Bill357 In 1994, while working as a waiter in a trendy Hollywood restaurant, aspiring filmmaker K.C. Bascombe was retrieving a frozen dish from the walk-in freezer, when the place was raided and shut down by the city of Los Angeles, after apparently making the mistake of serving Barbara Streisand her main entrée before she was finished with the teaser. (Babs hates that.)Accidentally locked in the freezer, he's trapped in a state of suspended animation for fourteen long years. Miraculously, when K.C. is thawed out, he's still alive and full of movie ideas.After a quickie lawsuit against the city, he obtains the funds to finance the quintessential early-nineties independent film, the story of a murderous, philosophical dirt-bag who take off in his 1960's convertible, on a nicotine fueled crime-spree across the truck-stops and greasy-spoon diners of the southwest, with his loud, over-sexed hick girlfriend, who likes to shout, "You sweet on me!" to greasy, fat rednecks before flipping out and offing them.The problem with KC's script was that time had passed him bye. His ideas, that were once so hip and fresh, had been squeezed of all their potential in the years that he'd been away.At his wits end, he summoned the help of others, writers more experienced in the modern ways of screen-writing. Those men helped KC a lot, introducing new concepts to the hopelessly behind-the-times filmmaker, modern concepts like having no real action or suspense in the film and adding mindless torture in order to give pimply-faced geeks a chubby.With the screenplay finished, KC was quite excited. He immediately suggested to the casting director that the two leads should be filled by Woody Harrelson (that funny guy from "Cheers") and Juliette Lewis (whom he loved in Kalifornia), only to be nervously told that those two already made a film together and besides, they're both a bit too old these days. After all, it's been fourteen years!KC then suggested Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, prompting the casting director to quit.With no famous actors in the leading roles, KC soldiered forward with an actor and actress who mimicked Woody and Juliette quite nicely, filming his movie, which he called Hide, and eventually releasing it on DVD."What's a DVB?", asked KC, who's last memories of home video were of 1994, videocassettes, and Blockbuster Video."It's called a DV-D.", replied the distributor. "It's like a tiny laser-disc!"And so it was released, prompting sarcastic a--holes like myself much merriment, as it was just too derivative of about a million other movies (Wild At Heart, Kalifornia, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, The Road Killers, Love And A .45, Freeway) from the early to mid-nineties.However, it's mindless scenes of torture, as well as it's excessive heavy-petting, did give pimply-faced geeks across America plenty of Chubbies!THE END

catfish-er I saw HIDE on Showtime last night; and, I found it to be is a very unique horror/psychological thriller type of a film. I recently saw MAD AS HELL, which gets you thinking a lot about good and evil; and, HIDE just continues in that same vein.First off, I thought that the acting was exceptional, Christian Kane and Rachel Miner star as "Billy Bear" and "Betty Boop." They are Bonny and Clyde wannabes; and, think that their fortunes lie in escaping to South America, like Butch Cassady and The Sundance Kid.Unfortunately, Billy is imprisoned for seven years; but, is being moved to another jail. That's when Betty helps break him out. The saga continues as they trace their past back to the scene of their last crime, a diner in Billy's home town… but, at the same time their past is catching up with them! The past and present get confused, in a seemingly endless loop, as Billy's torment unfolds. In his version of Hell, Billy has to hurt the ones he loves! However, in this film we see only one outcome of many possible twists to the tale. Each begins with the hoped-for escape... which, I believe was only imagined by Billy.Is Betty alive, as we saw in the first telling of the tale? Or, is Betty dead, as Billy said, when he's back in the transport being taken to another jail? We don't know; and, we won't know. However, it's obvious that Billy has become overwhelmed with guilt for his actions; and, grief from his separation from Betty.Truth be told, I think Billy went insane; and, imagined the whole thing... and, will imagine it again; and, again.At the diner, Betty said, "Today is the first day of the rest of our lives!" However, it seems that for Billy, today is the first day FOR the rest of his life... he's going to re-live it over and over!

nathan-yeo If your like me and you liked Tarantinos NBK, but felt there should've been more roaming the road slaughtering the road killing people then you'll like this film. it borrows from that and other movies, but instead of telling why the woman kills it gets more into why the guys the killer. The movie has enough twists and turns that it goes full circle. The acting was good and the writer tried to get the witty dialog that is known for Tarantinos films but just doesn't nail it.Who can forget the opening scene of step-father with the stereo-typical clean cut suburban father grooming himself in the mirror. then walks down stairs to the bloody aftermath of the mayhem he caused downstairs. Well imagine that same scene in a road-house diner, thats how the movie starts. The next scene, while his gun-moll seduce a "GoB" for murder you see the guy sidle up to a Rabid dog and have a monologue about the killer inside you. you don't know if he's talking about himself or the girl but you'll find out shortly.
