Slow Times

Thu Oct 22, 2009, 3:06 PM
Fall... just a shoot here and there. Watching Movies.

Took the time to go back and watch some late 80's / early 90's movies that I missed and never watched because the task always seemed a bit tedious.

Oliver Stone's "JFK" - wow, what a jumbled mess of a movie that ignored the obvious and wasted at least a dozen great performances. Loved John Candy's bit the best, made me wish he had a few more serious roles in his career.

"Full Metal Jacket" - I generally dislike VW flicks but this one was all right. I think of the movie as good in two of three parts - the first part was whenever Vincent D'Onofrio (as pvt. Pyle) was on the screen, one of the truly great unappreciated actors of our time and just a gut-wrenching performance here. A reminder of what REALLY would have happened to Forrest Gump or "Bubba" in the USMC. The 2nd part was bleh - and the 3rd part where we meet Animal Mother (played by Adam Baldwin of Firefly and Chuck) was also very cool and a bit haunting. Typical Kubrick movie... brilliant in the beginning and the end, drags in the middle.

"Dying Young" - Vincent D'Onofrio again with Julia Roberts. A movie I had always heard was "terrible" but was actually pretty decent and worthy of a look, if only just to remind yourself how easy it would be to fall in love with Ms. Roberts. ;)
