NO Lewis and Clark!
It's all about Chris Farley and Matthew Perry, not Lewis and Clark. They slapped funny people, watched a woman bathe and Farley cooked eggs over easy. It was splendid! Watch Matthew Perry gag after taking some medicine. Walking over coals is the best! "Almost Heroes," is Chris Farley's last movie and he will always be remembered for making a genius laugh. This movie which was directed by Christopher Guest, needs to be released on DVD. Any Farley fan will appreciate it. Purity.

If you are a Farly Fan You will Love this movie
What a great concept for a flick. Attempting to beat Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Being this is the 200th anniversary of that expedition made it a little interesting.

There are some very funny scenes indeed but Farly is Farly, yelling, getting angry, fighting and fussing. If you like that you will love this. My favorite scene is where he faces the Eagle at her nest. "Why didn't you tell me you only wanted the shell?" What a great one liner.

Perry is a little stiff as a character and is more of a straight man to Farly's funny man. My only problem with the movie is that there are too many places where it gets slow. Part of it is because you are in the wild and it was a slower time.

There are so many great one liners that seem to have too much time between them. The inuendos are a bit much especially at the beginning. The older Indians are just great. And the scenery, especially of the Tetons and the Snake River are outstanding.

If you want to have a fun night with mostly the guys this is okay for that. My wife did not like it. Anyone who knows and liked Farly for his antics and his in character concept, you will just think this is a hoot.

Intentional Stupidity
This was Chris Farley's last film. He ended on a high note. The movie is intentionally stupid--a hilarious GOOF--and directed by Christopher Guest (known for having directed "This is Spinal Tap"). They surely weren't pushing for an Oscar with this one - merely encouraging laughter. This is the story of Bartholomew Hunt (Chris Farley) and Leslie Edwards (Matthew Perry) who, in 1804, follow explorers Lewis and Clark, in hope of being the first men to see the Pacific Ocean. Along their journey they're sure to bring laughter to true fans of Farley's ways, and perhaps to fans of Mel Brooks' as well, as some of the comedy is similar to Brooks' humour in "Robin Hood - Men in Tights".
It is a real shame that this movie isn't available on DVD (yet?), because the presentation of it on VHS is awful. I quote the fine print on the back of the tape's case: "This film has been modified as follows from its original version: It has been formatted to fit your screen". The picture is zoomed in WAY too far, and the result looks distorted. In many shots heads are cropped, we sometimes see only approximately 75% of the face of the person who speaks, and at one point, where a sign reads "Welcome to Snakes Bend", we only see "elcome to Snakes Ben". I was hugely disappointed by the film's presentation, but surprised by the quality of comedy since this is not a much talked about movie.
Zero points to he who decided to crop the movie, and full points to whoever releases is on DVD (with OPTIONAL formatting).

"WHOS IDEA WAS THE CORN???"
that line gets me every time! farley, matt perry and eugene levy all give great comedic performances. this movie took about 2 or 3 viewings for me to really appreciate the style of humor, but the best comedies are usually like that. once you start listening to how ridiculous some of the dialogue is, you start to laugh from wondering how the actors kept a straight face for the scenes. one of the funniest movies of all time! maybe not as funny as tommy boy, but pretty close. i laugh to myself just thinking about some of the scenes as i type this. its a shame the world lost chris farley, but he went out with a great final movie.

A Guiltless Pleasure
Is this movie dumb? You bet! But I love it. The dumber "the better" I always say. Well sometimes. Farley and Perry play off each other quite well with their own styles of comedic humor in this interpretation of the Lewis and Clark exploration. But then so does the whole cast of zany characters in this whimsical historical tale. Some of the situations and lines of dialog are absolutely stupid, but they are just so funny in their own way. After I recently viewed this film again I just thought it was absolutely gut wrenching funny and worth the 5 stars. ... Read more

In yet another example of Demi Moore's astonishing narcissism, this appalling adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Great American Novel becomes a teary, talk-show-worthy story of a woman rediscovering the erotic, of interrupted love, of a brave-but-beleaguered heroine's personal struggle against male stupidity. Never mind that this has little to do with Hawthorne's magnificent, protofeminist book, which is a million times more relevant today than this film could ever be. Director Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields) deserves to be horsewhipped for colluding with Moore's self-fascination, while Gary Oldman should be kicked in the pants for allowing the novel's main character to come off as an inconsequential ninny. Making matters worse, Robert Duvall can be seen ridiculously dancing with a deerskin on his head. If this film were a joke, it would be a very bad joke. But it's not, and that's worse. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

An actress way out of her depth
As a public service to high school students who has been assigned to read The Scarlet Letter and decided to watch this movie to cheat, I have one word of advice: don't. (Unless you are certain that your teacher majored in secondary education instead of a real subject.In that case, go ahead. She or he won't know the difference.) This film has only the most tenuous connection with the Hawthorne novel. The novel was a study in contrasts between the hypocrisy of the Puritan clergy, people as superstitious, arrogant, and self-righteous as Hollywood types with causes, and the nobility and courage of a "fallen woman" willing to undergo public humiliation to protect someone she loves. This is, instead, a romance novel, a bad romance novel, on film. As far as I can tell, the new-and-improved plot exists mostly to give Demi Moore a excuse to get rolled in the hay. Her ability to fake (I assume) an orgasm is impressive, and she cries on command very well. Other than that her performance was embarrassing to watch. She really ought not to attempt period pieces. They often require acting. The only reason I didn't hit the eject button about a third of the way through was the fine supporting cast whose performances only heighten the contrast with Ms Moore. There are actors and actresses, and there are movie stars; Ms Moore is the latter. (Why is it that so many British actresses can do flawless American accents and most Hollywood stars do British accents so badly it is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard?) Unless your erotic recreation requires the juxtaposition of barns, petticoats, and fear of the authorities, skip this one.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!
I read all of the reviews for this film and even amazon trashed it! Here is my question. If you read the book, and you know that whenever they turn a book into a movie it's going to be an obvious abomination, what the hell are you expecting. Cast all preconceived notions aside and just enjoy the flick! The Scarlet Letter was a wonderfully acted and directed spectacle for the eyes. I am not really what you would consider a "Demi Moore fan" but I think she did a remarkable job here. The scene where Matumba is bathing is enriched with metaphorical images that strikes a chord in the imagination department, all the while as the movie's integral scene is taking place between Demi and Gary Oldham, is this not cinematic splendour? Yes I will admit, I never read the book, maybe that is why I enjoyed Scarlet. Overall, this is a descent movie. It takes you back in time and lets you relive the puritan hell days on earth, all over again. A great Thanksgiving movie, wouldn't you say?

We still love you Demi!

Oldman does it again!
Not a big fan of Romance movies, but a sucker for anything Oldman stars in, I bought this DVD without ever having read the first thing about it. And once more? I cannot say I was dissappointed.

The story is about Hester Prynne (Demi Moore), a young wife who travels to the new world to prepare for her husband's arrival. She ends up in a conservative community, who are rather shocked with her modern ways of dealing with certain things.

When Hester's husband travels to the new world, he is believed to be murdered by the Indians. She falls in love with the Reverend Dimmsdale (Oldman), whose feelings match hers. Out of their love, a child is conceived. However, since her husband hasn't been proven dead, the child is seen by the community as being born out of wedlock.

The conservative and very religious communion demands Hester to name the father of the child, which she denies. She's locked up in prison and has her baby there, while Dimmsdale is torn over whether to step forward as the baby's father.

Hester then is freed but ordered to walk around town wearing a Scarlet Letter 'A', which is meant to belittle her whereever she goes.

Shortly after the child is born, her husband (Robert Duvall) suddenly reappears, and tries to incite the indians (whom he befriended) to act against the community. Single-handedly, he manages to offset the fragile peace that was between the two peoples.

Moore doesn't do too bad of a job as Hester, Duvall is good as the husband, but Oldman still manages to steal the show. All in all, even though I don't enjoy romances, the movie managed to keep me amused.

Scarlet Letter
Although the movie veered off from where the book went, I found that, differently from the book, the movie focused more on the intimacy between Hester and Dimmsdale (which for the hopeless romantics out there like me-- is a perk!) I loved the actor who plays Dimmsdale and Demi Moore comes through with a strong performace as well.

Letter "S" for sizzling!
Demi Moore is an early American colonist who loses her husband in a Native American attack. She seeks a new soulmate with the town doctor. She gets pregnant out of wedlock which is deemed sinful by the colony & is branded for her adultery by being forced to wear the scarlet letter "A" everywhere she goes.
And to make matters worse, her husband wasn't killed in the attack & he seeks revenge on the man who got his wife pregnant. ... Read more

Jasmin (Marianne Sägebrecht), a German tourist, has just walked off from her husband at the side of the road in the middle of the Mojave Desert; Brenda (CCH Pounder) has just kicked her husband out of the roadside cafe-motel they operate. When Jasmin arrives at the cafe, the two begin developing a prickly but ultimately rewarding friendship. Many other movies have tried to duplicate Bagdad Cafe's mixture of loose storytelling, off-kilter metaphors, and rich emotions, but most often these imitators leave out the random chaos of life and the awkward pain of change that Bagdad Cafe captures with such a gentle touch. Bagdad Cafe earns both its quirkiness and its sentiment by keeping one foot firmly rooted in reality. Director Percy Adlon teamed with star Sägebrecht in two other similarly offbeat movies, Sugarbaby and Rosalie Goes Shopping; his more recent features without her haven't been as successful. Still, he continues to be noted for his odd but lively use of color filters and jagged editing. Bagdad Cafe also features the great Jack Palance (Shane, Requiem for a Heavyweight, City Slickers) playing an easy-going painter; the opportunity to be an ordinary person, rather than his usual wicked fiends, brings out a delightful mischief in Palance. Pounder, who usually gets small supporting parts, deserves another role like this to take advantage of her remarkable range. All in all, an eccentric and wonderful film. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

DESERT RATS GET ACTUALIZED!
Filmed not too far from here in the town of Baghdad in the Mojave Desert, Percy Adlon's BAGHDAD CAFE has charmed just about everyone who has stumbled across this literally off-the-beaten track 1987 gem that's now available for the first time in a bare-bones widescreen DVD transfer.

The story is deceptively simple. Marianne Sägebrecht is a German tourist who leaves -- and is subsequently abandoned by -- her husband(?) in the California desert. In the middle of nowhere, she makes her way to the run-down, failing, Baghadad Cafe and Motel run by C.C.H. Pounder (ER's Dr. Hicks). The rotund Sägebrecht quickly becomes a part of the eccentric family under Pounders tough-talking rule. Not only that, her presence is the catalyst that transforms the forgotten roadside stop into a bustling business and a life-altering experience for all present. Jack Palance is extraordinary as an ex-Hollywood set designer and artist who sees Sägebrecht's true beauty and becomes obsessed about capturing it on canvas. What he sees Sägebrecht becomes and in the process impacts those she touches. This wonderful film is about loving and accepting and believing and discovering and being. The original music by Bob Telson includes the haunting "Calling You" sung by Javetta Steele. This is one for the digital library. Highest recommendation.

Can't expain the attraction ' just see it
I found Bagdad Cafe on DVD three days ago and have watched it twice since, each time with a big smile on my face. It's difficult to explain why this movie is so haunting; if you try to tell a friend "You've got to see this movie because...", you'd be stuck for a definable reason. It's a very gentle character study of two women, different as can be, who come to understand and even like each other. They are both frustrated with their current positions in life. Jasmin (Marianne Sagebrecht), the stranded German tourist, is willing to start repairing her life, even in this bleak desert setting. Brenda (CCH Pounder) has led such a hard-knocks life that she can't understand or accept anyone trying to help her. There's a wonderful supporting cast surrounding them, but the heart of this movie is the way the two women learn to be friends. You're either going to love this movie or be totally bewildered by what I (and other reviewers) see in it.

This movie was shot in Newberry Springs, near Barstow; the restaurant is still there (originally called Sidewinder Cafe, now renamed the Bagdad Cafe, of course). This is the favorite movie of one of my sister's friend who lives in Brazil. When this friend's daughter Paula visited recently, we stopped by the Bagdad Cafe on the way to Vegas; Paula's mom shed tears of delight when she saw pictures of her daugher making a pilgrimage to this high desert Mecca.

My favorite movie of all time
This movie is just perfect. It deserves all the oscars in the world. After watching this movie, you feel good about life....

Different Worlds Harmonize -- Quiet Gem of a Film
When a middle aged Bavarian Tourist lands in a remote, scarcely populated California desert town, she creates not only a stir with the locals, but eventually brightens the spirits of her host family as well as all the "regulars" who pass through the "Bagdad Cafe". What started out as a "big mistake" soon looks like divine providence.

"Miss Jasmin" (the German lady with a matching accent) and "Miss Brenda" (the rough-talking owner of a greasy-spoon restaurant who employs Jasmin and gives her a home) become close friends. An aging "showbusiness man" (brilliantly played by pre-City-Slickers Jack Palance) views Miss Jasmin as his "muse" and is inspired to paint her portrait. When word gets out that her tourist visa had expired, the local Sheriff forces Jasmin to return to Germany. Sadness canvases the place where Jasmin had been embraced as a welcome change of schedule. The life she had brought with her seemed drained away with her departure.

There isn't much plot to stretch the running time (the original German cut runs nearly 2 hours), however there are many bittersweet moments in this simple, but beautiful film. The last few scenes deliver the inevidible (thus predictable) conclusion. A little on the "artsy" side and clearly without a multi-million dollar budget, but still a palatable final product.****

Yawn.
I'd heard nothing but good things about this movie from critics and family members. Clearly, a lot of folks like this movie. It didn't do a lot for me, though. It had its moments. ... Read more

The Lightning Incident
Intense and dramatic, Nancy McKeon does a fantastic job of portraying a woman whose baby is kidnapped, and she discovers she has psychic abilities which she uses to get her child back. Sometimes looking alot more like a theatrical release than a TV movie, THE LIGHTNING INCIDENT is one not to be missed. Great performances, a touching script, beautiful production design and direction, as well as an eerie music score help to make this movie all it is: one of the few TV movies we can call great.

Great Movie!!
I loved this Movie. Nancy McKeon gave a fantastic performance(as always) as a Woman whom has her baby, Andrew, stolen by a Tribe from her Mother's past. She goes to great lengths to get her baby back before he runs out of time. A definate must see.

Fantastic, quirky, fun
I saw this film at the release party, at the Magic Bag in Ferndale... it was on cable, and I'd love to own a DVD of it, too! Wonderful, black-comedy / sweet and sappy love story, good acting, I'd say it's #1 at the top of my list of best independent films made in the US in the last 20 years.

Lunatics, I Must Of Been Crazy To Work On This Film!
This has really turned into a cult classic movie. I have to admit that this film was pretty fun to work on. I was one of a few Grips on the project. We all worked some long hours, but we had a great crew. It was really cool to meet Deborah Foreman, as I have always been a fan of hers from some of her past films. But back to the movie; it has kind of a corny storyline, but it still is worth watching at 4:30 AM when you can't sleep and you are fresh out of Valuim ... (smile). I wish they would release this movie on DVD ... (hint, hint). So if you haven't watched this film, rent it or buy it. Almost the whole crew was hired from the Detroit, Michigan area. Watch the film credits for everybodys names.

Josh Becker is a god.
I'd been looking forward to seeing this movie for months before it caught my vision at a local rental store (with a wonderful selection of hard-to-find movies and anime) and I sqeauled with delight. I'm a devoted fan of Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell & Josh Becker fan (Theo Raimi is okay too) so it was natural for me to want to see it, plus it sounded entertaining. Anyway, it definately was entertaining! This is probably the most "charming" movie I've ever been proud to add to my favorite movies list. Theo(dore Raimi) was actually really good in this, it's amazing that Joxer is so incredibly annoying (his character on Xena:WP) and Hank is so amusing. The cinemetography was great, it was almost like a more subtle version of Sam's style. The incorporation of the whole poetry thing was awesome! I was rolling on the floor with laughter when I saw that yes, John Cameron played Edgar Allen Poe. Not many people can claim that honor!

I highly reccomend this movie to fans of it's makers or pretty much anyone. It's inventive, stylish, funny and very good-hearted. It's like Crimewave meets romantic comedies.

Raimi, Campbell and Foreman... what more do you need?
How can you not like a film presented by Evil Dead's Sam Raimi starring Ted Raimi and Deborah Foreman and has Bruce Campbell being... well Bruce Campbell? You can't! T. Raimi is an apartment bound hallucinating-paranoid-delusional poet teetering on the edge of serial killer, when his path crosses with the oh-so cute but crazy in her own right D. Foreman. This, for lack of a better word, "charming" love story is absolutely looney yet extremely compelling. Together the two end up sorta-solveing their problems and saving each other from street gangs, sadistic doctors (Bruce Campbell in a perfectly cast role), and spiders along the way. A definate for any fan of cheese. Loads of Lunacy and a damn funny movie ta' boot- but then would Raimi have his name on anything but? ... Read more

Imperfect, but . . .
The most compelling part of this movie was the Navaho spiritual theme: skinwalkers and the ghost sickness they can cause. In fact, the skinwalker was terrifying (cudos to the actor), and the psychological aspect was so frightening that it completely overwhelmed the unlikely romance between the LA policeman and the beautiful young Navaho tracker. I can't see her messing with somebody in that bad shape. Infected with ghost sickness, he could have been quite dangerous to her and others in the tracking party. It struck me that someone took a really good script and messed with it, trying to make it conform to what somebody thinks viewers want: a romance. The skinwalker issue should have been taken care of by the tribal policemen, working with elders, and that could have been tense and scarey. Unfortunately, the tribal policemen (their sergeant was played by Robert Beltran) got shunted to the background. Still the movie is worth a look for the fascinating core and Beltran, glowing gently in the background.

Not a great movie, but interesting anyway.
It is a given that this movie is not the same type of movie that Scott Glenn did previous to it. Then again, not many movies can't compare to "Silence of the Lambs." After the first 15 minutes or so this movie becomes a lot better. Once Glenn finds himself on the Navajo Indian Reservation he becomes the typical fish out of water type character as he looks to return to Los Angeles with a suspected murderer, much like Val Kilmer's FBI character in "Thunderheart." Even that movie is far and above better than "Shadow Hunter," but do not let this discourage you. It is a good rental, and you may never watch it again, but the mystical aspect of Native-American culture will suck you in. Enjoy!

Wasn't right to be made!!
This movie is not to be seen if you don't have a respectful mind. I,a native that comes from the Dineh(Navajo)Nation do not think this was appropiate to make for money or for any reason at all. It's very desrespectful to Indigenous People and most importantly to our elderly ones, that have suffered the most,to find out that we'd let something like this happen. ... Read more

Actress Marianne Sägebrecht reunites with her Sugarbaby director, Percy Adlon, in this story of a German woman abandoned by her husband in the Mojave desert and taken into a kooky community at a remote café. C.C.H. Pounder (Dr. Angela Hicks on television's ER) gives an atypically unhinged performance as the café owner, and Jack Palance is wonderful as an artist who wants to capture on canvas the beauty he perceives in the rotund Sägebrecht. Adlon's warm but slightly unreal colors give the film a hint of fantasy and time standing still for a life-changing adventure. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

AN ALMOST CLASSIC
This is a hillarious movie! Chris Farley and Matthew Perry serve as an ideal on screen comedy duo. I'm not a big Farley fan, I love Tommy Boy, but everything he made after that, to me, was repetative. But this movie just works well with his clumbsiness, and he just makes you laugh non stop. This movie moght not be as funny the first time around, but it definitely grows on you.

Hilariouly funny!
A movie so funny it is unbelieveable! This movie will keep you up all night laughing. A must see. If you've never seen Almost Heroes, you're missing out! "This is an upper case A" movie.!

Completely Ridiculous
This is the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen. The events don't make sense, many scenes seem to be missing (one second they're looking up a big mountain, dreading climbing it, and the next they're up top the mountain and Perry's character is sick), the characters' (mainly Farley) personalities and attitudes change for no reason, the ending doesn't make sense (why did Lewis and Clark get the credit when they beat them to it?), and you know what, this was the funniest movie I have ever seen. So bizarre and ridiculous that it's brilliant. You have to have a certain sense of humor to like this movie, but if you do, you'll love it. Everyone should at least give this movie a chance. You'll never know what you're missing.

-Nuf

PS- The egg scene is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Almost Heroes
I just loved this movie. It is too bad that this was one of Farley's last movies though. I enjoyed the scene after Farley's told them about the sadistic animals of the wild. Then one of the crewmen spotted an animal on the bank and they all went crazy and started shooting at it with their guns and a boat cannon. Farley told them it was only a squirrel then one of the crewman yelled, "He's got something in his hands!" And they all went crazy again shooting at it. I would recommend this movie to anyone and especially those Chris Farley fans.

ITS CR*P!!!!
Some of my frieds led me to believe that this was a greatmovie. Needless to say, they're not my friends anymore. Sittingthrough this movie was like having my wisdom teeth pulled out, only less funny. ... Read more
