As Good As It Gets
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
View MoreClever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreThe Girl From the Nakes Eye is great fun from beginning to end. It starts out with atmosphere and style and continues with intrigue and action. With so many movies today being bland with little flavor or soul, this murder mystery and action story shines with it's own comic light.This film has it's imperfections too, but in it's own style and category it is an enjoyable, witty and original watch. The fight scenes are not quite world class, they almost are, yet they are really good and make the movie even more exciting! The Girl From The Naked eye is stylish, cool and even sometimes moving. One of the best movies I've seen in ages. For 2 hours of clever fun action and noir this film is highly recommended!
View MoreJake (Jason Yee) takes it upon himself to catch the real killer of his friend Sandy, the type of prostitute with a heart of gold that only exists in the movies, when the police view him as the main suspect. He's hunted by his former boss, the most ineffectual pimp in the history of cinema in this "Sin City"-esque piece of film-nior.I enjoyed the movie's style and the fight scenes were OK, if highly derivative of other better films. Actually the whole movie is highly derivative of other movies, but it does still retain a certain panache that keeps it watchable.My grade: CEye Candy: Gina Jackson, Elizabeth McDonald, Angela Valentine, and some extras get topless; Brandy Grace bares her butt
View MoreI was less then halfway through before I realized that if some, more experienced, people were employed to create this film, it'd probably be a blockbuster. If everyone making it has the experience, then maybe hire some better people. This film smells like Canada, I think it must have been made with 'Canadian dollars'.The acting was good, the story had a few holes in it, so as long as you don't pay too much attention, then you may not notice. Like when Sandy talks about it being her "first night on the job"The editing was good, but the scene where he's running down the stairs. Good lighting though.If you like fighting, and boobs this movie was made for you!
View MoreMust admit the movie had moments that surprised me. The relationship between Jake and Sandy had moments that were quite heart warming. I thought the Sandy actress did a great job. Kinda reminds me a lil of the relationship in Leon: the Professional between Natalie Portman and Jean Reno's characters. There were some scenes that was actually quite funny where i found myself chuckling out loud. Jason Yee did a pretty good job playing a bad/good guy. The cigarette smoking was kinda a thing in the movie with his character for some reason. Some of the flow reminded me of sin city in the atmosphere they were trying to create. Also surprising was how humanized the characters were. The Simon character was very down to earth and didn't fit the typical bad guy portrayal. The movie felt like they put a lot of heart into it and did the best they could with what they had. Sure the fight scenes were't typical Hollywood style hyper edits and loud added explosive hitting sounds but for the movie it fight pretty well. More like early Steven Seagal fights. Like to see him more in movies.
