Good Films Languishing in Obscurity...

[Wizardman]

“Have you checked the children”. Haven’t seen it since the early 80s but was totally creeped out by it. Carol Kane was perfect in it but was happy to see great actress’s Rachel Roberts and Coleen Dewhurst In it too.

The great Charles Durning in it too....him and Briaqn Dennehy pretty much took the same type of roles...lol

 

[Dogs Of War]

Another Christian Slater one.....True Romance,written by Tarantino with Patricia Arquette and James Gandolfini...great story and a fair bit of action....Val Kilmer and Brad Pitt are in it too.

" I like you Clarence....always have...always will.".....Elvis.

I watch this movie once a year. Usually when I’m drunk. Also watched the tarinto recut. All I can say about that is don’t. He does it pulp fiction style and changed the end

And the best scenes are Gary oldman’s “is it white boy day” . and then Dennis hopper telling the story to Christopher walken.

 

[Dogs Of War]

I need to add a movie. Dogma. This is the best Kevin Smith movie by a long way. Great cast. So well written.

Oh and Jackie brown. A different movie for tarinto cause he based it off an Elmore Leonard book. Very much a slower burner.

Bound (1996) - An underappreciated gem from the Wachowski... siblings. Mobsters and lesbians.

 

[Mr Angry]

Kungfu Hustle.

Came across it late one night very stoned.

Got to read, but worth it, funny with awesome fight scenes.

 

[The Book of Steeden]

The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001).

A little-known, but expertly-crafted love letter from the Coen Bros. to the noir detective films of the 1940’s & 50’s. Shot entirely in black-&-white, Billy Bob Thornton’s small-town barber senses an opportunity to escape his quiet life of desperation & the machinations that ensue make the film sparkle in that traditional, slow-burn manner of the film’s of yesteryear. Very wry, salt-dry humour throughout as well.

A great cast too, with Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, a 17-year-old Scarlett Johansson (in a greatly restrained performance), & finally Tony Shalhoub, who just about steals the show in every scene he’s in as a legendary Defense Lawyer from the Big Smoke.

As almost anything the Coen’s make, highly recommended.

There is an english redubbed version of this.

Yes. I have had a long held crush on Gina Gershon.

 

[Incorrect]

I've always thought The Interview (1998) with Hugo Weaving and Tony "Reverend Bob" Martin was a great fillum....

Yes. I have had a long held crush on Gina Gershon.

She was sexy as f**k playing a hasidic j3w in Curb Your Enthusiasm... If she could pull sexy off in that role she can pull it off taking a shit I'd wager....

 

[T-Boon]

Very Bad Things

A black comedy based on a Vegas buck weekend that goes wrong. Think Hangover but with a darker, nastier side.
All the main cast simply nail their roles with Jeremy Piven & Christian Slater as standouts.

Classic.

"I KILLED MY BROTHER!"
One of the great movie melt downs.
