The Fly [Blu-ray] description David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of the science fiction classic about a scientist who accidentally swaps body parts with a fly is both smart and terrifying: an allegory for the awful processes of slow death and a monster movie with a tragic spin. Jeff Goldblum gives a masterful performance as a sweet, nerdy scientist whose romance with a writer (Geena Davis) makes him more fully alive. Next thing you know, a tiny oversight in an experiment causes him to transmogrify, gradually, into something more like an insect than a human. This is Cronenberg (Scanners, Videodrome) country, so expect The Fly to be a gross-out, but in the way that disease corrupts the body and can make a loved one unrecognizable on every level. This is one of Cronenberg's best films, and certainly one of the important movies of the 1980s. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Well done |
| This movie is very well executed. The special effects and the acting are awesome.
That aside, I really despised this revolting piece of crap. This movie is gross, probably one of the grossest movies I have ever seen in my life and I watched a movie where a little boy found a stillborn baby in a barn and kept it in a box under his bed. I've watched a movie where some guy died of a heroin overdose, his 8 year old daughter didn't realize he was dead, put lipstick and a blond wig on him and left him there for weeks while she ran around talking to some severed doll heads that she kept on her fingers like finger-puppets. That should give you some indication, but sadly, I don't think I'm capable of even describing how disgusting this movie is. I couldn't finish watching it, I NEVER ever want to watch it again, not only because it's gory and it is VERY gory, but because of the sheer heights of psychological horror it soars to. Besides that, I like Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum and think they have done wonderful acting in the past, but I hated the revolting, stupid, vile, idiotic characters that they played. Geena Davis is a reporter and Goldblum is a mad scientist who sacrifices poor, innocent monkeys to his crazy dream, which is to build a teleporter and so he can be rich. Do you know who I would root for in this movie? Some trigger happy, gun-toting psychotic ex-marine character that would walk in there and just blow Jeff Goldblum's melting, oozing puss- filled head off already. I never wanted a character to die so much in my entire life! Just end this monstrosity, please! If I was Geena Davis, I would have skipped out of his apartment after I saw him step out of his bathroom with a jar of extremities that had fallen off of his body and then peel his ear off the side of his head, and I would have returned with a machine gun, pumped it in his direction at close range until it was completely devoid of ammunition and put him out of his sugar-infested misery. After warning him that shooting him was going to hurt me a lot more than it hurt him. And Geena's character. Give it up, you idiot. You only knew him for about a month. (I'm having a really hard time trying to describe this without profanity.) He's sticking to the walls because all of his fingers have fallen off and he's actually excited about the change. He's gone, let him go, he is not coming back! Also, I would not be twiddling my thumbs in an abortion clinic so that he can wander in, carry me off and plead for me to have his maggot-child because it's the last vestige of humanity left. Whose fault is that, dumbass? No one told you to try teleporting yourself without a wingman. You saw what happened to your monkey. So if I was Geena, about the time I put my machine gun down out of mercifully killing him, I would find myself a coat hangar and take care of that little problem. And then to be safe, I would wander the city throwing myself down every staircase I came across. Or maybe I would just shoot myself. I think watching a guy puke all over his ring-dings and then start crawling around on his walls, because he has started sticking to them would make me feel very old and like I've seen way too much of the world. Bottomline: I hated it! But I'm rating it fairly for what it is. If you want to see this movie and you like...this kind of thing, this might be the movie for you. I had to abort, and the DVD for "The Fly 2" remained cold, virginal and untouched as I made a beeline for the nearest used book/DVD store. |
