DVD Review: Campy classic! Tim Curry is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are so many things that I can say about my history with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We'll just say that it took a few years for it to really grow on me, and one day, it just clicked. Now I love it. It's one of my favorite musicals. I love how no-holds-barred weird it is...and it is WEIRD! I mean, you have an obvious homage to B-movies, sci-fi, and horror all rolled into one crazy storyline - and some of the strangest songs ever written - all thrown up on the screen, and right in your face. Speaking of the songs, they're all great. Ridiculously goofy, but great! You have all of these elements tucked in to the creepy haunted house/laboratory atmosphere, and it works in it's own strange way. Most of it looks incredibly cheap, which compliments the film.
And then theres the cast. First of all, Tim Curry tears up the screen. I mean, he chews up every bit of scenery in which he is present! The other actors don't have time to breathe around him, although they are excellent as well. Susan Surandon and Barry Bostwick play our "hero" and our "heroine", Brad and Janet - one of the nerdiest couples ever committed to the silver screen. You've got to see it to believe it. Back to Tim Curry. I don't know whether to call his performance Oscar worthy or not, but it sure comes close. It takes a REAL MAN to dress up in a teddy and fishnets they way that he does...once you get over the initial shock of his character, you end up laughing your head off. He's hilarious...and he really gets in to it!
Strangely enough, I prefer Rocky Horror on it's own, without the audience participation. I tried that one time. Had no idea what I was getting in to at the time. I went dressed in khaki pants and a button down dress shirt, very spiffy. I felt so out of place. People kept staring at me. I found that I couldn't enjoy the film what with all of the screaming and yelling. However, I did like the fact that we got to throw rice and shoot water guns in the theatre. That was the only part of the interactive experience that I enjoyed. I'd much rather watch it on my own, late at night, preferably with a thunderstorm booming on outside for the sake of ambience...
It's one of the great camp classics of all time, if you can just give in to it! It really depends on who you are. If you are easily offended, you'll cut it off within the first 20 minutes or so. If not, you'll love it!
DVD Review: Rocky Horror Picture Show
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best campy cult movies every made. Anyone in for a good laugh and a great musical, this is the one you want.DVD Review: Rocky Horror Picture Show A true Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Bring back the old days with this classic film. It will bring back fond memories of the 70's. Midnight shows with rain coats, rice, and squirt guns.. A True ClassicDVD Review: Drag Show That Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that I am from the era when everyone dressed up and acted out all the parts at the movie theatre. I probably have seen this movie 157 times. To say it is a cult classic is minimizing its impact in some ways. If you like drag shows or great musicals you will love this movie. It ain't no "High School Musical". Definitely for the kinkier, more adult side of life, yet funny and entertaining and not X rated. Give this movie a try if you like a walk on the wild side. Power Path to Love
Description of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Widescreen Edition)
Fasten your garter belt and come up to the lab and see what's on the slab! It's The Rocky Horror Picture Show Special Edition, a screamingly funny, sinfully twisted salute to sci-fi, horror, B-movies and rock music, all rolled into one deliciously decadent morsel. And now there's even more to make you shiver with antici...pation: two additional musical numbers, "Once In A While" and "Superheroes", never seen theatrically or available on video! The madcap, musical mayhem begins when rain-soaked Brad and Janet take refuge in the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite mad scientist from outer space who is about to unveil his greatest creation - and have a bit of fun with his reluctant guests! Join Tim Curry, Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon and rock star Meat Loaf in the most popular cult classic of all time.Fish Out of Water DVDs
