I appreciate it more each time I watch it
Well, I love the artwork of Basquiat; add to that the fantastic actors (Jeffrey Wright is genius); the film manages to capture the essence of Basquiat's short but talented life in a celebratory and poignant way. As time goes on, this film gains even more relevance. If I said too much it would spoil it; there's something fragile there, but enduring.

"It" has "It" !
If you have never watched a silent film, watch this one! If you have watched many silent films, watch this one! It is on my favorite movies list. It is flirty and fun from an era past. It is a delightfully innocent film that will leave you with a silly grin.

Charlize Theron, Courtney Love

Sony Pictures, 2002

okay flick
I hadn't heard of this movie till I did a search for hottie Stuart Townsend. He's not bad in this film, but Kevin Bacon turned out to be hotter. He was really good and so was Charlize Theron. This was not your typical kidnap/ransom movie, and it had a pretty cool ending.

A non conformist for the ages
This is an awesome movie. Funny a lot of the time yet gripping to see all the things Larry Flint went through . I was purley fascinated. I am now reading his autobigography, which is also good.

Only the most obsessed and craven people will enjoy this.
sit back and relax folks we are gonna listen to Master Cobain talk about his dragic and unbelievable life while watching pictures of the places he grew up and listening to bands that sound like Mogwai or some other band from way the hell over somewhere far. above all though Kurt saves this dismal disgrace of journalism but the sincerity by the author of Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana ...

Keanu Reeves, Vincent D'Onofrio

New Line Home Video, 1999

Definately not one of her best....
This is definately not one of Cameron Diaz's best. In my opinion she ends up being a traitor in this movie. This is not a role that Cameron would normally play. Don't get me wrong, her acting is great as well as Vincent's and Keanu's. I think Keanu was the best one in this movie however. This is about a woman forced to get married...against her will. Then her knight and shining armor comes in, or ...

200 Cigarettes- one of the best all-time movies!!
I had seen this movie once on tv a long time ago since it was released in the early 80's. The movie shows the best of the 80's in the way they dressed, talked and partied- you will instantly want to go back to those days!! The whole movie takes place over one new year's eve in new york and is so entertaining, wickedly funny with an intelligent comic scenes throughout the movie. Everybody ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Punk Super Star Sid Viciousis Great !
This film got everything you could want. Gary Oldham is great as super punk star Sid, well Sid was much more handsome, aside from that he does a fantastic job with Sid's character. Nancy is played by Chloe Webb a very pretty actress who does a great job of imitating Nancy's husky nasal voice but she's really too pretty to play Nancy. There are lots of scenes that are really hilarious and it ...

Liberation Ent, 2006

A great movie with believable characters!
Why this movie never hit the big screen, I'll never know. Perhaps because Courtney Love was having problems by the time is was released, or most likely the reason is the subject matter - bisexuality. Lili Taylor plays a housewife who is unhappy in her marriage to a very chauvanistic husband and Courtney Love plays her best friend. Lili's character and Courtney begin an intimate relationship which ...

Celebrities: Caught on Camera
I thought this dvd was great. You get to see a side of the celebrities that they hide from the puplic. It lets you see that Celebrities are just as human as well as myself. Even though the paparazzi does egg them on it was a neat experience.

Haunting and Interesting
Kurt & Courtney is the haunting documentary, about the death of Nirvana guitarist/singer/lyricist Kurt Cobain. Everyone knows the story of Kurt Cobain, but here director Nick Broomfield presents us with a different story. As everyone knows, Kurt Cobain was found in a greenhouse above the garage of his home in Seattle in April of 1994, dead of an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound. There was a ...

Beat

Courtney Love, Kiefer Sutherland

Lions Gate, 2002

Awesome
This is a great movie for anyone with interest in the Beat Generation. Although the Movie lacks exact Historical facts, it does well enough in its own interpretation. BEAT is a Moving Movie that deserves to be watched more than once. It will satisfy most people that take a liking to the Beats' Books and their History.....an excellent twist to the actual events enacted.

Pathfinder Home Ent., 2002

Dreamers is a great indy film.
An elderly Asian man tours Hollywood's landmarks, ruminating on the dreamy power of movies. Suddenly, we jump to the American heartland, where two boys growing up in a strict religious community plan to run away to Hollywood. This playful, oddly forked opening introduces a remarkable new talent in writer-director Ann Lu. She not only sagely dramatizes the power of movies - that it means escape, ...

Eminem, Dido

Not bad...
This DVD takes you on a journey from Eminem's childhood to his rise to fame. It contains many interview clips of Eminem, however there are more interviews with other people talking about Eminem - which is ok but most of them are basically just stating their opinion of him. It also has no music or concert footage. The back cover is misleading as to what is actually inside. For example: "Exclusive ...

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001

Hysterically funny reviews
Yup, this film--which happens to be one of my all-time faves--is not for everyone. Way back a bit before Sting and Bono gave a whole new meaning to the idea of pompous jerk, British punker musicians brought a real Midlands working class sense of irony and absurdity to the world--often not only through their music but through their stage chatter. Some of the flat-out funniest people I've ever ...
