Movie Reviews of Something Wild
Movie Review: one of the great american films from the 1980's.
Summary: 5 Stars
With only philadelphia and silence of the lambs to refer to, I never could fully understand why Johnathon Demme was so highly touted.But After viewing this film I can see That Demme certainly was an American voice to be reckoned with at one point. This film crackles and gyrates like no other American movie at the time , except for perhaps the categorically similar After Hours.The way this film seems to be so thematically aware of the time it was taking place in is almost revelatory. a true achievement that all too sadly illuminates the sheer and utter waste of Demme's later career, much like what My Own Private Idaho does to that of Gus Van Sant.Plus the great American rock band the Feelies make an unexpected cameo.Movie Review: Perfect Casting, Perfect Direction, Perfect Acting...
Summary: 5 Stars
...I am flipped for road moovys and this is one of my faves. I get the feel that Hollywood doesn't know how to treat the fabuloso Melanie Griffith, but her range comes out nicely in this. (She has almost been placed in a Marilyn Monroe typecasting thing, but with this and a few of those lesser known Mela G. moovys, time is gonna show how great she really is.) And, boy! Wouldn't that be a trip to have evvybody's smarmy nightmare, Ray Liotta, as the (ex)boyfriend of some girl you've fallen for? Anyway, this is a good product that I don't mind watching over and over again.Movie Review: High Def
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this waaaay back when it was in theaters. One of those incredibly under-rated cinematic gems. What I liked most about it was the transition from a seemingly lighthearted Indie-ish goofball romantic comedy, to dead on noir. I caught this recently on a High-Def channel on cable. All I can say is WOW ! It was like I was seeing it for the first time, Déjà vu all over again. This film deserves a Blu-ray release, preferably packed with extra features, commentaries etc.Movie Review: A new twist on a love story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great twist on the traditional love story. Demme takes you on a 'wild' ride. Inspires to get priorities correct in life. An interesting evening for two: somthing for the guys - someone who get over their head, something for the girls - an untraditional love story that touches the heart. Let's hope that not every couple starts out like this. Great cast with Griffith, Daniels, Liotta (in a superb and very scary performance).Movie Review: best film of the mid eighties?
Summary: 5 Stars
this film knocks me out every time I see it. the acting is great and the story so different and original. Jonathon Demme really knew his stuff. Generally an all round brilliant effort and an unlauded gem in the opinion of yours truly.
