  James Mason was in the title role???? Now, did he play the center of the

 Although "Rope" was about two college men who killed another 'just to
 see if they could get away with it', it was not about the Leopold/Loeb
 killing.

 "Rope" IS a good movie, though.  It all takes place in the two college
 students' apartment and Hitchcock filmed it so that it looks like
 one long take.  If you watch, you'll see that he moves the camera to
 view something black to end each take.

Anjani,
   Glad to hear you liked The Mosquito Coast.  It's not a very well known movie,
which is surprising considering HS is the star.  I tried to rent a while back
and they did not have it.  I tried three BIG stores like RKO, Blcokbuster and
another one; forgot the name.  I had to buy it.  It's one of my favorites.
  The score is even better.  I have it on cd and I listen to it a least 2 or 3
times a day.  It's by Maurice Jarre.
   What does everybody else think?  I could go on praising this movie forever.

    Just remembered: HEAVY METAL, the animated fantasy, includes a trial
    scene of the future in a remote space station. Also in the
    science-fiction department, there is the opening scene of SUPERMAN.
    And now for something completely different, wasn't there some trial
    scene in IRRECONCILIABLE DIFFERENCES?

    And there is that movie, which I believe is relatively recent, about a
    US driver who kills a young boy in a hit-and-run in Canada. The story
    goes about the fight of the mother to bring him to justice. I can't
    remember the title or the name of any of the actors but I can tell you
    this: the driver is played by the actor who was the ambitious dark-hair
    thick eyebrows assistant DA in BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES.

I did not consider Sharon Stone's character to be a lesbian nor even a
bisexual.  I thought the character was an amoral omnivore and so I drew
no generalizations.  When her lover tried to run down Michael Douglas,
I thought the lover was reacting as anyone of any sexual orientation
might react to someone who was threatening to steal their love object.
I did not see _Basic Instinct_ as being lesbian bashing at all.  However,
I didn't see it as being a particularly good mystery either.

As John suggested, maybe we've dragged this T&L thing

the correct expression is.
BTW, I really got a kick out of She-Devil,
and I thought it showed Meryl Streep's "comedic potential"
far better than more recent snorers like Defending Your
Life or the latest thing she's in with Bruce Willis and
Goldie Hawn.  (I haven't actually seen either of these
latter two, but some friends I tend to agree with hated
them.)

Let's bring up some more movies, ok?
I think I already mentioned Barton Fink.  Since that didn't
spawn any commentary, I'm also curious about Prelude to
a Kiss and other currently screening movies.  (I tend to
wait for everything to come out on video, but I like to
hear about current movies all the same.)
What about Enchanted April or Best Intentions (I may have
the title wrong. I mean the one about Ingmar Bergman's
parents.)?  Any info on Sneakers, the new Robert Redford
movie? I may see this one just to decipher the title,
a response which the makers intended to provoke, I'm sure.

In reply to my request to get information on Roberto Rossellini's film
"Descartes," Michael suggested the film I might be seeking is really BLAISE
PASCAL.  Could be, but the picture I am looking at, cut out and sent to me by
a friend, with no title but it looks like an art magazine, shows a dapper
figure of Descartes surrounded by an audience of Dutch doctors, all staring
down at dissected corpse in what appears to be an ampitheater for surgery
instruction..  Below the picture is the caption Roberto Rossellini,
DESCARTES, 1974.  The back of the picture is some text which discusses THE
MEDICI.  So is there a Rossellini film calleed DESCARTES, or am I looking at
a still from PASCAL or even THE MEDICI?  Thanks in advance for any help.

John,

I mentioned quite awhile ago that I was VERY
disappointed in the movie, I just didn't
articulate it as well as you did.  Obviously
Cameron's touch was sorely missing.

I also concur with the idea that 3 kept tearing
away anything and everything we loved about the
previous movie.  Hicks, Newt, Ripley's nurturant
side, Ripley's not-easy style with men, exciting
dimensions in plot; such as, nuclear destruction if
hard core weapons were fired, the character of Burke,
is the android good or bad.

And if that weren't enough, I couldn't physically see
Aliens3.  Did he shoot it in a well, a closet, or what?

I just saw Basic Instinct last week and I didn't see it as a lesbian
murder film either.  The emphasis was on "abnormal psychology," in my opinion.

I think the film could have portrayed lesbians in a more balanced light.
As is, it just titilliates straight men's fantasies.  I don't think the
film addressed "the lesbian spectator" at all.  Stone was constantly
grapping Roxy in a performative way--i.e. for Michael Douglas to see (in
order to get him jealous?  turned  out? both?)

I thought it was a tightly crafted story.  Having read the Cinemaa-L
mail on the film a few months back--I  wasn't surprised by  the ending.

I did expect to laugh, remembering some metioning its campy moments.  Yes,
it was campy, but it was also better than I expected.

_Rope_ was an Alfred Hitchcock film.  Not one of his best, but inter-ste

rich young men killing a friend to see what it would be like.  I
thought when I saw it recently on the Bravo Channel, that it must
have originally been a play, as the entire movie takes place in one
room.  Anyone know if that was the case?

Hi to all Cinema-lers

About the movie of aliens 3, i have to tell you, i was very
disappointed at the end.(and at the begining, in the middle,etc.)
I didn't like the movie at all. Sepecialy at the end.
I think the movie was completely irrelevant, and if you compared
it to the other two movies i think you will be disappointed too.
Well any more comments/flames.

This may have been mentioned before, but Orson Scott Card wrote the book
that went along with The Abyss and, in an afterword, he described the writing
process compared to the movie-making process.  I have seen the movie twice
(once on video) and have also read the book and I thought the book was
more thorough in its plot development and character development, but the
movie had some great effects that added to my enjoyment of the book.

I saw Light Sleeper (dir.Paul Schrader) last night.
Willem Dafoe's excellent performance probably saves the
movie. What is odd about the movie is it's treatment of drug
trafficking as normal white-collar employment. What does
everyone else think ?

Wasn't this also the principle of VistaVision?
