Get crazy is a dropped on its head,spun in the cotton candy machine film.Based on the Fillmore east,it features Lou Reed aping Bob Dylan,Howard Kaylan aping Jerry Garcia,Malcolm Macdowell channeling Mick Jagger etc.director Allen Arkush worked at the Fillmore,so he based his experience on the screenplay,injecting a dose of rock and roll high school in the mix. The supporting cast includes Bobby Sherman and Fabian as henchmen who are helping to sabotage the new years eve party so their boss can build on the property.Mary Woronov and the late Paul Bartel {Eating raoul}round out the cast.Watch for the marijuana cigarette spectator who gets smaller as the film goes by.
... View MoreI have this on tape and have made it a tradition, to be watched each New Years Eve for the past 20 years .... just can't think of not doing it. After Dick Clark and Times Square go off, on goes the movie. A movie about New Years Eve on New Years Eve ... what could be better. Sneaking up on 67, it's nice to know that my kids remember me doing this and still ask about to this day. It's a fun movie ... ENJOY !!! (don't pick it apart just enjoy it) Well seems I need to have more on here. So I would also like to point out that the music is good and I look forward to hearing each year, so again I'll say give it a look see, especially on New Years Eve.
... View More"Get Crazy" is one of the best movies around. When watching the movie the viewer should take notice of the actor with the big hair and beard. His name is Stephen Dunn and he actually is one of the hero's of the movie. Without giving too much away, let's just say he helps to get rid of the bomb. He doesn't have a single line in the movie but his presence is unforgettable. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes wild movies. The very beautiful Gail Edwards is also one of the stars of the movie.
... View MoreWhile there were a few moments that made my chuckle, overall this is an utterly pointless movie with a non-sensical script containing far too many jokes that will just make one writhe in agony. One can only wonder how such a film was ever made...if anything it is a great example for all screen writers on what to avoid doing with their scripts.
