How about the elements of the writing here? |
This was the third remake of SLEEPING WITH THE ENIEMY After YAARANA(1995) and AGNISAKSHI(1996) AGNISAKSHI was the only one which worked and was a better film DARAAR is directed by Abbas Mustan who sadly failed in their attempt here the story was good but the handling wasn't that good and the heroine was shown too regressive and the climax too was disappointing Direction is bad Music is good Rishi reprises his role of YAARANA(strangely which also was a remake of SWTE) and looks too fat for the lead and is okay Juhi is decent while Arbaaz tries too hard in his debut and does manage in many scenes to chill the audiences but his voice was terrible Johny is too loud |
Daraar got off to a pretty good start. |
The first scene really left me at the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. |
Other than that, the first half of the movie is a total BORE. |
All the first half of the movie is about is Rishi Kapoor falling head over heels in love with Juhi Chawla. |
By the way, don't you think he's a little old for her??? |
Things finally start to spice up towards the middle of the film when Juhi tells us about her previous husband; |
and wow what a lunatic is he! |
He was an over-protective, neat-freak with a really HOT TEMPER! |
He used to beat up poor Juhi for no good reason! |
One of the reasons I really don't like this movie is because I can't stand to see Juhi (my favorite actress) get so abused. |
This film in general has WAY too much abuse and bloodshed; |
I find it so sickening!!! |
Anyway, all I'm trying to say is if you're thinking about renting Daraar, you should put it right back on the shelf where you found it and pick something else! |
For the record, this film is intriguing but its hardly original. |
Back in 1998 a movie starring Talia Shire called The Landlady had almost the exact same plot but with younger characters. |
The story is Amanda Lear has had a bad life, abusive father, horny doctor, mental homes, etc. |
She's finally released from the happy home under the guidance of her perverted doctor... |
who she anally abuses and kills the poor guy. |
(now THAT was original) The doctor had financed a mansion for her before she killed him and buried the sucker in the backyard. |
After moving in she falls in love with a stud named Richard, who just happens to be married to a blues singer. |
If you've seen The Landlady you know the rest, she kills or tries to kill anyone that gets in between her and Richard (including a roadie). |
Much of the idea's came from the previous movie, same idiot sidekick that sticks his nose in, same spying on the guy with a bowl of popcorn, same flying a bodypress. |
It did have some original material, the beer bottle thing was brutal. |
The highlight of the movie was Amanda's beautiful breasts in the hot-top scene. |
Somewhat of a ripoff but not a total waste of time. |
4 out of 10 |
Despite the high ratings given to this film by IMDB users, this is nothing more than your typical girl-with-a-bad-childhood-obsessively-stalks-married-man film. |
The attractive Justine Priestly's brief nude scenes may attract voyeurs, but the film is hackneyed tripe. |
* 1/2 out of **** |
I got this movie because I worked at a movie store so I got free rentals. |
It came in, and the cover made it look alright. |
Hot chick, carrying a weapon, alright, I'll check it out. |
Oh man, bad move. |
This was so horrible, I spent half the movie watching in fast-forward to get to the nudity, which was minimal. |
I think MAYBE three scenes of partial nudity. |
Cheesy dialogue, crappy violence, poor excuses of characters. |
I feel bad putting this movie down, because I know it was made on a cheap budget, but so was "Clerks" and it became a cult classic and a franchise. |
2/10. |
SHALLOW GRAVE begins with either a tribute or a rip off of the shower scene in PSYCHO. |
(I'm leaning toward rip off.) After that it gets worse and then surprisingly gets better, almost to the point of being original. |
Bad acting and amateurish directing bog down a fairly interesting little story, but the film already surpasses many in the "Yankee comes down South to get killed by a bunch of rednecks" genre because it is actually shot in the South. |
A group of college girls head to Ft. |
Lauderdale for summer vacation and are waylaid in Georgia by a flat tire after getting off the main road. |
(Note to Yankees: stay on the highway when you go to Florida.) Sue Ellen (Lisa Stahl) has to pee so she heads into the woods. |
When she finally finds a good spot to do her business she witnesses the local sheriff (Tony March) strangle his mistress (Merry Rozelle) to death. |
(Note to Yankees: do not wander off into the woods when in the South; |
not because you might witness a murder, but you may run across a marijuana plantation.) This is the point where the story, not the movie, actually comes close to being good. |
While Tony March will never have to practice his Oscar speech, his Sheriff Dean becomes a creepy facsimile of a normal guy torn by what he has done and what he must do. |
Tom Law is likable as Deputy Scott and is as authentic a Southern deputy as I've seen since Walton Goggins (Deputy Steve Naish) in HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. |
A few scenes in the movie are worth the mention. |
The girls stop at a BBQ in South Carolina and display their racism when a big black guy checks them out. |
Sue Ellen runs into a barn to hide behind some hay bales and in a shockingly realistic moment a large snake is hiding in the hay with her. |
And in the strangest scene, Sheriff Dean makes like he's about to rape Patty (Carol Cadby) and tells her to take off her clothes. |
Dean has turned the radio up to drown out the noise of what he's about to do. |
The preacher on the radio needs to go back and read his Bible. |
His sermon is about how Jezebel is saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. |
I feel sorry for this preacher's flock. |
Jezebel was in the Old Testament a few thousand years before Christ was born and by no means is she one of the five people you are going to meet in Heaven. |
This movie is basically about some girls in a Catholic school that end up getting into trouble because of putting red dye in one in one of their school mates shampoo and after being reprimanded for this act they decide to take off to Florida for a vacation. |
On their way there they meet up with some guys in a local diner and decide that they would both meet up with each other in another location later on. |
The girls end up on a road side near the woods and stop for awhile and while one of the girls decides to walk around a bit she sees a murder happen in which the local sheriff himself is involved. |
She becomes scared and runs to tell the others what happened. |
The other girls decide to go take a look with her and two of them get killed by the killer. |
Then the two remaining girls are caught by the killer and are placed in local jail cell. |
The deputy sheriff meanwhile is keeping watch over the girls and despite their insistence that the sheriff is the killer he ignores them both and acts as ignorant and everybody else in this movie who just can't put two and two together much less some lousy detective work at that. |
The best part was the rape scene between the killer and one of the girls where he decides to rape her in her jail cell and it seems that the girl actually WANTS to be raped by this man and the bare chest scene I admit was good but before their lips meet he has other things in mind. |
This movie reminds me of the low-budget thriller "Blood Song" with Frankie Avalon staring in it, the same motive just a different character part. |
It's not a movie worth renting not even for an 80's low-budget movie and the ending was the worst ending I have ever seen in a movie and it left me wanting my money back! |
I saw this by chance showing on cable on wanted to like it as I thought Sandra was quite funny from what I remembered. |
The only facial movement I had throughout the movie was jaw dropping stunned at how awful a movie I just suffered through. |
The person who said this is one of the funniest movies of all time please point out one line, just one scene, that is even worth a chuckle. |
She is a much better singer than I remember her to be, but I didn't want to watch a lounge act. |
I think this is a movie try hard to like since they think they should and don't view it objectively. |
Film version of Sandra Bernhard's one-woman off-Broadway show is gaspingly pretentious. |
Sandra spoofs lounge acts and superstars, but her sense of irony is only fitfully interesting, and fitfully funny. |
Her fans will say she's scathingly honest, and that may be true. |
But she's also shrill, with an unapologetic, in-your-face bravado that isn't well-suited to a film in this genre. |
She doesn't want to make nice--and she's certainly not out to make friends--and that's always going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. |
But even if you meet her halfway, her material here is seriously lacking. |
Filmmaker Nicolas Roeg served as executive producer and, though not directed by him, the film does have his chilly, detached signature style all over it. |
Bernhard co-wrote the show with director John Boskovich; |
their oddest touch was in having all of Sandra's in-house audiences looking completely bored--a feeling many real viewers will most likely share. |
*1/2 from **** |
Killer Tomatoes movies have this special kind of humor - you either love it or hate it. |
I personally like it, but in this fourth movie the feeling is gone. |
The tomatoes aren't the same, jokes are lame, even the actors aren't as funny. |
Because that's the only thing this kind of movies are supposed to be - funny. |
So now following the plot made to laugh, is annoying. |
They really shouldn't have done the fourth part to the Killer Tomatoes trilogy. |
What made the original Killer Tomatoes fun was it was made by people with no budget who were just being wacky for a couple of days... |
This was something with a budget, but it just wasn't as much fun. |
John Astin of Adams Family fame is actually making an effort here to be comedic, but he is supported by lame actors, cheap special effects and unfunny gags. |
The plot. |
Dr. Gangrene (Astin) escapes from a French prison and decides he is going to put a pretender on the throne of France... |
The hero, his French girlfriend and the Gizmo-like "Fuzzy Tomato" decide they are going to stop him... |
Forgettable Direct to Video nonsense... |
There was nothing of value in the original movie, this one was even lamer. |
The fact that I even found it to rent was absolutely amazing. |
