Movie Reviews of Road House
Movie Review: It is good...
Summary: 3 Stars
I watched this accidently initially. Its got an awful title, what plot there is has been done before and the acting isn't anything special, but do you know something its actually pretty good. Whenever its on TV I have to watch it, I can't help myself.
Perhaps its the oriental psuedo-philosophy aspect that appeals or maybe its just that I want to be as tough as Dalton (Swayze) is in this film. Might also be that I enjoyed the music by Jeff Healey as well, a great blind blues guitar player, who plays electric guitar flat on his lap.
Anyway it seems to hold up to repeated viewings, so if like me it grabs you (even if you're not sure why) then I wouldn't blame you for buying this.
Movie Review: A film of its time , just enjoy for its' own sake
Summary: 3 Stars
This wouldn't have won 'Best Film' at all , but it is entertaining if you are in the right mood .
The commentary by Kevin Smith was part of the reason I bought it and I was not disappointed .
A film for the weekend with some friends around , especially those who lived through the time it was being made , for the fashions at least !
In the end , it was a worthwhile purchase .
If you want serious film , buy a Criterion Collection DVD .
Movie Review: Utterly ridiculous
Summary: 2 Stars
Not a single second of this beefcake exploitation flick rings the slightest bit realistic, from the endless fisticuffs to the bottles breaking over heads to the absurd scenes inside the "Double Deuces" where the world's baddest bouncer has come to restore order. Moreover, we are expected to believe that an actual medical doctor would fall in love in a second with this overgrown battler and accompany him to this unlikely establishment. Still, it is amusing to watch Sam Elliott in his maturity. Patrick Swayze was riding his prime here, though the acting skills were limited to smoldering looks and faked fights with lots of fake blood. This plays on certain Tv stations about six times a week, for some reason. Watch for the absurdity factor.Movie Review: Dreadful movie from the big hair 80s
Summary: 1 Stars
A dreadful movie depicting men as macho s#$! and women as tarts. This was made in an era when people wore revolting tight stretch denims and hung out in pool halls and bars. It was also made to capitalise on the popularity of Patrick Swayze who had just appeared in the over-rated 80's teen musical "Dirty Dancing".
A very pointless movie is "Roadhouse". It does not deserve a bare bones DVD release let alone this new special edition. Is there really a market out there for rubbish like this, or am I the only one with taste in movies?
Movie Review: BAAAHHH! BAAAHHH!
Summary: 1 Stars
An instant classic, nothing short of a masterpiece. A brilliant script, flawless acting, and breathtaking cinematography. Will undoubtedly go down as one of the finest films ever made. Out of 5 stars, I give this one 10.75.......BRAVO!! These guys are the reason that all the sheep are so scared. Can't wait 'til they release the "Super-Duper Deluxe Redneck Special Edition Series dvd"........YUK YUK YUK!!!
