The journalist is investigating people who have a fetish for amputee sex. They’re perfectly healthy, but decide to amputate their legs and then have crazy amputee sex.
Agreed as to both. I saw it repeatedly on HBO in the early Eighties and loved it.
Mixed Nuts came and went so fast, despite its bigshot cast, that I never even saw it. Don’t know what idjit was in charge of its marketing: Mixed Nuts - Wikipedia
:eek:
Think I’ll pass.
Not sure, but at the end, he eats, shoots and leaves! 
I was in a discount store and I got the DVD for a movie called State of Grace from a bargain bin. It’s a mob movie from 1990 that I had never heard of. The cast includes Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, John Turturro, and John C. Reilly.
I haven’t seen it myself, but I like Nick Stahl and it sounded… let’s say interesting.
Marie and Bruce had a decent cast, but it was actually a bad movie, so that explains things…
I took this bullet this weekend too. What’s good about is great; what’s bad about is fatal.
I also took the *Deception *bullet: Huge Jackman, Ewan McGregor, Michelle Williams in a cliche “oops we accidentally switched identities” twisty-ended yawner.
Kevin Bacon
Julie Delpy
Brendan Fraser
Andy Garcia
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Emile Hirsch
Forest Whittaker
–in a cliche faux noir with the added “huh?” of a psychic gangster.
I lust over both of the two male stars, and couldn’t bring myself to watch this.
Pretty entertaining. You could say about this what you can say about the best of the movies in this thread: “It’s crap, but it’s crap on a motorcycle.”*
Directed by Milos Forman, no less. Word on the street is it’s terrible.
Utterly, utterly unwatchable.
*Pauline Kael, on An Officer and a Gentlemen
Bullets I haven’t taken yet (any volunteers?):
Love in the Time of Cholera: directed by Mike Newell, with Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt, and John Leguizamo. Buzz is it stinks.
Then She Found Me: directed by Helen Hunt, with Helen Hunt, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick, and Colin Furth. Buzz: Suckage.
Flashbacks of a Fool: stars Daniel Craig and, it says here, Eve. No buzz, no idea.
Lake City: Sissy Spacek, Rebecca Romijn, and Dave Frickin Matthews. Zero buzz. But Dave Matthews?
The Good Life: Zooey Deschanel, Chris Klein, Bill Paxton, Harry Dean Stanton, Donal Logue, Drea di Matteo, Patrick Fugit. Huh?
My Zinc Bed: Written by David Hare. Uma Thurman, Jonathan Pryce, Paddy Considine. Nevahoydovit.

Edison Force: Morgan Freeman, LL Cool J, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Spacey, Dyland McDermott, John Heard, Damien Wayans, Piper Perabo. W. T. F. Where’s Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Taylor?
Sleepwalking: Nick Stahl, Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Hopper. No data.
Columbus Day: Val Kilmer, Marg Helgenberger, and Wilmer Valderrama. No idea.
Autumn Hearts: Susan Sarandon, Christopher Plummer, Gabriel Byrne, and Max von Frikken Sydow. Again, WTF?
Beautiful Ohio: William Hurt, Rita Wilson, Julianna Margolies, Michelle Trachtenberg. Directed by Chad “Who?” Lowe.
Convicted: Connie Nielsen, Aidan Quinn, Kelly Preston, Tim Daley. Directed by Bille August. I got nothin.
The Deal: William H. Macy and Meg “More Plastic Surgery Please” Ryan, Jason Ritter, Elliott Gould, LL Cool J.
And two I have taken:
The Grand: Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Dennis Farina, Richard Kind, Chris Parnell, and Werner Gott-dam Herzog. Frickin hilarious, don’t miss it.
Moscow Zero: Val Kilmer, Vincent Gallo. Don’t touch this one with a stick. Kill anyone who offers it to you. Directed by María Lidón, whose last movie, Yo Puta, starred Darryl Hannah and Denise Richards.
It’s pretty damned good, actually.
I’ve seen this. It’s as bad as it gets (sic) without being completely unwatchable – i.e., I did make it all the way to the end. It’s pretty damn bad, though.
Perfect for a triple bill with Cronenberg’s *Crash *and Boxing Helena.

Glen Garry Glen Ross. or is it vice versa?
Excellent movie,bigname cast based on a stage play and made as a labour of love by the stars for I’m told minimal pay.
Doesn’t qualify for this thread though: nowhere near straight-to-video, and it still has a HUGE cult following.
lissener, would you say *In the Electric Mist *was worth a rental or not? I’m struggling with something to download from Amazon tonight… I read the book (big Burke fan) but never even knew they made a movie.
Alternately, if you had to choose from the following (I realize you don’t know my taste, just play along…) which would it be?
Milk
Australia
Changeling
Burn After Reading
