Bringing Out the Dead, hmmm maybe a 7.5/10. Nice movie that I don’t see mentioned or talked about much at all.
Didn’t know this was a Scorsese movie, I haven’t seen all of his stuff but I wouldn’t have guessed it was if I didn’t know. Got a very dark, chaotic, drug fueled nightmare feel to it that I dug. Nice cast of characters, Cage is excellent, all of his paramedic partners are good, the cop at the ER is great. Could have maybe done without the lame looking ghost stuff.
Sean: “We come now to Temple of Doom, a movie that’s been catching a lot of strays on the Ringer network recently…”
Amanda: “It’s about to catch another one.”
Sean: “So, just…no? It’s out?”
Amanda: “Yes.”
Sean: “I mean…I don’t think Harrison Ford was very good in this movie.”
CR (mumbling): “He was better in Crystal Skull.”
Holy shit.
I love discovering this apparently non-negligible corner of the internet that hates this movie. I always thought I was some fringe truther wandering around the wilderness while everyone else happily enjoyed the whole original trilogy.
I mentioned Perfect Blue to some horror nerd buddies and they were all like 'Yeah, that movie slaps," so I’m re-upping my recommendation, even if anime isn’t your thing.
Honestly it was pretty much what I expected, which is why I waited more than 25 years to watch it. I laughed hard once. I laughed a little another time. I think that’s my whole laugh log. It was okay I suppose, but I can’t imagine a scenario where I will ever watch it again.
