Blue Juice (1995)
BLUE JUICE...where?
The title and cover of this film are both quite misleading. First of all it shows a nice, handsome looking Ewan McGregor in a wet suit, surf board and waves splashing around in the background. Right. So...where does the "Blue Juice" come in? I mean there's no surfing in this movie whatsoever. It's quite humorous in that aspect actually. And Ewan doesn't even look good in the movie. He's a drug addict whose pretty nasty looking throughout most of the film. I don't get how British films get the excuse of making bad films just because they're British.
Seriously, if this was made in the U.S. it would've been made fun of by all the critics and probably never even shown in the theaters. Poor Ewan, but he's made up for it.
Shallow Grave (1994)
I HATE THRILLERS...but loved this movie
y: I HATE THRILLERS...but loved this movie
I don't know what it is about Danny Boyle. I tell you what, I originally rented this simply because of McGregor's presence. Little did I know it was going to have me on the edge of my seat. I usually don't enjoy scary movies or thrillers, but this one didn't bother me quite as much.
Danny Boyle does a nice job of keeping your mind thinking about what's not being shown, but does it tastefully enough so that you don't get too sickened by it. It's actually quite an interesting situation that they
give in this film, but nonetheless the acting is superb on all accounts and the ending leaves you with sense of question, which is cool because it makes you discuss it with others that watched it with you. Which is intially the whole purpose of a film, to go enjoy it, then discuss it with others.
Being Human (1994)
Being Human, Yeah Right, Nothing Human About This Movie!
In Being Human, the movie title should explain to you mostly what it's about. This is not so. If the character William's is portraying is human, then we might as well call ourselves droids. His stiff way of acting and terrible forms of expression harm the respect one holds for him as an actor. Sure the script is bad and it should have stayed as a book or whatever, but whoever wasted their money to produce this tape of diaster was simply not aware of exactally how bad this movie is. And yes, if you analyze it to death I'm sure you can find parallels and connections to human responses to different situations, but for the regular people who just want to enjoy a movie, don't bother with this one. Nothing to enjoy. And if you happen to notice that Ewan McGregor's in it, yeah, definatly not worth sitting through to catch his evil glare and two one liners. I'd rather see a role where he actually gets to use his talent. This movie sucked. I'm sorry to rest of you who thought is was under rated, but honestly, I think you're just a Robin Williams fan justifying a bad choice.
