Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)

I liked this movie alot. WA's part in it really spoke to me. His and Mia Farrows relationship struck alittle to close to home, making this a movie i could relate to. The martin Landou part seems to be the inspiration for matchpoint 16 years later, with the relationship and it ending poorly. I really like the relationship he had with his niece, that was nice, and i think that overall even though it was a sad ending it was a really good ending. Alan Alda was really freakin funny, Sam Waterson was really great. The whole thing of the "good" brother having bad things happen to him and the "bad" brother doing bad things and thier being no consequences was an interesting point that i don't really agree with but i liked none the less.

overall i would say that i liked it quite well and is in my top 5 fav. Woody Allen movies.

Soldier (1998)

So justin at work was talking about this band called the replicants and said i should check them out, so i did and i was reading aobut them on wikipedia, which lead of course to blade runner and unexpectedly to this movie, a one of actioner from when i was in highschool. i remember renting this movie with my dad when he had a cabin on mt. hood on ppv. The writer of soldier was also the writer of bladerunner (screen play not source material) and he had set this movie to take place in that same universe. Todd is a replicant, a nova series one, so looking at it like that i thought this movei was totally cool, showing how they train them and all that stuff. but with out that knowledge i thought it was kinda cheesy but mostly ok action movie, kurt russell really does fucking rule,

i would give it 3.5 hot sauce packets. with the possibility of rewatching once a year maybe, every two.

Elvis the movie

oh sweet jesus i finally saw it. John Carpenter directs Kurt Russell as Elvis in Elvis the movie. and man i have wanted to see it for a long time. it's the only carpenter movie i don't own and had never seen. it's not out on dvd and its hard to find on vhs. i thought that kurt did a good job playing elvis. not an enviable job. It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than it had any right to be. The co stars were your basic tv movie actors not horrible not great. i mean what do you expect it's a made for tv movie about elvis.

over all i give it 3 out 5 hot sauce packets

would i watch it often if i owned it? nope, but is it cool to watch it? yep.

i never claimed to be perfect

this movie looks rad!

Everyone Says i Love You (1996)

This movie is really funny. Imagine, really woody allen making a musical. The story would have made a good story anyway but the characters busting out in song is really funny. Edward Norton is funny. Tim Roth is really funny. Woody allen painting himself into the corner with julia roberts. the thought was terrible and really funny.

36th chamber of Shaolin

I had heard amny things about this movie before i was finally able to see it. i saw it the the 2004 Grindhouse festival at the hollywood theater. Gordon liu i knoew to be rad, but i had no idea this movie was so great. I saw this along with the five fingers of death, invicible pole fighter and master of the flying guilitne all in one sitting. This was the real jem though. It has some of the best fighting and the best training sequences ever. the story is above average for a kung fu movie, but seriously that's not hard. Gordon Liu is freaking awesome in this movie and i can't believe it took this long to come out on dvd. Finally i can watch this amazing movie whenever i want. aaaah. Now if only 8 diagram pole fighter would come and on dvd and shoalin vs. wutang.

this a tie with Duel to the Death as my all time favorite kungfu movie.

a rare 5 out 5 hotsauce packets

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972)

Holy crap this movie is funny. It's based on a book very loosely, basicly WA took the chapter titles and made his own stories. There are seven shorts. One is where WA is a jester in midevil times, one where WA is italian, The sodomy one with Gene Wilder was freaking hillarious. this is a really good movie.
