- Michael,
- I haven't seen Fire Walk With Me but intend to, now that you're
- raving mad about it. Lynch is a great director who is slowly sinking
- into self-parody. Wild At Heart was all quirk and no substance. It made
- me laugh a lot but to this day, I'm not sure if it was funny or just
- laughable. It was like watching a bad Elvis Impersonation contest. Am I
- supposed to laugh or feel sorry?
- As for The Last of the Mohicans being a Rambo movie for those who
- look down on Rambo movies, well, I was quite amused by the critical
- plaudits and box office success this movie has gotten. Take away the
- Britishness(which for some spells class), the lush photography, and the
- historical dressing, what you have is Daniel Day-Lewis tossing his long
- hair, baring his chest, spitting out corny dialogue, running around in
- graceful slow motion, a rifle in each hand, blasting away at the enemy -
- an 18th century Rambo. It also doesn't help that director Michael Mann
- directs it like a spinoff of Miami Vice - call it Mohawk Vice!
