474.0. "Boxing Helena" by 5468::DOWNS () Fri Feb 25 1994 12:49

    I just saw the movie Boxing Helena.  It just came out on video.  If you
    are into the off beat type of flicks this is one to see.  Has anyone
    else seen it and what did you think??

474.11mixed review, I think we were jipped by the ending12368::michaudJeff Michaud, PATHWORKS for Windows NTThu Mar 17 1994 03:5210
	Well back to the base topic, I just saw this movie and
	found the movie interesting, but must say am not sure
	I 100% understand the ending.  I'll ask after the
	spoiler warning ......

[spoiler warning]

	Was most of the movie a dream of Nick's?  And why did he
	have a bottle of pills clunched in his hand when he
	woke up in the waiting room?
474.125468::DOWNSThu Mar 17 1994 17:106
    Toward the beginning of the movie when she was leaving in a rage, just
    before getting hit by the car he took some pills with a glass of wine. 
    They must have been sleeping pills.  He must have kept them in his hand
    the whole time.  I loved the movie and the ending.

    Caught this friday night......
    
    Yuck, the lead, Nick, was terrible - he belongs in B movies - not to
    insult B movies but I didn't think this guy could act his way out of a
    paper bag....and would someone please style this guy's hair?  For a
    prominent surgeon with big bucks he sure didn't dress like it.  And if
    he is gonna keep 'creamin in his jeans' he should start wearing
    underwear with Serenity pads instead of always changing his shirts.
    
    1/2 a * out of ***** and thats only due to Sherilyn Fenn's fine acting
    job.
    
    RE: the spoiler
    
    
    Seems he downed a handful of pills, took a swig of wine and ran after
    Helena - why I don't know she was such a major bitch....anyway.seems
    his "dreamworld" starts there.  Best I can tell the pills didn't take
    affect until after he got her top the hospital but why he clutched the
    bottle for so long is hard to image since they showed him "working on
    her" and helping in the ambulance.

	I thought he was quite "stylish"  well dressed, and what does hair
	style have to do with being a surgeon anyway???

>>what does hair style have to do with being a surgeon anyway???
    
    Nothing  - but...the whole phrase was "..a prominent surgeon with big
    bucks...."
    
    My intent was - with all the money this guy has you'd think he could
    afford a nice hair cut or 'style' so what if its long - I prefer longer
    hair on men myself - but only if its styled or kept well - his just
    looked long and stringy and UNkept.

	I guess what I was saying is, "that is the style" today, whatever
	style is....I know this wasn't the only 90's movie you've seen, so
	you have seen that "style" before....
