This hilarious movie should be released on dvd!!!
28 March 2004
It's been a while since i have seen this movie, but i loved it & i personally think it's hilarious!!! Daniel Stern, Christopher Plummer, Fisher Stevens & Ariele Dombasle all turn in great performances!!!

The scenes which i remember the most are, the one where Fisher Stevens who plays an enthusiastic Photographer is giving Miss Dombasle a massage outside the window while Daniel Stern is sitting on Christopher Plummer's couch ( His Boss ) nervously eating crisps & Mr Plummer has his back to the window, so he doesn't know what is going on lol!!! That was hilarious!!! The scene at the dinner table which involved what i think was either a piece of butter or soft cheese & Miss Dombasle puts it down her bra & replaces it on the table, right in front of everyone, her husband ( The Boss ) is way too busy talking to notice this, at this point Plummer says something about making quite an impression lol!!! She also has her foot under tha table between Sterns legs in this scene!!! It's classic stuff!!!

Fisher Stevens also has a Dog called TIGHT ASS LOL!!! Miss Dombasle also disrobes a lot in this movie as she is trying to seduce Sterns character, she is certainly a sight for sore eyes!!!

I just hope it gets a dvd release soon, i believe it was released by Fox on video so it should do at some point!!! This movie is seriously underated & i'm pretty sure not many people have even heard of it or seen it, it's a pity!!!

I mean look how many reviews there are on here for it, hardly any!!! It deserved more attention that what it got!!!

The Rundown (2003)
Pretty Damn Good - Shame about THE WIRES!!!
24 March 2004
This is an enjoyable action Movie with plenty of laughs, it's basically a buddy movie set mainly in the Amazon Jungle! I was very impressed as other's were with the Rock's fine performance, he comes accross very likeable & it was interesting that his character didn't like guns, i thought for a while there, that he was going to try to & go through the entire movie without shooting anyone, but he didn't lol.

I'm suprised though, that nobody else mentioned the awful use of wires especially on the Rock during the main fight scene in the jungle, you can clearly see the Rock swinging back & forth & it's obvious he's not just flying through the air, he's dangling basically lol!!! I wish they would stop doing this, it looks lousy & spoils the movie i think! Romeo Must Die was another victim of this lousy wires technique & a few of the new Jackie Chan movies too!!!

Apart from this the movie is good & makes good use of the 2:35.1 framing & it looks great on a good size widescreen tv if you have one :o)!!! Make sure you have your dvd player set up properly so that your anamorphic dvd gets it's full use for higher resolution everyone :o)!

Duplex (2003)
Very Funny & Enjoyable movie!
21 February 2004
This movie Directed by Danny Devito is very funny! One of the scenes which had me laughing the loudest was where Ben Stiller installed a special device in the old ladies apartment, which involves him clapping his hands a lot while he's in bed with drew, that was hilarious! I've left out most of the details of that scene cos i dont want to ruin it too much for you if you haven't seen it yet!

Regardless of what other people have said on here about this movie not being very original, i think it has lots of originality about it, for starters the title is not something i have heard before that i can recall, so the title is original! I also do not recall seeing a movie where a couple moves into a house with an old lady already living in the apartment upstairs, it's usually the other way around, the old lady is usually the land lady!

If you read the message boards for this movie, people are ripping it to shreads on there & almost wanting to tear each others throats out for some reason lol! What is it with Imdb message boards, why's everyone so hostile???

Anyway take it from me this movie has a lot to be enjoyed about it!

Soylent Green (1973)
Was i the only person bored to death by this movie???

Warning: Spoilers
I must admit i had quite high expectations of this movie, i had heard it was very good & regarded as a classic's! Boy was i dissapointed, i was also confused by what was meant to be going on some of the time, the film just didn't grab me until the last 15 minutes, when Mr Heston is sneaking around the factory & discovers there making people biscuits!!! The people they used to make these biscuits where wrapped in white sheets, personally i wouldn't fancy buying a packet of these biscuits, yuk!

If only the rest of the movie had of been this interesting! It would appear that the Movie Coma stole some ideas from this & in my opinion Coma was a much more entertaining movie, not boring like this one!

Most of this movie consisted of Charlton Heston sitting around talking for ages & not much story happening!

I wanted to like it, but i only really liked the last few scenes, lets hope they make a new version with more story & excitement some day!
