Hen (1997)
Love it or hate it
If you are not the kind of person who likes Japanese animation sex comedies, don't bother to see this. If you do like them, though, then I recommend this video. It's funny and sexy and kind of sweet, too. The heroine, Chizuru, is as big-breasted as they come, so if you hate sexist objectification of women, you won't like this. I, however, live for it, so I loved this video.
Ultimo tango a Parigi (1972)
Gives art films a bad name
I rented this movie because I had heard a lot about Marlon Brando's performance and the beauty of Maria Schneider. I don't know if I have ever regretted a movie rental more.
This was the most hopelessly confusing jumble of nonsense I have ever seen. About halfway through I actually started to look for even a single line of dialogue that made sense. Not one did. None of the characters' actions seemed to make any sense, either. I'm actually proud of being able to figure out even the most basic plot points of the film. If you could understand this movie, then I congratulate you and hope you enjoyed it. Personally, I feel as if two hours of my life have been robbed.
Village of the Damned (1995)
Gripping
My mother turned on Village of the Damned one evening because Christopher Reeve was in it. I knew absolutely nothing about it beyond the fact that there was a movie by that title. After ten minutes I was completely hooked. After it was over I thought about it and realized there were some flaws, but still, while it lasted I was fascinated. I recommend it.
Hell's Kitchen (1998)
Pretty good
I found this movie to be solidly entertaining. I was fascinated by the character of Johnny Miller. This was a guy surrounded by ugliness who, with one misstep, could have been consumed by it. However, simply by being who he was and doing what he knew to be right he redeemed himself and those around him. A lot of people in the world would do well to follow his example, and I hope a lot of people will see this movie and enjoy it.
