Nightdreams (1981)
A letdown of immense proportions
Was I disappointed when I rented this! The movie seems to be edited by someone taking a scene and cutting ribbons of a few frames each and then pasting them back together to make a "psychedelic looking soft core flick". What I was expecting was the usual artsy stuff that I like from Sayadian (I just LOOOVE "Dr. Caligari") but with some hardcore action. What I got was a flick that just got on my nerves despite the great soundtrack. Where is Sayadian now, anyway?
SLC Punk! (1998)
great coming of age punk dramedy
I looked for this one in vane for two years and suddenly it was on my tv one night. Jennifer Lien and Matthew Lillard together in a punk movie, what more can I ask for. I had high hopes for this one and it was every bit as good as I wanted it to be. I'm just a sucker for to-the-camera narrative. I just love that stuff. Lillard is the perfect punk, wiry and aggressive. Lien was her gorgeous self. I'll gladly watch this one a few times in a row.
New Rose Hotel (1998)
Biggest let-down ever
I rented this flick because I'm a big Ferrara fan. All his earlier work (except maybe for "Snake eyes" which I found too slow to be compelling) satisfied me on many levels. In this film there is just too much of Argento. Sure she's had some good roles in foreign flicks but she just doesn't "cut the mustard" overseas. Walken and Dafoe are flawless as ever. They almost make NRH worth sitting through. And as for Ferrara, I hope he re-achieves such brilliance as in "Addicton" and "Bad lieutenant".
