Movie Reviews of The Big Easy
Movie Review: Not Quite So Big As I Remember
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to have this on VHS and adored it- it's a terrific film, with an unbeatable combination of twisty plot, stars that have incredible chemistry, and spicy music.... and yet when I watch it on DVD I find five minutes of the ending has just disappeared into the great old void at the editing room. Does anyone know why this part has been cut? It doesn't seem to make much sense, as without it, the conclusion of the film is very abrupt and disjointed... it's amazing the difference that one tiny little scene makes!
Don't give up your VHS copy just yet- not until those editors find that damn five minutes and put 'em back in where they belong!
Movie Review: Steamy And Spicy!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a terrifically original crime caper. Dennis Quaid gives his best performance as a corrupt but well-meaning cop. The underrated and extremely talented Ellen Barkin is also dynamite as the uptight DA assistant. The chemistry by Quaid and Barkin can light the screen on fire and they create on of the most attractive couples in movies. The plot is good, but it is the romance and comedy that leave the impact. Hilarious at times, great Cajun soundtrack. Good supporting cast with Ned Beatty and John Goodman as stand-outs. A Very good time. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film an 8!Movie Review: Great Fun, Despite the Silly Mistakes
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't get me wrong. I really love this movie and I watch it over and over. But that doesn't change the fact that it's silly and unlikely.The accents are silly, the locations are gratuitous. To believe any part of "The Big Easy" is to believe that everyone in New Orleans is Cajun, there's always a parade going on somewhere and someone could actually jog in midsummer without dying of heat and humidity.
Once past that, however, the leads are charming, the writing is snappy and the scenery is...well, New Orleans. What more do you need?
Movie Review: Good movie, but....
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hoping to enjoy the great Cajun soundtrack. We kept trying to figure out what was wrong with the sound. We finally checked the box and found out that they released the DVD in mono! Unbelievable. It's still a movie that's worth a look; but, don't expect much in the audio department. The story is sexy and romantic, and Dennis Quaid does a great job! I gave this movie four stars for the content. If it had been in stereo, I would have given it five stars.Movie Review: Really a great flick.
Summary: 4 Stars
The cover poorly represents the movie--it's a great action drama flick with a few cozy bed sessions, but the cover isn't even an actual shot from the movie scene, that I remember. I dislike intimate sessions on movies, and this one was not even offensive to me. I got this one only becuase it was 3.99 and free shipping. I scored. I'd pay $10 for it, easy. Watch this if you're into the actors, or a change of pace in good cop bad cop movies.
