At last I saw "Paparazzi", and I really enjoyed it! It was very entertaining.

Bo Laramie is famous actor, but he always get annoyed by paparazzi. One day, nasty paparazzi, Rex Harper took photos of Bo's son, Zach. Bo felt anger, and he hit Rex. But from this moment, Rex and his paparazzi's friends started nasty act to Bo. Because of them, Bo and his family got car accident. Nevertheless, instead of rescue, they took Bo's pictures. His son fell into a coma. This time, Bo couldn't brook their nasty acts without speaking. He started revenge to them!

Yes, this movie's theme is "REVENGE". Revenge by the man who lost privacy. For Bo's way of revenge, I wanted to shout "That's good job! Go get them and kick their butts!", but I kept myself.Big Grin Cole Hauser played Bo. Tom Sizemore played Rex. When I first saw this movie's trailer, they looked like Repairman Jack and Richie Cordova in "Crisscross". Actually, Tom Sizemore truly look like Richie Cordova. Both characters are photographer, a blackmailer, a violent fat guy. As I said before, Cole Hauser is definitely good for Reapirman Jack.

By the way, when you saw this movie, you can find out three famous actors.

While it falls squarely into the precious category of love-it-or-leave-it art-house oddities, the hypnotically absurd Swedish comedy Songs from the Second Floor is certainly unlike any other movie you've ever seen. That alone is reason to check it out, and many pleasures await those who are receptive to director Roy Andersson's conspicuously offbeat worldview, presented here as a series of marginally connected vignettes illustrating a bleak world that has literally ground to a halt. A perpetual traffic jam lurches through an urban landscape imbued with post-apocalyptic atmosphere, a ghost town populated by pale, shell-shocked citizens bereft of hope and teetering on the edge of collective madness. Characters and plot are nonexistent in any conventional sense; it's as if Andersson has cast himself as a detached God, gazing upon these lost souls from a distant remove, as if they were fish in a tank, lumbering through their oppressive city like zombies at the dead-end of civilization. Described by critic J. Hoberman as "slapstick Ingmar Bergman," this highly unusual film is certainly not for everyone, but if you're on its wavelength it's sure to prove unforgettably amusing. --Jeff Shannon

I "borrowed" this description from Amazon because I didn't know how to put this film into words, and Shannon hit the nail on the head. On the dvd case a quote says this is "like a Bergman film as realized by Monty Python." I love MP so I snatched it up and settled in for some good laughs. As it turns out this isn't my style of humor. There were a couple of Pythonish gags but for the most part it was just plain... bland. I can't say not to watch it because some of you may find the humor and artistic value in this film, but for the average Joe like myself is was a total waste of money and time.

I don't understand how movies like this receive such raving reviews. :confused:

It reminded me of John Waters film, "Polyester". I'll go to a theatre see it next week, but I hope Skank doesn't appear in "The New World". Rolleyes

Dick gets a big promotion at work which he soon loses as his company goes under, ala Enron. Months later he still hasn't found a job and the repos begin. He and Jane do everything they can to make ends meet but fail and are forced to turn to a life of crime, and finally revenge on the boss that screwed everyone.

A really funny film. I thought they did a great job with it. Well worth the rental.

Robert Redford lives on a ranch in Wyoming where he cares for his only trusted friend, Morgan Freeman. One day his (ex)daughter-in-law (Jennifer Lopez), whom he blames for the death of his only son, shows up in desperate need of help and with a granddaughter he never knew existed. A connection is possible if the anger, blame, and guilt can be dealt with and forgiveness found.

I really liked this movie. Freeman and Redford together - WOW! And Lopez does a great job as well. A really good story. It has it's unrealistic moments at times but the good far outweighs the bad. Highly recommend this film.

Hello.

As I've run out of RJ books for the moment, I've been reading some other FPW books. The last one I read was Healer, which I really, really enjoyed!

I noticed from Dave M's Cross Reference that there're a number of other books linked to this one, such as Wheels Within Wheels, The Tery, An Enemy of the State, Dydeetown World, etc. But is there an order that I should read them in?

I also noticed that Peter LaNague was mentioned in Healer, and I've seen this name around quite a bit in these forums (and in the RJ store!), but what books do I need to read to find out more? And again, is there an order?

Cheers everyone.

Kevin.

[SIZE="3"]FYI - This just in from Barry Hoffman of Gauntlet Press:[/SIZE]

Wanted to let you know my printer projects shipping HARBINGERS April 21. As I have more orders (from national distributors) than books, if you can mention something on your website . . . I want to make sure individuals who want the book can get a copy.

[SIZE="3"]In other words, the signed/limited Harbingers is sold out. But if any of you order in the next week or so, Barry will pull copies from the distributors' orders and divert them to you.[/SIZE]

Are issues 3-5 of the Keep miniseries out yet? I went to IDW (where I got the first two) and there is still no mention of any of the others.
