Freeway (1996)

this movie is lame

[6/10 · 7 January 2005]

I know everyone loves Reese Witherspoon but she is by far the most interesting thing about this film, which is dull, violent and uninventive, and even her one trick pony gets old after a while. I don't mind being made uncomfortable by a film but I expect something, anything, in return. This film is a complete cliché, and I've seen Kiefer Sutherland play a crazed rapist one too many times now. I love cult movies but this is the lamest and most contrived excuse for a cult film I have seen in a while. Go rent a John Waters movie.

I was satisfied with the brevity of this comment, but unfortunately it was not long enough. Now it is.

If only the movie makers had had the same discipline.

Tough Guys Don't Dance (1987)

Interesting story, terrible dialogue

[4 April 2004]

and classically misogynistic in almost every sense.

It's worth watching, and has some really great moments, and some equally terrible ones.

I'm sure I could get a really great term paper out of it.

Terrible, terrible, cheesy dialogue from America's master.

Cheers and happy viewing
