Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

er..........

[20 February 2003]

this film is absolutely the worst. all that i could make out happened was a bunch of blokes got bummed and then everyone ate some crap. the worst thing ever. some woman tells a load of stories about people eating poo and kicking people out windows and then some guy goes and whacks off. i can't believe someone went out of their way to make this.

Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

Tom Green = Legend

[7/10 · 16 November 2002]

If you buy this and expect to see a film, you'll be pretty annoyed. But it's so funny who cares. This is basically the tom green show with some vague attempt at a story line. it's so stupid that it's fantastic. none of it makes any sense and it pretty much offends everyone, but it's so funny that i couldn't care less. if you don't have a marrow crammed up your bum and go 'oh this is so politically incorrect' then you'll see the funny side, otherwise, get bent.

Ticker (2001)

Not as bad as some people say...

to be fair, i thought this film was ok. the director kind of messed up seagal's fight scenes. and it would have helped if they had a better budget. the bit where hopper and pressly are in the car and she goes 'pull over' and then the car suddenly stops is kinda funny i guess, but only in a 'so bad its funny' way. and at the end they're just like 'aaaah yeh we did it, right lets go'. but sizemore is a good actor and seagal isn't bad. if the film had been 30 minutes longer so they could develop the story a little and had a bigger budget it would have been quality. as long as you set your expectations to the levels these other reviewers have set them, it will be a reasonably entertaining film, if almost immediatly forgettable.

Out for Justice (1991)

Have criminals ever had it so bad?

This film is the ultimate violence film. i'm not going to give any specific examples but the fight scenes are so brutal is hilarious. its not like one of those japanese ninja violence films, or evil dead type violence. this is like real-life violence. seagal plays gion fellino, a tough brooklyn cop, who is as the title suggests, out for justice. after the start seagal goes round giving a good hiding to anyone who so much as looks at him funny. the scenes in the butcher shop, the pool hall and the final fight are the best examples of the violence in this film, however they are scattered all over the place. its about 2 minutes into the film before the first person gets a severe decking from seagal. and its fairly brutal. the butcher shop is a good example of seagals martial arts abilities, but more of the fact that gino is a total bad-ass. the pool hall is the macho scene and is a ripper. no-one escapes a good decking. and the final fight is pretty much the harshest beating i've seen in any film. well apart from when like old people get battered but you'll see what i mean if you watch it. make sure to get it on dvd too. its really badly cut on vhs. overall, this film is an all time ripsnorter and probably my favourite seagal film, and in my top ten films of all time.
