DVD Reviews of Where the Buffalo Roam
DVD Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether your a fan of Mr. Bill Murray or Hunter S. Thompson, this is a definite must have for any movie enthusist. Good laughs, excellent acting, and of course good writing seeing as how Mr. Thompson aided in the story. I knew I recognized Lazlo(Hunter's crazed lawyer) who is played by Peter Boyle and it was very interesting to see the man when he still had hair(well....) and smarting off to others besides the Romano clan. You must have this placed next to Fear and Loathing if you don't already. Don't be a part of the underestimators, ADD THIS!!DVD Review: This is an interesting film to watch about someone famous
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this DVD about 5 years ago when I have not seen this movie until I brought it home and sliped it in my playstation 2. Because of 2 reason. 1) none of my local video stores don't have a copy of this movie on their shelfs and 2) This movie is not shown on any of the cable networks. This is not a bad movie. This movie is about Bill Murray playing a famouse person named Hunter S. Thomson who was a famous journlist who attended famous events and wrote a journl on the famouse events and coverage like the 1972 superbowl game and some on Richard Nixon. What make this movie so interesting is that like I said is its about Hunter S Thompson life and its shows you what his life was like and what he did when he was doing or writing any coverage. Like when he was at the hotel on the weekend of the 1972 superbowl game, he crash and distroyed the hotel room and invited everyone into his room and threw a wild party. Its like he invited you into his personal life when you watch this movie. I don't think that the real Hunter S Thomson wanted it that way or I don't that Bill Murray ever had the time to be with him or got to know more about him, or its has do with Bill Murray spending the summer at Camps white Pine& Towhee in Canada where they were filming Meatballs at the time,and he was too busy preparing for his Tripper role. I think that was problem. In 1997, Johnny Depp spend a year sleeping in Hunter basement so he can learn alote about Hunter so he can play him better when they were filming Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Now some of you think Hunter S Thomson was off the walls or acting a little bit wild. Well thats because he was on drugs alote, and if they could do a PG rated verson of this movie without the bad laguage and the hard sex. This movie would set them straight and show them what kind of drugs can do to them. My faviort seen in the movie is where Hunter and Lazlo are in the car driving on some rocky road, Hunter is toppless and pick up this Hippy hitchicker, and the hitchiker gets in the car. And Then Hunter gets out the gun and ams at the hitchiker passenger and then shots out the car window. That Part made me laught. And as for the rest of the film. I give it a good laught and importain message. Buy this movie and it will keep you entertain for hours, and what ever you do, don't ever ever do what Hunter did in real life, and that is DRUGS.
Trivia
1.The scean where Hunter and Lazlo are driving on one the streets in San Francisco and you will see a wall that says Fear and loathing in Las Vegas written in graffitti.
2. Neil Young had a small role in the movie, he playes one of the jury members when Lazlo ahs to attend one of his trails.
3. Saddly in 2006. 2 of the stars in Where the Buffalo roam passed away. Peter Boyle who played Lazlo died of heart disease on Dec 12 at age 71. And Bruno Kirby who played Marty Lewis died of Leukemia on Aug 14 at age 57.
4. There going to be a third Hunter S Thomson book being made into a movie called The Rum Diary. Warner Bros should staring shooting some time beginning 2010
DVD Review: Hunter S. Thompson
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a writer of a different breed, someone who speaks mind even if it is off topic, he did make it come around again to make both ends meet. The story is great, and Bill Murray does an excellent job portraying Hunter.
Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was another great portrayal of Hunter and both do justice.
" The only difference between the Sane and the Insane, is IN and yet within this world, the Sane have the power to have the Insane locked up." Hunter S. Thompson
DVD Review: Bill Murray or Johnny Depp
Summary: 5 Stars
Both actors portray Hunter S. Thompson in different films. Bill Murray shows a much more lively side of Thompson in Where the Buffalo Roam, while Depp shows the drug craved maniac that Thompson was in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. DVD Review: Truly stinks
Summary: 1 Stars
Having found nothing the slightest bit amusing in the first half hour, I had to hit eject on this one. Dated '70s druggy humor hasn't worn well, I guess. At least for me. This has the mark of a dud written all over it.
Description of Where the Buffalo Roam
GONZO JOURNALIST HUNTER S. THOMPSON COVERS NIXON AND THE 1972 SUPER BOWL WITH HIS MANIC LAWYER, LAZLO.Bill Murray is in his early-career, shambling glory as Hunter S. Thompson, the gonzo journalist with a fondness for Wild Turkey and firearms. While Murray does not do as exact an impersonation of Thompson as Johnny Depp (in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), he does capture Thompson's dazed, anarchic nature. Unfortunately, the movie around him is just anarchic: a series of episodes (true or invented) from Dr. Thompson's career, circa 1968-72. The haphazard structure is probably meant to suggest the spirit of the counterculture or something, but it's just flabby storytelling. Thanks to Murray's blissful delivery, there are scenes that have a stoned giddiness to them: Thompson and his attorney (Peter Boyle) terrifying an unsuspecting hitchhiker, or Thompson alone in a men's room with Richard Nixon. Neil Young contributes some music, and Murray warbles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" while drunkenly piloting a plane. --Robert Horton
