Head Over Heels (1979)
Petition MGM/UA for a Proper DVD Release
Chilly Scenes of Winter is one of the best films of the 1970s. The film has a devoted cult and yet it is difficult to find in video stores. Why?! In an age where every Pauly Shore film is available in every format there is something terribly wrong if a film like Chilly Scenes of Winter can't be seen.
It is a crime that this movie isn't out on DVD in widescreen with a Joan Micklin Silver / John Heard commentary. It would also be nice to see the original ending and perhaps other deleted scenes. A "making of" documentary would be great.
Go to http://www.mgm.com/help.do and submit a comment stating you want the company to release the film on DVD with extras!
I Love Your Work (2003)
Self-indulgent garbage
This film was absolute, grade-A garbage. Adam Goldberg's celebrity friends should hold an intervention to prevent him from directing again (instead of making freaking' cameos in his movies!). Goldberg's artistic pretensions are what really wreck this film. There have been much better films that tackle this subject matter including the obvious example, "The King of Comedy." Goldberg's variation on the theme is an utter bore. An exploitation movie like "Paparazzi" is 100 times better than this pathetic plea to be "taken seriously." Tomorrow I hope to be able to convince my video rental clerk that the DVD was so bad he should provide me with credit. So, to recap. This movie is Hideous. Terrible. Rotten. Dreck. Ooze... Fubar!
Free Enterprise (1998)
Swingers Recast with Trekkies
This film suggests "Swingers" if the characters in that film had been obsessed Star Trek fans. In fact there is actually a holdover from "Swingers"--Patrick Van Horn (who played "Sue" in that vastly superior movie). This film has a few big laughs in it, but in the final analysis it doesn't really work. It is overlong by about a half hour (total running time an astounding 116 min.), you never really buy the two leads as the losers they're supposed to be portraying, and the sci-fi references mostly come off as forced. William Shatner's presence is amusing, but why does he eventually become a burden on the two leads?! They worship him, but they erase his answering machine messages! It isn't consistent. The actor who portrays "Rob" resembles a black-hair-dyed Kato Kaelin. The post-three-way sex scene was pretty damned disturbing and not quite the kind of experience many true Trekkies have ever experienced. Daniel Schweiger ("Schweiger") is going to be a star. Mark my words.
