replicant-one of those van-damme double role films. unintentionally hilarious!

Mystery Train would've been awesome if it had focused on the Japanese tourists the whole time instead of having the other stories.
Neighbor No. 13, just watched that a few weeks ago. Decent little film. Love the Miike cameo. |

that was the best part of Mystery Train. Their quest for Americana in Memphis right? |
This is probably my favorite and most frequently checked thread on this board. First time contributor, long time reader:

I'm actually quite surprised about Freddy Got Fingered, Adam. I've never seen it, but always heard it wasn't worth seeing. The fct that it would make it on yr list makes me think I'm wrong.
|
It's probably the funniest mainstream film ever. Most of my favorite comedies are well below Hollywood's radar (The Corn Dog Man, Period Piece, Bride of Frank, even SPACEMAN!!! are about a BILLION times funnier than the completely contrived bullshit Hollywood releases). But finally, Freddy Got Fingered, a genuinely funny movie and even a bit surreal. I loved it. Probably the last time we'll ever see genuinely trashy, funny, surreal humor in a Hollywood film. I saw it in theaters 3 times. I still break it out with friends about once a year.

I was at the drive in for this and at 1am we decided to leave because we were too tired to keep watching a plotless film. Photographically its really lovely though. |
![]() Great movie! |
Good Night & Good Luck - Pretty good, at least in the style department. It was a little anti-climatic, but I have never minded that in movies, so I was fine with that.
Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest - Loved this as a kid; it's a lot cheesier now. I just wanted Sadie to see the same movies I grew up on, so I got it. It is very charged with eco-friendly messages in a way to impact kids. The Heartbreak Kid - Standard Farrelly Brothers, standard Ben Stiller. It was funny. The Visitor - Great movie, although, especially in the beginning, it was was very slow and melodramatic. It progessed well though, and ended up becoming very good. |

I feel the same way. Ever see Chairman of the Board, with Carrottop? Totally ridiculous, but I still liked it, because at least it knew what it was, and it wasn't trying to be anything else. I think that is the case with most of those movies you mentioned, and I think that is why so many mainstream comedies fall flat; they try and become a really deep movie, and all you wanted to do was laugh a little. |
Ohhh, need to check that one out!
I really like Bio-Dome too. |
Yeah, I've always had an affinity for Pauly Shore movies.
|
hey lux, Hellraiser is on my list of 'perfect films'. I love it.
hey people watching Jarmusch films, have you seen Ghostdog yet? I like that one a lot. I'm guessing it's the reason why Tarantino recruited RZA to do the score to Kill Bill. |
Ghostdog is fantastic. Jarmusch is great at taking two completely different elements and making them work together.
