Pacific Heights (1990) - John Schlesinger
Horror film for yuppies; what do I mean yuppies? Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine are the leads; yeah, you get it. Surprisingly entertaining, however, thanks mostly to a fantastic villainous performance by Michael Keaton as the sociopathic Carter Hayes and to a surprising final act that comes this close to truly subverting the cliches. Loads of fun.
Q&A (1990) - Sidney Lumet
There isn't quite the urgency of 12 Angry Men or Dog Day Afternoon, but this is a great film. Timothy Hutton's brand new DA is assigned to an easy case; Irish cop Mike Brannigan, assayed by Nick Nolte, has just killed a Hispanic drug dealer in self defense. Slowly Hutton comes to realize it wasn't self defense at all . . . killer cast. Armand Assante is surprisingly great and Luis Guzman is hilarious in his supporting role. Jenny Lumet, the director's daughter, is a hole in the screen as the love interest, but thankfully she's not in much of the film. And mad props to Nick Nolte for his terrifying performance as the overweight, mustachioed bigot Brannigan. A fantastic job from an actor I've never really cared for. Some of his scenes are incredibly menacing; others show us a deep unhappiness and self-loathing buried under the bluster. Great villainous performance for sure.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

Without having ever felt sorry for itself.

Wall*E for the 4th time! Easily the best movie of the Summer for me. The first movie since Spider-Man that I can't stop going to see. I've become addicted!

I, unfortunately, watched Happily Ever After. My friend who owns it said again and again how awful and painful it was to watch. For some reason, I needed to see it for myself to believe it. She wasn't lying.

Happily Ever After of Happily Never After? I find a record of Happily Ever After but that was a 1993 movie. There is more recent animated Dreamswork cartoon named Happily Never After. I could easily believe how awful that animated film was.

Watched Don't Mess with the Zohan late last night... there were only two of us in the theater. Don't recommend this to everyone.. if you are a Sandler fan you will like it, I know I laughed and laughed through out...
Watching Dan in Real life on DVD... I really like Steve Carrel and enjoy this movie, saw it twice in the theater, real fun to see this again after watching Get Smart the other day.

Oh no, it was definitely Happily Ever After. The whole storyline was set after the end of Disney's Snow White. Instead of the seven dwarves, though, the sidekicks were their female cousins. The plot, the characters, and the animation were just bad. There just isn't anything really good I can find with that movie.

NOTES ON A SCANDAL 2nd time
The acting in this film by Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench is breathtaking. Two of the best actresses working today at the top of their form.
A sad little tale about how loneliness and the depth of it's despair can be underestimated in it's ability to drive a person to do and say terrible things.
Lots of things about this movie make audiences uncomfortable, and understandably so, the scenes with the boy and Cate are repulsive, she's an adult, she should know better.
But the movie's insight into human beings is laser sharp. As mean of a monster as Judi Dench's character is, she somehow made me feel compassion for her. Dench's narration, which I would guess is taken directly from the novel, is as cynical, sarcastic and acidic as one can imagine.

I just saw Hancock. Very disappointingly. I hate movies that builds strength on profanity. This movie has every curse word in the book. I can tell you for a fact that I can't count the number of times they used the word A**h*** on two hands. I don't think they went a whole five minutes without a curse word. Everytime someone called him, a**h*** he got ticked off and kicked that persons butt. They made that as a weakness of his just like Marty McFly's weakness when he was called 'chicken'. So the whole story was built on profanity.
Sorry, I would not label this a family movie. It should have been rated R with all that profanity. Keep your young kids away from this one, or they may just repeat some of those colorful words at your next dinner.

I haven't heard many positive things about this movie either, which is took bad. A superhero movie about a Grade A Jerk seems like it should be a really funny movie.
