Yeah, Broken Arrow was Woo on autopilot, as if he didn't give a shit about what was happening on screen. Face/Off is much, much better.

That, and Travolta's "Lies, mistrust, mixed messages - this is turning into a real marriage" are my favorite lines of the film.

You can go big and still be subtle, though. Case in point in this movie; the scene where Sean Archer wakes up after surgery looking at himself with Castor Troy's face for the first time. At first, Cage starts laughing hysterically, as if he can't believe this insane idea work, but then he starts crying and screaming,…

I dunno; "More Than This" is one of my favorite songs ever, but I thought it didn't quite suit the scene here. Maybe I need to watch it again.

I'm among those who loved it; I had issues with my father growing up, and this plugged into that. In addition to the other movies A.A. mentioned at the end, here are other movies that played that year:

I recently read Stolen Legacy, which argues Greek philosophers stole their ideas from Egyptian philosophers; it makes good points, but the way it argues them doesn't make sense.

I have it on hold at the library, and after finally seeing (and loving) The Handmaiden, I can't wait to read it.

Having just read The Trial, I'd say both of them are very good, but The Quiet American is probably easier to get into.

I have dim memories of seeing other Cousteau films before this when I was a child, but I hardly remember them. I still want to see it, though these days, it'd be as much to see something Malle was involved with, as he's just as good a documentary filmmaker (Phantom India, And the Pursuit of Happiness) as he is a…

I like Rudolph a lot, but hoo boy, is Breakfast of Champions a complete botch of a movie.

I will concede the Aerosmith version of "Come Together" is very good.

Oh God, I had completely blocked that out. You're right, that is awful.

Maybe the final cut does make a difference, but to me, this is yet another cinematic crime against the music of Cole Porter, making the music sound smug instead of charming (see also Night and Day, Love's Labor's Lost, and De-Lovely).

Sadly, no.

When Glitter first came out on DVD, the manager of the video store where I was working at the time offered all the employees a free candy bar to anyone who could get a customer to rent the movie based on its merits. None of us could do it.

It's a bad movie, but Jagger is actually pretty decent in it.

A guy I used to work with described Can't Stop the Music in this way; if it was a piece of gum stuck on the street, he'd burn the shoe that stepped on it. That's pretty accurate. Worst musical that came out in the 70's/early 80's (and we're talking a time period of At Long Last Love, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club…

Other films in competition that year (aside from the ones A.A. Dowd mentioned):

And one of the things that makes Jones' performance so great is he never telegraphs Gerard's growing belief Kimble is probably innocent. He just shows you his intelligence and his doggedness, so you know he's going to get there eventually. Maybe the closes he comes is in the scene where Moore's character tells Gerard…

We should also remember her performance as Ben Stiller's adoptive mother in Flirting with Disaster. Originally, David O. Russell wanted her and Dick Van Dyke to play the parts Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda played in the movie, and Moore told him while she definitely would have paid good money to see that, as an actress,…
