Katakuri-ke no kôfuku (2001)
Perfection!
How can you make a better movie than this? Perfect from beginning to ending, I loved every second and every song. My favorite parts is when Richard starts flying. I love to see Ricahrd fly! Man, Shizue sure wases dumb though. I also like the part when Richard gets dysentery and has to change his pants. I bought the soundtrack and listen to it often. It was sad that Grandpa had to die, but they seemed to take it well. yeah!
This movie has one of the best menu screens on the DVD that i've ever seen. I think i watched the menu for about 20 minutes before I could even start the movie for the first time. I was so overwhelmed. I wish my family would sing together like that.
The Choppers (1961)
Monkeys in my hatband
For a movie that rhymes "Monkeys in my Hatband" with "I can do a handstand" for the lead character's big song, this movie was pretty good.
It's a movie with a moral that if parents don't look out for their kids they will start stealing car parts and shoot a bunch of cops. Does anybody know what he meant by "Monkeys in my hatband"?
I don't get it. Perhaps watching this movie on the roof of a supermarket in center city Philadelphia made it a bit more entertaining.
I hope that Arch Hall Jr. is one day recognized as the genius he is.
Tanin no kao (1966)
whiny faceless guys complains
This is a nice movie about a whiny faceless complaining. There is another half faceless who has her face licked by her brother before walking into the ocean to die. the whiny faceless has a nice beard which he uses to try to trick a retard girl. his wife is not impressed. i give it 7. the doctor is a sicko and wants everyone to be faceless because he says there would be no crime that way. i don't get what he meant by that. i guess he's referring to the low crime rate in china. i don't know what i meant by that. anyway, it makes u think a lot. i suggest you get your hands on a copy of this gem. It's very cerebral in that way. Sometimes when i was watching this movie, i couldn't help thinking if i had the power to change my face, who i would try to seduce. i don't think it would be my wife like this guy did, mostly because i don't have a wife. if you are going for a faceless theme, this movie makes a good double feature with Eyes Without A Face. that's a french film. This movie should not be confused with the Mel Gibson classic Man Withoug A Face.
Scared to Death (1980)
fun low budget sci flick
I thought this movie (for being so bad) was very entertaining. The main characters are the biggest geeks! Especially the male lead. I'm talking about Dorkenstein with a capital D. It was fun making fun of them while hoping the monster eats them. This film seemed to merge cheesey 50's Sci Fi elements with 80's slasher gimmick to create a movie that worked on some level. Mystery Science Theatre would have a field day on this one. I must give it props though. The creatures actually looked good and were indeed creepy.
The Darker Side of Terror (1979)
creepy cloning movie
This movie is actually kind of creepy. Scientists mess around with some cloning experiments and of course get more than they bargained for. Somewhat reminded me of the original Frankenstein movie when the clone is learning and being educated at very excellerated pace. Does a clone have the ability to feel human emotion or is his he merely a mechanized copy of the original? Some ethical issues explored. Interesting subject matter that was ahead of it's time.
Switching Goals (1999)
Bend it like Mary-Kate and Ashley
This movie was awesome!! (Not quite as good as the Leif Garrett masterpiece Longshot) but still awesome!! I thought Ashley looked freakin' huge compared to Mary-Kate in this film. I wonder why. Who woulda thought they could swith places like that and almost get away with it. Dad was kinda a jerk though and Mom was a little too chummy with Helmit Head. I give it 4. Any one who likes this movie shoudl check out Longshot.
Kitchen (1965)
Why did she throw his undergarments into the litter basket?
A great film about nothing at all from the twisted genius Andy Warhol. Extremely surreal, this film deals with a couple carrying on banal conversation in their kitchen. How nice. Yes, it was nice.
Ice Cream Man (1995)
Clint Howard at his all-time best!
Clint Howard is the Ice Cream Man. This is a touching story of a little boy who witnesses the death of his hero, the ice cream king. Not to worry. There are plenty of happy happy days in store for the young man who grows up to be an ice cream man himself. There is an uderlying Converse Chuck Taylor sneaker theme going on here. Don't know why. Perhaps Converse put up the money for this little gem.
Seizure (1974)
Tattoo, Barnabus Collins, and Miss Togar all in one movie!
That's right ladies and gentlemen, Dark Shadows star Jonathan Frid stars in this shocker about a writer who has a recurring dream of three strange visitors who come to his home and reak havoc on all of his house guests. Herve Villechaize is wonderful in his role as the evil Spider. See Mary Woronov battle to the death with Johnathan Frid in hand to hand combat!
Eating Raoul (1982)
Paul Bartel at his best.
Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov are hilarious in this black comedy about a married couple who find out that beating swingers over the head with a frying pan can be quite a lucrative pastime. What to do with the bodies? Enter Raoul ...... Raoul is a trouble maker though and Paul is out to prove it. A must see for every twisted American film fan who hasn't seen it already.
