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.

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! Posted by The Mouse Avenger (Member # 4406) on :

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 Posted by phatpants (Member # 5784) on :
