Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n' Waffles (2004)
Don't order this off the menu
I'm a fan of the real Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles and this movie really lays an egg. RHoCnW is a weak story about a NYC numbers runner who heads
to L.A. to rescue Roscoe and his restaurant. Numerous subplots without
motivation come and go throughout the movie. Bad jokes are made worse by
belaboring them instead of moving on to another scene. With some script
doctoring this might have been a decent small film. There are way too many
characters vying for attention in the film. The acting quality is erratic, though a few actors seem to have talent and make what they can of the roles. The actor playing Shaunte is not only hot, but she can act! I wouldn't mind seeing more of her in other roles.
Die Siebtelbauern (1998)
Excellent
It's a very sad, but poignant movie.
Great story and locale. I thought the casting was excellent and I liked the strong female character Emmy.
It's also a great snapshot of life in 19th century rural Austria and dare I say it, class struggle.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
God's mercy on you swine! :)
It's not the best movie ever for sure, but it sums up the book well. The book is loose, disjointed, strange and wacky. I liked the movie and Johnny Depp was great.
If you haven't read the book, then the movie will definitely not be any fun. I don't think the film stands on its own merits unless you're familiar with Thompson and the book and that's too bad.
I'm not sure there would be any other way to film Fear and Loathing.
