Movie Reviews of Paris, Texas
Movie Review: painfully slow and obvious
Summary: 2 Stars
this film is simply too long, especially considering the no-surprises-anywhere plot. I consider myself an "art house" film buff, and this is exactly the sort of movie that gives the "drama" category a bad name. I can't give it lower than two stars though, because it has lots of redeeming features like splendid acting, the music and especially the cinematography. But nothing can save a film from bad editing and an unimaginative script.Movie Review: Paris, Texas

This was an unusual story, unraveling as it progresses and memory returns, feelings surface, and it builds up to an ending that I am still not sure I care for.Movie Review: plodding
Summary: 1 Stars
One of the worst, by one of the worst film directors of all time. They say that Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space is the worst--well, how about giving the Golden Turkey Award to this turkey instead?
I can only say two or three good things about this dud: Nastassja Kinski is always wonderful--and what she does here is no exception. Robby Muller's cinematography is stunning. Ry Cooder's score is perfect.
As far as everything else? Forget it. Didn't believe any of it. Harry Dean Stanton, usually very good in character rolls, is unwachable here. Why? Again, this director has a gift for being pretentious. His flicks drag on and on forever. Maybe this "style" had enough people convinced to call it art and give it the top award at Cannes back in 1984. I don't know...frankly, I have no idea how this dull flick won anything.
Movie Review: Good Idea, bad, bad movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this movie from Amazon because I couldn't find it as a rental and there where many excellent reviews. Oops!
The bleak open landscapes and the mystery of a man walking across the desert create a wonderful opening scene. From here on out the movie goes downhill. I am a Generation Xer that actually has patience. I don't mind extensive dialogue if it has a point. You don't need special effects or action to make a movie, but a good story can easily be ruined by pointless minutes of footage. The DVD has a special feature of deleted scenes. That is really funny to watch after you have spent 45 minutes watching one scene of dialogue. Pain, desolation, and heartache can be portrayed by emotional dialogue, but the viewer doesn't need to suffer and suffer and suffer. There is a good reason you can't find this movie for rent.
Movie Review: I'm Physically Nausious
Summary: 1 Stars
I just saw this movie for the first time and I am sickened by the positive reviews it has gotten. Are we living on alternate planets? This was a HORRIBLE movie. The storyline and the characters were all completely unbelievable. The acting was so bad I sometimes didn't believe they were professional actors on the screen. I muscled through it hoping that something would eventually happen to redeem the movie. Even though I spent no money to watch this I am going to send a bill back to the makers of this movie for compensation for wasting my time and brain cells. I hope I will be able to keep my dinner down tonight. Do yourself a favor if you see it on cable, keep flipping channels. The shopping channel would be more interesting.
