Nicolas Cage is brilliant! Early in his career Cage proves his unique and unforgettable talent as the peculiar Peter Loew. This is the film where I first met and fell in love with Cage's qualities. He plays Peter Loew in a dark humorous and memorable manner. And thus, instilled in me the need to see almost every single film he's done since. This is an unusual rendition of a 'Vampire' movie. The story is set in the midst of modern New York (at the time the film was made), amongst regular folk and the vampire phenomena is casually infected into the plot. This film is strange, yet droll, dark, yet believable... almost like it could happen! Oh and it has a fair amount of sexy women scantily clad for those who are into that type of thing. I wouldn't miss this one if you're a Cage or a vampire fan.
This quirky film has everything- lots and lots of comedy, a nice touch of romance, some violence and a hint of sadness now and again. Oh and it also stars 2 of the most charming actors- Drew Barrymore, as Julia and Adam Sandler, as Robbie. Their on-screen chemistry is very remarkable to watch and their individual charm is most appealing. The movie is set in the 80's and is a great nostalgic piece for that time period- in all is cheesiness and glory! Sandler as the Wedding Singer will surprise you with his musical talents. And musicians who have run the gamut of various music-related jobs will have extra giggles. And of course Barrymore will dazzle you with her cuteness and poise. This movie will leave you in stitches! And a must see!!!
Gary Oldman's incarnation as Sid Vicious is superb. This film is raw, ugly and loud! Precisely the way a movie about a drug addicted punk rocker star should be! The director, Alex Cox, brings the viewer right into the debts of the chaotic and anarchic world of the famous British punk band the Sex Pistols. The story itself is more focused on the self-destructive life of Sid Vicious, who was the popular bass player of this group and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen (played by Chloe Webb). Cox spares no details in captivating the essence of the mayhem and disarray of their dark life style and the bizarre yet haunting love they shared. Their is an eerie realism to this movie that makes one believe, that they are actually witnessing the lives of these people as it really happened. And what a tumultuous life it was. This isn't only great for fans of the Sex Pistols, this is truly a moment in history come back to life... for just a moment.
