Product: The Two Jakes [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 5.0
Jack Nicholson should be directing films.
I love this film, it starts beautifully, maintains a great mood, has all it's parts in order, and I wonder how many of you ever noticed the distant car shot that looks likes it's driving up a womans body represented by the hills...It's always about that...no matter what the McGuffin is in a film. Jack is a great director, I seen all the films he directed, and he always struck me as a kind of Huston director...Fresh, and original. It brings out the best, and the artist in him. He is able to stretch beyond his physical limitations and create a total world. Maybe the Two Jakes title never grabbed people...This film has a very special place for me. Original sex scenes, great moods, fresh style...Jack you're a great talent...you work with the best people. Now if you're listening, Jack, see what you can do to get Ironweed on a region 1 DVD. ANd not the crummy release done in 2009 spring... If you see Tom Waits again, tell him Jimmy The Lock is a friend of mine..
