Naked Lunch


Naked Lunch (1991)
Seen on DVD 1st Oct 2008

almost vaguely based on a book by William S. Burroughs
all about DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS!!

STORY: 4/7
Bill Lee is an ordinary guy who works as an exterminator using the yellow stuff: bug dust. One day, his entire world turns around as he finds out that he is an agent working for interzone, or against them i'm not sure. It is his job to write reports on his typewriter / scary talking insect. Then there's the black stuff, and all kinds of other scary things.

* The scary bug typewriter *



ACTING: 5/7
Everyone does a GREAT job in this movie. Roy Scheider is an absolute pleasure to watch, and Julian Sands is totes cool too.

* Peter Wller as Bill Lee *


SCORE / SOUND: 3.5/7
I don't have any specific memories of the score to this movie, but i do remember being enthralled in it, which means the score must have been quite good.




OVERALL: 6.5/7

None of the specific aspectsof this movie were all that great, but as a whole it is pure entertainment, even if you don't quite know exactly what 's going on.
