Bio-Dome (1996)
You guys keep hating it, I'll keep enjoying it!
You know... it is pretty darn funny to me why people waste their time on here complaining about how bad a movie was! If you don't like it, great. Post your 1 rating and move on. However, people decide to dwell, leaving messages and posts about how completely terrible this movie is. Noting that the only way to enjoy it is while you are high. Don't you people have anything better to do. The only time I ever post on here is to leave praise for a movie. I figure if a movie is completely terrible, I will post my 1 or 2 rating and move on. Said movies don't deserve my time. Bio-Dome has obviously accomplished something if people are still complaining about it nearly a decade later.
So you think Pauley Shore is a crappy actor, great. Does that mean that this movie automatically sucks? NO. If you go into this movie not expecting much, you can't help but have a good time! The comedy in this movie is no different from any Sandler, Farley, Spade, or otherwise flick. This movie is all about having fun!
Try watching this on one of those weekend nights with group of buddies when you are in a retarded mood and I challenge you not to enjoy it. No, I'm not talking about getting high (I have never and will never "get high" and I still love movies like this and half-baked... sorry guys, there goes you stoner flick stereotype).
I love this movie, every time I watch it I see subtle things that stick out that make it even more enjoyable. Check out that midget towards the end when they are dancing to the "Safety Dance." That little guy is straight out of the music video... classic!
I gave this movie a 10 for sheer enjoyment. I can watch it over and over again still love it. Sorry guys, I'm not just some idiot "stoner" either... I love Citizen Kane, Kevin Smith Films, Dr. Strangelove, Brazil, and probably whatever other "smart" or "artsy" films you want to throw my way. Sometimes you people have to start liking movies on your own, for your own enjoyment, apart from what society, the AFI, or even this site tells you you should like. I'll leave you all with a few of my favorite parts in the movie.
-Breaststrokers...
-I'm a sherman tank!
-So... what you're really trying to say is...
-Let's get that mother-faulkner!
-I don't think he like the way you played with his coconuts...
-Is that laughing gas? No way...
-I feel like a duck billed platypus... quaaaack quaaack.
-Remember... here at Bio-Dome we strive on balancing homos, within the system.
Viva Los Bio-Dome!
The Boondock Saints (1999)
BOONDOCK SAINTS... THE BEST MOVIE NO ONE'S SEEN
Had it not been for the tragedy at Columbine, this movie would have hit the country with a fury and Connor, Murphy, Rocco, and Il Duce would be household names. Yes, it is a tragedy in itself that this movie did not receive the theatrical release it so well deserved. After Columbine, anything involving guns and black overcoats was frowned upon, and so beings the story of the BOONDOCK SAINTS. I bought this movie on advice from a friend who told me it was good. GOOD, my friends, is an understatement.
This movie follows the story of two Irish brothers living in an Irish neighborhood. They are very religious and church-faring. When they attend a sermon one day, about how a good man's indifference is just as bad as an evil man, it plants a seed in them. Pretty soon the Russian mafia starts strong-arming their way into their neighborhood, our two brothers are left with only one choice, action, over indifference. So the movie unfolds and we follow our brothers through a movie which is told in outstanding fashion. We get to see them many times getting ready for a huge action sequence, and then the movie cuts away and we see the crime scene afterwards being ran through by FBI agent Paul Smecker (Dafoe of Spiderman fame). He examines each bloody scene and then tells the local police, and the audience just what transpired... and this is a real treat for us. You have to just see these scenes unfold to truly appreciate them. I have not quite seen another movie that unfolds quite like BDS and does it with such outstanding results!
The other great thing about this movie is its dialog and acting. There are some fantastic lines in this movie. You will find yourself repeating them over and over again... "where you going... NOWHERE!!!" You will soon be chanting the family prayer and writing Aequitas and Veritas all over yourself or scratch paper whenever you get the chance... and this movie is sure to inspire a few tattoos. See it once and you'll know what I'm talking about. Once, however, is simply not enough. Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus give outstanding performances and make us truly believe that they care for each other as brothers (toilet scene), and that they have a divine mandate to kill the killers. The movie raises a good point... that we've all wished at one time or another that someone would "take out the trash" so to speak. That's what Connor and Murphy excel at. Without giving much more away, I want to just leave you with one final note...
Upon purchasing this DVD about 3 weeks ago... my friends and I have watched BDS about 8 times! This movie is truly one you will want to see over and over again... and when you factor in that the DVD from Fox can be purchased for around $12 it should be in everyone's collection. It is one of the best action movies around, with the most style (rivaling pulp fiction) and best action around. That tied in with its spiritual overtones, makes for one heck of a rollercoaster ride that you will want to see again and again. I urge you to give Boondock Saints a chance. It has risen to within my top 5 of all time, and I know you will not be disappointed. Finally... a sequel is in the making, so for all of you who have or plan on seeing BDS and haven't had enough... the whole clan should be back for another awesome flick in, Boondock II: The Second Coming! I know I'm excited!!!!
