Star Wars Gangsta Rap (2000)
Back then it was golden
This was something absolutely hilarious and catchy, something you'd watch few times over and over again. I've seen it around the original date and than not for several years, actually wanted to find it many times but failed, still rehearsed lines with friends many times. It added something for me. It has a unique perspective, which may from nowadays point of view hard to see, but was novelty not just as an unusual combination of the Star Wars universes with contemporary popular musical style, but had the genius of finding a combination which by the very nature of the components resulted in great contrast and a working parody even before the actual content would be considered.
Brewster's Millions (1985)
Highly overrated
I think this is just a regular boring movie, however the main idea promises so much fun that it makes this film really bad.
The movie is based on a very catching idea. Such situation captures imagination at the first glance. However that's all. This film fails terribly to make any use of this great situation. Nothing really happens in this film. Our hero tries to spend the money, that's it. No adventures, no catches. There are two twist in the plot. One is when some investment returns actual money making the things worse. Unfortunately that's just a moment, no implication is present at any later point in the movie. (To be honest, nothing really has an implication in the plot. Random events lead to no consequences, that's the guiding idea behind.) The other twist is one of the most cliché you could imagine. Someone hired by those who would like to see Brewster fail to acquire the 300 millions tricks him to still have money before the deadline to spend everything. The clock is dinging and there comes a quick solution. Whoa...
If you try to imagine what would you do for just a minute with such opportunity, you'll certainly have hundreds of better and more exciting ideas than those in this movie. The plot is simply boring.
Regardless of the performance of the actors, the characters are boring too. There is no interaction between the main characters and it is annoying how unrealistic their reaction to the events is. Everyone is in total apathy except for Brewster.
If you can imagine what would you do in Brewster's shoes, keep it at that level, don't ruin it by watching this empty story.
