Summary: Sickening, trite junk. don't hate me cause I hate it
Review: It is totally lost on me how this film has a such a cult following. I'm no stranger to the macabre, the bizarre, or a mix of the two. But to what purpose does all of this serve?
It's not scary, and not funny. The song lyrics are one-note, juvenile and lame. "Damn it, Janet" over and over.Har har har. The cult status is almost sickening. Just look at the negative votes on the one-star reviews, no matter how well-written they are. That's right, the fanboys just want to de-grade sensible, well-written reviews. If you like the film, that's fine, I'm glad you took something away from the experience that I didn't. But don't hate me cause I hated it. I found it too long, too juvenile, convoluted, and shock-value-ridden. For midnight-drive in junkies re-living their pasts, im sure its great. But outsiders, ye be warned

Summary: I've one thing to say and it's live the Rocky Horror Legend
Review: Often referred to as "Richard O'Brien's little slice of weirdness", Rocky lives up to it's legend as a cult classic. At fits when you see this movie, you're thinking "Weird, but are lips really THAT weird?" As it goes along, you don't know what you're in for. When Brad and Janet {the hero and heroine} have their car break down, they go to a castle a mile back to use the phone. What they find is a cast of colorful characters, but little do they know that nothing will ever be the same! Featuring oscar winner Susan Sarandon, it's a fun, strange journey. Not for everyone, though. Exclude kids under 15 and religious fanatics from this one! Still, everyone besides the above exclusions should make a trip to Transylvania to visit Dr. Frank N Furter, Barry Bostwick, and the rocker Meatloaf. Be prepared, when it's all over, you'll be feeling done in, so give yourself over to absolute pleasure and don't judge this book by it's cover {Tim Curry resting on a large pair of lips may already scare you} and see The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Summary: All dressed up and nowhere to go...
Review: Maybe it's the camp. Maybe it's the grating music. Or just having to see Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick in drag. This movie is AWFUL, and I certainly don't mean "it's so bad it's good". It's puerile and self-indulgent, and a sure-fire remedy for boredom. Because faced with the prospect of having to watch this movie would get me motivated to do anything but that. OK, I'm willing to concede that RHPSh as some sort of attempt to make a 70s anthem for gays (or anyone else unaccepted by mainstream society). Find the courage in your alleged "freakishness" and ta-daa! It's outta the closet and "Heeeelloooo world!" After all, the "straights" and their society are the true freakish forces in the universe, and the "evil" Frank 'n Furter just wanted to create a safe haven for his kind. And besides, EVERYONE has a little hidden freak inside them just clamoring to get out. Still, this movie is beyond unwatchable. For freaks on parade "Breakfast Club" was more entertaining.

Summary: Cult Classic at its best!!
Review: This is the best movie ever!!!! The cast is outstanding. How often do you find greats like Tim Curry, Susan Saradon, Meatloaf, and so many more. The soundtrack is absolutely astounding. I think this movie is a superb example of satire. Get it today!!!!

Summary: There's no crime in giving yourself over to pleasure. ;D
Review: Ah, yes! How can I possibly forget to provide a Halloween review for one of the greatest cult films of all time? What can I say about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that hasn't been said already? I can best describe this as a spooktacular musical extravanganza! A monstrous creation brought to life by genius Richard O'Brian, this movie is a decadent amalgamation of sex, science fiction, and horror. Don't worry about the R-rating, kiddies; "Rocky Horror" is one of the few provacative pictures that doesn't stretch across the borders of bad taste. And of course, the film has become even more incredible thanks to its infamous audience participation. Despite having debuted in theaters way back in 1975, "Rocky Horror's" infectious songs and fashion trends never get old!
Here's a brief synopsis for all you virgins: Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play Brad and Janet, a pair of wholesome lovers who planned to announce their engagement to their former science teacher, Dr. Everett Scott (Johnathan Adams). But on a dark stormy night, after suffering a flat tire, Brad and Janet enter a castle owned by the film's star, Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry), a delighfully evil scientist/ transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania! Put on your makeup and fishnet stockings! Let's do the Time Warp (again) with creepy handyman Riff Raff (Richard O'Brian), sultry maid Magenta (Patricia Quinn), and rock & roll groupie Columbia (Nell Campbell). Even Meatloaf gets his own rock solo as the Doctor's motorcycling zombie Eddie (a rebel who ends up getting served for dinner!) Let's not forget also that "Rocky Horror's" unforgettable soundtrack and hilarious dialogue are all narrated by the dignified Criminologist (Charles Gray-RIP). This cult film is a must-have for all horror and musical lovers alike! Enter at your risk!

Summary: 25 years and STILL a fave!
Review: I admit, I'm a relitively new Rocky Horrorette. However, since my best friend introduced me to Frankie, Rocky, Riff and Magenta on my 17th birthday, we've been inseperable. This DVD found it's way into my collection when I was away from home for work, didn't have a VCR (so my VHS was worthless!) and needed a fix. I paid $60 Australian for it in the end, to be posted to the middle of nowhere (otherwise known as Roxby Downs, SA) and it was worth every cent! The extra features may not be completely flashy, but when you're stuck in a remote mining town for 6 weeks with no one but you who likes Rocky Horror, the Audience Participation on the disc can become your best friend! And it did. Unfortunatly, I don't think my neighbour agreed! Buy this DVD, if only so that it's there one day for your children to become addicted to!

Summary: The cult classic
Review: Incredibly, I only just saw this movie about 10 years ago, after hearing about it for almost 20 years, and I was amazed at how well it stood up. The wacky blending of sci-fi, horror, blatent sex themes, and campy humor, (including some pretty kinky themes for the time) became one of the greatest cult movies of all time. Not far from me there was a theater that played the movie at midnight three nights a week, and this went on for years, but I never saw it during all that time. Then there's the fact that the movie is actually a musical with some very catchy music--another thing I hadn't realized until I saw the flick--and again, I was surprised at how well the music had stood the test of time. Tim Curry is superb in the main role as Dr. Frank N. Furter, the brilliant mad scientist from an advanced civilization of cross-dressers, and the other performances are good as well. Meatloaf does a standup job blasting out his hit song on the sax in his scene. It's still a wonderfully entertaining movie after all these years, which is all the more amazing since when it was released initially it was a flop.

Summary: 'The Rocky Horror Show' Movie
Review: There is one reason why everyone should see "The Rocky Horror Picture Show": it is the best cult film ever made. There are also three reasons why everyone should want to watch it: 1) It is one of the only 'R' rated musicals in existence. 2) It has strong science-fiction overtones. 3) It is very funny. The movie starts Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon (before they were stars) as the recently engaged Brad and Janet. However, they are upstaged in nearly every scene by Tim Curry who plays Frank N. Furter, the mad doctor. The cast delightfully performs many memorable songs including "Over at the Frankenstein Place" and, of course, the "Time Warp". To fully enjoy RHPS, one must not be closed minded or the picture could prove to be quite offensive. Don't think it's gratuitously violent- it isn't. Merely, the situations the characters find themselves in could shock or appall overly sensitive viewers. If you think you won't enjoy RHPS, going to a midnight screening might be your best bet. The live audience participation will guarantee you a good time, despite your opinion of the actual film. So overall, RHPS is quite a good adaptation of Richard O'Brien's original concept, which always honors its roots on the stage.

Summary: Gee golly this movie is GOOD
Review: I really like this movie. I mean, what can I really say about this movie that has not been said? Nothing.... except Mageehilknocken. That basically sums up my feelings toward this movie. It's really great. The songs get stuck in your head for HOURS. This is top notch entertainment.
