Rating:  - Lollies, lollies, lollies, get your jailbait here!
In order to celebrate left wing loooooon Bernie Ward being sentenced for kiddie p*rn charges today, I'm going to review the movie Lolita. But nay, not the classic Stanley Kubrick Film, but instead this god-awful 1997 remake! I can't believe how awful this remake is; it actually turned a great classic like Lolita into a chick flick complete with period costumes. Gag me with a spoon!
Nobody says that you have to like the classic film, and maybe costume movies/chick flicks are your thing, ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the greatest love stories ever.
This film gets better and better each time I watch it. I never seem to tire of it. It has a fantastic poetic quality that takes it's cues from the novel. One of the greatest love tragedies I have ever come across. Not demon film everyone makes it out to be. A masterpiece in every sense of the word and Lyne's best film.
A must see for anyone who loves a good, honest love tale.
Rating:  - Europe and America: fatal attraction
Humbert is really a despicable human being. If there's a moral in this twisted morality tale, it's that obsession can really, really screw up your life. Oh, and also, don't write things in a diary you wouldn't want anyone you know to see.
Jeremy Irons was great, as usual. He's a lot like Johnny Depp, in that he takes roles of people I don't like but is such a good actor that he overcomes the material. Dominique Swain overdoes the nymphet act, but I blame the writer and director more ... Read More
Rating: - Disturbing, Sad, Funny
There's some heavy handed symbolism here and there in the movie, but all in all it's a nice update to the old Kubrick version. A scene that involves a teenager moaning in the lap of a middle aged man might disturb some viewers, and you probably don't want to show it to your high school students.
The first part of the movie comes across as dated, demented, sentimental and unrealistic, but things pick up after that. In general the film is surprisingly funny, like the book, despite the awfulness ... Read More
Rating: - Ms Swain Should Have Won An Oscar
Both Dominique and Jeremy gave Oscar-worthy performances in this brilliant movie. The fact that Dominique had zero previous acting experience was of course the very reason that she could not possibly have won. I mean that would point out a rather obvious fact about Hollywood.....
Anyway this movie is very atmospheric and will make you happy, sad, sick, and angry. Which is exactly what a good movie is supposed to do....drag out your feelings/emotions. This is a timepiece movie and you really get ... Read More
