Junior High School (1978)
Hilarious!!
I saw this movie sometime in the late 80's, when Paula was first getting really famous. It had just gotten released, so it was everywhere. Now I could kick myself for not having bought one then, as I just forked out like $55 for a copy on e-bay!! I really love bad movies, so it was worth it! Poor Paula must have died when this thing surfaced! Being a Van Nuys resident, it makes it that much more classic! I only wish it were longer, and we could actually get to see the party they built up during the whole movie!
I don't think I laughed so hard when I saw it, and I love showing it to new people, and seeing their bewildered expressions. It comes up on e-bay RARELY, but if you can get a copy, by all means, do it.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Brilliant!!
One of the most harrowing, brilliant films of all times. Never before has a film left me so gutted emotionally. Every part is acted to perfection, every nuance of the film perfectly executed from the photography to the intense soundtrack.
I think this film really explores the fact that some doctors are just as evil, if not worse than the drug dealers themselves. The downward spiral of every character was felt to the core, with no "Hollywood" ending, and no apologies for portraying such brutal reality.
This movie was so disturbing, I had to watch a comedy afterward, and still couldn't erase it from my head. Everyone I've loaned this movie to has agreed on it's brilliance.
My favorite scene in the movie is when Ellen Burstyn is hallucinating, and dancing around the living room with a face full of smeared, grotesque,clown-like makeup in her coveted red dress. It just floored me with the desperation and immense loneliness of that character.
Highly, highly recommended!!
