**** (Getting ready to duck !) Yes, I know this will bring
me some major "heat" but I think The Godfather part. 2 is a
2.5/5 film ... the first one is much better, 3.5/5 ... I
was so bored watching the 2nd one and the 3rd one was even
more painful, 1.5/5 ? ... I think I fast forwarded the last
15 minutes of the 3rd one because I was starting to pull my
hair out ! ... I think Coppola in general is overrated, he
sure makes loooooooooooong films that go on and on and on
... Zzzzz !
There is still a whole heap of 'vidkids' in
> this world, people raised on re-runs of roger ramjet
> and saturday morning matinee's of crappy action films

> BORING!!!
*** Sorry, I'm 29 years old and I don't even play video
games and/or watch cartoons ! The reason I give a
relatively low (2.5/5, 50% !) score to TGP2 is that I kept
looking at my watch wondering when it would end, not
enjoying the experience despite the great acting,
dialogues, etc. ... I was not entertained, or hardly, hard
to appreciate a film like that for that very simple reason
!
can u believe that? well its true, some of
> my own friends think in this way. People who have
> actually seen this movie all the way through will

**** Nah, I know I am in the minority who doesn't think
this film is amazing ... so I wouldn't say you are "wrong"
if you like it ... nobody is wrong or right anyway as this
is a matter of taste ! I like "violent" films a la
Scorsese and Tarantino, seems pretty clear if you look at
my Top 10 ! ;-)

***** I think the best film is the first one ... (Would
they have made a 2nd film if it had flopped ??) ;-) It's
a lot more entertaining overall !
I guess a

**** Mmmmmm ... behave !! I don't think someone who likes
Mortal Kombat or any of those comedies coming out these
days, Joe Dirt, Freddy got fingered, Tomcats ... etc. is
any better or worse than I am ... I just disagree with them
about what is a "good" film and what is not ... all sorts
of people around the world like those silly films ... if
everyone was like me they wouldn't make ANY money at all !

Jon
****** Well, thank you !! Yes, I like Scorsese, Tarantino,
The Coen brothers ... and Leaving Las Vegas is an amazing
film, I was even thinking of putting it at number 1 but
then I thought Goodfellas deserved it more ... still a 5/5
and I only gave that rating to 20 to 25 films ever ... I
haven't given a 5/5 since I saw "American beauty" unless I
am mistaken so it's not like I give those away easily !
Cheers !
Marc ;-)

with everything you say basically ... this films was VERY
funny and I would even say it is hilarious in part ... I

(The movie is consistantly funny which is good, you don't

Hey - it's part 8 of my movie list! Anyone who is missing the first 7 =
parts let me know. Email me at akanizaj@powersurfr.com with any =
questions.
Zombi 3 and Zombi 4: Afterdeath - The official sequels to Zombie aka =
Zombi 2, which is an unofficial sequel to DawnOf The Dead. All done by =
Lucio Fulci.
Demons 3 : Ogre - The official sequel to Lamberto Bava's Demons and =
Demons 2, all directed by the man himself.
Emanuelle In America - This is the extremely rare uncut version of the =
sickest, most obscene Emmanuelle movie ever. Featuring harcore sex and =
snuff films, it is impossible to find this without severe editing. A =
quoted in the Bible of snuff films "Killing For Culture" - (The Dutch =
version) is sadly lacking in all harcore sex departments, and much of =
the more extreme snuff footage has also been cut. Other prints elsewhere =
in the world...retain all of the hardcore footage and none of the snuff, =
others play to the contrary. (Only one has) both all of the sex and =
snuff intact. In its uncut form, the scene in which Emanuelle first =
happens upon the mysterious (snuff) film far exceeds the revulsion of =
seeing a foetus being ripped from a pregnant woman and devoured in =
D'Amato's later movie, Anthropophagous The Beast. (That's right, Joe =
D'Amato made this Emanuelle movie as well !!)
Sam Raimi's Short Films - The man who did the Evil Dead films, Army of =
Darkness, and recent sell out shit. These are from his creative period, =
most star his buddy Bruce Campbell, and include uncut workprint footage =
of his Evil Dead films with footage never before seen.
Heaven's Gate Initiation Tape - The initiation tape for the cult group =
who believed they would ascend with the Hale Bop Comet if they castrated =
themselves, put on Nikes, and killed themselves. The guy never blinks I =
swear. I almost ran out and joined after watching this hypnotic shit.
Guinea Pig: Bloody Fragments On White Walls - More fun from Japan's most =
disgusting video series. This one takes place in an operating room and =
starts with a womans entrails falling out of her vagina. This is what I =
hear I haven't watched it yet. but if you love this stuff this will not =
dissapoint.
Secret Life Of Jeffery Dahmer - A chilling and almost too realistic =
representation of Dahmer's career as a serial killer/cannibal.
Emmanuelle and The Last Cannibals - aka Trap Them and Kill Them Directed =

think they're so hard and got skillz but they SUCK and are soft as =
jello. Not to mention they don't realize how often they piss off =
everybody by saying nigga this nigga that. He fantasizes about running =
shit in jail and pimpin in the corn field - if you haven't seen this yet =
you have to.
Night Porter Director's Cut - This is the 117 min cut of the twisted =
Dick Bogarde movie about a Nazi who rapes a woman in a concentration =
camp. She loves it so much that when she sees him years later she =
doesn't turn him in but instead starts their kinky sex life again. =
Includes the unedited sex-on-broken-glass scene.
New York Ripper (LBX) - Lucio Fulci's cool slasher flick puts back the 4 =
minutes that were originally cut to avoid an X rating.
Panama Deception - Let me quote from the Video Movie Guide: "This =
blistering, Oscar winning documentary chronicles the events leading to =
the US invasion of Panama , actually a crusade designed to renegotiate =
the trety that would have given Panama control of the strategically =
critical Panama Canal by the year 2000. Although these often grim images =
are laced with explicit footage of burned children and civilians crushed =
by tanks, the most chilling fact to emerge is that the US mainstream =
media were duped into reporting only what the Regan and Bush =
administrations wanted them to see."
Times Of Harvey Milk - The story of San Francisco's first gay city =
councilman who was murdered by a guy who got off with the infamous =
Twinkie defense. A must see for anybody curious about this fascinating =

From: Marc Desbiens <marcdesbiens@yahoo.com>
Subject: [MV] Girlfight - 2000
I liked this film but it was still a slight disappointment
as before seeing it I was thinking it certainly had a shot
at my Top 10 favorites for 2000 ... It ends up at 3/5 so it
won't make it.
Simple story of a naughty girl who gets in trouble in
school fighting people so one day she decides to start
training to become a boxer. We also meet her drunken
father and her lil' brother that was also training to be a
boxer at one point but he was so bad that he decided to
quit and make drawings instead. ;-) We see her train,
fight, train, fight, meet a nice boy at the gym, flirt,
talk to her girlfriend, swear for no reason ... etc.
The entire film is very predictable and I could see all the
"twists" coming from far away ... especially the ones
involving the boyfriend ! (Santiago Douglas) ;-)
Good work by Michelle Rodriguez in the lead, she is indeed
in good shape and almost made me believe she could be an
amateur fighter ... but it's pretty clear that she could
never really win a whole lot of fights, unless she fights
only beginners ... Her technique was more than questionable
... Plus, could she really win fighting against boys ...
even if they are the same weight ??
I find that unlikely ...
At one point she is having a discussion with a boxer, one
of her opponents ... and she is supposed to be the exact
same weight as him according to the script (125 pounds even
!) ... yet it was obvious to me that the boy weighed at
least 15 pounds more, he was 6 inches taller and his arms
were certainly bigger (I almost laughed when he said in a
whining voice : "I gave everything I had but you beat me
..." ... ;-) snif ! snif ! If he had *really* given
everything he had I think she would have ended up in a
hospital ...
*For your information*
Roger Ebert : 3.5/4
James Beradinelli : 3.5/4
They are VERY generous ... During the movie I kept thinking
of "On the ropes" a great documentary about boxing that is
a lot more realistic and that also features a boxing girl.
Marc ;-)
