I watched a couple of movies here and there…

Here are some...


Purple Rain

You’re kidding right? Prince… acting? He can’t act. He really can’t. He’s horrible. And so was the supporting cast. But damn, the music is great!

That’s the only thing that kept me watching. I mean, I admit, I loved this movie back in Highschool. It was great. Breakthrough. Dark. Taboo. Sinful. It was everything about music and sex and drugs that our parents didn’t want us to see or experience. So it was great!

Now… if it weren’t for the music, it would be nothing. And the music is great!

Where the heck is my Purple Rain tape anyway? I think I’ll need to download some tunes and burn a CD.

Just to remind those that don’t remember… here are some of the songs:

Take me with you. – One of my favorite Prince tunes!
Let’s go crazy
Purple Rain – of course
When Doves Cry

How I remember when I thought Apollonia was hot. She’s too 80s… too… pretentious… too… eh to me now. Funny.

Morris Day is so stupid and funny you just have to watch it.


Starsky & Hutch

Funny movie. Really funny. I’m a big fan of Starsky & Hutch the original and thought that the comedic team of Stiller and Owen would do a good job. And they did. This movie wasn’t made to be like the original Starsky & Hutch but made to stand on its own. Which was good. Both the characters as well as their relationship seemed new and the duo definitely owned it. Huggy Bear played by Snoop Doggy Dog was absolutely brilliant! They also included several nuances from the original series into this movie just for laughs. Just like the whole Mime thing.

And Owen singing David Soul’s “Don't Give Up On Us” just made me die laughing. I won’t explain, you just have to know what that’s all about.

Fun rental for S&H fans. And fun rental for Stiller and Owen fans. And fun rental for those who have never experienced either!


Sideways

I recently reviewed this movie and gave it some serious thumbs up. I watched it again the other night and maintain that it’s a damn good movie. One of my all time favorite character driven films ever!

If you haven’t seen this movie then you should. WATCH IT!


True Lies

This movie has never grown old for me. The partnership, the secrets, the espionage, the strip tease by Jamie Leigh Curtis and for good measure Tia Carrere is in it and Tom Arnold is hilarious! Oh, don't forgot that our California Governer takes the lead in one of his better films next to Terminator 1!!! Great action movie!
