 Rated 1 out of 5
All dressed up and nowhere to go...
Maybe it’’s the camp. Maybe it’’s the grating music. Or just having to see Tim Curry and Barry Bostwick in drag. This movie is AWFUL, and I certainly don’’t mean "it’’s so bad it’’s good". It’’s puerile and self-indulgent, and a sure-fire remedy for boredom. Because faced with the prospect of having to watch this movie would get me motivated to do anything but that.OK, I’’m willing to concede that RHPSh as some sort of attempt to make a 70s anthem for gays (or anyone else unaccepted by mainstream society). Find the courage in your alleged "freakishness" and ta-daa! It’’s outta the closet and "Heeeelloooo world!" After all, the "straights" and their society are the true freakish forces in the universe, and the "evil" Frank ’’n Furter just wanted to create a safe haven for his kind. And besides, EVERYONE has a little hidden freak inside them just clamoring to get out. Still, this movie is beyond unwatchable. For freaks on parade "Breakfast Club" was more entertaining.  Rated 5 out of 5!
Cult Classic at its best!!
This is the best movie ever!!!! The cast is outstanding. How often do you find greats like Tim Curry, Susan Saradon, Meatloaf, and so many more. The soundtrack is absolutely astounding. I think this movie is a superb example of satire. Get it today!!!!- Rated 5 out of 5!
There’’s no crime in giving yourself over to pleasure. ;D
Ah, yes! How can I possibly forget to provide a Halloween review for one of the greatest cult films of all time? What can I say about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that hasn’’t been said already? I can best describe this as a spooktacular musical extravanganza! A monstrous creation brought to life by genius Richard O’’Brian, this movie is a decadent amalgamation of sex, science fiction, and horror. Don’’t worry about the R-rating, kiddies; "Rocky Horror" is one of the few provacative pictures that doesn’’t stretch across the borders of bad taste. And of course, the film has become even more incredible thanks to its infamous audience participation. Despite having debuted in theaters way back in 1975, "Rocky Horror’’s" infectious songs and fashion trends never get old!
Here’’s a brief synopsis for all you virgins: Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play Brad and Janet, a pair of wholesome lovers who planned to announce their engagement to their former science teacher, Dr. Everett Scott (Johnathan Adams). But on a dark stormy night, after suffering a flat tire, Brad and Janet enter a castle owned by the film’’s star, Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry), a delighfully evil scientist/ transvestite from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania! Put on your makeup and fishnet stockings! Let’’s do the Time Warp (again) with creepy handyman Riff Raff (Richard O’’Brian), sultry maid Magenta (Patricia Quinn), and rock & roll groupie Columbia (Nell Campbell). Even Meatloaf gets his own rock solo as the Doctor’’s motorcycling zombie Eddie (a rebel who ends up getting served for dinner!) Let’’s not forget also that "Rocky Horror’’s" unforgettable soundtrack and hilarious dialogue are all narrated by the dignified Criminologist (Charles Gray-RIP). This cult film is a must-have for all horror and musical lovers alike! Enter at your risk!
