marilyn manson is the real star.......2004-09-13

Marilyn Manson steals the show in this film about 80's club life.
I saw the film first and then read the book by James St.James.
Culkin is too natural in his role as Alig, it is really scary.
The soundtrack is funky too with classic tracks such as Stacey Q's 'Two of Hearts' (with Seth Green int he film doing the campest dance i have ever seen)

convincing.......2004-08-17

this films worth seeing if only for the most convincing seth green as a drag queen.. pure genius.

Till death do they party..........2004-04-30

'Party Monster' is a refreshing account of Michael Alig's life. MichaelAlig (Macaulay Culkin) is a smalltown boy that moves to New York in thehope of being even more 'fabulous'. Here he meets James St. James (SethGreen) who teaches him how to 'make it' in the drag gay hip scene. Aliginstantly becomes the talk of the town and the number one promoter inclubland with his wild parties and his outrageous behaviour, leaving St.James in 2nd place. With drugs, techno, a giant rat and flamboyantclothing, everything gets out of hand when murder comes Alig's way. Butcan he get away with it?
Culkin and Green, as you have never seen thembefore, give superb performances throughout, with Marilyn Manson alsohaving a great film debut.
This strange but true story of the life of Michael Alig is vibrant andever so powerful. I would definately recommend it to all.

A must see film. Seth Green at his best. Party monster is a very funny,true story with a tragic end.If you are a fan of Marilyn Manson you willalso enjoy watching him play drag queen Christina.
I hope you enjoy thefilm as much as I did. If you do enjoy it you must buy James st James'book which the film is based on. Michael Alig (the party monster) is anunmissable character, whose work in the New York club scene will never beforgotten.
My favourite film, make it yours too.

a must see and a difinet cult classic FABULOUS.......2004-04-14

this is a definet must see. the dissorientating photogrophy and jumpy plot realy inhance the drugged up and dissorientated frame of mind that Michael Alig must have been in. staring a dashing Seth Green along with the FABULOUS Mcualy Quilkin. the glamourous costumes and hillarius one liners make the film both fantastical and funny.
the only bad thing about the film realy was that after reading up on the true story of michael alig it does seem that the writers did fall a bit to in love with his charactor and did not quite convay the true narcissism and screwd upness of his true charactor.
but yer an absolutely amazing film a big thumbs up and a snazy 5 stars for you dear sirs FABLOUS

Close to perfect..........2007-05-15

John Waters has been an inspiration, a guide in good (bad) taste and a personal hero since I was 13. 24 years later nothing has changed and this DVD box-set was a joy. It's like being shot in the head by your favourite member of the Manson Family or joining a sickening cult who relentlessly coerce you into getting a life.

I'm biased of course. I think John Water's movies should be obligatory by law. However I do have some questions...like where the hell is Multiple Maniacs and why has Serial Mom been omitted from the list?

What you DO get are classics like Pink Flamingos in which the protagonists struggle to prove themselves to be the filthiest people alive, while Desperate Living has the greatest Backwards Day scene ever filmed while hippies blasted on LSD shove babies into refrigerators. Also you get Female Trouble which is simply Divine's unquestionable masterpiece, while Pecker is just sublime and counts as the most loving tribute to a camera yet put on celluloid. All in all this cannot be missed but where the hell have Cry Baby and all the others got to?

The most series overlook is Multiple Maniacs and I'm still stuck without David Lochary as Mr David. I only have my VHS copy and the tape is wearing out. Please release it on a shiny plastic disk before I do something drastic and saw off my own face.

As Water's commented in Crackpot...much of what counted as showmanship in cinema is now dead. Thank god there is then a record of a man possessed of that vision who (unlike the infamous Jim Rose who once threatened to kill me when I compared his freak show with Water's visionary work) has an eye on the truly depraved. As always that's where the action is and there is no competing with it. A whole truckload of Quentin Tarantino's with their boring, tame, saleable zeitgeist crap have missed the bus. Perhaps you'll be on it with them heading to Retardsville instead of moving here?

I bought this with a Date With John Waters on CD. Great double pick. Still I'm missing the armpit licking and Divine's blasphemous unholy vision.

Water's really is The Pope Of Trash and this box-set will at least partially prove it. It makes me want to hit the banned-list and invite over a few nuns.

2000 out of 10.
