The Film With Three Brains

Deathtrap (1982) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Superman sets aside his cape to prove his acting powers for this adaptation of a play about plays and murder. With an early death, numerous reversals, and enough weapons to make Chekhov choke, Sidney Lumet played it out differently than playwright Levin. Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine play cat and mouse in Deathtrap, while the Brains bust out their best yet.

Blade (1998) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Well before the box office dominance (or even existence) of the MCU, Wesley Snipes was kicking vampire ass as Marvel’s Blade.  With apologies to Howard the Duck, this stylish flick was the first successful comic book movie not called Batman or Superman, and it paved the way for The Matrix, Underworld, and every other black leather and sunglass-clad action film to follow. Join the Brains as we ice skate uphill.

Weird Science (1987) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Two teenage dweebs create a beautiful woman with their computer, a la the Bride of Frankenstein. This screwy sci-fi departure for John Hughes tells teenagers it’s okay to be yourself and it’s even better to possess a magic-wielding Kelly LeBrock. Forget all that—the Brains just love Bill Paxton and you should too, butt wad.

We Hot American Summer (2001) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Molly Shannon? Sounds like it could be a current comedy, yet this “campy” farce was forged 25 years ago! This heap of schtick has become a cult classic, but for whose cult?  Link hands with the Brains around the campfire as we summon the ghost of goofy filmmaking.

Hollywood Shuffle (1987) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Does an ‘80’s comedy film that ridicules Hollywood ethnic stereotypes still hold true? Or does it even matter as long as the film is funny?  Or are stereotypes not a laughing matter in any case anymore? The Brains overanalyze and underdeliver as per usual.

The Game (1997) - The Film with Three Brains Review

David Fincher's follow-up to Se7en thinks outside the box with a head in it.  Michael Douglas receives a mysterious gift from his brother (Sean Penn) that is either an elaborate game or just sophisticated phishing.  Is this psychological escapade an attempt to mentally break someone to the point of suicide, or what it takes to make someone want to live their fullest life? Can it be both? Roll the dice and enter The Game with your favorite scrambled brains.

Pulp Fiction (1994) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Travolta and Sam Jackson star as henchmen who shoot the breeze (and the occasional person) while running the crime boss's errands, in this eminently quotable black comedy. We forego unraveling the twisted timeline in favor of this core question:  should Tarantino ever act in his own movies beyond a brief cameo??  Check out the big brains on . . . The Brains?

Stranger Than Paradise (1984) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Jim Jarmusch gained accolades for showing the studio world that a movie can be just as slow, aimless, and infused with deadpan humor as real life—a notion embraced by the likes of Seinfeld, Wes Anderson—and that sometimes foible and folly reveal as much about the human condition as flashy narrative thread. Listen to how the Brains see everything in black and white--they've 'put a spell on you!'

Edward Scissorhands (1990) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Tim Burton siphoned the sentiment of his oddball childhood into the fairytale of Edward Scissorhands: a teenage creation with scissors for hands who struggles to fit into a suburban world that is both amazed and frightened by him. The star power of Depp and Winona Ryder could fuel any 90’s film, but aside from the hairdos and topiaries, does Ed still make the cut? The Brains know!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) - The Film with Three Brains Review

Michael Caine is a debonair con man who takes a wager with a gauche scam artist (Steve Martin) about who is the best swindler, loser leaves town.  Does an audience love being conned or in on the con? Or do we just love being amused? Doubtful the Brains deliver answers to any questions but that won’t stop you from giving us your time.

Pitch Black (2000) - The Film with Three Brains Review

You know it’s a bad day when your spaceship crash lands on a planet the very same day a 22-year swarm of alien, flesh-eating locusts breaks free from the hive and the only person you can turn to is a murderous convict…unless that criminal is Vin Diesel! He was furious before fast and way too cool for some loser extraterrestrials. You're not afraid of the dark, are you?
