Retro Movie Moments - Badlands

Sadly enought, all the recent shootings in our country reminded me of this movie. Shoot film or video or dope or targets, not people, my fellow Americans!

Mr. Farrell, Please Report to the Principal's Office. Again.

When you've been a bad boy for most of your career, it is hard to break out of that perceived role so you can be appreciated for your quality work. Mickey Rourke's career use to be a warning parable to many an actor pursing that path, but now he is popular and working again so everyone has forgotten about the very extensive list of bad gigs and terrible life decisions. I suppose the worst kind of method acting is when you find yourself unable to escape the weird curve of your own life pressed tightly up against all those roles you've taken. They become one and the same.

And this is why Colin Farrell in Total Recall makes me reach for my hash pipe, not to add to the enjoyment of the film, but to make it go away. I'm sure he was offered a pile of cash for this ill conceived summer movie remake. He went and did Fright Night last summer and it was pretty good, but also another remake. And Miami Vice didn't seem to work either, but yet another remake, but of a television series.

Maybe I've watched In Bruges one too many times and I want something more like that. So as we all wait for that day to come or for Colin to take up boxing or do a Riverdance movie or some other ghastly project, go watch that again.  

A Short Sharp Shock Review - Total Recall

Total Recall is bad deja vu with a CGI hangover.

Not Everyone Loves a Klown

This Dutch Danish television series was turned into a movie and it makes Curb Your Enthusiasm look about as edgy as Three's Company. A few fairly non-spoilers highlights: mocking a child's tiny penis, man flirting, tour de pussy, underage kidnapping & getting high as fuck just once a year on strong weed (don't vomit). If you are still not phased, the television show has attracted the perverted likes of Lars von Trier who has written one of the episodes. That should put things in perspective.

So to surmise, if what you have read doesn't tempt you to see this movie, you are probably a well mannered, normal person. Please hug your mom & dad and thank them. However, K. Dawg Noftle and I saw Klown at the Cinefamily and we loved the shit out of it. But next time, we both are getting fucking cupcakes!

Update: Thanks to one of my readers for pointing out that Klown was on Danish, not Dutch television. My mind gravitates to Amsterdam. For the tulips of course!
