Hamlet, Prinz von Dänemark (1960)
Not really that bad.
While not to everyone's tastes, I actually prefer the dreary tone of this production. I prefer this over the one Gibson was in, at any rate. The dark and sparse sets give you a real sense of Hamlet's brooding mind.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Brilliant movie, terrible advertising.
Kung Pow was incredibly funny, but was marketed to the wrong crowd, using the weakest scenes... A Kung Fu baby... A Matrix parody... Burly guy having his clothes torn into a bikini... Well, the mainstream audience might get the idea, but they *aren't* the intended audience for the film... Perhaps if they'd included bits like (spoilers?)
"I'm bleeding... Making me the victor."
"I am a powerful magician.... YOUR CLOTHES ARE RED!!!"
And
"WHALE!"
It would have had a more successful run. I didn't see the movie based on the previews... But when I finally rented it, I couldn't stop laughing.
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
The Perfect Film.
It's not at all like Rocky Horror. It isn't likable only as camp. This is the perfect movie. The best movie I have ever seen in my life. Everything works perfectly. Paul Williams' music is awesome and Williams himself is brilliant as Swan. And even if you don't like the movie, I think the film makes up for any complaints with the best credits sequence of all time. Make every aspect of your life 10% better and watch this film.
