200th Mini Retrospective Clip Show Spectacular!
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
Theres that fuck awful movie where Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a priest and a rabbi trying to sleep with the same girl. An American Tail and For Your Consideration are both fun too. -

Babettes Feast is as perfect as a movie can get to trying to capture the essence of what Thanksgiving is supposed to be about. -
It blew my mind when I saw that JJ Abrams has a writing credit for this movie.

Episode 200 - Action Jackson: LIVE!
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I have nothing to add to this other than this movie was fucking awesome. Also randomly enough, my brother made Seth Rogen's wedding cake, so I hope he enjoyed it. -
Rom-com with a really creepy premise. Matthew Broderick and Meg Ryan team up to do terrible things to a generally very likable Tcheky Karyo.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to theandrewkelley's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
Yea this movie made huge money, but it did do well critically. I know that Rickman was widely and deservedly praised for his performance as the Sheriff of Nottingham. I think my favorite part of this movie is Costner trying to play Robin Hood like he was Peter Pan.- 20 replies

If you havent seen it I also recommend Raising Cain. Him playing multiple personalities is absolutely amazing.

As much as I love the original, this will always be my favorite between the two. Its just a fun movie, Danny Glover is so fantastic at playing absolute bewilderment as to whats happening in front of him. It really feels like Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon just kind of wandered into a Predator movie.
-
Even the trailer for this movie is insane. Why is Sean Connery getting so weirdly handsy with someone whose supposed to be playing his son? Crazy movie from Sidney Lumet, that posits a world where Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman, and Matthew Broderick are all closely related is at all believable. This was a movie where the entire time I was waiting for the inevitable ending where the twist is revealed oceans eleven style and we find out everything works out. And when it doesnt come I was overwhelmingly bummed.

This one's fun on a rainy day, but yea its pretty bad. What kills me is all the terrible dialogue where they describe what the various groups of mutants are and how their powers work. It really made me think this movie was based on a series of novels written for teens. Dakota Fanning's performance in this almost makes me feel like she was auditioning to be the fourth Olsen sister.

Really weird and not good horror movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Annette Benning, both of whom turn in pretty spectacularly strange performances. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/in-dreams-1999

I havent seen this in so long, I realized I couldnt remember if she was always clairvoyant. Or if she just randomly gained it after the death of her daughter? I'd also completely forgotten about the husbands affair, so maybe his prickish demeanor could be attributed to guilt on his part. I think this movie was filmed while Robert Downey Jr. was still getting into trouble with drugs, so his limited screen time might be because he just wasnt available or some of his filmed scenes were just seen as unusable. I mean if you look at the scenes he's in, his performance is completely fucking bizarre.

I have to partially defend Aidan Quinn's dickishness in his performance. Their daughter dies, and they're both clearly grieving. And then she starts acting like a straight up lunatic in his eyes. I think the amount of people who would take someone at their word that their daughter's still living serial killer is somehow haunting Annette Benning would be a fairly small percentage of people.

Family Business (1989)
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to Ofcoursemyhorse's topic in Bad Movie Recommendations
I think rose-colored glasses might be at play here. To be fair though, I legit enjoyed I Love Trouble when I was a kid only to be subsequently horrified when watching it as an adult. -
She really did, in a span of four years she was in the original live action Jungle King, Dumbo Drop, Larger Than Life, and George of the Jungle. Which is a pretty solid run.
-
She really does spend the majority of this movie behaving like a lunatic. The thing that absolutely annoys me to no end is the lack of any sort of connection between Benning and Downey Jr. As to explain their psychic link or whatever it was

Episode 199 - A Night In Heaven: LIVE!
Ofcoursemyhorse replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
Opening bike scene is amazing, i'm pretty sure the entire point of it was to show how unfuckable her husband was to her. That bicycle so needlessly makes him look like an overwhelming goober. It's also one of very few scenes where he gets any kind of a soundtrack behind him. He spends the majority of his screen time sitting in his dining room in complete fucking silence. I couldn't believe they talked about how quiet the sex scene was, and not how jarring it was when they kept doing hard cuts from the dance club with the music blasting, to him sitting in complete silence looking at a figure of a rocket. He gets like two big scenes with any kind of music behind it, the opening scene with his goofy bicycle, and the hilarious ominous scary music he gets at the end when he murders that dudes boat. Absolute best thing about the movie is the ending. Because its not even unintentionally hilarious. They clearly shot all the gratuitous shots of the husband fooling around with the gun to set up that he was going to kill Rick. They thought it was going to be a delightful play on expectations when he instead shoots Rick's watercraft, then busts out a smile and makes the jokey line about how he was just a little mad and not crazy. Which to be fair, it was pretty delightful. -
I think my favorite thing about John Lithgow is that he doesn't even try to mask his theatre accent. I can't remember a movie or role of his where he doesnt sound like he just stepped off the stage at Broadway. Also because I've watched every episode of 3rd rock from the sun at least 3 times, it's almost impossible for me to separate him from that character. So whenever I see him pop up in something, I can't help but wonder what Dick Solomon is doing there and how this movie is going to handle his inevitable reveal as an alien.

Apparently Tai the Elephant had a multi picture deal, because oddly enough its the same elephant in both movies.

American Dreamz (2006)

Didnt this come out like really close to the Bill Murray elephant movie as well?
-
The ending is also super weird. Not the part where the girl at his work turns him down, but the part where he finds her nerdy doppelganger. I would have been on board if there was another co worker and they both realized they a common interest in speakers. But for him to stumble on a woman who not only shares his interests, but is a long lost twin of a girl he's been low key stalking for the last couple years just seems really fucking strange.

They really thought that having the best friend be black would have affected ticket sales, which is stupid to a degree I cannot even put words to it. Such a weird choice for them to alter the comics storyline to match this one. It'd be like Dennis Hopper showing up in the next Super Mario game.

Watched this last night, I completely forgot how jarring it was to see Jonathan Davis's voice coming out of Stuart Townsend's mouth. Its so fucking bizarre that they went that direction. It also makes the scene where the keyboardist is entranced by his voice all the more hilarious. I also loved the fact that they cast people who were clearly having a good time playing vampires. I think 90% of the cast could have been instructed to bring in their own costumes and they would have fit in perfectly. After filming wrapped I feel like they all just wandered off set and decided to live the rest of their lives as their characters from this movie. Loooooved the actor who plays Marius, I don't remember him anything else. But he's just delightful in this, the scene where he's onstage doing his little mini vampire clap for Lestat after they fought of all the attackers is just wonderful. Thoroughly entertaining, but I can see why Anne Rice was annoyed by it, especially after it followed Interview with a Vampire which was pretty much as perfect as an adaptation of a novel as you can get.

It's pretty amazing to think about the fact that D.B. Sweeney was cast because they thought he added diversity to the movie.
