Corey Haim: Me, Myself and I (1989)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A different way of telling a story

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Blistering performances.

"Me, Myself and I" is a 36-minute documentary (?) from 1989, so this one is almost 30 years old and its age shows through the fact that the protagonist in here, Corey Haim, died already several years ago a most untimely death that may or may not have been connected to his longtime drug abuse. He is the prime example of a successful actor during his teenage years or childhood whose career went south pretty quickly when he was growing into an adult. Anyway, in here he is around the age of 18 and this was written and directed by Haim's fellow actor Brooke McCarter, also dead now sadly. It basically was supposed to show us how Haim spends his free time making sports like tennis or just driving around in his car for fun. We get to meet some of his friends and see and hear interview footage with him on many occasions from start to finish. Sure we will never know how much of what we saw in here was authentic and how much was staged, but that's also not too important I guess as regardless of how real it all was, it felt completely uninteresting and I have no idea why they thought people would want to watch this. Very full of himself if you ask me. Sorry Corey, I hope you rest in peace and all, but this one was just a complete no-go. I read that Haim was dating Alyssa Milano around the time when this was made and shame she isn't included I think. Like her and she was gorgeous back then, still is today I guess. Anyway, overall these slightly under 40 minutes were a big amateurish mess. Skip them please.

Around the late eighties news about Corey Haim's drug use was starting to circulate, and teen girls across the US were worried he was on his way to getting into serious trouble. Corey Haim: Me, Myself and I is Corey's attempt to take you in the scripted life of the actor himself. It's existence is questionable, unnecessary, and utterly ridiculous.This is a clearly scripted video diary with Haim's face to face with the camera interactions coming off very awkward, and suggesting he was under the influence while filming. Plus at the very end of the video we see the camera crew pack up. It doesn't even try to hide the fact that its fake.Haim was clearly forced to do this. He seems unfocused half of the show, and was probably forced to do this for his fans. The thing that annoyed me was when Haim would be interviewed, and be talking about his feelings on "kissing" and "sports" the interview would be interrupted by an unnecessary clip of Haim lounging on a raft, shirtless relaxing. The scenes were dragged on forever, and just all in all ridiculous.Corey Haim: Me, Myself & I is nearly unwatchable, and a sad end to the career of Haim himself. Sure he went on to do numerous films in the nineties, mostly humble Direct-to-VHS/DVD. But those were just forgettable, unrecognized films that were very cheaply made and now sold for pennies on Amazon. It's tragic to see Haim spiral to nothing after making a name for himself in the eighties, but false video diaries aren't the way to keep fans.Starring: Corey Haim. Directed by: William L Boyd and Brooke McCarter.

My teacher showed us this in class (Theatre of the Avant-Garde class) for no reason he just thought it was really funny. And it is really really funny, in a super pathetic way. Does Corey Haim really play tennis, hockey and baseball every day like his documentary claims he does? The best part is that he tries to show how important he is by showing how many crew members follow him around. It's obvious they're just laughing at him the entire time. (Asian guy snapping photos kills me!)And what was with him thinking he could compose music?? How many times can he say 'like' in one sentence!Where can I get this film I need to show it to my friends.

I don't know exactly what this movie is supposed to be, but its truly a horrible thing to watch. Its supposed to be a look into the life of Corey Haim, but the crew tells him exactly what to do and say. And yes, they actually show the crew doing this.
