"The Linguini Incident" is aging better than one might have thought back in 1991. At the time, it seemed like a trendy summation of the chic and jaded in New York City: Rosanna Arquette is a would-be Houdini who makes ends meet by waitressing in a hip eatery called Dali; David Bowie is a fallen playboy/gambler and would-be U.S. citizen who has been reduced to tending bar at Dali and trying to get a waitress-any waitress-to marry him so he can get a green card; and Eszter Balint is a would-be fashion ...

Rating: - Stuck in wrong sector of trend cycle
This is a fun screwy movie, not a laugh riot but you'll have a smileon your face through the whole things. Bowie is wonderful in it--an underutilized screen talent.
Ok, so it's almost camp? In about five years, this film, and a lot of other what I'll call "Third Generation Screwball Comedy"--items from the early-Eighties to early Nineties--will be in high demand: "Earth Girls are Easy," "Nothing but Trouble," "My Stepmother is an Alien," "Mom and Dad Save the World," "Straight to Hell," ...

I'm always the last to know anything, but in case there is anyone else who might be even more "last to know" than I am, here's the scoop.

Since it's already out-of-print, for copies of this DVD you'll probably ... Read More
Rating: - I can't rave enough about this film!!!!!!!
Having been a huge fan of Bowie's music for years, I started renting and watching anything he appeared in. Lo and behold, I stumbled across this gem in about 1997, and still pull it out, dust off the VCR, and watch it whenever I need a pick-me-up.
This movie has it all; humor, romance, action, and intrigue. An excellent screenplay, soundtrack, cast and cinematography make this film worth the commitment to spend a couple of hours in front of the TV. Unfortunately, it's out of print... Will they ... Read More
Rating: - Bra weapons, magic tricks and one snarky Bowie
This is my favorite Bowie movie of all time. Not only are the characters downright quirky and fun, but the plot itself is funny in its own right. Who knew a pair of handcuffs could get you into so much trouble?
I just hope that it eventually makes its way onto DVD!
