Jeff Goldbloom was perfect casting allow "The Fly" to... oh, never mind... just watch it!

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2013)

The pursuit of machines imitating flesh. More pointedly, I'd say, of the intangible need that mankind has for the human element of being. When we're sick, we don't want to be seen at our weakest, but our need for compassion, camaraderie and flesh overcome our egos and shows our humanity. "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. Perhaps, she'll die." Jeff Goldblum was the perfect actor to combine this human element of the film with the David Cronenberg box office draw of science fiction special effects that on it's own makes for an interesting and very creepy experience. How many times can a female lead in this genre look frightened, revolted, curious and yet still rather fetching? Here, at least one more time.
