Movie Review by B Movie Ben

June 21st, 2007

You're like a life support system for a c*ck!

This is definitely one for the Rose McGowan (Grindhouse, The Black Dahlia) fans. She is in various stages of undress throughout the entire movie.

She and her boyfriend James Duval (Donnie Darko) take a trip and pick up a passenger Johnathon Schaech (8MM 2) that definitely has a dark side. McGowan alternates between the two of them when Schaech is not blowing someone's head off. The talking head in the platter of chili cheese dogs is a must-see.

The film is definitely different. I detected a strong undercurrent of bisexuality throughout, and the ending may be hard for some to take, but this is definitely the most you will ever see of McGowan.

Gregg Araki films are generally a love 'em or hate 'em situation. This is actually the only one I've ever seen. I loved it, though it made me uncomfortable at the end. BECAUSE I was uncomfortable at the end. I liked the cameos, and how the number 666 kept showing up all over the place. PS: Rose McGowan also does full frontal in Going All The Way.

Well, and that dress with Marilyn Manson at the MTV whatever awards.

That 666 business was funny. I counted four - three purchases and the motel sign. I'll lookm for that movie. Wasn't that the one with Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald?

Not quite. It's a inconsequential trifle starring Ben Affleck and some other dude whose name I can't remember. Just about the only reason I would recommend it is for McGowan's small role.

Jeremy Davies. Kinda like a poor man's Henry Thomas.

Alright Penny.... stop logging in and then making me think that it's set to me. Bizzzatch!

One of my favorite quotes of all time (because I find it to be very true) is from that movie: ""I love you" can mean a lot of things... like "You'll do 'till someone better comes along," or "I can't describe how I really feel but I know that I'm supposed to say this," or "Shut up, I'm watching TV.' "

The movie had a lot of good quotes, and that was certainly a great one. Obviously, I was taken by the one I used in the title. It was so funny!
