Moulin Rouge is a great film, and one of the best this year. It's clashes everything great together and makes an amazing and NEW film. Moulin Rouge is an OPERA, a MUSICAL, a COMEDY, a DRAMA, oh let the list roll on and on and on. Moulin Rouge, it is my guess, will destroy the almost perfect Rocky Horror Picture Show, and bring something new to the midnight people. If not, oh well. If this movie doesn't get noticed for some award somewhere than there is no hope for mankind. I hate calling this a "movie", I think it's a film, because a film means something and isn't just slapped together in one night. This is ART, this is everything ART should be. My mind is so full of greatness from this film I'm having a very hard time writing about it.

SEE THIS MOVIE, THEN SEE IT AGAIN (because you'll want to), then write to God or whatever corp. is owning the theater, and beg them to make something like this every year. AHHHHHHHHH. (****) -J.Leonard Rollins-

This movie is about accepting things, that things happen and you are here. All you do is witness, sometimes react to the things that happen. Magnolia is one of the greatest films ever made. Since out on DVD I have watched Magnolia ABOUT once a month. I am always excited to see it again. I have bought the script and read it a billion times, (along with highlighting parts and making a chart of the film). I never know that three hours pass when I'm seeing Magnolia, I only know that it's a poem, a painting, and a song rolled up into a FILM. I love this film, and I will watch it in a few weeks and still love it. Thank you P.T. Anderson, THANK YOU. (***** out of ****) THANKS-J.Leonard Rollins-

Although I like Steven Spielberg, I don't like the giants he works for, and I don't like corperations owning all of filmdome. That is why TROMA is the best and (I hate to say it), most intelligent movie company running. They have to be. It's amazing that they're still up, not even ROGER CORMAN could survive the great fall of INDIE. What people label "INDIE" today makes me sick. Anything that looks cheap is "INDIE" Well *uc* that. TROMA is it, the last of it all. And Terror Firmer actually beats Tromeo and Juliet has Troma's best movie. When I saw Tromeo and Juliet I knew that Lloyd Kauffman had mastered his craft, but now I see he's creating things to boot. THERE IS GOOD ACTING, no GREAT ACTING IN THIS FILM. And some sound effects make the movie a little dumb, but everything else is great. Even the musical score adds to some laughs for me. After seeing previews for TOXIC AVENGER 4, I don't think Terror Firmer is going to last long on the list. (****) -J.Leonard Rollins-
