Rating: Summary: An Interesting Movie for the Artistic Thinker Review: This movie's plot consists of a dream like sequence of events. A small boy is seen driving across America searching for game pieces for the gas station game "Motorama". One can make it a parralell to the American Dream. A well done criticism of the American way of life.
Rating: Summary: Born to be wild...? Review: When I first saw this film I was very, very sick and thought it was very confusing but also very funny and interesting. Having seen it now, while well, I have to say it is still very interesting and funny. Everybody is in here, Drew Barrymore, Mear Loaf, Flea and others, but they're all in the background. The real story is about the 10 year old Gus, trying to find out what life is all about. And isn't that what really matters in life? Well, besides lots of money, food and a sexy girlfriend, sure, why not?
I love the feeling of the film, the cars and the landscape. Perfect for messing up a friend's mind.
Rating: Summary: Road Picture from Another Universe Review: [...] This is a film for people who love Cult Movies, the way "Straight to Hell" was a film for people who love Spaghetti Westerns -- it ultimately makes no sense, but every scene seems fraught, and every shot and line and action resonates with something from the Cult Film world. The presence of Mary Woronov and Dick Miller suggests a Corman connection; Vince Edwards has a cameo as a doctor, Flea, Meatloaf and Shelley Berman (among others) have cameos. A friend of mine once asked me to describe this film, so he could decide if he wanted to watch it. I said "You saw 'Repo Man', didn't you?" He said "Yup". I said, "Okay -- imagine that all the repo men decide to knock off early one day and go to a movie. And at that theatre, they see a road picture... "'Motorams' is the road picture the repo men would see on their day off." If that appeals to you, then go for it! I love it -- but i think "Battle Beyond the Stars" and "ark Star" are two of the ten greatest science-fiction films ever made, too...
