Rating: Summary: 4 Stars for 4 Rooms Review: Four Rooms. Not all the rooms are worth watching - but 2 are simply fantastic! The witch coven is great. Madonna looks just plain sexy! Antonia Banderas is hilarious in his room, probably my favorite of the 4 sequences. It's like 4 different movies in one...definately worth checking out!
Rating: Summary: WHY SUCH A BAD RAP Review: I loved this movie. the last two were the best but three was also very good. from best to worst would be (in my opinion) 4,3,2,1,. very funny.
Rating: Summary: No Masterpiece but not bad Review: I have heard many good things from my friends about this film and how Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez team up once again in a film. I tried to rent it but a certain store that i will refer to as "LackLuster" does not carry this film. I'm sitting at home one night and theres the movie "Four Rooms" on Starz so i decide to watch it. First film: Tim Roth stumbles into a room of witches and stuff happens its entertaining. Second film: Tim Roth gets the wrong room and the story contains sick sexual fantasies, a large gun, and a psychotic pill popping maniac, need i say more? Third film: (by far my favorite) Robert Rodriguez directed this hilarious short where Tim Roth has to take care of these kids....its HILARIOUS i can't say much about it or it will ruin it for you. And Fianly the Fourth Room: Directed by Quentin Tarantino this final room is a let down. Tarantino himself acted in it which is my biggest complaint. He over-acts and ruins it. You think a man who shows up drunk on late night talk shows would be a good at acting drunk but he's not. This move was sub-par compared to other films quentin tarantino has been involved with but much better than most films. If you are a huge Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez fan like myself than you should buy this film now. If not than i suggest you rent it or catch it on cable.
Rating: Summary: The wild wacky world of Tarantino Review: Quentino Tarantino charges into the world of comedy with fists of fury in one of the most hilarious films I've ever seen. Tim Roth the woeful bellboy finding himself in in the wackiest situations which finishes off with a classic skit involving Roth, Tarantino, and Bruce Willis which is sort of like a grand finale at a fireworks show. A great cast you won't be disappointed by this film unless you have little sense of humor!
Rating: Summary: Not Best, Not Worst Review: Now after the other Tarintino films this was not as good as Pulp Fiction. I wanted to watch this movie because I am a huge Tarintino fan. After watching it I thought that this was a very intertaining movie. I found it very funny and original. The downside to this movie was the very first room. I found that witch plot very over the top but it was so funny. I also found it a little confusing in the second room with the wife and mad husband. But the other 2 rooms were great! And as in all Tarintino movies I thought it had the most hilarious ending! I loved it!
Rating: Summary: What the Heck is This??? Review: What the heck is this? That was my first question when my erstwhile sidekick and chum brought this movie into our home as a rental. I had never heard of this flick. Neither had my wife. In fact, he had rented it on the strength of a recommendation of a friend. So, with no expectations or preconceptions to color our views, we set about to watch this thing. One great advantage to having no particular expectation of an unknown film is that our ignorance led to bliss. Before the end of the film, we were literally roaring with laughter. Not mere chortles, mind you, nor the odd guffaw that may accompany an isolated humorous incident, but laughing at scene after scene as the movie progressed. This is an episodic comedy that has Tim Roth as a bellman at a Hollywood hotel working alone on New Years Eve. He becomes involved in 4 different sketches. Each one just a wee-bit more madcap than the last. From being seduced by a Coven of Witches in the first sketch, to a bizarre couple who play dangerous games in the second, to misbehaving children in the 3rd, to an unexpected and hilarious ending in the 4th, one simply never knows what is coming next. Nothing is predictable, and along the way, our hero (or antihero) encounters a splendidly malevolent Antonio Banderas, quirky Quentin Tarantino, and a surprising appearance by Bruce Willis. There is much to be said for this film, but I would not wish to spoil things by giving too much away. I believe the best way to see this film is as we did. Just get it, watch it, and let it impress itself upon you in all its bizarre glory. Very few films made today are as funny, or as quirky, or offbeat, or simply hilarioius as this film. My wife has a sister in the hotel/hospitality business, and we plan to present this one to her as a gift. They have seen strange things in the hotel business, and so will you when you watch this film. Great Stuff!!!
Rating: Summary: Great flick! Review: Disregard Taube M. Cyrus and his comments about this movie. He definently wrestled a while with the thesaurus in writing that "review." Get the movie, its great. Nothing more to say.
Rating: Summary: Misfire Review: What's good: Tim Roth doing Michael Caine. Antonio Banderas doing the tango. What sucked: The rest of the movie. Surprises: That Tarantino could be so incredibly bad. Reason to buy: Only to complete (or pollute, if you like) your Tarantino collection. But then it had to be really cheap.
Rating: Summary: completely original Review: After reading a pompous and preachy review following a 1 star rating, I had to throw in my 2 cents. For one, I dont believe in belittling another person based on their opinion. I loved this film. I have a great appreciation for anything that can be original in this age. Originality is getting harder and harder to achieve. The first room (story) is pretty cheesy, but it gets better with each room thereafter. The 2nd room is humourous. 3rd room even funnier. The 4th and final room is an insanely hilarious finale. Based on the first room, I was going to give this film 4 stars, but I couldnt bring myself to giving it less than 5. If you are into big budget box office (generic) movies, then this probably isnt the film for you. But if you have an appreciation for original thought and artistic brilliance, then you have to check this out. As for our small minded aforementioned reviewer, stick to your "titanics" and save your reviews for a genre that you understand.
Rating: Summary: Why do people overate small movies? Review: In 1992 a group of first time directors released their movies to a fairley captive Sundance Film Festival audience. And two years later a few of them had some spare time and thought "Lets have a party and call it a movie!" Four Rooms is that movie. Either loved or reviled, I actually like it. Sure it's a little silly in places but that's the charm of this obvious secret film crew party movie(theres an oxymoron if i've ever seen it). But this is what Four Rooms is! Think about it - a movie set on new years eve, every scene involved drinking alcohol and ALL of the actors would have worked for scale if they were paid at all(money I'm sure went on buying MORE alcohol to fuel the back-stage party). I'm not being sarcastic at all when I say that because I get this movie. It is not the follow up to Pulp Fiction or El Mariachi or In the Soup, ect. It IS funny for what it is - Four friends doing something they love and not trying to live up to their small past success. Tim Roth in a part originaly intended for Steve Buscemi(turning it down only because he felt he had already done the bell boy part in the Coen Bro's Barton Fink), really has fun in this role. His range is evident in all of the rooms from bliss to screaming bloody murder, and no matter what anyone says I think he ties the movie together quite neatly. Don't expect to get a cinema classic but insted top up your champagne glass, adjust your paper hat and and enjoy the party
