Summary: I would give more stars if I could
Review: I cannot express in words how I feel about this movie. For starters, it is U.N.I.Q.U.E., I have never seen anything like this. I am sure fans of like, action movie or comedies would turn this off after a couple of minutes. This movie goes way under your skin. It almost looks as if if was designed for this purpose. It is so intense, there are so many scenes that stand out as best scenes from a movie of the last decade. Take the Red Room (Bar scene) scene for example. The music in entrancing and you can hardly make out what the characteres are saying, even less when they talk backwards (a classic touch), and yes, you souldn't watch this movie you if you are easily offended by nudity, explicit sex scenes and violence. It almost looks like this is a dream Lynch had. You've got to love this movie! My personal favorite scence is the final one. When the killer carries Laura Palmer's lifeless body you begin to see the dream, in the room with the red curtains, and that music starts, wow, this music gives me the creeps and I love it so much I start to cry myself after seeing Laura crying tears of happiness. The Voice Of Love slowely fades into an operatic choir and the screen also fades into a fantastic Laura shot. This moment is alone worth the movie and then some. For me it is the most emotionally engaging moment on movie ever. I get chills down my spine just thinking about it. David Lynch, I will never have the chance to thank you for this incredible experience you gave me.Keep up the fantastic work.

Summary: Firey Fire Walk With Me
Review: An absolute must for any Twin Peaks or David Lynch fan. This prequel is much more exotic and racy than the series (obvious reasons, no network television restrictions). However, I highly recommend for someone to watch the series before seeing Fire Walk With Me. It gives the life of Laura Palmer new meaning. The only disappointment is that Lara Flynn Boyle didn't play Donna in this prequel. Even for non-fans of the TV series, this is a great movie, rich with the darkness and symoblism that is a part of all of Lynch's work.

Summary: Twin Peaks and David Lynch
Review: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me was my first glimpse into the enigmatic and tragically beautiful world of perhaps my very favorite director of all time, David Lynch. His use of symbolism, masterfully combined with storylines "lived" by characters so heartwrenchingly reality/surreality-prone, were the main aspects of his work that truly encompassed me in intrigue. After devoting much of myself to practically studying the ins-and-outs of most of his films, I must say that, while all of them are truly amazing, this one still stands alone, to me at least, as being a real masterwork.

Summary: Twin Peaks turned on its head.
Review: 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me' When this film was released in 1992, legions of fans booed Lynch for what he had done to their beloved little town. What he'd done was actually give you the town he couldn't give you on TV. I myself loved the show, and I loved the characters and the town and the ridiculous plots. It was captivating and intense viewing. But objecting to the film is to ignore what the series was really about. We knew Laura was a cocaine addict. We knew she was a prostitute. We knew her father had sex with her. We knew everyone had sex with her. We knew she was beaten to death. We knew all this. So why, when we see these events happening in this prequel do so many people suddenly stand up and disown it. Is this violence not palatable enough for them? Is rape only okay when it's softened for TV? How pitiful we must be if these are the motivations for our disappointment; that murder and rape and incest, battery and prostitution and drug-addiction are unacceptable, except if they are gift-wrapped. The first half-hour of FWWM is exemplary of this 'real' Twin Peaks. It is a microcosm of the whole series but in reverse. The FBI investigate the murder of a young woman in a small Northwest town. Except here, the local police are not friendly but fiercely threatening, the local diner is not the cosy RR where you can get Norma's damn fine cherry pie with two scoops of ice cream, and the comforts of the Great Northern are eschewed for the trash underclass of the trailer park. It is this we must face as the true Twin Peaks. The film also completes the story, much as other might disagree. The final shot of Cooper and Laura in the Black Lodge is where it begins and ends. As Kyle MacLachlan revealed in a recent UK TV interview, 'it ends badly', with Cooper trapped here for 25 years, maybe more. As for the DVD, if New Line ever do release it, fans can hope and pray they include some of the many deleted scenes. These scenes feature no less than 12 (!) characters from the series whose cameos were cut from the final film. These scenes are the last we will see of anything new from Twin Peaks; let's just hope New Line get it right.

Summary: Twin Peaks on DVD?
Review: Just as crazy and utterly stupid as it was for Mirimax to release Cinema Paradiso as a Director's Cut in Europe and Japan but NOT IN THE USA, so is the studio that is sleeping at the gates when it comes to releasing the complete 26 television episodes of Twin Peaks on DVD!!! We fans have waited long enough and I am so upset that the only episodes I can get are on VHS and unfortunately are taped in EP mode. This stinks. There's no stereo, no quality picture, no extras. ADVICE: Twin Peaks is a major freaking cash cow for the studios. This is a world wide phenomenen and they are just sitting back enjoying the fact that they are NOT making money. I just can't understand why...woe is me...I sometimes wish that I wasn't so impressively intelligent. Sometimes my brightness outshines me. Perhaps my omnipotent knowledge is what has the studios in fear of releasing such a wonderful series. I will try to calm down now. ...

Summary: Close your eyes and you'll burst into flames!
Review: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is extremely high quality. It is, to say the least a MUST for anyone who loved the series. Tho, as a standalone movie, there is no way you could enjoy it. It wasnt ment to stand alone, its best to see it when the series is still fresh in your mind, otherwise, you get caught up in not remembering what the deal is. All the actors give great deliverances, and this movie moves onward with Writer/Director David Lynch's cinematic masterpiece.

Summary: IT'S A CHERRY PIE SHAME
Review: We've all heard it a thousand times before, something achieves a title "Cult Classic", then becomes popular to the point that the original fans are turned off by the the phonies that jump on board. Well this one's a little different. You can already find part of the series (pilot, episodes 1-5, maybe more if your lucky) and the movie in the cult classic section at you're local movie rental shop. When the options to expose new viewers to an amazingly diverse show are to rent the movie, (to much for the uninitiated)rent the pilot, try to rent the series (unlikely to have more than ep. 1-5 in SP on single tapes)or buy the series on 5 tapes in EP(Quality makes people who bootleg movies in the far east by taking a video camera into the movie theater and filming the 70mm film look great)it seems obvious that the time to release it all remastered on DVD has come and is going. Let's get the word going that we as consumers DEMAND to pay our hard earned money to watch something decent in an age when even Star Wars (episode I) sold out to the general public with the likes of Jar-Jar Binks. I would much rather watch something well made and intelligent than see the movie(blockbuster of the summer) that appeals to the masses. Lets get Mr. Spelling/Mr. Lynch or who ever currently owns the rights to "get it on" regarding authoring it to DVD. Thanks for reading my ramblings, Smart Guy Rex Cramer.

Summary: The Reason this movie wasn't as good is becuz.....
Review: In the David Lynch "motion pictures" collection, there are 8 films that have been made since 1978. "Eraserhead," "Elephant Man," "Dune," "Blue Velvet," "Wild at Heart," "Fire Walk With Me," "Lost Highway," and his latest, "Straight Story." The four best are Eraserhead, Fire Walk With Me, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. David Lynch's vision of "FIRE WALK WITH ME," is not bad because he wanted it to be. The original fire walk with me movie is romoured to be over 3 and a half hours long. There is PROMISED to be a FIRE WALK WITH ME DVD coming out soon. It should be out later this spring with all the cuts that werent originally in the TWIN PEAKS movie. Please.... dont be disappointed with the original though, it is a good movie. You should try this movie, I THINK, before you watch, rent or buy the TWIN PEAKS TV series. thanks

Summary: What the Hell was that?
Review: That is probably what you'll be saying after you see Fire Walk With Me. I stumbled across Twin Peaks recently and have seen every episode. After being disapointed by the cliff-hanger ending I was excited to see Fire Walk With Me but now I am more diapointed than ever. To start with, if you haven't seen every episode, don't even bother with this one. You simply won't get it. Those that have seen the show still won't know what to make of alot of it. The show was symbolic and interesting while this seems weird with no point. This may be because a huge amount was cut from the film but in the end it makes little sense. Thankfully, it still retains the fancinating atmosphere from the show but the fact is that there isn't enough story to back it up. Maybe if they release a directors cut then my opinion will change but untill then, Fire Walk With Me has only degraded my opinion of the Twin Peaks franchise.

Summary: Never seen Twin Peaks? Start with the TV show!
Review: Twin Peaks fan? You'll probably love this movie. Hate Twin Peaks? Run away from this movie. Never seen Twin Peaks? Then start with the TV series, which is also available on videocassette. The reasons are simple. Twin Peaks, like essentially all of David Lynch's work, is something that some folks love, some folks hate, and most folks (including me) don't really understand. Either way, this movie is really something that you should only watch AFTER you've seen all or most of the TV series. The reason is that lots of stuff won't make any damn sense otherwise, and if you watch this first then the series won't be nearly as interesting. Personally, I found the show captivating and hypnotic, and while the movie was great I only gave it 4 stars because as a TP fan, I would really have rather seen what happened after the show was cancelled. Instead, the movie is a "prequel", and if you were a huge fan you probably knew a lot of the backstory that the movie tells anyway. So: If you liked the show, go ahead with this movie, if you didn't, don't bother with it (you'll probably hate it even more) and if you've never seen it (you heathen!) then get the TV shows first. Paul Note on the TV show; there's a "movie" that purports to be the pilot episode. It contains "bonus extra footage" that is a load of crap because it wasn't on the TV show originally. The reason is simple; the show (as you might have heard) carried on for hours and hours before revealing the "true killer". So for the boxed version of the "pilot" they wanted a clean-cut ending, and Lynch gave them one. The best thing to do is to watch the boxed "pilot" and then stop it when you get to where someone digs up the heart necklace that Donna and James buried- from this point on, it's "extra" footage that in the context of the series doesn't make a lot of sense.
