Jean-Claude...Loving the inclusion of Double Impact! Jean-Claude's movies are uniformly terrible as any kind of cinematic experience but you know what you're going to get walking in, lots of action and at least one shot of his bare ass. This one is on form and a great pick. I've always meant to catch up with Stuck on You since I love both actors but its obvious dumbness has held me at bay, that can be fun sometimes so I'll make a point to catch it soon. I Know Who Killed Me's rep as being somewhere south of the lowest rung that Lohan could hit likewise kept me away. <br /><br />So many choice to pick from this week that it was hard to narrow so I picked one from each from different genres-one comedy, one musical, and one that has elements of both noir and horror. <br /><br />Big Business (1988)-Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin play two sets of twins, one born into wealth the other to a poor farm family in a town the moneyed couple are passing through. Complications set in when one of each of the pairs are unknowingly switched at birth. Years later things come to a head when they all converge on the Plaza Hotel at the same time. Silly bit of fluff that rests almost entirely on the talents of its two leading ladies but they do a great job of making each twin a distinct personality.<br /><br />The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967)-French musical co-starring real life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac as twin sisters Delphine and Solange who live in the small town of Rochefort but dream about traveling to Paris and finding romance. A singing and dance duo, Gene Kelly and George Chakiris blow into town and they find they don't have to leave home to find love. Charming and light as the air. Sadly Francoise Dorleac was killed in a car crash before this opened.<br /><br />Among the Living (1941)-Sharp, hard to categorize film has noirish tendencies as well as elements of old style horror with Albert Dekker excellent in the dual roles of very different twin brothers. An insane young man breaks free and creates havoc in a small town for which his identical twin, who thinks he died years before, is being blamed and pursued. Also in the cast are Susan Hayward on her way up and the ill-fated Frances Farmer most definitely on the downward slide. This was her second to last picture before descending into a decades long hell of mental illness and involuntary confinement. <br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-24156190348674512712015-07-30T07:46:25.666-04:002015-07-30T07:46:25.666-04:00I hated I Know Who Killed Me.

And the whole trick one dressing one twin in red, the other in blue, then gasp! She wears purple at the end. Come on.<br /><br />Stuck On You was stupid funny. I had a good time with it, though I haven't seen it since it was in theaters.

Come on, 2 Van Dammes for the price of one. <i>Stuck on You</i>.... that was OK though it was part of the Farrelly Brothers go into decline and they've never recovered from the atrocity that is <i>Shallow Hal</i>.<br /><br />And then there's <i>I Know Who Killed Me</i> which is horrible. Yes, it is an extremely bad film but quite entertaining in its badness as well as being a strange rip-off of sorts of Krzysztof Kieslowski's <i>The Double Life of Veronique</i>.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
