Marty's Movie Reviews #9,812
Aug. 5th, 2005 12:51 amLost Boys: 80's. VERRRRRRY 80's. And not the good kinda 80's like Duran Duran or the Buggles. No, this is the kinda 80's you have to LOOK at. I much prefer the kind of 80's one listens to. Corey Haim is a wuss, Feldman is a fag, and Keifer should just disown anything he did before 24. And I didn't even like *that*.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: The original. My god the intro was like pure sweet chocolate porn. Four people in a bed, hahahaha...two pointing one way, two pointing the other. Now that just screams squallor don't it? 60's...barely. Just missing the garish color, and not quite all earth tones of the 70's. Much less psychedlic than Johnny Depp's version. I think I like Gene Wilder's Wonka much better. Not as flaky, not as potentially psychotic, and I think that makes him less frightening and warmer.
I have out on the edge of memories of this movie, from when I was a little kid. Charlie and Grandpa drinking the soda and nearly getting killed by the fan. Violet turning blue and swelling up. I don't remember Veruca at all. Other little bits here and there. I must have been *really* young. Odd seeing things you only remember out of the corner of your mind again.
The Royal Tenenbaums: Gene Hackman has never made a bad movie. A really pink movie.
