A Real Love Story





Well Women always say that guy's never like the idea of someone falling inlove with someone the first time they meet and basically would do anything for each other. Well Ladies I am here to tell you that we have our answer to chick Flicks and it's called "Dick Flick" though it sounds like a rather interesting sexual act, it is true and well The Ultimate Dick Flick would have to be the Tony Scott Directed, Tarantino written film

TRUE ROMANCE (1993) (US)

Clarence Worley is what your typical Nerd with great taste would be (Elvis Fanatic also). Just that he is played by a Good Looking Leading actor in Christian Slater but still it is shown that he is basically what at the time Nerds would always see themselves as (A Bad Ass who lives in his own world and not apologizing for it). It is then that he meets "by chance" Alabama a beautiful Blonde Bombshell played by Patricia Arquette who after taking this role in my opinion became my ideal woman (Watch the movie and you will see why.)

After a night of enjoying some Triple Shots of Sonny Chiba they go out for pie to find out more about one another and it seems that these two are just a match made in Heaven. All it takes is Clarence to explain to Alabama a deep meaning of a Sgt. Nick Fury comic (which I use to have :-D) they share a night of passionate love making.

After the blue lit intercourse Clarence wakes up to find Alabama gone out the window, he follows her to see that she is crying, it is revealed that their meeting was not by chance but by scheduled appointment from Clarance's boss who decided to give him an amazing birthday gift (wish my employers were that awesome but then again I wish I worked at an awesome job like Clarence) But Clarence being so cool just says that he had a great time despite knowing the truth about Alabama and she seems to respond with the same feelings but with a little more to it than just Like, The Two are married due to mutual feelings that one IS the others Soul Mate.

Our story does not end here cause well then that would just make it seem a little too easy, All I can tell you is that it later involves a Pimp, a Film Producer and a Hotel I ain't gonna reveal to you everything this movie has to offer but I will tell you that this movie basically has everyone in it.

Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Sam Jackson, Chris Penn,Tom Seizmore, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hoopper, James Gandolfini, Jack Black (Deleted Scene) and Balki Bartokomous.

This movie will have you Laughing, crying and just plain out saying "What The Fuck?"

If you feel the need to tell your girlfriend you wanna watch something that you think she is gonna like then you just need to tell her some of the names on that list and basically teh first 20 minutes of the movie.

So Ladies when you feel like telling a guy that he has no soft side to him then you better be ready to take a lap nap on the meat pillow because you are gonna see the greatest love story ever written.

Today's Revenge: Open Origins


VIGILANTE (1983) (US)

If you think about it any revenge flick can be an origin story especially if the continuation is brilliant - decent. But many times it is really not called for especially if the Hero kills everyone who was involved in the first place. But this particular title was something I think could have had a great sequel to if done right like this one was.

Vigilante was brought to us by William Lustig, the man who brought us classics like "Maniac", "Maniac Cop", "Relentless", "Maniac Cop 2", ect.). Many people would consider this to be a better version of Death wish. Do not get me wrong I love Death Wish and the developing stories of Paul Kersey, but Vigilante is a movie that gave you characters that you wanted to see more of. Robert Forster is billed as the head star of the flick but Fred "THE HAMMER" Williamson steals the show from the very start of the film with an amazing speech to the citizens tired of all the crime in the streets that seriously can beat any cliche' sounding speech put in today's cinema. (This speech was used as the selling clip to fund the rest of the movie). If there was anything that went together about this movie was that is had the feel of a modern (at the time) Spaghetti Western, hell even the theme song made it seemed like an urban western LISTEN!



GOD!Doesn't that shit just make you wanna put on whatever game you got and just blow away suckaz? Anywho I feel like I am getting off subject.

Well Forster is a family man who you can totally tell by the tender moments with his family at the start of the flick is gonna end real bad. Once it does he tries to take the crook through the system which of course is always of no help, especially since they are under the payroll of the criminals and also the defense is led by the Late Great Maniac himself Joe Spinell. After a short sentence given to the suspect involved. Forster loses it and snaps at the court which lands him in contempt. But while in Prison he has nothing but built up rage along with some problems on the inside to deal with. Outside Forster's Buddy played by Williamson is out cleaning the streets with his crew to try and find out some more information on who was responsible for the attack on Forster's family.

This movie ends on a note that this might not be the last time you see the characters that maybe one day there will be a sequel. (But like I said only if done properly please enjoy the opening speech from Vigilante and pick it up from Blue Underground DVD. You will be glad that you did.
