Today in Movie History...

I just happened to be browsing on Yahoo and came upon their "On This Day in Movie History..." and found it quite intriguing. On today August 26th back in 1994 Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers" was released. The film would stars Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis as psychopathic lovers whose exploits become glorified by the media. I remember watching this film and truly tripping out (probably because I was 14 at the time), it was like a modern-day "Bonnie and Clyde" but to another level!!

This flick is the prime example of a media and political satire circus on drugs (no pun intended). It's graphic but it gives you what you need in a movie. You will love it and hate it all at the same time! The brilliant writing skills of Quentin Tarantino and the directing skills of Oliver Stone just make this a roller coaster ride of a film. 

To this day I still watch this movie and think, "a messed up childhood can truly mess you up for life!!"

Check out the opening scene...


Just wild!!
