Movie Reviews of Being John Malkovich
Movie Review: Humorous Twist On Mind and Body
Summary: 5 Stars
Craig starts as a nobody Puppeteer until one day he finds himself as a well-mannered actor after discovering a miniature doorway where he works. It is a portal that leads to the mind and body of John Malkovich. For 200.00 Craig and his hard-to-get co-worker lets anyone access the portal; where love making with wild women and his daily habits can be experienced. Unfortunately for most it only last 15 minutes. This movie plays on many philosophical and psychological abstracts such as mind, consciousness, sub consciousness and private thought and diffuses them out with humor and sexual wits.Movie Review: One of the most original films I've seen
Summary: 5 Stars
For the past decade, films seem to be a rehash of the same old plots. Being John Malkovich is the exception and a very enjoyable one at that. Even knowing the basic plot or ending can't prepare you for the actual film. It's entertaining, creative, original, surprising, and best of all - unpredictable. As incrediable and unrealistic as the plot may seem to be, the acting and direction make the film believable. I found myself easily going along for the ride that comes from taking opportunistic advantage of an accedental discovery.Movie Review: Strange classic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? It is a weird movie, but if that is your kind of humor, this is the classic movie for you. Tired of love stories, chick flicks or adventure. Do you want to watch a movie purely for fun? This is your kind of movie. I could not even find it at the Movie Rental Store. This not-so-well known gem is the kind of movie that attracts a certain special group of people who are fans of John Malkovich and his kind of off-beat characters. It grows on you. You have to watch it a few times to get it. Usually, that is.Movie Review: Hilarious and quirky
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most original, quirky and hilarious movies I have ever seen. In fact, it is the most original, quirky and hilarious movie I have ever seen. How these guys--Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze ever came up with this is beyond me. I want more films and books etc from these guys. I highly recommend this movie, but with the caveat that it may not be funny the movie for everyone. You probably need to be off-kilter a little bit to really enjoy this movie.Movie Review: MAGICAL
Summary: 5 Stars
To call BEING JOHN MALKOVICH a work of genius seems inadequate. Kaufman's script is so strikingly original, and Spike Jonze's direction so adroit it restored my faith in Hollywood. The cast from John Cusack, Cameron Diaz ( in my favorite Diaz-role ), John Malkovich, Catherine Keener, and Orson Bean, are terrific.
The only experience I can equate this movie to is my first bungey jump. You'll laugh, you may even cry, but you won't be bored by this film.
