Lori Petty, Ice-T, James Hong, Malcolm McDowell, Scott Coffey, Jeff Kober - Dir:Rachel Talalay In the year 2033, an evil dictator hoards water in the Australian desert until a spunky, punky girl steals a tank and joins up with an army of mutant kangaroo men to restore justice. TANK GIRL is based on the action-packed comic book by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. The alternative soundtrack features Belly, Björk, Devo, Hole, Ice-T, Iggy Pop, L7, Stomp, and Veruca Salt, and the riotous cast includes Iggy, Ann Magnuson, and Malcolm McDowell. In the year 2033, the world's water supply is controlled by Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), a maniacal dictator who presides over the Water & Power company. Tank Girl (Lori Petty), a tough punk water poacher, struggles alongside her comrades to deliver the valuable resource to parched persons around the globe. But when Tank Girl is captured by Kesslee, he makes her work as one of his human automatons in the W & P mines. Her fate goes from bad to worse when Kesslee makes her a proposition: She can go free if she agrees to exterminate the ravenous Rippers--half-man, half-kangaroo beasts. But before she's forced to answer, along comes Jet Girl (Naomi Watts), who rescues Tank Girl from Kesslee's clutches. Now these two spunky chicks will do whatever it takes to destroy Kesslee and hydrate the desert planet. The film is based on the comic book by Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett. Courtney Love executive produced the soundtrack for TANK GIRL. Tank Girl Reviews: "...[The film] oozes slapdash flash and snarky attitude....[Petty] is as infectious as her Boopish voice..."
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today "...There are dazzling pyrotechnics, state-of-the-art makeup, a lavish song-and-dance production, [and] nifty animation..."
-- Leonard Klady, Variety "...TANK GIRL is a comic-based movie with the flashy pop style of a real comic book....TANK GIRL has a likeable brashness..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "[A] delectable cult movie with an effervescent, disheveled, and drug-evocative charm."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
underrated masterpiece
Tank Girl is not just a movie, its like a whole genre packed into an hour and a half. It couldn't have more comic book style. This may not be traditionally the best film ever but it oozes style and personally I couldn't fail to get caught up in it.

 $10.29
The feature film debut of Hayao Miyazaki (NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, PRINCESS MONONOKE), THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO depicts one adventure of the master thief Lupin and his rough-around-the-edges gunman, Jigen. Something of a cross between Batman, James Bond, and Cary Grant's character in TO CATCH A THIEF, Lupin is a suave ladies' man who is also given to feats of athletic daring, aided by a gadget filled belt that gets him out of more than a few scrapes. The plot has Lupin and Jigen traveling to the sleepy little country of Cagliostro and coming to the aid of the unwilling fiance of the diabolical Count Cagliostro. After CAGLIOSTRO, Miyazaki stopped creating "slapstick" feature films in favor of more serious fare; CAGLIOSTRO shows, however, that he is quite capable of delivering the goods in this genre. Based on the Lupin comics by the artist Monkey Punch, CAGLIOSTRO is a great heist/chase film that surpasses most similar live action fare and breezes by with more than a couple of inventive set pieces, as well as some excellent comic dialogue.

However, Van soon learns that the seemingly perfect Doug has some demons of his own, ones that eerily echo Van's.

$7.05
Jason Lee plays a well-intentioned Everyman who is forced into a life of crime in STEALING HARVARD. Engaged to the beautiful Elaine (Leslie Mann) and saving up to buy their dream house, John (Lee) appears to have it all. But when his sister shows him a videotape in which he promises to pay for his niece's college education, he finds himself desperate for thirty thousand dollars. Recruiting his slightly psychopathic friend Duff (Tom Green) to help him come up with some fast cash, John quickly discovers that he's only making things worse for himself. After a bumbled mini-mart hold-up and a house burglary gone terribly wrong, John's descent into a life of crime takes even more outrageous turns for the worse. After he eventually comes clean with Elaine, she hatches a plan to rob her father's (Dennis Farina) home healthcare business. As the trio breaks into the Homespital offices, a maniacal police detective (John C. McGinley) and Elaine's father both make their move. Former Kids in the Hall member-turned-director Bruce McCulloch, working from an outlandish script from Peter Tolan (ANALYZE THIS, WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM?), gets solid performances out of his three leads, in addition to supporting players McGinley, Farina, and Richard Jenkins.

$13.59
The Sweet dominated the U.K. charts in the 1970s with their potent mixture of rock 'n' roll melodies and flamboyant glam rock stage outfits. The tunes that got their fans platform shoes stomping along included "Blockbuster," "Wig Wam Bam," "Ballroom Blitz," and many others, all of which are included on this in-depth look at their career. Band members, producers, and managers all recollect the heady days of chart domination, making this a fondly nostalgic overview of a highly frivolous chapter in music history.

But Aaron has teenage son, Matthew (Chris Carmack), who is fascinated by his grandfather's criminal past, and volunteers to help him find Kurtz. Produced and co-written by Rob Cohen (THE FAST & THE FURIOUS), THE LAST RIDE is a high-powered television production which features not only a handful of thrilling car chases, but also a trio of seasoned screen veterans--Hopper, Ward, and Patton--in solid performances.
