Dios mío, estoy en una casa de locos!

Lets just start tonight with some tailers you might have already seen before ...

If they keep playing this trailer they are gonna have to play this movie eventually.


Finally I get to see this next week!


To start off this evening the theater I was in was only about 1/3rd full but at the beginning of the movie no one would shut the hell up. The movie that the audience couldn't help but talk over was The Goonies. If you didn't know what it was about it's a group of kids embark on a wild adventure after finding a pirate treasure map. (and go back to the 80's you missed out) This is a definite must watch and a favorite movie if you are my age or grew up in the 80's. Not sure who it was in the film making process but some Rube Goldberg machines and needed to put them in the movie. This movie also started out a lot of young child stars film careers. A few of the like Corey Feldman steals the screen whenever some thing comes out of his mouth, Sean Astin and Josh Brolin have a great brother brother relationship whenever they are on screen together.

To actually start judging this movie even tough I have a great love for it, it isn't that well put together. Some of the scenes aren't edited together the best and some of the dialog is a little redundant. Not to take anything away from Steven Spielberg that story is really cheesy, especially the ending. The acting though done but a lot of young actors early in there careers is fairly decent, lacks a little at times.I both love and hate Chunk, because he is so annoying but entertaining, I'm not sure if they were all actually friends how they could stand him. This movie is full of puns and slapstick and that could be why it is so widely loved. Oh yea and the product placement was running rampant as well. Here are some awesome things that happened ...

Ah, Shit!


I just liked this shot.


Oh, like the bike!


I swear they just threw rubber bats at them.


Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back.


THATS WHAT I SAID! BOOBY TRAPS!


Heh, if you hit the wrong note, we'll all "B flat!"


Another reason to call him Mouth.


Super Sloth!


They'll be no more signing today or ever again.


Just in case you forgot ... Goonies never say die!

Next week: Fight Club

Well, a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.

This week I am going to attempt to talk about Batman Begins. After seeing this on HBO a couple of years ago I really regret passing it up in the theater on its initial run. I am not sure that seeing it this weekend makes up for that but it was definitely worth seeing on the big screen. I had my ideal setting to see it in the theater as well, barely anyone. I am gonna blame it on the bad weather that we are currently experiencing here, although the thing that could have made it better is if it was a batman double feature. (I threw in The Dark Knight as soon as I got home) before I get into the movie lets start with a trailer.

Apparently I Heart Huckabees ...


If you didn't know what Batman Begins was about it is the origin of an eccentric billionaire that dresses up like a bat (kinda), fights crime, and seeks justice because of the death of his parents. This is an amazing reboot (origin story) for that Batman franchise that was terribly bastardized in the early nineties. Not to take anything away from Tim Burton's Batman, which was also very good for the time that it was released, I feel that this movie fit along better with the comic book story line. Gotham City was really good looking, it had a gritty feel to it and did look like the city was a little overrun by crime. I really enjoyed Christian Bale's performance of Bruce Wayne, I don't think he has much trouble playing an eccentric billionaire, also I thought that Cillian Murphy had the right amout of creepyness to him to pull off The Scarecrow. The only problem I had with that acting was Katie Holmes character, I thought that her look fit Bruce Wayne's love interest very well but not sure that her acting was as up to par as the rest of the star studded cast. I don't really have much more to bitch about but I do have to say that if you haven't seen this movie it is a definite must watch. By the way here are a few things that happened to my friend Bruce ...

It always starts with a tragic opening.


An amazing feat of arm strength.


Discovering the Batcave.


The new Bat Mobile ...

Does it come in black?

Scarecrow just looks awesome.


Mayhem ensues!

Followed by a bunch of explosions.

An ominous precursor?


That's all for this week, and next time a childhood favorite I am definitely looking forward to.

Next week: The Goonies

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

This week I am gonna talk about probably the most played midnight movie ever, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. To start out this experience it was completely different that any other midnight showing I have seen to date, I am still trying to decide on how much I enjoyed the total experience. First off when I got to the theater a d purchased my ticket I was surprised the the showing was eight bucks, (compared to the regular five) and I wasn't surprised to see the theater almost completely full. I did really enjoy that a bunch of people dressed up like the characters from the film. It was like Halloween all over again, seeing people dress up in things that they would normally never wear. One of the only problems I had with the showing was that the movie was shown from a DVD copy, (I prefer to see projected movies actually on celluloid) and because of that there were no previews.

If you didn't know this movie is about a newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. (thanks IMDb) There were plenty of cheers and applause especially when Tim Curry first made an appearance. There were a lot of things that the crowed yelled out. (some of which was not coherent) A lot of what was said was very funny, it just makes me wonder how much was said at every showing that these people have seen. It was hard for me to follow the movie at the beginning but at about the half way point most of the crowed called down and just watched the movie instead of trying to be funny. I had never seen this before so the sing a longs would have been better if I had seen the film prior to this evening. It was a great movie to see and would definitely recommend it if you like weird movies or even a musical. (I guess) The crowd interaction was great, I have never seen an entire crowd into a movie as much as this. Oh and buy the way here are some things that happened ...

An interesting title sequence.


(No Comment) I just wanted to say that people actually started throwing rice in the theater.


These two are now referred to buy everyone as Slut and Asshole, respectfully.


There's a light, over at the Frankenstein place.

Most of the people held up lighters or cell phones.

It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right!

With your hands on your hips... You bring your knees in tight! But it's the pelvic thrust / That really drives you insane / Let's do the time warp again! (everyone in the theater actually got up and did it)

Meatloaf had one of the best and shortest on screen presences.


Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me / I wanna be dirty!

Chill me, thrill me, fulfill me / Creature of the night! (people were at the screen doing just that)

"Can someone get Dr.Scott a fucking fork!"


An RKO Radio Picture


The lazer shots were amazing!


The crowd actually spun the screen.


The only thing I wish I would have done is actually seen this movie before hand, I think it would have only heightened the whole experience. Well thats gonna be all for now.

Next week: Batman Begins

Bitch, I'm tellin' you the truth!

I never thought I could enjoy such a bad movie, and this was definitely one that you can enjoy. It has everything you could want in a bad movie, a ton of nudity, bad acting and a unbelievable plot. I never gave this movie a chance before and agreed with everyone else is believing that it is such a bad movie, and now I can see why it has become a Cult Classic. If you didn't know what I am talking about it's the fan favorite Showgirls. Which is about Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) travel to Las Vages to become an exotic dancer- a showgirl. She is doing very well at the beginning, and striding step by step towards the top of the stripper's clubs in Las Vegas. But when she meets a new lead showgirl, Cristal Conners (Gina Gershon) and they have to work together, the competition between those two best showgirls begin. Enthralled by the glamorous life of Las Vegas, Nomi Malone is prepared to do everything to be the leading showgirl, even if some very dirty steps must be taken by her. (Thanks IMDb kinda) But before I get into it here are some trailers ...

Here is a interesting movie playing locally that I am gonna check out.


And a Documentary that I have no interest in.

Alright lets get to the nitty gritty now, first of all I was expecting a big rowdy crowd and it was everything but. There was only like 20 people there (I did a head count) and that is how i prefer to watch movies but I was expecting people to yell shit at the screen and make fun of everything that they could. But they didn't and that I really appreciate, now to the actual movie, the acting was Terrible! Seriously it wasn't extremely bad but Elizabeth Berkley overacted in almost every scene she was in and that let to the unintentional hilarity in the movie. I can't completely blame her because the script was also not the greatest, I'm not sure if it was just the time of the movie (1995) but some of the dialog just felt weird. I can see what Paul Verhoeven was trying to do with the movie but I'm not sure if it worked out like he wanted it to. I'm not sure about this but ...

I think Elizabeth Berkley is trying to be tough.


I just beat the shit out of your car, threw up and you saved my life ...

now we're instant friends.

Possibly the best private dance I have ever seen!


It's the best meal in town.


Nomi: I got my period.
James: Yeah right.
Nomi: Check.

Seriously?

One-two-three! And thrust it, thrust it, THRUST IT, COME ON, THRUST IT!


I'm not gay but I thought that some of these costumes were definitely interesting.


Probably the most fake sex scenes in a movie ever.


This is what you get for raping my friend.


I will leave you with the best quote from the movie: It must be weird, not having anybody cum on you.

Next week: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Okay, you've got 30 of my fucking seconds. Thrill me.

I was surprised at the turnout for this movie last night, there was about thirty people. Which really surprised me because the weather was really bad (I almost died on the drive to the theater) and I didn't know that there was much of a following or love for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It definitely won me over though, I mostly credit it to Robert Downey Jr.. The last maybe half dozen movies he has been in I have loved and I think he has been winning over a lot of people with his fast talking performances. But first lets get to the trailers we have all seen before ...

Yes it's Fight Club again ...

I really hope they are gonna play this soon.

And Amélie again.


To start off I had no idea what tis movie was or about but I am definitely glad that I have seen it now because it was hilarious. Just to let everyone know what this movie is about, A petty thief posing as an actor is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition and finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation along with his high school dream girl and a detective who's been training him for his upcoming role. (Thanks IMDb) When the opening credits started up the first thing that I thought of was that it reminds me of a Crime Drama, or like a old James Bond movie. I loved all of the smart littlt quips that were exchanged between Harry (Robert Downey Jr.) and Gay Perry (Val Kilmer). Yes Val Kilmer does play an aggressive gay man which I have never seen There was only a few little things that were a little over the top, like when Harry gets his finger cut off when the door gets slammed in his face and when the gun "magically" falls into his hand when he is hanging from the casket over the interstate. Those parts didn't bother me too much because they were definitely funny when they happened. The only thing that I wish would have been a little different would have been the ending, the feeling of it seemed like it just didn't fit in with the rest of the movie. But anyways here are a couple of interesting things that happened ...

Yes there is a Werewolf in this movie,

Well at least kinda.

Drunk action heroes are awesome.


A sweet beer commercial.


Yes he is pissing on a dead body.


Harry's finger.


This looks like it would be the best Christmas party ever.





Well atleast it stopped the bullet ...

well kinda.

I think its gonna be really entertaining Next week: Showgirls
