Mean Streets (1973)
not impressed
Has some great dialogue and is obviously a starting point for Scorcese (And DeNiro) but in my opinion not on par with any of his (and their) later work.
Drearily shot and badly edited, the films cheap production shows and it has no stood the test of time and looks very dated.
The music is almost always too loud, making it a pain to hear what people are saying. The characters tend to drone on and an and to be honest, it put me to sleep a bit.
Only recommended if you are a die hard fan of either scorcese, keitel or deniro...if you are looking for a gangster/mob character study you'd be better off with GoodFellas, in my opinion.
Bar Girls (1994)
awful awful awful awful
Terrible terrible terrible film.
The acting was atrocious.
The storyline was weak. The subplots were just plain...bad.
The lovescenes were boring.
The characters were unbelievable.
The sets were unrealistic and ugly.
The music was horrible.
The inter spliced "comic" was possibly the most interesting part.
Good film to watch if you want to die of boredom.
Any film starring a cowboy hat wearing lesbian police officer with the hairdo of a weather presenter in cowboy boots playing basketball called JR should be used as an alternative to corporal punishment.
I think this is possibly the worst film that I have ever seen.
