Movie Reviews of After Hours
Movie Review: A mostly-plausible, tense, and hilarious comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a few implausible plot twists in this movie but that didn't diminish even for a moment my overall enjoyment the story. I completely related to Griffin Dunne's "everyman" who ventures into the dark, hip, alluring, yet frightening world of New York at night. It's not a light, comic romp through the city, either, it's a tense, confusing, frustrating ride. Ultimately, you're just glad that you yourself are safe at home--far from the freaks and the mayhem. This movie is packed with original characters and ideas. It's also further proof that Scorsese is a master with any film genre, especially when he's genuinely intigued with the subject matter as he so clearly was here.Movie Review: I'll have mine black, please!
Summary: 5 Stars
Black, black, black is the colour of this comedy from Scorsese, (one from his post-King of Comedy so-called "fallow" period) about a geek and his night on the town. Griffin Dunne is the poor schnook at the centre of things but with Roseanna Arquette, Cheech Marin and the brilliant Terri Garr involved there's plenty more to look at. Never mind the likes of Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Goodfellas or any of that bobbins - it's a testament to Scorsese's versatility that he still managed to make this work, even if he does have to enlist the help of Bronson 'Balki' Pinchot and ex-Sid Vicious bodyguard Rockets Redglare to secure it. He will be pleased! 'Surrender Dorothy!'Movie Review: Classic FINALLY hits DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic and definitely one of my all time faves. The dark, twisted plot is outrageous and wildly ingenious. Dunne is perfect as the poor Regular Joe whose life is turned upside down in the course of one wild night. It's one of those movies that continues to spiral every which way until the final hysterical shot. Arquette, O'Hara, and Garr are all perfect in this as well.
Scorcese perectly catches the paranoid urban drama/fish-out-of-water story and turns it into a hillarious comic nightmare. There are so many unforgtable scenes in this film.
Not to be missed and now to be owned on DVD.
Movie Review: I had a night like this..... I'm from Chicago
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say this is one of my top 10 favorite films. Every time I have a bad day, I watch After Hours, and somehow feel better. Anyway, the reason Im writting this, is I was wondering if there is a music genius out there somewhere, who would know how I could get my hands on the music soundtrack used for this film. Even just the list of songs/artists. I've looked everywhere, and dont believe it exists. I would however be willing to buy each cd seperately and put my own collection together. Call me crazy, but I love the movie as well as the music. Any help is gretly appreciated! Signed, that crazy behive chick from Chicago.Movie Review: Whacky and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking for some fun, a computer programmer (Griffin Dunne) arranges a date with a girl (Rosanna Arquette) living in SoHo. Going to her place he loses the $20 bill he's carrying (his only money). This sets up an evening of nightmarish incidents for our hero, too many and too weird to relate here. Before it's over, however, he is wanted by a vigilante committee that thinks he's responsible for a number of break-ins in the neighborhood. In a sense it's a 1930s screwball comedy saturated with absolute horror: Dunne is actually caught in a trap in a completely alien world. This is a very well-done black comedy.
