Paparazzi

Everybody. Go out and see Paparazzi now. It is fucking SWEET. One of the best revenge movies i’ve seen. It’s produced by Mel Gibson so you know it’s gonna be good. I mean, he was in Payback (which is also another excellent revenge movie) so it’s not like he doesn’t know what it takes to produce a good revenge flick. Plus he’s also a pretty sadistic bastard too (ending of Braveheart anyone? and do i even need to mention The Passion Of The Christ?). Okay so Paparazzi is only PG-13 and it really doesn’t go as far as Payback in terms of revenge induced sadism nor does it have the R rated gore and violence of Braveheart/Passion. But it really didn’t need that R-ness. Shit, i didn’t even realize that i was watching a PG-13 movie. It’s a non issue. It’s still incredibly satisfying.

Cole Hauser is fucking awesome in this movie. I love that guy. I actually found myself clapping and cheering during one of the ‘payback’ scenes. It usually takes A LOT to even get a laugh out of me and for this movie to actually make me start clapping… that’s a pretty big feat. Seriously, this movie is worth seeing.

You get the feeling that this movie was made FOR actors. Watch it and you see what i mean. It’s VERY tongue in cheek, it’s got lots of in jokes and it’s a fairly cliche at times. It definitely won’t win any Oscars or anything and it probably won’t be a HUGE box office hit and i’m almost certain critics will be slamming this movie like no tomorrow but fuck all of that. It’s a fun movie. If you’re looking to have a good time, go see Paparazzi. It’s one of the most satisfying flicks i’ve seen this year. HIGHLY recommended.
