Crazy In Alabama

sherrie87 · 09 Sep 2003, 04:08

I finally got to see Crazy In Alabama last night, and I sure did enjoy it. Meat was great, he sure does evil well! Though I kept thinking that it would have been a better movie if the whole Melanie Griffith segment of the movie were gone- I enjoyed the storyline with Pee Joe and the sheriff so much more, I would have liked to see it explored deeper. (Even my husband, not a Meat fan at all, said he wished they would just focus on that.) It would almost be better as two seperate movies. I loved the boy who played Pee Joe, and ML was menacing as h*ll while still showing a bit of good-old-boy charm. Two thumbs up, check this one out when you have a chance.

Formula 51 and Salton Sea are next on my viewing list....

yes i agree with you it would have been better if they had cut melanie
griffith out of the film more.
but I suppose they wouldnt have been much of a film then.
As for meat how does he do those evil looks so well???.....!!
love his films as much as his singing.

Never seen that movie, but it sounds great. Hope that i will see it soon. Formula 51 is a nice movie, a bit chaotic, and i know that ML himself didn't liked the movie... well, he told that at a concert.

Bigmomma · 13 Sep 2003, 20:24

never heard of that one what is it about Tim?

Tim · 14 Sep 2003, 01:31

Well Bigmomma... that movie is about a new type of drugs, and meat is offcourse an evil person.
It is not a very good movie, but i had to buy it cause ML was in it. I've seen it once.... don't think there will come more times.

Bigmomma · 14 Sep 2003, 01:34

mmm, maybe I will give it a miss then, thanks for the review tim.
maybe you should keep it as a warning not to be hasty next time...

ps Ive made the same mistake myself before..

I love Meat in films - I wish I had seen a few more of them!

By the way, I think Formula 51 has Roger Moore in too (playing a retired spy

) - Roger Moore and Meat Loaf in one film - my dream team!

I could be totally wrong though

Crazy in Alabama: I think it's one of Meat's better films to date. It was promoted as a Melanie Griiffith movie, but she was the C plot, not even the B plot. Then again, she was doing the director.

Formula 51: I've watched this movie SEVERAL times and found it funny as hell! I don't recall seeing Roger Moore in it tho. The only thing I heard he's done lately is "Boat Trip".

PanicLord · 30 Nov 2003, 17:17

Yeah, you're right, I just realised he is one called "The Enemy" (2001 ish) not Formula 51. Ah well, maybe one day.

This was a good film. I enjoyed the whole thing and it was a really good black comedy that managed to hammer home the points it was trying to make very well indeed. Meat was great, I actually found myself disliking him which is no doubt exactly what he was hoping for when playing the Sheriff character.

Great film, I'd reccomend it to anyone.

I totally agree with you! It's a great Black Comedy and I disliked the Sheriff and it just amazed me soo much how Meat can make people watch the Sheriff and not Meat Loaf. If you get what I mean!

I didn't just dislike the Sheriff, Meat was so good in this movie, his "evil smile"

and his talking, that I really hated "him". I totally "forgot" it's Meat and wished they catch the sheriff and just do with him what he did with all these guys.

Meat was brilliant.

LostSoul · 21 Apr 2004, 01:15

Black comedy? it's a drama!

It's a good movie indeed - it was underrated when it was released. Antonio Banderas did a good job and Meat was brilliant, maybe his best role so far...

Drama?

I'd say it was a drama with a hint of black comedy in it.

It sounds an even better description.

Pop into a Global Video. I bought mine there

As well as Outside Ozona (didn't enjoy much, best part was watching Meat sleep

) and Black Dog if you're lucky.
