DVD Reviews of Road House
DVD Review: A Real Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Roadhouse is one of those movies that everyone should take time out to watch. Patrick Swayze is great as Dalton, the philosphical but redoutable bouncer. Crusty Sam Elliott is great, as is beautiful Kelly Lynch as the small town doctor. And iconic actor Ben Gazzara gives one of his best performances as a sociopathic heel who has enough money to think he can run roughshod over the town's decent folks. With its simple, pared-down plot and the gorgeous stars populating its sets, Roadhouse sort of harkens back to the old Elvis Presely movies of the sixties, where the King would play an ordinary, but talented guy who was quick with his fists caught up in an escalating situation. Swayze shows the same type of charisma in this performance. Elvis's former bodyguard and best friend Red West even has a roll in the film as well. The fight scenes are fabulous and there's just enough plot and drama to elevate the movie to one of the best B-movie martial arts films ever. Swayze had the moves, and his line, "Nobody wins a fight" lends just the right amount of poignancy at just the right time. If you haven't seen Roadhouse, do so post haste. If you have seen it, perhaps it's time to revisit the old place. Dalton will be waiting for you.DVD Review: BAAAHHH! BAAAHHH!
Summary: 1 Stars
An instant classic, nothing short of a masterpiece. A brilliant script, flawless acting, and breathtaking cinematography. Will undoubtedly go down as one of the finest films ever made. Out of 5 stars, I give this one 10.75.......BRAVO!! These guys are the reason that all the sheep are so scared. Can't wait 'til they release the "Super-Duper Deluxe Redneck Special Edition Series dvd"........YUK YUK YUK!!!DVD Review: Patrick Swayze dirty dancing all over drunks and bad guys...
Summary: 5 Stars
Roadhouse is a movie about a man who is a cooler at a mid-west bar and controls bars/clubs when they get out of control. Patrick Swayze is the zen-master who takes nothing personally and tries to live his life in peace until he takes a job working for the Double Deuce in Kansas.
Throughout the movie are good fighting scenes, escalating situations and a great soundtrack. This movie doesn't lose its charm and I recommend this movie to anyone whom has never seen it. Interesting concept for a movie and a good storyline to justify all the violence.
DVD Review: Patrick Swayze, he'll break your heart, then he'll break your face !!
Summary: 4 Stars
Road House and Steel Dawn were his best movies !!!! Yea Ghost was good, but too mushy. DVD Review: The Kevin Smith/Scott Mosier commentary alone worth the $
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this movie about a billion times. My VHS copy wore out so I popped for this new edition. Good God, the commentary by Smith/Mosier is hysterical. By itself, it is worth the price. I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time.
By the way, why IS that background guy dancing without his shirt in all the bar scenes?
Description of Road House
Patrick Swayze stars in this sexy, "violent tough-guy thriller" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) from the producer of Die Hard and The Matrix. Co-starring Ben Gazzara (The Thomas Crown Affair), Kelly Lynch (Charlie's Angels) and Sam Elliott (We Were Soldiers), Road House delivers no-holds-barred action that pushes the envelope for high-octane thrills! Swayze is Dalton, a legendary bouncer who comes to Jasper, Missouri, for a special purpose: to restore order at the notorious Double Deuce bar. In one spectacular fight after another, Dalton rids the bar of thugs and henchmen. But when he runs afoul of a ruthless crime boss (Gazzara) who controls the town, the stage is set for a blistering showdown that'll leave only one man standing!One of those movies that helped usher out the era of action films that had plots that made any sense (and also helped reverse the direction of Patrick Swayze's career arc), Road House concerns a handsome, existential bouncer in a rinky-dink honky-tonk who owns both a degree in philosophy and a Mercedes. And that's perhaps the most believable aspect of the whole movie. Swayze stars as Dalton, "the best bouncer in the business," who runs afoul of Wesley (Ben Gazzara), the meanest SOB round these parts, by taking up with his former girlfriend, Doc (Kelly Lynch)--the only woman in town with an IQ approaching double digits, even if she had unfathomably hooked up with such a lowlife. Swayze had complained about being typecast as beefcake when this was made, but that didn't stop him from revealing as much skin as possible--even guys like him, as revealed in a luridly seedy scene in which one of Wesley's goons tells Dalton that he reminds him of the kind of boyfriend he had in prison (albeit in much saltier terms). It's so insulting to its audience that it's nice to be able to turn the tables and laugh at the filmmakers. --David Kronke
