The Secret of My Success - 9/10
Posted by The Mouse Avenger (Member # 4406) on :
The remake of Cat People (1982):
Overall...I'd give it 8.5 out of 10. The stuff below explains why, if anyone's interested:
Acting & casting: Excellent (Nastassia Kinski, Malcolm McDowell, Ruby Dee, & John Heard played the most wonderful performances.) Cinematography: Superb Action: Very, very good Gory scenes: Made me feel just a bit sick (but otherwise, I could handle it) S*x / nudity: The final lovemaking scenes were rather sweet (if you consider the relationship between the heroine & her sweetheart Oliver), but the incest elements were, of course, bad with a capital B (cat curses just don't justify it). I'll admit that the scenes with Tessa Richards & the prostitute took it a wee bit far, & I personally think that some of the nudity borders along the line of "semi-gratuitous". But then again, it's probably just me... ^^;;
Overall, not a bad remake, IMO, & a lot better than I thought it would be. And if anyone doesn't like it, well, all I can say is that I've seen way worse.

Anyway, lately it was The Man with One Red Shoe (8/10).

Trick or Treat 9/10
The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because some of the acting is really bad! Still, a kick-as$ film and worth a look just to see Ozzy Osbourne playing a clean-cut TV evangelist! Sweet!

Hulk Hogan? You must be thinking of Mr. Nanny, which is a comedy flick from 1993 starring The Hulkster.
Mr. Mom is a 1983 comedy classic starring Michael Keaton. Our beloved John Hughes wrote the screenplay.

Fletch
I enjoyed it ok... but might have enjoyed it more if I wasnt so tired... Oh and for some reason (I dont know if its my tv or my dvd player) but whenever I watch most DVDs, the sound effects and music are BLARING, but the dialogue is a whisper. So in order to hear what they are saying I have to crank the sound, and then as soon as there is an effect or music it BLARES...
this is a problem since I have to wait till my kids are asleep to watch movies. DOH. DOH. Oh well one day they will be older and they can just watch them with me
