Wonderful
9 February 2001
The truth is, eye came across this movie in a video store and thought it looked like the most stupid thing ever. Im 17 & interested in film-making & so like to watch total low-budget crap and laugh at how poor some low budget movies are!

But not this. The wizard of speed & time is literally more than a movie. I feel like Mike J is a movie & magic pioneer in the industry showing that Creativity and magic are still very much alive:)

The film is just so magical & feel-good. There are odd sequences cut & pasted together & look so different. There are 3 unicorn references (I love unicorns) and the fact Mike J basically MADE THIS MOVIE HIMSELF is a testament to how much passion he put into this project. The Prince of the movie industry! The sequence with Mike going to all the unions is a clever & witty dig at the ugly crapiness of hollywood. This movie is a reminder of all the guys & girls sitting in their rooms making the most magical stories,pictures & music that only they will hear. I just wish that Mike J had been sucessful and given us more movies like this. Well, at least the movie lives on.....

Gorgeous (1999)
Just saw it:)

I just had the plasure of seeing this very touching movie and it almost brought a tear to my eye. Unlike some stupid Hollywood movies where love is sex, this is a bittersweet, magical love story with very touching scenes between Jackie & the beautiful female lead.

The girl is so pretty that i almost fell over & Jackie is such a charming gentlemen. The story is really simplistic but like all the best things in life it seems to have a special quality that sets it apart from other movies.

The fight scenes are also unbelievable! Some of this stuff is better than anything i have seen! I cant even begin to try and comprehend how long some of those fight scenes took to rehearse.

anyway, im gonna go cry in my room now in the hope i will one day meet someone as beautiful as the female lead. A magical movie, that made me smile:)

What is left 2 say? There are so many questions left unanswered at the end of this movie that i initially was angry about the whole secret sect and everything. But then it all came together, my friends this is one of the most incredible movies that i have ever had the pleasure of seeing. From the first scene the story twists & turns weaving a story unlike a story anyone expected. It has so many clever little lines & symbols hidden in there reminding us of our cariculture & how well Mr Kubrick understands it.

Every scene is well acted, elegant & just dazzling. I dont know what you lot are complaning about when u say it was boring! When he steps into this cult like society for the first time the sense of mystery got me.

Is this a sex movie? No Is this a movie that loads of mass idiot punters will like?NO Is this a movie unlike many others for the eloquent fashion that it uses to weave a tale that actually holds the viewer? YES

Mr Kubrick should be happy knowing that he has created yet another masterpiece.

email me your opinions folks Nyrone (17)

Labyrinth (1986)
Dreamy dreamy land
12 August 2000
It's hard for me to remember a film from my childhood that made as much sense 2 me then as it does now, for this reason Labyrinth is one of my fav movies. Along with Legend, The Storyteller & The last unicorn this movie brings a magical world to life through moving pictures.

Im a 17 year old male now, and living in London i see 2many fake people & fake ideas. This movie is soo pure & delicate. It is like escaping back 2 my childhood, a truly un4gettable experience.

If anyone would like 2 e-mail me & tell me any movies they have seen that they think are similar please feel free 2 do so. I reccomend you all see Legend, never has a magical world been created on film so well. + It has unicorns!!!!!!!!!!!!!
