Pacific Heights II: More Specific Heights

Jun 05, 2007 12:19

People are quick to complain that there are no new ideas in Hollywood. They churn out sequel after sequel, exhaust and reinvent old tv shows and their sequels, but I find this hard to be the case. Think of all the movies out there that contain worlds dying to be revisited. Last night, I watched Pacific Heights for the first time (don't ask me how I missed it, I couldn't tell you). It has Matthew Modine, Michael Keaton (Batman and Multiplicity fame), and Melanie Griffith and a cat. Michael Keaton gets beat up for sleeping with this nasty lady, and then he moves into an apartment bought by the young couple of MODINE and BASSINGER. These two turn on the heat, while Keaton turns into a weirdo who lies and breaks in and moves a few items and invites this weird seattle grunge rocker into his place. He doesn't pay any money, but he gets to stay there anyway, because of all the red tape. In the end, the place is trashed, and well, these pipes are sticking up, and he falls onto them and he tries to kill melanie griffith with a nail gun. But in Pacific Heigts II: it is a what-if. What if he did kill Melanie Griffith with a nail gun, and then matthew moding rents an apartment to get away, and keaton shows up again, but this time he has been beat up by his crazy ex-girlfriend. Modine takes pity on the man and he nurses him back to health. Kim Bassinger appears in a flashback scene, and they realize they were both in love with the same women. In memory of her, they decide to take on one last caper. They travel to shiloh, where a great big reanactment of the civil war is about to take place. They hack into the mainframe, and the busses that were supposed to bring the civil war enthusiasts were waylaid to washington d.c., and the busses that arrive on the battlefield are filled with hopeful million man marchers. in the midst of the chaos, no one notices that michael keaton and matthew modine have altered the constitution to once and for all guarantee the inalienability of squatter's rights. elected representatives to the united nations, the two folk heroes establish themselves as masters of love 38 miles south of the US Mexico border. There they build the world's tallest building and meet Deedee Pfeiffer, a lost girl ready to throw it all away. In her lies the secret behind Pacific Heights III: The Lost Heights.
