Yeah it's not good. I think there is just possibly the off chance that DENNIS HOPPER was on "the drugs" when he did this. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I think it's safe to say THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 was definitely NOT Dennis Hopper's finest moment on screen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Williams essentially got an award for his career rather than for that specific performance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bethluvsfilms Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tom Cruise's performance in BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. He was also nominated that year alongside Day-Lewis, Freeman, Branagh and Williams. Speaking for myself, he isn't one of my favorite actors, he was good in that, but not great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kingrat Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 For Wednesday daytime: The Long Night is an outstanding remake of the French classic Le jour se leve. Fans of Henry Fonda, Barbara Bel Geddes, Vincent Price, Ann Dvorak and/or Elisha Cook, Jr. should not miss it. The doom-laden French story (which has superb performances by Jean Gabin, Arletty, and Pierre Brasseur) is updated to post-war America, with Fonda as a returning veteran. Outstanding noir cinematography by Sol Polito. The remake builds up the character of the innocent young woman played by Barbara Bel Geddes, and helps us understand why she might be susceptible to the creepy magician played by Vincent Price. The Long Night is one of my favorites in the film noir genre, and also one of my favorite Henry Fonda performances. Thank goodness one of the posters here from a dozen years back recommended it because I had never heard of it--even Ann Dvorak's biographer could find almost no information about it--and there is a stupid review of the film in Leonard Maltin's guide which is evidently copied from a remark in a book about RKO. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Friday, July 10 When the schedule was originally announced this was my pick at 10:30 a.m. So This Is Paris (1926). Ernst Lubitsch silent with Myrna Loy in a small part. Unfortunately that has been scratched. 3:30 a.m. Cherry 2000 (1998). With Melanie Griffith. I didn’t think this was half bad when I saw it years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Not exactly an admirer of Melanie Griffith (although I did like her in WORKING GIRL and PACIFIC HEIGHTS) but maybe I will check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
LornaHansonForbes Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 SORRY FOR THE COPY-PASTE, strange choices for a directed by JOHN FORD marathon tomorrow- I've seen parts of THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT- a 1953 remake of JUDGE PRIEST and I am wondering if the original also has some problematic Black stereotypes. Also I'll be honest and say WILL ROGERS gets on my nerves and- get mad at me if you will- but there is something about him I do not like. 12:00 PM B/W - 96 m Flesh (1932) Synopsis: A simple-minded wrestler falls for a woman with a dark secret.Dir: John Ford Cast: Wallace Beery , Karen Morley , Ricardo Cortez . 2:00 PM B/W - 80 m Judge Priest (1934) Synopsis: A Southern judge confounds civic leaders with his laid-back approach to his job.Dir: John Ford Cast: Will Rogers , Tom Brown , Anita Louise .
