, so I won’t bother you with another review. I did like it though.
Kevin Costner needs to work on his swing, but at least it’s better than Don Johnson’s. The final sequence made this movie. They did a good job at getting to the real appeal of golf – you just know you can make the damn shot.
Imagination by committee.
One of the few old sci-fi movies that’s still very watchable decades after it first came out. Perhaps ahead of its “time”?
One of JCVD’s better movies… still, your probably better off just reading a plot summary than actually sitting through the movie.
Yes, of course I liked this. Like I even need to type this “review”. Terry Gilliam is da man!
Who cares? What ever happened to Kerri Green anyway?
I can honestly say that I’m sick of writing about movies that I haven’t seen in years and didn’t really love when I did see them. What can I say about this one? Just another way to waste away a couple hours.
Almost a James Bond movie. All in all it was good, although I think the investigator figured out “who did it” a little quickly. Perhaps that was just in order to speed the plot along? There are a few things in this movie that didn’t make a whole lot of logical sense, but what the hell. I hear that many women think Pierce is sexy, that’s probably a good enough reason for half the population to go see this. After all, I spend so much time talking about babes in movies, I guess I should give equal time.
It is! Just plain funny. A great satirical look at rock n roll. The best was the way that the musicians try to be so “deep” and “serious” when they’re really all just a bunch of idiots. Art imitating life?
What really bothered me about this movie were all the good reviews it got. This was an extremely boring movie. I think I know why it got good reviews though, all these ridiculous movie critics care more about the emotional side of war than the actual fighting of it. Yes, war is tough, it brings out some crazy emotions in people, but that’s not all it does. Every single person in this movie had some major character “hang-up” which caused them to be dysfunctional. It was so overblown it was ridiculous. On top of that, the pace of this movie would make a snail bored. How many times do they have to flashback to some farm field in Iowa? It takes forever for anyone to say anything or do anything in this movie. The only redeeming quality of this film was the cinematography. It did look good. (and the pace did pick up a bit toward the end)
One of your complicated-plot, stylish (with just a tinge of comedy) mobster movies… well, not that complicated, but you get the picture. It’s right in the middle of the pack of such movies, if you like this kind of stuff, go see it… if not, don’t.
My favorite alien/horror/suspense movie… at least when it came out. (I saw the original “thing” from the 50’s – it was stupid.) This movie keeps you guessing the whole way through, and the ending was great. This is probably the only movie that ever gave me real “chills”… of course that probably had more to do with my being like 12 years old when it came out.
Just put on the damn sunglasses. I really hated that scene with a passion. As for the movie? It was pretty dumb, especially the theme music, which is stuck in my brain.. aaaahhh!!!!
And there was. One man’s battle with everything – himself, his family, society, and even God. When he wins the last battle? the best line of the movie – I’m done. This wasn’t a life changing movie, but it was an intersting character study.
er… Mary. I really wanted to hate this movie since everybody thought it was SO funny. But, despite my most cynical efforts, I didn’t. It was pretty funny. It wasn’t the funniest or best movie I ever saw, but it was worth watching. I didn’t get too much out of the physical humor (like the dog stuff, or the “hair gel”). The characters were just all believable… yet at the same time unbelievable. My favorite had to be Warren. I think what made this movie work best was how nothing was “forgotten” or left hanging. Everything which happened in the movie had something to do with the plot, and it all flowed really well.
You know the sound of the Theremin, even if you’ve never seen one. It’s the musical instrument that’s famous for that spooky sound in 50’s sci-fi movies… This is a documentary about the instrument, it’s inventor (Leon Theremin), and it’s most famous virtuoso, Clara Rockmore. Thankfully, the documentary was made just before some of the key players died. I was really impressed to hear & see Clara Rockmore play the Theremin with a serious, professional attitude & skill. I guess it’s proof that the beauty of music isn’t in the way the music is created, but in how it’s played and heard.
I didn’t really understand the appeal of this one. It felt like watching the life of a middle-aged man who is trying to get a date with a fat divorcee. (Not literally, but it was about that exciting)
Just a lot of fun… and so fast-paced that I think the whole thing was really only one scene (maybe two). Plus, it had a great ending that didn’t cop-out. Stay tuned for T4: The Governator.
Cool, but for different reasons than T1. This one made up for “less originality” with “better effects” and more action. It was indeed a fun movie to watch.
