Amazon.com essential video

Director John Waters creates here a wickedly funny--and nasty--comedy starring Kathleen Turner as the ultimate suburbanite: a woman so obsessed with suburban perfection that she kills a neighbor for not separating her recyclables. Hubby Sam Waterston and kids Matthew Lillard and Ricki Lake don't have a clue that in fact it is squeaky-clean mom who is the killer at large in their Baltimore neighborhood and who has murdered, among others, the guy who dumped her daughter. The final courtroom scene is a riot, turning her into a celebrity defendant (long before O.J.) and featuring a terrific cameo by Patty Hearst (yes, that Patty Hearst). Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Waters's fans will find him in classic form. --Marshall Fine

A "Different Movie" not what you'd expect!.......2007-05-13

That's for sure! I saw some of it being made too! In Towson MD!

Kathleen Turner is great...Waters went commercial on this though.......2007-03-29

This is a must have if you are a John Waters fan. Kathleen Turner does the greatest job of a suburban housewife gone whacko. Many will poo-poo this work by Waters since it is a little mainstream and commercialized, but I laughed a lot with this movie and would highly recommend it to any sicko out there.

Are Those Pussy Willows Dotty?.......2007-03-03

John Waters did a terrific job on this movie. The casting is great. I can't believe they got Kathleen Turner to do the things she did in this movie. The movie starts out all sweet and cute with family breakfast and then some detectives stop by to question folks in the neighborhood about a lady in the neighborhood who is being sent some pretty nasty mail. Once the detectives and kids leave we then get a glimpse into the world of Beverly Sutfid while she makes a prank phone call. This entire scene is destined to be a comedy classic...Serial Mom then goes on a killing spree because some people have insulted her and her family. This movie is funny!!!!!!!!

Over-the-Top, But That's the Point.......2006-08-10

When people (mostly critics) mention two John Waters films they say Hairspray and Serial Mom. The first John Waters film I ever saw was "Pink Flamingos" and until I watched this, that film was the only one I had seen. Waters made that film (commonly called the most disgusting film ever made and rightly so) to get his name out there; His plan worked. He never made a film like that movie, but he still makes films with the intention of shocking his audience. Serial Mom is a comedy that is very over-the-top and has a lot to say about the media. Having only seen Pink Flamingos, I can't believe the same person wrote and directed both of these movies. They both have a strange vision for sure, but they're very different films. Kathleen Turner ('The Virgin Suicides') plays Beverly Sutphin is the definition of a perfect suburban mom. She's like those characters you see in 60's television shows like Leave It to Beaver. She has a loving husband (Sam Waterston)and two children (Ricki Lake and Scooby Doo's Matthew Lillard) Misty and Chip. Everything seems perfect; Then two detectives show up at the Sutphin household to ask Beverly about obscene phone calls her neighbor Dottie (Mink Stole, who worked with Waters on Pink Flamingos as Connie Marble)has been getting. But, Beverly couldn't possibly be making such calls. Or is she? Pretty soon, obscene phone calls escalate to murder, which begins with her son Chip's math teacher. When Beverly is finally arrested after a series of murders, the film really goes over-the-top. The movie isn't perfect; Kathleen Turner is perfect as Beverly Sutphin, but the movie has its share of flaws. It's not hilariously funny, it's mildly funny. The comedy is more to be appreciated than to be enjoyed. This movie is entertaining and it's funny how true most of this stuff is. Look for cameos by former porn star Traci Lords and John Waters as the voice of Ted Bundy. If you like Waters' stuff, check this movie out. If you don't, stay away.

GRADE: B-

One of the best comedies ever. .......2006-06-26

This film was made in 1994, a few years after "Cry-Baby". John Waters has a Hollywood sized budget to work with and continues his path to more "mainstream" targeted movies. But for those fans who fear this would compromise Waters' humour - don't worry, it doesn't.

"Serial Mom" has the qualities that many mainstream comedies lack. It can be seen as satire, or you can just turn your brain off and have lots of fun. The dialogue is hysterical and the cast does a wonderful job, especially Kathleen Turner in the title role. In this film, she makes one of the greatest comedic roles in film history. I also love Mink Stole as the neighbor and unknown Patsy Grady Abrams as Emmy Lou, a customer in the local video store who only rents family films - and doesn't rewind!

While this is quite different from the films Waters made 20 years earlier, it is by no means worse. This may very well be his best movie, and one of my favorite comedies ever. I would recommend it to Waters fans as well as those who aren't yet familiar with him. If you buy the region 1 DVD you get a nice director's commentary.

Description

He's a composite of some 200 personalities, each and every one a notorious killer. He's Sid 6.7, a virtual reality creation designed to put L.A. police officers to the test. But Sid isn't playing games anymore. He's escaped the bounds of cyberspace. And if you think he's unconquerable in the world of bits and bytes, wait till you see what Sid has in store for a world of flesh and blood. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe square off on opposite sides of the law and on both sides of reality in this thunderous cyber-age thriller from the director of The Lawnmower Man. Crowe (L.A. Confidential) plays Sid: Sadistic, Intelligent, Dangerous - and able to take a licking and keep on kicking because he can regenerate his silicon-based body parts. Washington portrays Parker Barnes, a Los Angeles cop who once took the law into his own hands... and now carries the fate of the city in them. It's his job to shut Sid down. But how do you stop the virtually unstoppable?

Okay, But Not Great Sci-Fi Thriller.......2007-04-12

With Virtuosity having Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, you would think, or at least hope that this would be an all-time classic. But instead, this film is a fairly solid, not bad, but not great film, where special effects and an overwrought screenplay almost upend tow of the best actors of our generation.

In Virtuosity, a world of the future has developed a novel way to train police officers. They take a computer program and imbue it with the personalities of over 100 serial killers, and put officers into virtual reality training using the model, known as SID 6.7. As these things tend to go in science fiction films, artificial intelligence runs amok, and Sid 6.7 implants himself in an android and goes on a rampage.

The only solution to thwart SID 6.7 is using an ex-cop, Parker Barnes, who been in jail for a while to catch. The rest of the film is a cat-and-mouse chase between SID, played by still largely unknown Crowe and Barnes, played by Washington.

The film has cool special effects, an interesting plot, and two great actors anchoring the movie. But the script weighs things down, and the ending confrontation seems to go on forever. This film is not bad, but it could have been a lot better.

Great Movie!.......2006-12-08

One of the few science fiction movies that not only entertains, but carries a lot of subtle messages about the society we live in. Mr. Washington is great as the "criminal" cop, who chases down the personification of evil programmed into a software program. Mr. Crowe is also great as the composite of evil. The term "ahead of its time" does not do this one justice. Add this one to your Sci-Fi collection. But this one left me asking is their such a thing as science "fiction"?

Always Been A Classic.......2006-11-02

I believe this movie was light years ahead of it's time when it was made, great concept, awesome story line, and top dollar actors. Possibly the greatest movie ever, depending on what kind of movies you like. If you like action and technology in your movies with a little bit of suspense then you've come to the right place, buy this movie. You won't be disappointed.

Whoa!.......2006-10-12

Give a good actor a juicy role, no matter how tacky the vehicle is, and watch him go! Russell Crowe, who here gives Rutger Hauer some stiff competition in the psycho department, (think Roy Batty from "Blade Runner" and "The Hitcher",) stars as SID 6.7 in this sci-fi adventure set SEVEN YEARS AGO. SID is a virtual reality program that the Los Angeles PD wants to use to train its officers in the ways of sociopathic perps. However, in the beginning of the movie, when we're getting all the tech exposition, SID manages, through the dastardly ministrations of his programmer, to work his neural net into an actual self-regenerating android, able to wreak havoc on the city. SID, standing for "Sadistic, Intelligent and Dangerous", is a compendium of hundreds of serial killers and sociopathic personalities, which makes him formidable, indeed! One of those personalities is the man who killed the wife and daughter of Parker Barnes, an ex-cop serving time for manslaughter after killing a civilian by mistake on duty. What follows is a non-stop, roller coaster cat and mouse game the minute the killer inside SID recognizes Barnes and begins to taunt him, just like the actual person did when he was alive. Because of SID's morbid attachment to Barnes, the LAPD tech dept., that created SID, LETAC, recruits Barnes to go after him after he starts to wreak havoc on the city.

Russel Crowe chews the scenery like a barracuda on uppers as he relishes every saidstic, evil deed SID performs in this movie. Washington's performance is phoned in, but he still acquits himself nicely, getting the job done. The ending is tense as all get-out, with you not knowing exactly what's real and what isn't in the film, and there are a few twists taken with this premise, but I guarantee you, you will be on the edge of your seat with this flick, a flick that seemed to jumpstart Crowe's career and was a bit of slumming for Denzel Washington, who had already won an Oscar for his work in "Glory" and was well on his way to becoming a latter day legend. I can't help thinking that this movie started a competition between the two actors, who seem to have been in a status race SINCE this movie, as if Parker and SID are still chasing each other!

The plot thickens!!

Didn't like the soft pornography in this so called remake........2006-01-23

Didn't care for it. Contained soft pornography. The wheelchair bound adolescent kid looking thru a rather obvious hole in a wall, peering at his aunt in the next room having sex with her customers. Didn't have anything to do with anything. I was counting on a more original remake, I guess. I should have known better. I didn't pay attention to the rating. My fault. They put pornography in just about everything nowadays. Cars are cars, and pornography is pornography. I wanted to watch a JD car flick.

sweet little nothing.......2004-10-28

When you're weary and tired after a hard day's work, 'Dragstrip girl' makes a nice watch. This B-movie provides an easy-going story in a well-created fifties-atmosphere. The good-looking actors and actresses come out well, Traci Lords adding her peppery edge by playing a prostitute. All this supported by pretty enjoyable music.

Charismatic Mark Dacascos is the sensitive fighting machine fresh from prison who pays a visit to former cellmate Jaimz Woolvett, a shaggy drug addict hooked up with a motley gang. Dacascos wants out of the life but grudgingly agrees to tag along for a big score, which erupts into a chaotic double-cross that sends the crew scattered across L.A. and the two buddies out of town where their fragile relationship--based on the vestiges of a prison affair even they dare not discuss--begins to crack under Woolvett's cold-turkey cravings. The tension builds to a taut, slickly choreographed confrontation at a deserted hotel owned by zoned-out hippie surfer Frederic Forrest when a mob of vengeful drug dealers arrives for their violent revenge. It's a shame this modest Tarantino-esque grunge noir thriller got lost in the theatrical shuffle, for writer-director Craig Hamann pulls together an engaging cast and gives the picture a solid, stylish look. The film pays off in an impressive climactic slugfest, in which kickboxer Dacascos finally gets to show off his stuff, but it's Hamann's sensitivity to character and his thoughtfully developed relationships that provide the solid foundation to this brooding low-budget thriller. --Sean Axmaker

BOOGIE BOY Review.......2004-03-01

Mark Dascascos takes a step away from his usual straight-to-video martial arts B-titles with this dark and disturbing drama involving a recently-paroled drummer trying to get his life together. After getting caught up in a bloody ambush involving drugs, Dascascos and his old cellmate, a strung-out junkie, played by Jaimz Woolvet, head on the road. Mark's character, Jesse, is hoping to earn a gig as a drummer for a band in Detriot but is unaware that he and his buudy are being tracked by the vengeful siblings of the slain drug dealers they left dead.

"Boogie Boy" is a decent turn for Dascascos who is best known for his work as a martial arts movie star. There is some decent humor in here and the writing shows glimpses of wit though the film really never goes anywhere as far as overall storytelling is concerned. If you're looking for a good time-killer, this isn't a bad movie at all. For those wondering, the "From The Academy-Award Winning Writer Of Pulp Fiction" title on the cover sleeve refers to executive producer Roger Avery who co-wrote the first draft of "Fiction".

Boogie Boy is excellent.......2001-06-23

Boogie Boy delves into the world of drugs in a unique and facinating way. The fine actors in this film do an excellent job of revealing the characters' personalities. The director brings all the layers of friendship, devotion, betrayal, mystery and action in a believable and inspiring way. Mark Dacascos is finally able to display his excellent acting skills in the role of Jessie Page. Jessie is fresh out of jail determined to stay out for good. His best friend talks him into one last drug deal which goes bad. The storyline in Boogie Boy is very good. The ending is excellent. The acting, superb. The fight scenes are very well done. The humor is great. I highly recommend this film. This film is not for younger children.

Mark is great.......1999-06-08

Overall I thouroughly enjoyed Mark Dacascos performance. I thought he shows that he is more than just a "karate" guy. Though he plays a deep role on the series "The Crow: STH", this role is way deeper and alot more complex. I was brought down by the movies overall bleak feel, but its about a young man trying to get back on the right track, but his old associations seem to keep getting him in trouble. If your a Mark Dacascos fan, a must see.

A compelling story.......1999-04-28

Boogie Boy is a must for anyone searching for a good story. I only recently discovered Mark Dacascos and rushed to find anything he had been in. Initially I wasn't sure I'd like this movie as it's not my usual style. Was I wrong! From the first frames I was drawn into this compelling story of a troubled young man trying deperately to put his life back on track. Dacascos' potrayal of the main character was riveting. He masterfully balances every side of this character. In one scene he's a fragile young man seeking acceptance and "normalcy" and in the next he's an angry young man just trying to survive. If you're tired of "cotton-candy" movies and would prefer to see something a little more compelling then check out Boogie Boy. It's definately worth the time!

This movie is a must for Dacascos fans!.......1999-03-16

Despite the title, this is a serious, sometimes heavy movie. It allows Mark Dacascos to act, not show off his fighting skills. It is also the first time I have ever seen Mark play the drums (for real). Just released from prison, he joins up with his former cell mate (lover?). He wants to stay out of trouble, but things just don't work out that way. He gets talked into taking part in a drug deal that goes bad, and things get worse after that. I don't want to give away the films plot or ending, but I have to say I was surprised at Dacascos' performance. Watch closely for the subtle looks he give his former cell-mate - leaving the question of their relation almost answered. He seems to have come a long way since his earlier movies, and this character is a far cry from the tough-guy roles I am used to seeing him in. If you are looking for a movie that showcases his martial arts abilities, forego this one - stick with Only the Strong. If you want to see Mark do something totally different, this is a definite must. A far cry from the Crow - in this role Mark's character portral is almost feminine. A role stretch he handles nicely.

Could the assassinations and scandals that rocked America in the 60's and 70's have been perpetrated by the same people who caused the cocaine epidemic that swept this nation during the 1980s?

See the results of a three-year investigation into the life and times of one of the most famous CIA agents and successful drug smugglers in America's history - Barry Seal.

Customer Reviews:

When it comes to the drug trade, the sky's the limit.......2007-06-21

America's most successful and notorious drug smuggler can be easily identified, from certain evidence given, as Barry Seal. Reputed to be a former CIA agent involved in events from flying weapons to Castro insurgents to piloting a getaway plane after the JFK assassination to many more things in-between, his exploits are practically legendary. Much of this occurred before his drug running days which peaked from 1981 to 1986. During this time frame, the government itself estimated that he flew about 5 billion dollars worth of cocaine into a small airport in Mena, Arkansas and this was his base of operations for much of his illegal activity.

Examining the life and times of Barry Seal is a fascinating tale in and of itself because of the information regarding certain people he knew and those supposedly complicit in some of his crimes. The total extent of things he did and those he associated with are even today mired in secrecy to a degree but the names of famous, influential, and powerful people dropped in this story are big ones. Just a few of the many individuals mentioned in this program are Lee Harvey Oswald, David Ferrie, Pablo Escobar, Bill Clinton, Vince Foster, George W. Bush, Edwin Meese, Oliver North, and Asa Hutchinson.

As incredible as all this might sound, research done for this documentary appears to be quite extensive and believable. Even though all the dots might not connect just right, there is a large amount of intriguing evidence, photographs, video footage, eyewitness testimony, interviews and other supporting facts that deserve a hard look. It's a lot to take in and digest all at one time but much of it does make for great controversy and conspiracy theory. A nice companion documentary that builds on and reveals even more of this story, (the producers even recommend watching both of these as they compliment one another), is `Conspiracy: The Secret History: The Secret Heartbeat of America: The C.I.A. and Drugs'.

I picked up Great Mafia Movies plus GMM Volume Two, and Crime Lords, and was disappointed. I went in with low expectations (which in turn was too high). They are no Godfather. These movies will put you to sleep. Video quality is poor and in some instances the color fades to green, yellow, etc. I picked up each one for six dollars (new), and still feel cheated. Save your money for one quality movie.

!Aburrido!.......2006-10-16

To its credit, I think this film tries to touch upon issues of avoiding temptation, honoring the straight and narrow, and keeping one's marriage together. However, that's about where the good stuff ends.
This is a low-budget stinker that is just tedious to watch. Silly things happen in it. You hear thunder, but when the main character goes outside, it's not raining and doesn't look like it will. He makes an impromptu grave but isn't sweaty or dirty after doing it.
Many critics of Spanish-language TV and film have condemned the media for focusing on white Hispanics and practically ignoring those of African or Native ancestry. The same problem happens here. On the one hand, Southern Florida is supposed to be a special place because of its unique ethnic blend and Cuban population. However, hiring no phenotypic people of color for this film is offensive and shuts doors to actors of color who could have benefited from the experience.
This film steals from "Scarface," "Goodfellas," "Menace II Society," and probably many others. Only watch this if you truly want to see something that is low-quality.
