On 10/18/98, 11:28 PM -0500, Tonya =) said so nicely:
>I was wondering if anyone had some comments on this film?
I saw it and found it to be very profound and philosophical. Visually,
very stunning!! Special effects were wonderful. Very imaginative.
Thought Annabella Sciorra was wonderful. Williams was a little distant I
thought, but was very good. It's not a movie to see if you want to be
entertained and not think too much. It's very imaginative and deals with
issues of afterlife, what happens to souls when we die, things like that.
I disliked the ending the most. Won't spoil that, but it' didn't fit with
my religious teachings.
I found it enjoyable and worth seeing. To rate it I would give it a 6 out
of 10. It lost points for me for the ending.

Subject: Re: [MV] Dead Zone
I look for anything with staring Christopher Walken to be pretty darn good and
"The Dead Zone" was no exception.
Another good horror movie (although not a Steven King, but rather, King's
fore-bearer, HP Lovecraft) was "Re-animator". I don't know if this is still
available in video stores but if you happen to run across it, rent it. I doubt
you will be disappointed!

Subject: RE: Fw: Re: [MV] Running man & Misery
I actually really enjoyed the new mini-series version of "The Shining". It
was so much more true to the book (which I also enjoyed) than the movie
starring Jack Nicholson. Of course the one thing it didn't have was the
before mentioned Jack Nicholson which is really too bad. It should be out
on video soon. I recommend it. The most disappointing SK film was "The
Stand". I loved the book. It was my favorite by far, but when it came to
the movie, they could have done so much more. Casting Mollie Ringwald was
the biggest mistake (she's a natural redhead playing a brunette when in fact
the character was suppose to be blond--go figure), but there were many
others. The mini-series "It" was really bad also. Probably one of the
scariest of his books, the show didn't cause a single goosebump. "Apt
Pupil" looks really good. It's based on a Novella by King.

I'll tell you.. the more I have thought about it since posting, the more
I think of things I enjoyed about it, so I might not still feel that it
is sooo pathetic... Still don't rate it all that high,
but it did have some fun stuff in it... but it could've been better,
especially if they had kept the ending that King wrote for it....
But, I loved Richard Dawson in it. Just typical Schwarzeneaggar though..

What was the SK movie where the airplane takes off and can't land
somehow. When it finally does the airport has no people because the
plane is in some sort of parallel universe. Then these creatures chased
the plane up and down the runway as it tried to take off. Strange flick
but interesting.

That was The Langoliers. The novella appeared in his Four Past
Midnight collection. It's a about a plane goes through a weird
storm and then lands in an airport where the people discover that
they fell behind "time". There are no people, everything, the chairs,
the beer, all is slowly losing its "realness"
The theory is that time carries us along with it like a wave in the
ocean. The storm made the plane buck off the wave, and now
reality is starting to break down for the crew.
The Langoliers are the clean-up crew. They come behind time and
eat everything.
Confusing? Forget the movie. Not powerful enough imagry. Read
it.

What they had actually done was go back in time like a half hour....

Subject: [MV] A Perfect Murder (spoilers avoided)
Just watched A Perfect Murder yesterday. For those people in the States,
this may be old talk. But for those who haven't watched the movie since it
opened in June in the US (I know this cos I surfed the webpage), as well as
those who have watched the movie, here are some things I have to say about
it. Do tell me if you agree with them or not, that is if you feel like
doing so ;-)
For the theatrically inclined, it's a remake from the play "Dial M for
Murder", which is why you'd have to applaud the movie's efforts at making
it a large-scale big-budget movie. The cast is nice (to look at) and true
to form (except that it's not that dramatically demanding like Wall Street
or Sliding Doors for the two main leads of Michael Douglas [always have
been a fan of his] and Gwneth Paltrow [second favourite actress after
Pfeiffer]).
The plot was intelligent, sophisticated, yet not too demanding. Viggo
Mortensten was superb
for the role of artist/i'm-not-going-to-tell-you-lest-i-spoil-the-movie.
On a personal note, the movie was thrilling to watch as a law student,
particularly after having sat for a test on murder!! Had a good time
analysing whether that-somebody (don't want to spoil it again) would be
liable for murder.
There, my two-cents' worth... Till "What Rats Won't Do" (No prizes for
guessing why I want to watch it...
but in case you're wondering, it's about lawyers and it's a romantic
comedy), have a good time at the movies.

"One" was by Richard Bach (Isn't that weird: Richard Bachman -- Richard

Oh, cool, you read "One"? I always think that's weird when i find
people who has read the same book as I. Someone just randomly told me
about "One" so i read it...I thought the idea was interesting, but i
didn't really like the writing style.

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - "Practical Magic," stirred the weekend box
office cauldron, casting a $13.6 million spell according to Warner
Bros. estimates. "Bride of Chucky" was thrilled to be the box office
bridesmaid, with an $11.6 million gross. Disney's "Beloved," the
weekend's other major entry, debuted in fifth with $8.5 million.
"Practical Magic" was critically pilloried, but the film version of
the Alice Hoffman novel - starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman -
warded off commercial evil. To no one's surprise, exit polls revealed
women accounted for 68% of its audience and 62% of the crowd was
older than 25.

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Arau has signed a
deal to direct "To Catch a Falling Star," which is described as a
heartwarming story that employs a magical realism similar to his
"Like Water for Chocolate." The Universal project revolves around a
mysterious man with an extraordinary gift, who travels to a small,
desolate town and teaches the inhabitants about all aspects of love.
The screenplay was written by Michael Cohn, from his pitch which
Universal picked up last year for a mid-six figure option price. Cohn
previously rewrote and directed "Snow White in the Black Forest,"
which starred Sigourney Weaver.

WASHINGTON (Variety) - The major studios have agreed for the first
time to pay residuals to writers, actors and directors for films made
prior to 1960. The Motion Picture Assn. of America is offering a
residual package that covers 15,000 movies made prior to 1960. Under
the MPAA's plan those actors, writers and directors would be eligible
for residuals at today's rates. But the guilds are balking, saying
that pre-1960 television shows should also be included. The guilds
also object to the MPAA's proposal to limit the list of works
included in the agreement to films released after the mid-1930s - the
era when the guilds were founded.

Singer Gloria Estefan is finishing up a worldwide tour to
promote her latest album, "Gloria." But that hasn't stopped
the Latina diva from snagging her first dramatic feature
film role -- opposite Meryl Streep, no less. Variety reports
that Estefan will play Streep's friend and co-worker in
director Wes Craven's "50 Violins." Based on a true story,
the film focuses on Roberta Tzavaras (Streep), a single
mother who moves to East Harlem to teach the violin to
deprived kids. Despite numerous bureaucratic obstacles, her
pupils end up playing concerts in Carnegie Hall. Shooting
begins Oct. 26 in New York.

John Travolta received the annual Britannia Award from the
British Academy of Film and Television at a ceremony last
week in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Reporter says BAFTA LA
honored Travolta for "his extraordinary contribution to the
international entertainment industry." In turn, Travolta
complimented British actors for their contributions to the
film industry. "Like so many Americans, I was brought up on
a diet of great British films. So, for me, British films
always set the standard," said the star, who has himself
served up a number of very special performances in such
memorable films as "Saturday Night Fever," "Grease," "Urban
Cowboy" and "Pulp Fiction."

Let this be a lesson to anyone who dares label Joan Fontaine
a great actress. She's suing Rhino Home Video, claiming she
has been hurt and humiliated due to her inclusion in the
video "Great Actresses of the 20th Century." Never mind that
she won an Academy Award for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's
1941 film "Suspicion." Fontaine claims Rhino invaded her
privacy by showing movie clips of her without her
permission, saying it has also caused her a "loss of
reputation and her standing in the community." She is
seeking more than $25,000 in damages in the lawsuit, filed
in Los Angeles Superior Court.
