Movies about Holly...

Big Picture

Kevin Bacon, Emily Longstreth

Sony Pictures, 1997

Gets better everytime I watch

+ GREAT MOVIE
+ I'd Like to Thank My Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

I just love this movie, but it may not be for all, since it is a very specific type of humor. Don't expect "Best in Show" or "Waiting for Gufman," because this is not a mockumentary, but rather a really funny movie about the ups and downs in Hollywood. And may I add, very on point. I just love it ...

Player (1992)

Tim Robbins, Greta Scacchi

New Line Home Video, 1998

A smart satire that hits its mark and wins my respect...

+ Gaping and yawning on the deserted sound stage
+ Altman taking on Hollywood

Swimming With Sharks

Kevin Spacey, Frank Whaley

Vidmark / Trimark, 1996

Spacey at his best

+ Biting!

Whether you like Kevin Spacey or not, the character he plays in Swimming With Sharks will inspire a lot of different reactions from you. You'll hate him, you'll laugh because of him, you'll feel sorry for him, and in the end, you won't really know how you feel about him. But along the way, you'll ...

Welcome to Hollywood

Mike Aichler, David Andriole

Pm Home Video, 2000

Funny take on La-La Land

This film is a biting take on fame and the city that's on an endless search to foist it on people. Anyone who's ever been on an audition will laugh/cringe as the true humilations of such events are placed squarely in the crosshairs. What this film lacks in production values, it more than makes up ...

The Wizard of Speed and Time

Lynda Aldon, Harvey J. Alperin

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

Pure Film Magic

+ A Classic
+ Long, Long, Ago

What I love about this film: 1)It was made independently. 2)It's an inspiring story that's good for the whole family. 3)It has some nifty special FX that will leave you asking "How'd they do that!?!?" (There is NO CGI in this movie) 4) The FX are part of the story, not just "icing on the ...

Hijacking Hollywood

Noella Akwiri, Shirly Brener

Broken Twig Productions, 1999

One of the best Indie films of all time!

[...] Neil Mandt, Henry Thomas, Scott Thompson are all hilarious! and all those stereotypes are humourous. They make fun of themselves and their surroundings. If you know who Scott Thompson is(Kids in the hall) you will appreciate his performance. This film is meant to make fun of a mock urban ...

Mistress

Robert Wuhl, Martin Landau

Lions Gate/Vestron, 1995

Indie filmmaking gets an intelligent send-up

+ It's about the bimbo... or is it?
+ Nothing but Excellent
+ A brilliant Hollywood comedy
