Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

D Rahul Raj Jsd It's Mr. Marc Senter's Birthday (July 18), so to honor him, I watched one of his films called The Lost, which is an adaptation of Master Jack Ketchum's novel of the same name. Directed by Chris Sivertson (Director of Brawler 2011, I Know Who Killed Me 2007), who wrote for the screen, as well. Produced by Lucky McKee (Director of May 2002, The Woman 2011) and his father, Mike McKee. Also featuring Shay Astar (Ernest Scared Stupid 1991), Robin Sydney (Evil Bong film series), Megan Henning (I Know Who Killed Me 2007), Alex Frost (Elephant 2003), Michael Bowen (Kill Bill film series), Katie Cassidy (Black X-Mas 2006), Richard Riehle (Red 2008), Jesse Hlubik (Violent Blue 2011), Erin Brown, aka Misty Mundae (Masters Of Horror - Sick Girl), Eddie Steeples (Would You Rather 2012), Justin Stone (Wicked Lake 2008), Legendary Queen Of Horror, Dee Wallace (The Howling 1981) and the Late Great Ed Lauter (Cujo 1983).It's about a crazy lunatic charismatic boy named Ray Pye (who puts crushed beer cans in his boots to make himself look taller), who takes power and control by killing two innocent girls for excitement. Four years later, he has never been caught but remains a suspect. What's coming next? A crime drama tale filled with the atmosphere of partying, drugs, sex, obsession, and rock and roll, with an extreme psychological berserk explosive disturbing intense climax!!! What is terrifying and horrifying is that this is based on a true story that stunned America.The first time I watched this was with my Dad back in 2012, and we were completely blown away by this movie. My Dad looked at me and said, "Play it again, son." And I was like, "Yeah." We watched it two times in a row, and that wasn't enough. We watched it so many times in a week, we lost count. Marc gave an unforgettable, twisted, mind blowing, ass kicking, out of this world performance, or, as I say, there are no words to describe his talent, he's just a super guy. He was phenomenal not only in this movie, but in all of his films that I have seen, like Wicked Lake, Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, Brawler, Red White and Blue, Starry Eyes - Film and Tales Of Halloween. The rest of his films are on my list, The Devil's Carnival is my next one to get.This was the first film of Marc's that my Dad and I saw, and we're huge fans of him. My Dad and I talked about planning to meet Marc Senter one day, but the sad part is, my Dad passed in 2013, and Marc was one of his top favorites actors. He told me Marc Senter belongs in the same league as Legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and I totally agree. If Marc is on board in any film, whether it's high or low budget, it doesn't matter, because he will give us a performance that will truly be satisfying and talked about. If you've never seen any films of Marc Senter, please do, and start with The Lost. He's guaranteed to be an Oscar Winner in the future!!!

trashgang This is a weird movie to review. It is filed under a serial killer horror. But it is so-called based on a true event, well, it isn't. It clocks in at almost 2 hours and for the horror geeks, nothing really happens until the end. But the movie is saved by the excellent acting.This flick tells the story of Ray Pye but I am also in the lives of serial killers and let me say, Ray never existed. The only thing that came close was the Charles Schmid case. Just like Ray here Schmid was a short man who wore cowboy boots stuffed with newspapers and flattened cans to make him appear taller. He used lip balm, pancake makeup and created an artificial mole on his cheek. Schmid was sentenced to 50 years in prison but was stabbed 47 times by two fellow prisoners on March 10, 1975. He lost an eye and a kidney and died 20 days later. Schmid strangled Gretchen Fritz and her sister Wendy, earlier he killed Alleen Rowe.Nothing of that is shown in this flick were we have a lot of talking. But I said it before it is really the excellent acting that saves this slow builder. Towards the end we really got into some messy shots when Ray goes berserk. I would mention Marc Senter (Ray Pye) and Robin Sydney (Katherine Wallace) who really did an excellent job. Marc we knew from Cabin Fever 2, Robin from Wicked Lake. But there is more to see, Ed Lauter is in it as is Michael Bowen both know for years in too many flicks to mention. Dee Wallace has a small role (ET, The Howling, Hill Have Eyes)and for the perverted Misty Mundae is also in this flick doing what she can do best, walking naked full frontal. Here she's in her pseudonym Erin Brown. Still funny that she's not shaved or trimmed at all and still is popular by so many. Nevertheless, the movie goes on and it is over before you know it but it do has some slow parts in it. Maybe if they could have cut it to 90 minutes it would have been more interesting. If you like a good suspense then this is for you, it contains a lot of nudity, and the last scene is maybe a bit offending for some. Gore 1/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

MBunge The Lost is a nice example of the difference between telling a story badly and telling a bad story. Except for one scene where writer/director Chris Sivertson apparently decided that in each individual shot the camera would be a different, randomly selected distance from the actors, he and his cast and crew did an okay job here. Unfortunately, their efforts are wasted on a tale that has nowhere to go and takes too long getting there.Ray Pye (Marc Senter) is a teenage malcontent who dresses like a singer from the do-wop group Sha-Na-Na and has two tagalongs, Jennifer and Tim (Shay Astar and Alex Frost), who are even more pathetic than he is. The film opens with Ray killing one girl in the woods and gravely wounding another, just for kicks. Four years later, the wounded girl finally dies in the hospital and Ray's fashion sense has improved to where he looks like a cross between John Travolta's Urban Cowboy and Elvis from his TV comeback special.After beginning with such savagery, the next hour of this movie is like watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager or some other basic cable teen angst drama. Ray is living and working at his mother's motel and still leading Jennifer and Tim around by their noses. There's one subplot where Ray is a lecherous jerk hitting on Sally (Megan Henning), a new maid at the motel who turns Ray down because she's secretly dating Ed (Ed Lauter), a 60 year old ex-detective who investigated Ray for the attack on the two girls. Ed's old partner Charlie (Michael Bown) is still on the force and there's another subplot about him rediscovering his interest in Ray as a suspect and rattling his cage. Yet another storyline has Ray playing the little, lost bad boy who finally finds the girl that "gets" him in the irresolute Katherine (Robin Sydney), who happens to have her own back story of parental dysfunction. There's also a bit about Ray being a drug dealer where Tim is cheating Ray out of some of the drugs.After that first hour, a few arbitrary plot points kick in and move the film toward a conclusion that features some good old ultra-violence and plenty of Marc Senter overacting. It all tries very hard to be shocking, but by the time it gets to Ray stabbing a pregnant woman in the belly off camera, you'll be rolling your eyes. None of it is poorly executed. It simply doesn't stand up to even the least bit of scrutiny.For starters, if you took out the brutality at the beginning and end, along with blurring a few naked chicks in the middle, The Lost would be a PG rated mish mash where Ray plays the heavy in the Peyton Placey relationship of Sally and Ed and he's also the clichéd rebel without a clue who falls for the girl from the rich family on the other side of town. The meat of this thing does not validate or support the viciousness at either end. You're left waiting around for something to follow up on the assault on the two girls and by the time it arrives, it's been so long that you not only don't care, you can't take it seriously.This movie also flounders on consistency. On one hand, it works hard with two different girls to establish Ray's sexual inadequacy. On the other hand, it shows him being a sex god who successfully beds and bangs a string of chicks. It establishes Katherine as being sort of a kindred spirit to Ray, then tries to set her up as the one we're supposed to root for in the last third of the flick. But if she's like Ray and Ray's a psycho, how exactly does that make her the hero?I don't blame these filmmakers for any of the problems with The Lost. Even when Marc Senter starts chewing the scenery at the end, it's clear he's doing it because that's what the story calls for. The only mistake made here was the decision to do a film adaptation of a Jack Ketchum novel that very few people have ever heard of because it isn't that good. If you're a fan of the book, you'll probably like this movie. However, I can't imagine anyone who watches The Lost will feel the need to seek out the source material.

Kashmirgrey Chris Sivertson's "The Lost" is a rattlesnake lying in wait. You sense the rattle, but don't fully realize the danger until its fangs are buried deep... and it's a long way back to civilization!Marc Senter IS the amoral sociopath Ray Pye who limps around due to the smashed cans he uses in his boots as lifts. He is a pathetic punk, a sinister sadist, and I guarantee by the end, you will loathe him. This is the intent, and Senter brings Ray Pye to life in an extraordinary performance.When Ray murders two young women while camping in the woods, he catapults his two dim-witted companions into a frenzy of complicit mayhem. While he puts the moves on one young lady after another, the law grows ever more relentless on his trail."The Lost" is a roller coaster from the moment the film begins with Ray coming face to face with a beautiful, unsuspecting nude sunbather until the ending credits roll. This is no dot-to-dot-I-know-what-will-happen-next. Sure, you think you know, but you're always wrong. It isn't a pleasant film to watch, but instead, a nasty and powerful moonshine that burns going down and burns coming out!
