Micitype Pretty Good
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) For all those who love to have a good time, this movie is for you. In "Get Crazy", a theater owner who thought he was going to die realize he's soon be having fun every year rather than worrying. His theater has the best guests, the best music, and the best surprises. He has some obstacles he must avoid. A former worker(Ed Begley, Jr., "St. Elsewhere") who wants the building for his own. Along with his cronies(Fabian Forte & Bobby Sherman) would go to extremes to get it. With a lot of performers in there. One of them Reggie(Malcolm McDowell) kinda finds himself in a personal rut. He has the Countess(Anna Bjorn) but ends up preoccupied with other women. So when she sees the stagehand, she seduces him. Good for him, bad for Reggie. While the party goes on, the countdown to New Year's is yonder way. And everything is good to go. This movie is a bit of a spoof of a lot of stars, but the tribute is for real. I thought this movie was a lot of fun. But it is now a tribute to Lou Reed, who played the reclusive hit maker of the day. It is a always and forever, a true gem! R.I.P. LOU REED! 3 out of 5 stars.
wsandberg-1 I have this on tape and have made it a tradition, to be watched each New Years Eve for the past 20 years .... just can't think of not doing it. After Dick Clark and Times Square go off, on goes the movie. A movie about New Years Eve on New Years Eve ... what could be better. Sneaking up on 67, it's nice to know that my kids remember me doing this and still ask about to this day. It's a fun movie ... ENJOY !!! (don't pick it apart just enjoy it) Well seems I need to have more on here. So I would also like to point out that the music is good and I look forward to hearing each year, so again I'll say give it a look see, especially on New Years Eve.
mychadelik If you long for the days of 'festival seating", freaks, Frisbees, and free love at the Filmore, find yourself a copy of Rock n Roll High School Director; Alan Arkush's High-larious salute to Bill Graham's Rock and Roll Shrine. Packed with celebrities from the film world as well as classic rockers turning in some great comic performances, such as Lou Reed as a Dylanesque recluse on Dante's cab ride, and John Densmore (actual drummer from the Doors) as the quintessential, wild man on the skins and perfect foil to Malcolm MacDowells Hyper-Jagger/Bowie amalgam. With characters like a walking joint, levitating, hookah vending Rastafarians and every jonesers dream, in the quixotic, cloud of smoke appearing,minute-man drug dealer: Electric Larry, be warned Get Crazy is no after school special. People do drugs and nobody cries and nobody dies. LSD is actually used as an anti-evil solution, and they must seek the well played Captain Trips like character to translate.With a great soundtrack of music spanning genres from punk and glam to classic Chicago blues, featuring the song Hoochie Coochie Man done at least three ways, this is a great party film. I have worn out the copy I recorded from cable 20 years ago, showing it to nearly everyone I have ever called friend. I would love to see a 25th anniversary DVD with any and all extra footage or 'making of" video, that may exist. I don't know if it is even available on DVD. I'm available, am versed in Avid editing, and would work cheap if anyone out there can make it happen (e-mail me).Anyway if you have the chance of seeing this movie, grab a pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, and prepare to Flip Out (alternate title)
jsc1215 I laughed my butt off when I first saw this flick in college. The parodies of famous rock stars (courtesy of Malcolm McDowell), punk rock, and blues artists was very well done. The drug jokes (one guy sneaking into the theatre dressed as a joint, the magic water) were absolutely hilarious for their time. One of my favorites was when several different versions of "Hoochie Coochie Man" were performed onstage. King Blues opened the set with a Jewish backup band; I rolled on the floor laughing as Blues was frustrated over the band sent to perform with him. Once King Blues was finished, the band Nada (featuring Lee Ving as Piggy) blitzed their way through a fast, furious, and very impassioned rendition. Piggy was a definite show-stealer as Nada'a masochistic lead singer! Ah, then Reggie Wanker steps onstage and does his slick version. The Wanker almost falls flat but is saved by a ripping drum solo by Doors beatmeister John Densmore. Another scene which got me laughing was when Reggie Wanker started listening to his private member...I always thought listening to IT would get me in trouble, but it saved Wanker's career! Lou Reed, in a Dylanesque role, was wonderful as the singer/songwriter Auden who uses the scenic route on a cab to give him inspiration for his music. Don't try to think your way through this movie...just sit back, put your mind on cruise control, and enjoy the ride!!!
