Little New York (2009)

Loved It....

[9/10 · 1 May 2008]

I attended the screening in NJ a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved the film. It was three vignettes about different characters who are all tied together on Staten island. At times the film was funny and others grim but the overall effect was extremely enjoyable. Vincent D'Onofrio and Seymour Cassel were outstanding in their roles as gangster and cohort/victim. Ethan Hawke was also incredible. I was anxious to see the film because my 12 year old son and I watched a scene being filmed in our town last summer and was thoroughly surprised. I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys quirky comedy with a healthy dose of irony and drama.

From Justin to Kelly (2003)

Absolutely not the worst movie of all time

[10/10 · 9 October 2006]

I have decided to give this movie 10 stars because I feel that it has been unfairly vilified on this site. True, the acting, music and plot were awful. True, the music and dance numbers made me briefly consider killing myself. However, the cinema tics were decent. The movie looked good. Whomever filmed it did a decent job. Because of this alone it should not garner worst film. This honor belongs solely to Troll 2. Troll 2 has absolutely no positive qualities. The acting, music, plot, cinematography and just about everything else reached new heights in horribleness. Granted, From Justin To Kelly should rightly hold the title of Worst Musical of all time but for sheer badness, go watch Troll 2. Even the simply horrible Going Overboard was worse then this. Remember, I am not saying that this is a good movie or even a decent one. By contrast, it's simply awful but there were two other movies that were definitely worse.

Snakes on a Plane (2006)

The Citizn Kane of airplane snake movies!!

[10/10 · 20 August 2006]

One of the, if not the most important films of our time. Screw The Godfather, Goodfellas, Braveheart and whatever else. This is it. An absolutely must see film. This is going to do for airplane snake movies what Rocky did for boxing movies. I loved it and will probably go back several more times. I do not recommend buying popcorn during this movie for fear of it containing snakes. This made Crash look like Plan 9 From Outerspace. I am confused about something though. I think I remember hearing somewhere that this was a true story. I wonder when it actually happened. It is going to be a long 6 months waiting for the DVD. RUN out and see it ASAP.
