Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The_Void Apparently this film was made because a bunch of musicians realised that it would be more profitable to make a film than to hold a big tour. I'm not a fan of any of the artists in this film; but to be honest, I'd rather them have done the show - because at least then I wouldn't have had to suffer it! Quite what this film is supposed to be is anyone's guess - the humour isn't funny, and the Leone spoofs aren't very well worked. The violence isn't shocking and the story isn't interesting - so what's the point? It's a shame really because the idea of a bunch of punks getting together and making a film has 'cult' written all over it, but unfortunately this lot couldn't deliver something worthy of the name. There's barely anything good I can say about this movie - not even the desert setting looks nice. There's a small role for Dennis Hopper, which is always nice; but the rest of the performers are all pretty dire. It would seem that the cast and crew thought that their mere presence would lead to a good film so the story isn't important. They were wrong, Straight to Hell is a sprawling, boring mess of a film and it's one that I don't recommend sitting through.

MARIO GAUCI I hadn't watched any of Cox's films prior to this one, but had always appreciated his knowledgeable input on the DVD of many a cult item (most recently several "Masters Of Cinema" titles).Well, this turned out to be a major disappointment – considering its Spaghetti Western references (of which Cox is a devotee and, indeed, the end credits include a special mention to, among others, Giulio Questi – director of DJANGO, KILL! [1967]) and the cast made up of several rock performers (who, apparently, had been convened together for a concert which never materialized!); though I knew beforehand that Leonard Maltin had rated it a BOMB in his Film Guide, so I guess I only have myself to blame! Anyway, the film is a test to anyone's patience with its gallery of utterly dislikeable characters (a rather plump Courtney Love being especially irritating – a far cry from her subsequent appearance, in both senses of the word, in Milos Forman's THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT [1996]!), hopelessly amateurish presentation and the inane attempts at genre spoofing…though, to its credit, the soundtrack is pretty good (which was to be expected, after all). Also featured in the cast are Dennis Hopper, whose one scene barely registers, and director Jim Jarmusch (turning up in front of the camera towards the end) as a baddie!

driver_8 This film has two of the greatest music icons in the history of the world in it. I am talking about Joe Strummer (of the Clash and Mescaleros) and Shane MacGowan (of the Pogues and Popes). So in that regard, you have to give it a 10. However, if you are not a Clash or Pogues fan, you will most likely think this film sucks! Why? Because the film sucks. But wait a minute, you just said that you have to give it a 10? Right (voice in head), I did say that and I did give it a 10. Because Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan are my two favorite musicians of all-time. So, they earn this thing a 10. Now, you raise a good question (voice in head), what if Strummer and MacGowan were not in this film? Well, I would probably give it a 1. Oh yeah, the story. Some people rob a bank and then go to hide out in this strange and isolated city in the Spanish countryside. There are violent and weird people that live there. So staying alive and holding on to the money will be difficult. Did I mention that this film has Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan in it? Yeah, I gave it a 10, but, it really wasn't a good....you know what I am getting at?

soytown This movie gets better everytime I see it. At first viewing I was unsure what to think, but it has quickly become one of my favorite comedies. See where Tarantino ripped the Jules character for pulp fiction from. See Carl the wiener boy rise up against his oppressors and become a man. Plus the damn Pougues are in it to. All of the actors involved, Sy Richardson, Dick rude, and the late great Joe Strummer all nail thier parts and Courtney love bugs like only courtney love can bug. If you like wacked out original comedy and you're a fan of the Simpsons or Family Guy than this movie is for you.
