ROCKY
(dir: John G. Avildsen, PG) - Michelle says, "There are a few
original dudes in Hollywood. Sly Stallone is one of them. Not only did
he write this, the best sports movie ever (like he wrote and directed
almost all of the other five films in the series), but he also
pretended to be a really stupid loser in it, so convincingly that you
know him best as that guy who bellows 'Adrian!' like a wounded gorilla
whenever he’s not running around Philadelphia, training with some
screaming grey-top leprechaun named Mickey. Whatever, you’ll be out
of your seat, yelling 'Rocky! Rocky!' in the last scene, just like
everyone else who watches this. Because the Italian Stallion is never
better than he is here. Unless he’s fighting that terrifying
Russian, Dolph Lundgren, in ROCKY IV. Or that time when he fights Mr.
T in ROCKY III. Or in OVER THE TOP, when he plays a trucker arm
wrestler. Anyway, if you really don’t want to watch this, just go to
Philly and watch all the idiots running up the stairs of the art
museum and jumping up and down when they get to the top."

THE
BLUE BIRD (dir:
George Cukor, G) - Greg says, "George Cukor made a lot of great
movies, including HOLIDAY, THE PHILADEPHIA STORY and BORN YESTERDAY.
But he saved the best for his last film, THE BLUE BIRD. More stars
than the night sky populate this historic co-production between The
Soviet Union and The United States. Liz Taylor, Jane Fonda, Ava
Gardner and Cicely Tyson are all part of the magic. As are the
Leningrad Kirov Ballet and a bunch of pigeons spray-painted blue.
Aly and I watch this so much it’s ridiculous." |

OBSESSION (dir:
Brian De Palma, PG) - Greg says, "Yeah, it goes a little over
the edge with its VERTIGO references. At some points it feels like a
remake. And yeah, Cliff Robertson might have been asleep during some
of his scenes. But what other legitimate criticism can you make of
Brian De Palma's first masterpiece? It's got a brilliantly eerie
score by Hitchcock's man Bernard Herrmann. The way Vilmos Zsigmond
turns his lens on Florence and New Orleans should have won him the
Oscar he got two years later for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. A youngish John
Lithgow oozes sinister southern charm. And the fragile, haunted
Genevieve Bujold is the movie's heart, even as the plot grows
increasingly outlandish. Almost nobody would agree with me that this
is better than VERTIGO, nor would I expect it, but open minded
viewers will recognize its righteousness." |
