No wonder, considering the original material the writers had to work with.
Mark Twain wrote a wonderful essay entitled "The Literary Offenses of James

I guess we'll soon find out.  It eases my mind to know that John McTiernan

No offense but your friend probibly likes New Kids on the Block. The score

This would be impossible since it was shot in amorphic pannivision. (?)
The aspect ratio of the movie was ~2.35:1. I look at this very closely
ever since I bought that damn laser disc player. This movie would have 
dramatic panning in certain scenes when transfered to video.

Poor use of dramatic tension, maybe the love triangle with Nathaniel and Cora
and the British guy (?) was lax at best. Still for me not a big deal. Other-

he does so here.

If you have the same feelings toward movies as your friend and value his
opinion than flip a coin. I would see it again for the setting and visuals.
The surround sound is excellent.

Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1992 00:55:22 GMT

I saw the move "Singles" last week, and I liked it ... as
entertainment. I though the cosmetic surgery CAD (Computer
Aided Design) station was a blast. I really liked the main
characters keeping their word on the "water date". I thought the
rock club scenes really hit home with it being *impossible* to
have a discussion, and the characters being just a little bit
out of it in the sea of obviously just a tad over 21 crowd.

All that aside, though, I thought the group of characters were an
interesting mix, --that wasn't exploited at all. In Chicago, the
waitress&musician crowd and the suit&tie crowd are like oil and water.
It's the same in Washington D.C. and New York. Yet, both groups come
from very similar middle class backgrounds (to myopicly focus on the
class depicted in the movie). Some of the rift is a simple matter of
money. ie, Fonda's and Dillon's characters shouldn't have been
living in the "nice" part of town. But, part of the rift is a matter
of choice and what people want out of life. Given that the characters
were deciding what they were going to do with their lives, it would
it would have been interesting to see what went into those choices.

Also, given that they'd been living with these choices
for a few years, they could have explored the pros and cons of each.
The working characters should have obviously had less free time and
more constraints on thier lifestyle than
their "non-working" friends. The "non-working" friends should have
been obviously poorer in very real ways (like not having their own
roommate-less upscale apartments).

The working characters had the life
style one would expect, which is the usual payback for a "professional"
job. But, Dillon was talentless and Fonda was adrift. This is not
usually the case. It would have been better to have given either Fonda or
Dillon some real (though not necessarily marketable) talent.

Hey folks.  I saw "Glengarry Glen Ross" last night and I thought it was
stupendous.  The acting and the cast were incredible (Pacino, Lemmon,
Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Jonathan Pryce), and the feel and the style of the film
were perfect.  A very New York-ish film.

I think this was the best that I've seen of David Mamet, although I admit
I haven't seen much of his work (House of Games, Homicide; I read 
"Sexual Perversity in Chicago" but I liked "About Last Night..." more.  Sorry,
I'm a hopeless romantic.).  It was very Mamet-esque, as far as I can tell
(watch for the great back and forth dialogue between Harris and Arkin).
Lemmon and Pacino were superb.  It was great to see a really good modern
screen *drama*.  It's been a while.

Dost thou agree?

Innocent Blood: Brief Observations:

Last night, my SO and I decided to see this movie after a good
review from my father. We walked in a few minutes late (~5-10)
right when Robert Loggia (can't remember his character's name) 
was roughing up someone.  After a while, I thought we were in 
the wrong movie, until Marie ran into the cop (can't remember 
his character's name, either).

The movie was funny, scarry, and overall great except for a few
items that didn't agree with the vampire genre:  
 - Marie saw her reflection in mirrors
 - Mobster vampires died when shot in the center of the head or
   had their heads snapped
 - Loggia didn't die when he was set on fire

Other things that bothered me were:
 - the eyes/the devilish voice/monster type characteristics

Questions:
What did I miss during the first few minutes??  Did Marie explain
how she got to be vampire/monster??  How come Loggia was amazingly
stronger when he became a monster???  
Wasn't the actress who played Marie, the same in La Femme Nikita??

Although I'm disappointed Disney is not putting out B&tB on LD in its final

around $60 (VHS set costs $99) if you own a LD player.  Buy the Work In

Phar-Mor when it comes out.  If you want, you can buy the soundtrack on disc
for $10 for a grand total of $65.

around a kid who is watching one of Arnold's movies (an all-too common

I am not sure how reliable this information is, but I have heard from
more than one source (they said it was in some film magazine...) that
the next Bond film will be set in Hong Kong and will deal with the
reclaiming of Hong Kong by China in 1997.  Dalton will play Bond.
The story goes that everything is set to begin shooting. The protracted
lawsuit is the only bottleneck.

Again, this is only Nth-hand information (N > 1)....
