Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

gavin6942 Trevor Blackburn is put under psychiatric care after killing his girlfriend and then going into a four year coma. As part of his treatment, he is placed in Love House, a community of nuts hoping to become rehabilitated. But why can't Trevor recall the murder he's accused of? Other people -- at least two -- have called this a "thinking man's horror film", and I'm going to join them. The events are shown out of order, usually out of context, and even once the film is completed you may or may not have understood everything that happened. At one point, there's even a nod to H. P. Lovecraft, though as near as I can tell, this film has no direct connection.The "thinking man" aspect is either going to intrigue you or frustrate you. I am a thinking man, as is my friend Seth who watched it with me, and we were frustrated. Had it not been for our man-crushes on Jeffrey Combs and Ted Raimi, the film probably would have been turned off. Now that I've seen it through, I'm curious to watch it again knowing the answers from stage one... but only so I can understand it, not because I think I'll like it.While Combs and Raimi made the film enjoyable, and a brief Alice Cooper was nice (anyone seen "Prince of Darkness"?), what I really disliked was the actor playing Trevor, Andras Jones. Jones simply can't act for dog snot in this picture, comes off as not knowing his own emotions and more often than not is just lost. I didn't care about him, and as a lead, that's horse apples. His supporting actor, Seth Green (playing "Douglas"), wasn't much better. Green has his moments and this wasn't one of them.There's some minor gore, some drug use, a fair dose of sexuality... so that's good. And director Jeremy Kasten does a fine job at the helm. One scene follows Seth Green around a game room and is executed flawlessly. This is probably more due to the cinematographer, but regardless it stood out. Kasten went on to make "The Thirst" (which I enjoyed) and the remake of "Wizard of Gore" with Crispin Glover. This was his directing debut, and a job well done.I picked this film up used for $2.99 on the power of Jeffrey Combs alone, and it was worth that for the viewing... if you can find the same deal, pick it up. Or rent it. Don't buy this one, unless you really want to irk your friends and ruin a good night of drinking. Usually I drink during horror films, and on this one I didn't. Good thing, or I never would have made it through. Thinking man, yes. Drinking man, no.

Beachbum Mike Me and some friends rented this... "Why?" I hear you ask... We thought it was fate that had lead us to this cinematic piece of art. Little did we know that it in fact, actually did (believe it, or not) SUCK! I have seen some bad movies in my time... but this is without a doubt the worst ever. It actually made "Tale of the Mummy", Trance (aka Kiss of the Mummy w/ Christoffer Walken) and any given Mr. Ed episode look like cinematic art that could surpass each and everyone of the Lord of the Rings Movies.... My movie-taste feels raped, and it's unsettling to know that money was paid to watch it :-( ... That's probably the most kind words I can use to describe that thing I refuse to call a movie...

Paul Andrews The Attic Expeditions starts with the revelation that Trevor Blackburn (Andras Jones) has murdered his fiancé Faith (Beth Bates). After a medical procedure went awry Trevor has been in a coma for the past four years in a sanatorium for the criminally insane run by the sinister Dr. Ek (Jeffrey Combs). Trevor regains consciousness & claims to remember nothing about Faith's death, Ek decides to try a little experiment out on Trevor & places him in the 'House of Love' run by Dr. Thalama (Wendy Robie), a sort of normal house environment for the insane to readjust to normal life or something like that. The other patients are the attractive Amy (Shannon Hart Cleary), Liz (Nancy Wolf), Doug (Seth Green) & Ronald (Jerry Hauck). At first things seem good but the very first night Trevor has a dream about going into the attic & finding a spooky old chest. The next day Trevor has an interesting & somewhat revealing conversation with Ronald who is murdered shortly after, Trevor has more dreams about Faith, operations & books about Black magic as he becomes more & more paranoid over who he can trust & just what the hell is going on...Directed by Jeremy Kasten this is one weird film, personally I really disliked it. The problem I have with The Attic Expeditions is the script by Rogan Russell Marshall which is an absolute incomprehensible mess. Nothing is this film is given any sort of closure, was it all a dream? A hallucination? Was it reality? Was half of it reality & half of it fantasy? I mean just what the hell was this film all about? Whats with the staircase hidden in a chest? Why does someone suddenly turn into a psycho killer? What with the book with blank pages? Whats with Dr. Ek? There are people who will like this sort of muddled plot & try to come up with lots of possibilities & theories which is fine I suppose but I like my films to have closure & come together rather than just end up all over the place. I can't stress enough just how much of a mess the narrative actually is, this film is all over the place & incredibly confusing. It likes to introduce twist & turn after twist & turn which in the end ties itself up in knots. I still don't have much of a clue about what happened & I'm not going to waste anymore of my life trying to figure it out. On a positive note at least it's original & tries to be different.Director Kasten must take a huge slice of the blame, the various plot threads just don't go anywhere & I'm at a loss to understand why he didn't try to tie the dreams, hallucinations & the reality together so it actually makes some kind of sense. What makes thing even worse is that there are some good ideas & I always felt there was a good film trying to break free of the muddled narrative. The gore is tame, a few splashes of blood & a (dream? reality? hallucination?) scene of Trevor with the top of his head sliced off & his brain exposed. There is some nice nudity too.With a relatively low budget of $1,000,000 The Attic Expeditions is a surprisingly well made film with really good cinematography, decent special effects, nice production values & it's well made. The acting is pretty good expect for Andras Jones the lead who was flat & bland. Horror genre favourite Jeffrey Combs deserves better than this.The Attic Expeditions is a mess of a film, I simply can't look at it any other way. I'm sure there are people who will like this & this is my own personal opinion but I really couldn't recommend this film to anyone, very disappointing.

nocturnallucidity Worth Watching Once - It's weird and poorly made. All throughout, you're making fun of their silly lines and production values. Yet somewhere, you begin to quiet down as everyone watching starts to piece together everything they're seeing. It's surprising, given my first impressions, that there actually is a decent underlying plot that's twisty and clever (if not overly gory and sex-ridden). Yet, though it does make you think, it's still only a so-so movie because of the bad acting and low budget.Special Features: Absolutely fantastically silly pretentious "behind the scenes" doc where they tout this as practically the best movie ever. Don't miss an interview with Alice Cooper about his 5 second cameo in the movie. They talk with him for at least 5 minutes, where he doesn't seem to know what the movie is about.Similar Movie: It has the same "avant-garde" and overly edgy feeling of May, though this was much lower budget and not as good. For another movie that appears bad yet actually has a decent underlying script/idea try Ghost Rig.
