Lori Petty before she joined the reserves and met Pauly Shore. Just as funny!Movie Review: DVD's are supposed to contain MORE....
Summary: 4 Stars
I adore this movie in a completely irrational, fan girl way. I know it's corny, I know that some people will hate it, and think it's stooopid. It fits the comic book style of punchy, fast action. Lori Petty quite effectively becomes the punk-girl she ought to be. But like other reviewers, I am quite, quite disappointed in the DVD version of this film. From the trenches you hear grumblings that there was a lot of edited stuff that COULD HAVE been put on the DVD. Why don't DVD makers do more than reprint what we already have on video for us to (silly consumers we sometimes are) just rush out to buy anyway? The picture quality of the DVD is not significantly higher than that of the video-- the only real bonus is that you can do still pauses and get some cool screen shots for that conference paper presentation you're doing... There is nothing more than the video on this DVD. Not even any nifty "Making of Tank Girl" footage, or sketches of other rejected cartoon scenes, or whatever! Even an oldie/goodie Cherry 2000 has more than this one, and surely the DVD makers could have done better.
I'll just hope that Men In Black is correct, and someday, when we get the next alien form of media (I guess I'll have to buy the White album again) the next makers of whatever futuristic thing we'll all have to rush out and buy will heed this advice-- put more on your big media! There's no real reason for me to excercise my insane consumerism if you don't fill up my big old plate!
Movie Review: A++ B Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the movie in the theater, over and over on cable back in the 90s, and more recently, last week. I remember when I saw it in the movies, I didn't know WHAT to think...I was a pretty mainstream person at the time, and this was a bit 'outside the box' for me.
BUT I LOVED IT...and still do. Ya'll know the summary so I won't repeat it here, but Lori Petty is perfect as the fly the seat of her pants smart aleck who loses her family and falls in love at first sight with a tank, (Reminds me of the first time I saw my first car.) and goes on a rescue mission to get back her little girl, picking up numerous other oddballs along the way. One of which, is none other than Ice-T..he is the mouthy pseudo boss of the Rippers, kangaroo mutants who join forces with Rebecca and Jet Girl...who, I didn't even realize was Naomi Watts (!!!) until reviewing the credits.
As a mom, I will encourage my daughter to watch this movie. The heroes are women..and they are not only tough, but funny and real...or as real as you can get in a sci-fi B movie. (Ya'll get my meaning.)
It's just brainless, hilarious, raucous fun..and if you squint, and listen really hard, you might just hear the warning that runs throughout the movie.
Movie Review: I am of two minds over this movie...
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a huge comic book fan. I have been reading comic books since I was 7 (taught myself to read in English from comic books), and I have been a fan of the Tank Girl series since its inception. My love and appreciation for well written, creative comic books tell me that I'm supposed to hate this movie.
However, I am completely and unbashedly, illogically in love with this movie.
What is a girl to do?
This movie is corny, and it's cheesy (although, in my book, that's a GOOD thing), but it fits the twisted, choppy style of the comic book. Lori Petty does a great job bringing the twisted Tank Girl to life and the spliced scenes from the comic makes me squeal like a little school girl.
I can't explain it, but there is just something about this movie that makes me adore it above any other comic book adapation (with the exception of Barbarella).
Humor me. Pick up a copy and watch it. You might find yourself embarassingly in love this movie as well.
