You ever saw "New Rose Hotel" ? I reckon, one must have a Walken obsession to get something out of that one ...

[Some Random Dude]

Oh come on, there's more in that movie than Christopher Walken. Asia Argento isn't that bad to look at is she and there are loads of tetas in the movie as well. So, actually it's a pretty good movie

[hagbard]

You don´t mean it, do you ?

Yes, there were lots of titties in the movie, and nice ones as well. But hej: We are talking about a SciFi movie - based on a William Gibson story, with actually 2 very decent actors - I can´t tell you, how disappointed I was.

Not only is the whole story quite boring, after about 2/3 of the movie it just starts repeating scenes from the beginning, now in a different order. Hell, this movie almost got me sleeping - and I never sleep in front of a running TV ...

[Blade Runner]

Natalie Wood is great in this
