A 20th Century Fox Retrospective Scrapbook: 2002
Det Jim McLeod replied to CinemaInternational's topic in General Discussions
One of my favorite 21st century films. Robin Williams gives his greatest dramatic performance as a creepy yet sympathetic loner obsessed with "perfect" family. This is a must to see in Blu Ray, as the colors in it are really striking. Excellent screenplay which explains our fascination with photographs. -
A 20th Century Fox Retrospective Scrapbook: 2000

It wasn't as good or funny as the original, but better than I expected. Brendan Fraser was very funny, some of the comic twists were clever, Hurley was not too bad. -
Extra daily programming (for fun)

Not many people point out that Sean Connery was one of his most frequent leading men. Primetime Lumet/Connery collaborations: 8:00PM The Hill- Connery was getting bored with Bond and Lumet gave him a meaty role in this military prison camp film. 10:15PM The Anderson Tapes- entertaining caper film with Dyan Cannon 2:15PM The Offence- Connery had returned to Bond in Diamonds Are Forever , in exchange he was allowed to star in this brutal film as a cop who beats a suspected child molester to death. 4:15PM Murder On The Orient Express- Connery was just one of a magnificent cast assembled by Lumet in this Agatha Christie adaptation. -
Why does Madonna succeed when so many have failed?

I always thought she was very talented. I loved many of her hit songs, "Like A Virgin", "Material Girl","Live To Tell" (featured in her then husband Sean Penn's movie "At Close Range"), "Papa Don't Preach" ( a great video with actor Danny Aiello), "True Blue". I enjoyed the movie "Dick Tracy" (1990) though I think she should stick to music rather than acting. -

Jon Voight had already made two of my favorite films by this time, "Midnight Cowboy" and "Deliverance". Once again the native New Yorker does an excellent Southern accent in this one. A funny, touching and realistic look at the challenges of being a teacher, I love this one. The Halloween sequence is one of the best parts. Hume Cronyn has some very funny moments as Voight's crotchety boss. -
A 20th Century Fox Retrospective Scrapbook: 1998

I saw this with low expectations, but it turned out to be hilarious, one of the funniest movies ever. Matt Dillon was surprisingly skillful at comic timing as the sleazy private eye. A lot of politically incorrect humor and gross out gags, not for the easily offended. Unfortunately it lead to several imitations, none of which measure up. -

One of my favorite westerns and 1962 is my favorite year in film. Randolph Scott retired after this and Joel McCrea would make only 3 more films before also throwing in the towel. Sam Peckinpah had his first hit film and has a great supporting cast. The violence is less bloody than his later films but some scenes are still pretty shocking. The villains are the dirtiest, nastiest bunch of creeps in westerns up to that time, played by James Drury, Warren Oates, John Anderson, LQ Jones and John Davis Chandler.
