 A Classic Film - A Sorry DVD July 31, 2008
This review applies to both the 2000 and 2002 releases. It really infuriates me when soundtracks are altered, especially here, this being a musical (loose word there). I've seen both releases and they're the same. Take one of the early tunes, 'Over at the Frankenstein Place', it has an echo to it, making the music itself sound signifcantly different. I own the soundtrack and the VHS tape and they're the originals. I'm amazed that no one has commented on this before. So, if you want the original tracks, buy the VHS format.
 Rocky Horror Treat April 10, 2008
This is without a doubt one of the best movies ever. The whole thing is so outlandish that's it great. Tim Curry steals the movie with his over the top transvestite portrayal. The music is great and so entertaining. Can watch over and over again.
Best Musical Ever Made March 18, 2008
There has never been another musical or movie like the Rocky Horror Picture show, not even the semi-sequel -- SHOCK TREATMENT -- comes close. The first time you watch this movie you think it's the oddest, dumbest thing you've ever seen. However, with each subsequent viewing, the brillance of it becomes apparent. Campy, Sci-Fi send up? Absolutely. Social commentary? You bet. Pure fun? Without a doubt. I must confess that I have seen this film over 100 times and used to "play" the character of Rocky in front of the screen on Friday and Saturday nights back in the early 80s, but that only deepened my admiration for one of the most creative films ever made. I can't wait to introduce my teenage nieces and nephews to this cult classic.
The Queen Mother of All Cult Movies - and the Best! February 18, 2008

Telling the story of two all-American kids who are about to get married and their night of terror "over at the Frankenstein Place". In her first major feature film, Susan Sarandon proves she is a talented comedienne playing Janet, while Tim Curry dazzles as "sweet transvestite" Doctor Frank N. Furter, a role which he originated on Broadway. While being a worldwide flop on release, it soon started showing in cinemas and art houses at midnight, attracting a huge cult following. It is an excellent satire of old B-movies and is highly entertaining. It contains a brilliant variety of songs, including the most famous: 'The Time Warp', 'Sweet Tranvestite' and 'Science Fiction, Double Feature'. While maybe not appealing to the most conservative of movie-goers, this is pure smut, kinkiness, campness, fun and provides lots of laughs. It will have you humming those songs for weeks, and maybe even have you buying a pair of suspenders and stiletto heels and running off to your local cinema to lap up all the Transylvanian atmosphere. Watch at all costs!
I can't tell if this is more funny or scary, Tim Curry as a transexual cross-dresser!!! January 23, 2008

For me to rate this movie anyone and everyone who reads this needs to keep in mind that I hate, HATE, musicals (I would rather have my teeth drilled with an old rusty spoon, than watch movies like Greese, Oklahoma or A Sound of Music!), but this movie was so funny and so downright WEIRD! It is so odd and funny, so goofy and weird, and if you like Susan Sarandon like I do, seeing her in her undies is great, and seeing Tim Curry (who is a great actor!!) dressed as a weird, vampire alien monster murderer woman--ish thing is so darn funny, watching this movie for that alone is worth it!!! I would compare this to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp and it is worth seeing at least once just for the humor and weirdness!
