[Q]: apparantly money talks .
. .
and uses quite a bit of obscenities doing so !
i 've always considered myself pretty open about the gratuity a film can possess , whether in language , violence , sex , or what have you .
i find that this fact gives me a little more leverage to complain when a movie goes overboard , and money talks definitely does !
it 's not so much that the movie swore nearly constantly ( and i mean constantly ! ) , but it swore so much that it seemed overly prominent and way too staged .
perhaps if one character were foul mouthed , but in this film , everybody swears nearly every other word .
money talks is about a black ticket scalper named franklin hatchett ( played less annoyingly than expected by chris tucker ) .
franklin is your typical con - man and ends up with more than one person out to get him .
when the plot finally gets underway , there 's no less than three people ( or groups ) that want him , dead or alive .
the frenchman who 's somewhat responsible for franklin 's escape from a prisoner - packed bus , a hoodlum whom franklin owes seven grand , and the cops who wrongly suspect him of murder .
franklin 's only hope : james russell ( charlie sheen ) , an investigative reporter for the local news who 's out to prove himself a worthy journalist .
james offers to help clear franklin 's name if franklin will just allow him an exclusive report to help channel 12 conquer sweeps week .
both of these elements are completely lost along the way however , and never do reappear .
as expected , the odd couple of franklin and james do wind up friends at the end , which is another wasted element seeing as how they show no signs of becoming friends at any point along the way .
there is just nothing original or intriguing about this film , and so many developments are either non - relevant , or just plain forgotten about . money talks is a paint - by - numbers movie that lacks any real involvment with the audience . frivilous dialogue , a predictable , flat storyline , and two - dimensional characters make money talks a reason to save your money .

[Q]: the film starts out with a creepy opening sequence to which has the now classic and creepy score by writer / director / producer john carpenter who in my mind is a brilliant director , he really is .
he wrote this film , he directed this film , he produced this film and he made the excessively creepy score to this film .
i think he is and always will be famous for this classic which after 21 years has not lost it 's popularity
or it 's ability to scare the wits out of people .
i think i have seen ' halloween ' over 100 times and each time i find something new and brilliant , and each time i am scared even though i know what is going to happen
.
i own three different versions of the film : a vhs regular version that came with a limited edition 20th anniversary t - shirt , a boxed edition vhs in a hardcover case digitally re - mastered with the original theatrical widescreen presentation , in a nifty plastic picture decorated box with a numbered snow - globe .
in other words
i am completely and utterly obsessed with the film .
it has changed horror movies forever and spawned six sequels with only 2 , 4 , and 7 being truly good .
it also spawned several cheap imitations of the film that were offensive in some ways to a true halloween fan .
since i heard about halloween being released on dvd in a limited edition of 30 , 000 copies , i knew i had to buy one no matter what !
i did and man
to me
it 's the best dvd ever manufactured with the brilliance of the film
.
no words can describe the dvd .
in ' halloween ' michael myers is a evil person whom killed his sister in cold blood 16 years ago in 1963 .
now in 1978 grown up and in a mental hospital michael myers escapes to go back to his hometown of haddonfield , illinois , followed by his past doctor sam loomis .
the person michael is targeting is laurie strode who is played by jamie lee curtis in her film debut .
why is he stalking her ? check out halloween
ii
it explains it all .
on this unholy night on october 31 , 1978 laurie strode and her two friends are going to have the time of their lives , which is trying to stay alive .
the whole film is filled with terrifying moments most coming from just seeing michael myers walk .
nick castle who played the shape in the first movie did an incredible job , and no other person in any other halloween flick can do what he did .
what john carpenter did in 1978 is made a ground - breaking new film , with scares , wit , and style .
the movie is flawless if not perfect .
no other movie or sequel has lived up to this one , and in my opinion never will .
'
halloween ' will be like ' psycho ' and
still be extremely popular even almost 40 years later
.
i just hope someday ' halloween ' will be released in a new dolby soundtrack with the 4 extra scenes on the dvd edition .
' halloween ' is n't just another slice - and - dice horror flick ,
it 's an intelligent , horrifying and best film experience ever made .
see ' halloween ' and be scared . . . .
then watch it again ! reviewed by brandon herring october 7 , 1999 .

[Q]: "
the end of the affair " is a dark and moody romantic period piece , that neil jordan exquisitely writes and directs .
although it 's slow and sometimes confusing to follow , it still manages to give audiences a moving experience .
based on graham greene 's novel of the same name , the film mainly follows 3 characters .
there 's maurice bendrix ( ralph fiennes ) who has an affair with henry mile 's ( stephen rea ) wife sarah ( julianne moore ) .
sarah finds henry to be a bore , because well , he 's just a normal guy .
it 's all work and no play with him .
while maurice on the other hand falls madly in love with sarah , and would do anything for her .
unfortunately the two break up .
this is all witnessed in a serious of flashbacks , so that leads us to the present .
it 's a few years later , and they both still think of each other , so maurice hires a private detective ( ian hart ) to see what sarah is up too .
while this may sound straight forward it 's not .
it 's a deep dark tale of the jealousy that lies in the two men , unhappiness , and the ever lasting love .
all this may sound like a drag , but it really captures your interest . with great performances by ralph fiennes ( doing another english patient type of film , only this movie is better ) and julianna moore who definitely deserves an oscar because out of all 5 films she did in 1999 , i believe this was the role ,
she had the most passion for , and you can see why .
the story was also well written thanks to neil jordan .
even though i did n't read the book ,
there 's no doubt in mind that it was just as moving and descriptive .
what 's so moving about it you ask ?
the tragedy of it all .
it 's not the typical romance , in which a guy finds a girl , they fall in love and all is well
, this is more complicated and depressing .
it really shows the complexity of a relationship , because nothing is ever perfect .
everyone feels a different way and that is what tears us to pieces .
back to neil jordan 's script , it was n't only red roses .
there were times when i felt it
too be a little slow , but most romances are .
it also tended to be a bit confusing , especially at the start .
it keep jumping around from past to present , so it obviously took awhile to get a grasp of things .
also a notable was the superb direction by neil jordan .
i 'd have to say this is his finest achievement to date , because quite frankly i 've never really found his work to be up to par .
it just never did anything for me , until now .
when it ends , it leaves viewers a little saddened , but provoked nonetheless .
this is definitely one of the best films of 99 , and had some of the best acting , most notably by moore .
not for all movie goers , but for those who are film buffs and want something of value .
