Movie Reviews of Wild at Heart (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Wild At Heart - A deliciously disturbing David Lynch sleeper.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm sure Laura Dern touts this as her finest work, har har...
If you've seen any of "Twin Peaks" you're going to recognize some folks here.
I guess there are performers who really believe either in Lynch's appeal (financial gain) or just enjoy his outlook (They're just as twisted)...either way, it's interesting on a lot of levels.
For instance, if you enjoy quoting dialogue you're in Heaven here.
"My dog...barks some."
"Mentally, you picture my dog...but I have not TOLD you the TYPE of dog which I have...you might even picture Toto, from 'The Wizard of Oz'!"
"But let me tell you...MY DOG IS ALWAYS WITH ME..."
- 00 Spool, described by another character as: "This man's a rocket scientist!"
"...the way your mind works is God's own mystery."
- "Sailor" Ripley (Cage)to Lula Fortune (Dern)
That might just be a Lynch self analysis.
If you think Laura Dern has no depth you're also served.
If you enjoy slimy malevolence, Willem Dafoe straps it on. (What they did with his teeth...I'm stll scratching my head here...)
It's an interesting roller coaster ride of rebellion, blunt force trauma, lunacy and disaster. With a recurring "Oz" theme and a really beautiful vintage Thunderbird, hey!
I do think Lynch wrapped it up in a half - assed and lame fashion, but there's plenty of entertainment before you come to that.
Movie Review: David Lynch and Nick Cage at Their Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is about as disturbing as you will see-par for the course for David Lynch. But it is also much funnier than the rest of his movies. To get a good sense of Cage's character, when asked how old he was when he stared smoking, his reply was "I guess I was about four." The story digresses, disecting the hideose side of America's underworld-much the same theme that was at the heart of Blue Velvet. The acting was incredible and David Lynch always seems to pull in great actors, even for the smallest roles. A couple, on the run from the law and some real shady characters, travel across America to search for a home of peace and excitement. I have often suspected that Terintino's True Romance was inspired from this movie-who knows? The score was intense, mixing heavy slamming grunge slash rock and jazz to create a mood of anticipation and intensity. There were also movements of soap opera themes provoking squinty eyes and wet cheeks. Lynch at his best.Movie Review: the gang's all here, the gang's all SICK
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've seen it, you know... this is the stuff////After seeing Blue Velvet, pop this one in!
U can't miss it !!!! Cage as the Elvis wanna-be, Dern as the
Dorothy wanna-be, Dern's MOM as the sickie witch, Harry Dean Stanton waitin to get his ala "I can't stop her Johnny, I'm behind you with this big old gun here..." , Willem Dafoe kickin ass, even Nance (Eraserhead) as "Double Eyed Spool" ("My Dog Barks Some") Now be forewarned //// you gotta be a little touched in the head to enjoy this one (like my old friend JOE R.)
and this aint for the kiddies, but chances are, if you like this, you'll never have kids anyway (ha ha)
If Eraserhead wowed you, Twin Peaks confused you, Dune (probably disappointed you, let's face it), Blue Velvet shocked your ass, this is the trippy flick for you --- turn up the volume on the DVD !!!!!!!1
Movie Review: There's No Place Like Home...
Summary: 5 Stars
Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage from 8MM) is a convicted Murderer... er, I mean "manslaughterer" on parole. He decides to hit the road w/ his blazingly hot gal, Lula Pace (Laura Dern from Blue Velvet and Inland Empire), and head for California. The two young lovers are pursued by the various minions of Lula's unbalanced mother, Marietta Fortune (Diane Ladd), who only wants to kill Sailor at any cost. WILD AT HEART is really a brilliant, crackpot romantic comedy, David Lynch-style. It is loaded w/ cheezy dialogue, oddball characters, and just plain fun! Of course, there is a bit of the old ultra-violence and copious nooodity as well. Lynch proves w/ WAH that he hasn't lost the wicked sense of humour that made ERASERHEAD such a dark treasure, while giving us the perfect, wacky alternative to BLUE VELVET. Add to your Lynch library immediately...Movie Review: Probably Lynch's most character and story driven work
Summary: 5 Stars
As far as Lynch goes this is easy watching, metaphor seems to take a back seat here to the overall Oz theme. Its a very bright and vibrant film punctuated with brief periods of extreme darkness. To me this is Lynch's most 'happy' work.
Having said that in the film there is rape, murder, dismemberment, and plenty of tragedy. But in many of his other films, you get the feeling that theres horror just off the screen, this pulsing horror waiting to devour you. In this film you feel the opposite, you feel a certain light around the main characters protecting them. Hard to describe if you havent seen a lot of Lynch's films.
If your looking for a conventional Hollywood film, definitely buy this you've been shortchanged for too long. Get yourself some Lynch.
