Jimmy Zip (1999)
Pretty crappy flick
I think I made it about fifteen minutes into this movie. The moment that shut me down was the extremely lame, evil drug dealer. Did the writer ever travel to any places with drug dealers or street people? The only reason I rented it was because, somehow, a trailer for the short film starring Justin Whalin was on another video I had seen. I was extremely confused as to why they didn't credit Whalin on the box and picked it up. Don't bother with this.
I agree that the positive comments on this site are probably from people involved in producing this crap.
Go rent "Brick" or "The Chumscrubber".
Suffering Bastards (1989)
Not entirely bad. It lags at times, but McGinley is priceless
The whole movie is a come-on to Gina Gershon. The whole tale is a flashback he tells in order to get her into bed. It follows his and his's life in New Jersey or somewhere and the terrible jobs they have. All is well as long as the two brothers have their mother...but then she dies from stuffing too much sandwich in her mouth (YOU MUST CHEW!).
THe plot sucks, but Mcginley and his beautiful white choppers carry it along. He tries to smarm his way into the ladies and it never seems to work. He comes on to one of the most hideous bar rats ever in the first half hour, and he's so inept he can't even get her.
Look out for the midget from Twin Peaks as a singer channeling Elvis.
Remember Top Dollar from 'the crow'? He was Renee in 'basquiat' too. He's great in here as a real estate agent. Does anyone else think he might be a cokehead in this one? He sort of reminded me of Bernie from that movie about that weekend at Bernie's house...what was that called?
This is half decent if you're on drugs and bored. Don't seek it out, by any means.
