[.ca] Blue Iguana (ISBN 6301133390)

So Bad it's Brilliant...:
The Blue Iguana, is not a good movie. The actors are wooden, the script is dire and the plot is as unbelievable as the actors' performances. However, this is what saves it as a movie. When I saw this movie, it was about 3 in the morning and I was very bored. This movie held my attention because its diabolical attributes are laughable. It is the material of a cult classic. It is perhaps one of the best movies that I have ever seen, by virtue of being so tragically bad. Bad movies don't/shouldn't succeed. This one is no exception financially, although from an entertainment point of view, it is a work of genius

Maybe timing does mean everything??:
A couple days ago at like 2 AM, I was soooooo bored... so I sat down in front of my good friend the television and this movie had just barely started. Maybe it was just because I didnt' want to flip by anymore fat trapper infomercials, but I found myself totally hooked! Dylan's character was so unbelievably suave, and his sarcastic humor made me laaaaaaaaugh :D but then again I always laugh harder when affected by lack of sleep.. ~L~ but either way, I found this movie funny as hell.

Killer Kitsch:
I was just watching Desperado with Antonio Banderas for the third or fourth time and it occured to me that this dangerous Mexican saloon town formula goes way back to the eighties (or maybe even before) and that there was a stylish movie I saw over a decade ago in the theater that was the quintessence of that whole "Urban Spaghetti Western" as I call it. That movie was the Blue Iguana, a movie where the women are as dangerous as they are delectable, the stone-faced hombres will kill you for your shoes, the fuzz are as obsessive as they are incompetent and life is cheaper than drugstore chocolate. Movies like the Blue Iguana are really Film Noir but set in sun-scorched (in this case tropical) frontier towns. They are loaded with gangster/cowboy kitsch in front of a filigree of Flamenco. I think I'm gonna paint my living room lime green, get some red, wooden furniture and chill with this cult classic!

Cool Movie!:
This is a movie that is underrated and although it didnt make much at the box office it was still a good movie. Dylan McDermott plays Vince and he looks so young in this movie....Yano Anaya who helps him along the way plays himself...Yano in the credits it says that.The ending was pretty cool with the donkey and they end up riding it. Good movie now where is the DVD???
