I was thinking the other day about all the movies I loved watching from years ago. It made me think of the category here called Sundays Past. The movie that kept entering my mind was Death Becomes Her. What a hoot!!
Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are flawless in this movie. And seeing as they wish to erase their physical flaws in the movie, it’s quite a fitting interpretation of the pair.
I loved this movie on so many levels. The comedy was brilliant, the acting superb….of course with those two. 
Also, the effects were astonishing for that time period. I mean, one of these ladies is walking around with a giant hole in the middle of their body! And I do mean GIANT.
I have probably watched this movie 30 times and I laugh every time. For me, late 80′s movies just instantly transport me back to my youth and make me smile. I have another one in mind as well…but I will save that for next time cuz it’s a fantastic 80′s teen flick and one I would love to see remade. Since we are in the age of remakes and all.
Have you seen Death Becomes Her and what did you think of it??
Okay, so you remember from one of my last posts, I was going to have a weekend soire with one of my friends who began to tire of movies. Still can’t get over that one! We were going to have a Sundance festival in my house with my Sundance on demand channel and I was going to reinvigorate their love for movies. Debacle!
Why a debacle?! I have real issues with Time Warner Cable. Seriously, if I pay for on demand, why won’t it work on demand?! It works when they want it to work. We tried to call up several movies yesterday to watch and every single time, we got the folowing message: blah blah blah not available, try again later.
How many times did we try? At least 50!! I just want to watch a movie for crying out loud. Ridiculous. I pay, therfore I want. Is that such a bad thing???? I think not.
So, I guess we will be rescheduling this Sundance film festival in my house for another day. Until then, my friend is still boycotting movies. Damn, TWC!
I have no words to describe the torment of emotions that this movie made me feel, an otherwise mundane story, The Bridges of Madison County tells us of a house wife that falls in love with a photographer while her husband and children are away. While it sounds a bit promiscuous it isn’t that way at all, it’s a beautiful love story that completely wrecks your heart in the end.
The performances are outstanding, this movie took Meryl Streep career to an entirely different level, and I believe it was also the first movie where you saw Clint Eastwood deliver a truly amazing performance outside of his comfort zone.
The movie brings you close to the characters in a way that you feel almost comfortable with Francesca’s effectuation with Robert as if you know it’s wrong but at the same time you want it to go on.
I remember watching this movie in a very creative moment of my life, and having left the theater completely mesmerized at the astonishing performances of the actors. I remember taking a look at the cast and to my disbelief seeing Elisabeth Shue the Karate Kig girl cast in a leading role and wondering what the heck was Carrie Frazier (Casting Director) thinking?!? It turned out I was wrong, and I in this case I am glad it turned out that way, she reprized the role to perfection.
For me, this is one of those examples where subliminal acting with creative freedom creates an unexpected work of art, and ff someone told me how Nicolas Cage’s career would progress in the future I would never believe it after that performance.
But the movie goes beyond individual roles; everything seemed to work so well, from the intimate cinematography to all the screenplay details. Sting’s music set the tone to beautifully depressing story, that while never trying to impress you or scar you with explicit emotional moments, it does so without really showing off.
What if you woke up and suddenly there were no consequences, you could do anything you ever wanted, tell your boss what you thought of him, your mother in law what you really thought about her cooking? Sounds good doesn’t it? But what if you always woke up in the same day doesn’t sound that good.
That’s what the Groundhog Day is all about, a reporter set on a boring assignment in a remote location in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and get’s stuck in a loop in time waking up repeatedly in the same day, forced to report an important local event that consists in waiting for a ferret..or was it a rat?!? to wake up and predict how long the winter will last. Anyway, after realizing that being stuck in time has its advantages, he starts having a blast until he realizes that eternity isn’t that appealing when everything you do is pointless.
I must say this is one of my all-time greats; it’s just one of those movies that can be hilarious at times but have a lot of heart and purpose.
I used to hate Bill Murray before I saw this movie, but after seeing he completely won me over, what an amazing performance, made you hate him, adore him, laugh at and with him all in the space of an hour!
We are opening a new segment on our Blog that we will call “Sunday Past” where we will be revisiting “old” classic movies that were either considered great at the time, or left some kind of mark, even if negative.
So to open the hostilities lets go back to a movie that turned into a bit of a cult for sales man all over the world. Glengarry Glen Ross is the story of the struggling Sales team in a real-estate office in Chicago. The movie is famous for the legendary Blake “motivational” speech famously labeled by “Coffee is for Closers
