Movie Reviews of Willard
Movie Review: finally
Summary: 5 Stars
i finally got to see this amazing movie, because when it came out in theaters it was VERY limited and only out for two weeks. i just have to say that this movie, on every level was perfect. Crispin Glovers performance as Willard was stellar. the mood was creepy, and the story provided some excellent humor. this movie should have been a far greater success than it was. Willard is proof once again that most critics simply don't get it. on the dvd of this movie is a documentary of the making of Willard. this has to be the saddest, most real, expression of Hollywood and how an artist has to compromise, i've ever seen. definitely painful to watch, it will make you despise the moron's that only want to see the 'jump out of your seat' teenage slasher/horror film, and that simply cannot comprehend a very Hitchcock inspired, beautiful and funny film with heart.Movie Review: Best Movie Ever?
Summary: 5 Stars
To me, yes. I don't know why, but this movie really struck a nerve with me. I'm not the person AT ALL to see a movie and be like oh its the best ever, but I am now. I'm very very picky with movies and only a few deserve 5 stars in my book (Blade Runner, ROcky Horror Picture Show, Lord of the Rings). RHPS is my all-time fave, but it may just be ousted by Willard. I think Crispin Glover is marvelous in this movie. His facial expressions and emotional delivery is such that only he could deliver. I've never seen anybody so convincing in a role( that could be slightly disturbing) Anyway, if you are a complete animal lover, this may not be for you. I adore animals and spend every waking minute with them, and some scenes were really sad (Poor Kitty). But, nonetheless, I still adored this movie. It is my new obsession. Again, don't ask why. Just see it.Movie Review: Great movie. Let the word out!
Summary: 5 Stars
Willard is a highly underrated film. Millions of people will go see the queen of garbage teen movies, yet I hear nothing about this movie that has all the classic ingredients of a horror movie. Of course there are some flaws, but nothing compared to recent horror movies I have seen lately. Crispin Glovers work however, was flawless.The thing that really caught my attention was the filming. The shots in the house are amazing. The camera work in general was amazing. The movie is also done in a very tasteful manner. Not much gore, and the one scene with the internet `porn' surprised me with it's tastefulness on just getting the gist of the idea by showing women in swimsuits instead of full nudity. (I don't know if it was changed from the theater version or not, either way, I found it very classy.)
All around, it's a very good movie!
Movie Review: unexpected delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey! If you love horror movies (think Psycho) then you will watch this movie and be delighted by Crispin Glover's performance. I hadnt noticed Mr. Glover in his many supporting roles (including Charlie's Angels Thin Man), it was thru Williard that he caught my eye.
Crispin Glover plays a quirky young man who has no control over his own life, but with the help of a few small friends, gradually makes some changes, (getting rid of those pesky things that often confine his soul.)
Glover is waaaaayyyy too intelligent for his own good in real life and wont ever be fully appreciated, but hopefully he will continue to deliver these great performances!
His shocking blue eyes and pale skin are a wonderful canvas when you need the opposite of "california surfer cool" in a character.
Perfection!
;)
Movie Review: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this version more than the original version that I saw YEARS ago. Crispin Glover was perfect for the role of Willard - he suited it to a "T".The film was good, but some parts were slight cut up and unexplained, leaving you wondering "what happened?". Like what happened to the kitty after Willard put him in the house with all the rats! After seeing the making of the film documentary on the DVD, it gave you understanding why things were "cut" up in the finished film. (They wanted a PG-13 version in the theaters, not the R version it was at the time). Also, after seeing the deleted scenes gave you an idea what you missed in the film (or thought they should have used that scene instead of what was in the end product).
All in all, I enjoyed the film, and recommend it.
