Funny how we can't have offbeat, goofy variety shows like this anymore. And Kiss in their early days....
For those unfamiliar with JC, this is probably the introduction of the bastard that he is/has to be. And how/why he suffers for it.
Not much of a comedy more so than a political satire and nods to various other movies.
Its like a tribute to Romero at some points (especially with the cars, the clothing, etc) and the underlying political jabs (which Romero did). And Tilda Swinton's character is a nod to Phantasm (although a samurai sword wielding one). You can see the jabs about how the government avoids climate change, ignores how minorities are treated and even the separation of children under white dominant males (if they are in Centerville Juvenile Detention Center, why label their clothes just CDC).
It was good and fun and had moments. Everyone did pretty well, but DVD really steals the show.
The music was good, but none of them seem to have the "sing along" quality of the originals. A little more complex on this ones lyrics.
Funny and meaningful movie.
How I miss Robin Williams. He was so great in this movie. Nathan Lane and Hank Azria were awesome as well.
Such a young Ewan McGregor - and oh the hair he has in this movie. LOL.
An early start from the amazing Toni Collette.
I'd say this one was good not great story wise. Animation is pretty good though. There's a couple of things you miss if you don't watch it closely:
The roach acting like it's having sex with a small stuffed animal.
The bus balanced on a garbage heap.
The Chuck Norris poster.
I swear the bottle of beer he pulls out of the cooler is very similiar to a Sierra Nevada beer but using fake names.
Quite the cast. We started watching this because of Bill Nighy (who does an excellent job) but seeing Tara Fitzgerald (before Game of Thrones), a young Henrey Cavill (pre-The Tudors and Man of Steel), an older Henry Thomas (Elliot from E.T.), Rose Byrne (pre Moira from the X-Men movies) and Marc Blucas (who I mostly know from Buffy the Vampire Slayer series).
The movie deals with love. It is a romance (not really a comedy), but it doesn't end with the normal everyone gets what they want and live happily ever after.
Star studded cast for the time. It's a decent, updated version of The Haunting of Hill House book by Shirley Jackson. Best watched late at night in a dark room.
Well done. Jason Statham does some great acting (not much action for him, more just his acting). And Saffron - just wow. A great cast. Although seeing David Suchet as a bad guy (kind of) is interesting....
So much talent in this movie. know I'm just getting around to it almost 14 years later, but still cool to see how far much of this talent has come over that time period.
It's a good movie full of great talent. I can't necessarily say it's a heart warming story, but it is thought provoking.
John Goodman was great as the mature Steve Mills. The Marienne role was perfect for Mary Steenburgen.
It is funny to see Elden Henson in the small role of the 2005 production but more major (as young Steve Mills) in the short film from 1990 of the same name. Then of course, he's known as Foggy Nelson today.....
Nigel Hawthorne is amazing in this role. Helen Mirren is amazing as always. So much talent that comes into their own over the next 20+ years.
Such an amazing cast! And every time we watch it, we discover someone new that we see in other movies and tv shows!
Still a fun 80s classic vampire flick. So many things remind me of the Hammer vampire films!
Always a fan of Roddy McDowall!
It was fun.
Seeing Santa sing is cliche, but the actual "Elvis" tribute associated with it brings back when he actually Played Elvis in a made for TV movie way back when (1978)...and funny enough directed by John Carpenter. The beginning of their fun adventures.
I prefer the first one but this one is fun because of the cast - Wesley, Ron Perlman, Norma Reedus, Donnie Yen, Danny John-Jules, and so on...
It’s fun rewatching this and seeing all the stars of the time. Personally I think Finley overacted in this movie but really enjoyed him in movies he did much later on.
Still a great movie!
This was my introduction into Toni Collette who is such an awesome talent!
Nicholson does an awesome job on crazy!
I’ve prob seen this movie 15+ times over the last 35+ years and it doesn’t get old. The descent to madness is still well done.
Could the Black Spring just come take all of them please?
Say what you want about this series, but Frances Conroy is doing a great job!
Say what you want but Frances Conroy is doing a great job in this series!
Not sure if this is suppose to be serious or funny, but it was enjoyable. Hugh Grant was great as Jeremy Thorpe but Ben Winshaw really steals the series as Norman Scott.
Interesting concept being videoed on an iPhone. Story was fine.
Jessica Biel was great as Cora. Bill Pullman was great as Harry.
It kind of pulled me in. Lots to the story to keep you guessing. However, I don't know who you should really like or feel for. Maybe her husband and kid?
WTF did I just watch?
Weird. I mean I think I get the overall idea behind the story and just how bad Humans really are.
It was decent.
I think my favorites from this season was Evan Peters as March and Denis O-Hare as Liz Taylor. Lady GaGa did a pretty good job.
So I'm late to the show on this one and decided to watch it as it showed up suggested in Amazon Prime.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quirky and funny this movie was.
This was definitely better than I expected. It pretty much keeps you engaged. Great cast!
Still wonder on the Inspector though.... :-)
