DJ Hound Dog (2003)

This film was horrible... I really don't get it at all, why the raving about it?? what am I missing?? It's not like I'm an Action film fan or anything, I go Art-house over Hollywood 6 days outa 7, but this... Christ it was Garbage... The music was cool, yes, for now.. give it two years and it will sound terrible.. its just the nature of Dance music to do so... There was no acting and there was no plot.. Loser with no musical talent wants to be DJ, and somehow gets to sit down with a handful of A-list Dj's for beers and advice... There was no flow, just jumping from inexplicable encounter to inexplicable encounter, the Acting throughout was sub par for student work.. and the dialogue seemed to be all impromptuSPOILER- At one point our main character is auditioning for a DJ spot at a club (looks like the Space Terrace Ibiza, but might be anywhere..) he plays an Elvis record... no beats layed on top.., no remix J-XL style just an old Elvis record.. and rather than boot his lame ass onto the street the promoter tells him he'll give him another try, but he's gotta update his style????? WTFGarbage.. Avoid like the goddamn plague.

I was expecting your average, been done before, hyped-up movie, but I did enjoy Hey DJ. It was different and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the eclectic cast. Every actor in the movie (and DJ), played their part well. I particularly enjoyed the smaller parts...the casting director did a great job from every angle, and hence the title of my message "Way to go Johnson" I took the name of one of my favourite characters! I thought the role (played by Terry Camilleri) was done very well and couldn't have been casted better. A great addition to a truly exceptional cast. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants an unusually entertaining and far out evening! Great film, my favourite parts being the plot and acting, but I did enjoy the entire movie! SEE THIS MOVIE!

This movie blows my mind. I was expecting just your everyday movie about DJ's and the crazy party scene, but instead HEY DJ unfolds into an entertaining and loveable romantic comedy. It aptly chronicles the madness and mayhem that surround dating more than one woman at a time, also; there is an interesting dichotomy between the women themselves as well. I have briefly visited Miami once but after viewing HEY DJ at a test screening at Sundance it makes me want to move down there for the amazing nightlife, gorgeous scenery, and world class knock 'em dead beautiful women. The entire cast gives an epic performance. My favorite character is the female DJ Fysche. She seems a newcomer on the scene and her performance is breakthrough. I think we will be seeing more of this lovely lady on the big screen. Fysche is raw, and leaves us wanting more!Go Fysche!

Recently, I was lucky to be at the Sundance film festival for a German music and film magazine and came across this movie for test screening by chance - i really didn't expect too much, since the title made me think it was one of these rather ordinary Dj movies - HOWEVER, it turned out be a twisted story with relationchips between friends and lovers..and women who are lovers..lovers as friends.. Along with amazing, breathtaking shots of the Miami Club Culture! I really got the impression that everything was almost as 'real' as it can be in a movie and the actors totally knew the background of the local music and club scene of this 'tropical paradise'(compared to Germany) that seems to be filled with hot women. Everyone involved in the movie gave a very good performance, but the one who totally stood out of the crowd, and is the one to look out for, is main actor 'DJ Fysche'. She really was not only a highlight to watch with her extraordinary cool outfits, her fresh and independent look but last but not least with her great artistic performance in this movie! I am sure she will be getting more major movie roles after this outstanding performance - definitely worth to recommend. To make a long story short, go and watch the movie when you get the chance, since it really is a fresh and inspiring experience to do so!
