prezjay-76791 Downright amazing. Clue is one of my favorite movies ever made. The cast choice is outstanding (especially Tim Curry and Madelain Kahn!) Conveluted? Yes. Confusing? Sometimes. Cult Classic? Absolutely.Clue will leave you clueless. 10/10

jimbo-53-186511 Six guests receive a letter asking them to attend a secluded mansion with little to no explanation given in their letters. However, it soon becomes clear that these six people haven't been selected at random and they all form part of the dastardly scheme of an unknown party known as 'The Body' whom it seems has been blackmailing them. When a few of the guests in the house end up murdered, the other guests must work together to figure out the identity of the killer...Based on the popular board game Cluedo, Clue is a wonderful idea for a film and it certainly had bags of potential (and indeed a lot of this potential is highlighted at the start of the film when the mysterious guests first become acquainted), but once all the introductions are out of the way the film, for me, sadly went downhill very fast...There is far too much exposition and not enough action in the first half of the film; I get that some exposition is necessary to establish the characters and how each of them slots into the story, but I do think that this aspect of the film could have been trimmed down somewhat to prevent audiences from nodding off. In fact, the only thing that prevented me from taking my eyes off the screen was Colleen Camp's wonderful assets!!Things do liven up slightly when 'The Body' is introduced, but unfortunately from this point forward the film goes from being practically sedate to being overbearing, loud and irritating. The cast just seem to be running round, crashing into each other and yelling at one another for most of the second half of the film which is fun for a while but wears thin when it seems to just be chaotic for the sake of being chaotic (sometimes it reminded me of The Benny Hill show). A lot of the cast are guilty of overacting (particularly Tim Curry whose hammy performance actually started to annoy me towards the end of the film).Things get worse towards the end when the film tries to be too clever by getting bogged down in misdirection and a ridiculous 3 twist ending which was pointlessly confounding and it seemed evident that both director and screenwriter didn't know when to wrap this mess up!! In fact it's hard to believe that John Landis was involved in this crap as he has shown both before and after this film that he's capable of much better.I certainly liked the idea of making a film based on the popular board game of Cluedo, but sadly like a lot of the murders depicted in the film Clue is badly executed...

I am going to be the movie man for basementbanter, giving you people reviews of new movies, and recommendations of some of my favorites. I love horror movies so I will be giving you guys a healthy dose of horror recommendations, but I will constantly mix it up and will suggest a few movies a week. While I am a film student don't expect random art-house movies that no one actually gives a sh*t about popping up here. Raiders of the lost Ark, Wolf of Wall Street and The Exorcist are some of my favorite movies, so except guns, girls, laughs and scares from my recommendations. With that being said, I will try and recommend movies not everyone has seen that I think most people will enjoy. Without further ado here is my first recommendation:Clue (1985): You remember that murder mystery board game that you probably used to play with your family back in the day? Yeah they made a movie out of that, and unlike Battleship with Rihanna it wasn't a complete croc of sh*t. In fact it is f**king hysterical. From the slutty maid showing all of the cleavage, to the very clearly closeted homosexual Mr. Green all of the characters impress with quick, funny, razor sharp dialogue.However, the real scene stealer is Tim Curry (of IT and Rocky Horror Picture Show fame) as Wadsworth the butler. He is funny in every single scene he is in especially his frantic speech summing everything up at the end. He is classy, clever and hysterical. It's a comedy with the setting of a classic horror movie, and a mystery like the best thrillers. All while not wasting an opportunity to make a joke.Clue is one of those rare movies that never gets old no matter how many times you watch it. Each time you find yourself laughing at jokes you hadn't noticed before, and new clues that make repeated viewings just as enjoyable as the first. This movie will have you rolling on your ass laughing and trying your hardest to count to 6 (1+1+2+1?).So if you enjoyed comedies like Airplane or Tropic Thunder with clever writing and non-stop jokes from start to finish; or if you just like smiling, happiness, cleavage and having a good time then this is a comedy for you.Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. I will keep the recommendations coming and other movie related articles out daily.

durrantmax Clue, when it was first released, received less than rave reviews, leading us to believe it wasn't well made. But Clue should be seen as much deeper than the sketch, gag filled, shallow comedy one may be subjected to see. It is a powerful teaching tool, an exploration of morality in an unstable society. The movie puts to use the all star cast, using their skills to paint a tableau of characters deeply disturbed, yet perfectly matched to teach a message subtly, steering away from didactic ism. In its effective combination of satire, social issues of the time, nutty characters and an outrageous setting, a brilliant message shines through. It will have you laughing until the end and you will come away better than before. When seen in the right light, Clue is a masterpiece ripe with witty interchanges, clever subject matter and a lesson for its audiences.
