The song was released on February 2. I like to know what you're really up to. I'm a bit of a nosey busybody. Why do they do the things they do? Why are they prepared to do the things they do to get what they want? I am very honoured to have your support, and love you for the energy and the inspiring work and comments that you bring to the table.
It's big and bald. It's very disturbing to look at a toy and see yourself. At the same time, it's very cool. People are lovely creatures. I'm one myself so I love to see people happy. When I went to drama school everybody used to quote him in all his films, you know State of Grace (1.
And I'd sit there really quietly and think, . I'm more of a Gary Oldman fan than you are.! So to work with him, for him to look me in the eye, talk to me.. Cos I'm not star struck by people, but Gary just took the wind right out of me. I'm very lucky we had to reshoot those scenes on the couch .
Then for him to actually like me, and to work three times with him - cos we did . I remember saying ? This is a man that I've stolen everything that I've done from, like Bronson (2.
Stuart: A Life Backwards (2. That's me trying to emulate what Gary's done, and to work with him makes me feel like I don't have any characters of my own. Now I know my beast and I know how to manage it.
It's like living with a 4. It's much more powerful than me, doesn't speak the same language and it runs around the darkness of my soul. Every day on that set, I was terrified, which worked for the character anyway. You can't hide that, the camera will pick it up. I was genuinely out of my depth. The whole thing was . I didn't have a single drink when I did it, for three months.
Friday night, nothing! I'd never been so focused in my life! I couldn't get the job done otherwise. I was working 1. 7- hour days. When I came back I just slept. I was just constantly at work. A lot of the Enterprise stuff was shot three months prior to me coming out.
So they'd already shot half the movie before I turned up. So it was like walk in, straight in, out the frying pan, into the fire, get on with it. So the argument of Ivan being a good guy or bad guy, in the same way, he's not perfect, well fucking welcome to the human race. And it's purely subjective. For me, I know that's the best I can do. I can't describe it any other way, apart from there is so many layers to it. The car is a containment in some way, Locke is contained in his emotions.
And each individual phone call, there are four walls to each relationship, which collapse or don't. So it was quite a mathematical performance. I'm a bit of a homeboy. But the reality is, I love what I fucking do.
I love to do things I hadn't done before. These films reminded me of a lot of the acting style of the '7. It is a very similar energy to the French and South African productions. I like the passion for living that Brazil has, it is in Capoeira, on dance and in the people. By the way, I love Capoeira, but I'm terrible at it.

The 2. 0 Worst Movies Ever Made « Taste of Cinema“Not funny enough, or dramatic enough, or sexy enough, or bad enough, to qualify as entertainment in any category.”That’s Leonard Maltin’s verdict on Striptease (1. Demi Moore vehicle that proves not all bad movies are uproarious fun. Anyone who enjoyed Plan 9 From Outer Space or Troll 2 would go out of their minds if locked in a cinema during a screening of this turkey. Maltin’s words also serve as a good definition of what makes a picture truly bad as opposed to enjoyably bad. Plan 9 may be a failure on every conceivable level, but it fails upwards (so to speak), whereas Moore’s film is so flat and forced you’ll check your watch every two minutes. Tragically for lovers of good bad movies, the latter trend is now standard at the multiplex. Jack & Jill, Ouija and A Haunted House 2 weren’t just bad, they didn’t even have the decency to amuse, intentionally or otherwise.
Everything is subjective, of course, but any viewer who cares to argue the merits of the following clearly has no love for their fellow audience members. Leonard Part 6 (1. Lots of money, talent and product placements for Coca Cola went into Leonard Part 6, and the film certainly isn’t lacking for ideas or set pieces – they’re just not very good ideas or very clever set pieces. Bill Cosby is spy- turned- restauranteur Leonard Parker, who’s brought out of retirement to track down a “vegetarian and former ecologist” with a formula for controlling the minds of various creatures.
Said formula turns lobsters, frogs and gophers into crazed killers capable of throwing cars through the air, and only Cosby can save the day with his underarm rocket launcher and flying ostrich. Which might sound like goofy fun, and in the hands of Barry Sonnenfeld it could’ve been another Men In Black, but every single joke lands with a thud. If you didn’t think Wild Wild West had enough half- baked ideas, you might enjoy it. The Creeping Terror (1. Written by the director of a 3. D softcore porno, directed by a conman and starring its own investors, this creature feature has little enough going for it even before the .
Described by Harry and Michael Medved as “a man- eating carpet from outer space”, our antagonist is just that – a carpet draped over several students, whose feet we can see at the bottom of the screen. The opening sequence sets the tone: bad acting, bad lighting and bad cinematography topped off with mismatched stock- footage and stale narration. Director Art J. Nelson (who also plays the lead under the alias “Vic Savage”) either shot the picture without sound or lost the soundtrack in post- production; either way, he brought in a local newsreader to narrate the picture, leading to several scenes where conversations between characters are paraphrased in voice- over. Any movie where a girl wears a bikini for a picnic in the woods isn’t aiming for High Art, but that doesn’t excuse the level of technical incompetence on display here. Along with all the visible ropes, wires and crewmembers, we’re also treated to the sight of the cameraman’s cigarette smoke drifting into shot following an onscreen death, making you wonder what Nelson actually did. An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1.
While Flashdance, Jagged Edge and Basic Instinct made Joe Eszterhas notorious, Sliver, Jade and Showgirls turned him into a joke, so Burn Hollywood Burn was the screenwriter’s attempt to bite the hand that fed him, an . It should’ve been brilliant. It’s not. Endorsed by Roger Ebert as “a spectacularly bad film – incompetent, unfunny, ill- conceived, badly executed, lamely written and acted by people who look trapped in the headlights”, Burn centres on Trio, a $2. Alan Smithee (Eric Idle), would rather steal the negative and hold it to ransom than attach his name to it.
You see, he can’t adopt a pseudonym because the name used by the Director’s Guild when a filmmaker refuses credit is. No, really, this is the funniest . When a picture’s comedic heavyweights include Robert Evans, Sylvester Stallone and Ryan O’Neal, you know you’re in trouble. Blackenstein (1. 97. Following Blacula and Dr Black Mr Hyde, another public domain horror title gets the Blaxploitation treatment, only this time the results are much less interesting.
Dr Stein, an evil genius who has “just won the Noble Prize for solving the DNA genetic code”, is puttering around his lab when a former student arrives with some news – her boyfriend Eddie, who lost his arms and legs in Vietnam, is coming home. Knowing that the Doc is an expert at limb reattachment, she requests his help, and you know what that means. Don’t get excited, because half the movie is over before Eddie gets off his slab and begins lumbering about, punishing those that tormented him. In fact, there’s no reason to bother at all with this time waster, which looks cheap, is full of uninteresting characters and worst of all, doesn’t have the decency to be funny. The Beast Of Yucca Flats (1. A filmmaker with such appalling taste that he allowed John Carradine to sing the theme song to one of his movies, Coleman Francis achieved a dubious honour – each of the 3 films he directed was parodied on Mystery Science Theatre 3.
Francis’s debut feature, The Beast Of Yucca Flats, was shot MOS (“Mit Out Sound”) and dubbed in post- production, but instead of bringing in actors to dub in lines, Francis narrates the entire picture in deadpan style, and the results are at best mystifying. The “plot” revolves around a “noted scientist” (played by Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson) wandering onto a nuclear testing ground. Francis’s debut feature, The Beast Of Yucca Flats, revolves around a “noted scientist” (played by Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson) who transforms into the eponymous monster after stumbling onto a nuclear testing ground. Which might’ve made for an entertaining B- movie if only Francis hadn’t decided to shoot the film MOS (“Mit Out Sound”) and dub it in post- production. Instead of hiring actors to dub in lines, Francis narrates the picture in deadpan style, and the results are at best mystifying. As the police close in on Johnson, Francis says, “Find the beast and kill him. Kill or be killed!
Man’s inhumanity to man!” When characters are shown puzzling over the beast’s disappearance, Francis says, “Flag on the Moon. How did it get there?” You can only scratch your head in wonder. This doesn’t sit well with Kiel, who vows to get her back while screaming the one word he speaks during the film: “Eegah!”Producer- director- actor Arch Hall Snr reportedly came up with the concept after meeting Kiel, cast his secretary as the female lead and attempted to create an Elvis- like persona for his son, hence the bizarre song I Love You Vicky – which is sung to a girl named Roxy. Incredibly, Eegah! Became a Drive- in hit, earning back its $1.
