Species (1995)
Terrible
I won't say much else to describe this but I deserve it for watching a modern Hollywood flick. Two good things, I saw her naked, really only half way, great body, and I got this crap free. Everything else was terrible. Biggest zero was Madsen but Gandhi was close second. Why he delivered first line like Gandhi and second line like some trailer hick and the rest I wouldn't know. But I'm sure his check didn't bother him. Ben, I won't be buying Gandhi after this mess, and was planning to. You garner much disrespect from me...I don't care how a man needs to make his living but do it adequately please. You didn't but at least you made Gandhi. Madsen, I don't what he ever did but I know his cocky ass has been around cause Americans love cockiness...On that remark you just know any kind of gayness could kick his butt. The cocky ones are always the first to go, and have the smallest peckers. I can be as straight as I want. When you make 5 million(theoretically) for THAT(this movie metaphor with bugger from Scarface who was going on 60 minutes)and don't deserve it, well, I can write anything I want, as long as it's accurate. Lost an hour of my life to this rubbish including this write-up, I can't imagine when I'll bust out this DVD again. I guess when I want to see her naked again?
Night Gallery: They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar/The Last Laurel (1971)
Riley
The best episode on the "Gallery" offering on DVD. I believe award winning also. Would make a marvelous 80 minute film with the right cast. I would dare say an older Brad Pitt in the lead. Robert Montgomery for my money, although deceased :(. I think previous mentioned "nostalgic" and that is the key plot line. Perhaps if I may say "black nostalgia" in this case. Something grown-ups can all relate to in days gone by that shall never return. For some of us, we may think of our family when younger or friends, and desperately miss those "old days" when times seemed more innocent in an acutely different culture. I think Rod Serling made this very personal for him which gave it's production a golden touch, if you will. I believe he saved it as the show's last episode that first season as to perhaps leave a lasting impression. Well Mr. Serling, over 35 years later, it still does!
The Bishop's Wife (1947)
Shameless
Probably the first old film I have ever shut off in the middle of. Mind you, I really like older ones and buy them even if they are lousy but bolster an actor I appreciate. There is one minor, minor, story line that remains a serious error in this movie to me. And I have googled and searched and there is no one out there that has ever noticed this error which is quite puzzling. My point is not to highlight that I'm more perceptive or sensitive or whatever but I really am confounded as to why this film isn't offensive to others in the way they treat the bishop's daughter, DEBBIE. She is completely abandoned by her parent's emotionally in this film to the point where she'll say hello to her father and he won't reply to the poor child. Honestly I only watched half of this film to confirm if this little girl was actually their daughter and after she said, "Hi daddy", to him I knew she was. That should tell you how much they neglected her as you can only wonder up to that point if she's living there without her real parents but rather just being watched for the moment by these other people. Maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't notice this oversight if I were younger and not a father(parent) but I don't think so. The script certainly needed more work as this cruel neglect is absolutely atrocious.
