SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Leofwine_draca MAD COWGIRL is a waste of time movie in the career of director Gregory Hatanaka, the man best known for making another waste of time movie, the infamous SAMURAI COP 2. This one's a would-be psychological thriller about a girl dying of a brain disorder who begins to lose touch with reality and descends into a frightening surreal world.The problems with this film are manifest from the start. The camera-work is amateurish and the plot is devoid of interest, so there's a lot of talk and not much else. The main actress gives a worthwhile performance but the production values are so poor that this mess is near unwatchable. Poor old Walter Koenig turns up for the hammiest cameo performance ever. The best thing I got out of it was a handful of references to old kung fu cinema; otherwise this is sorry-looking and painful to sit through.
bringpieces I thought that was a very extreme movie and it does take a couple of times to get through a lot of the nonsense, overall it was a fresh take on killers or being killed. This is a low budget movie but with a big dollar bang. Sarah Lassez the female lead plays the killer and the victim, really how often do you see that. Give it a watch before you make up your mind. It is raunchy over the top blood, gore and blasphemy. If you like sex,violence,comedy and drama well you will get here. The story will keep you going what the hell but meanwhile there is a lot of eye candy to be had. Plus you will be surprised at some of the actors that are in the movie.
ThrownMuse Therese, a young health inspector, breaks off her marriage and indulges herself in a variety of obsessions to take her mind off her loneliness. When she's not inspecting restaurants and butcher shops, she is erotically masticating large amounts of red meat, religiously watching a cheesy Kung-Fu show, engaging in casual sex, or having and affair with her favorite skeezy televangelist. Her compulsions spin out of control and her downward spiral turns lethal when she discovers that her meat-packing brother may have given her meat that may have been infected with mad cow disease.Whoa. Where to begin with this one?! First off, Sarah Lassez is fantastic in the lead role. She displays incredible range. She's believable when she's breaking down and hilarious when she's imitating her favorite TV Kung Fu heroine. I don't really want to know how much red meat she consumed during the shooting...but let's just say she really knows how to take meat in her mouth. The supporting cast also fares well. Cult favorite James Duvall plays Therese's brother who may or may not have a crush on big sis. Devon Odessa (Sharon from My So Called Life!) is fun as her religious best friend with problems of her own. The film is uniquely shot (think "CrazyBird KatiePerson" but with a bit more talent behind the camera...and in the editing room) and the content is thoroughly repulsive.As fascinating as it is to watch, some of the messages are muddled. It is obvious director Gregory Hatanaka is trying to draw a parallel between red meat and sex, but it's never really clear why, except to make the viewer feel icky. Perhaps I need to re-read Carol Adams' The Sexual Politics of Meat? There are some other weird situations (for example, her doctor speaks Sinhala and she responds in English) that make the film a bit difficult to get through. Still, it is worth seeing for its performances and originality. I really haven't seen anything like this out there. And if you're thinking about becoming vegetarian but are too, uh, chicken to make the transition, definitely check this one out. It'll make it easier.
staceyedwards0 This movie gets a 9 from me for the bizarre, unusual concepts portrayed throughout this film. It is one of the most unusual films I have had the opportunity to see. The plot is twisted and very entertaining. The lead actress played the part exceptionally well, and the part itself seemed to be extremely challenging. She had so many difficult scenes that were completely outrageous, and she never hesitated once to perform even the most unusual, frightening, and horrific scenes that most actors would never have the guts/balls to do.The crowd left the theater, excited, confused, and somewhat horrified. This is a true indie film that I hope people will get the opportunity to see.
