I've be...What interesting and unusual choices!<br /><br />I've been wanting to see The Wicker Man for years after catching a little of it once and being intrigued, so of course I've never seen it shown anywhere again. And I love Diane Cilento so I'll have to go on the hunt.<br /><br />I didn't hate I Still Know What You Did Last Summer because I knew what I was going to get walking into it. Don't get me wrong, it was stupid and forgettable but since I didn't expect anything else I took it for what it was. <br /><br />A friend warned me off Bug saying it was the worst thing she's ever seen, with the exception of Vinyan, and our tastes run along similar lines so I took her advice.<br /><br />Like that you went for a theme within the theme, always fun when the subject lends itself to that but I didn't go that route this week. So many choices, here's what I came up with.<br /><br />Bobby (2006)-Intermingling stories set in the Ambassador Hotel on June 4th and 5th 1968 as several groups prepare to attend the Democratic presidential primary rally at which Robert F. Kennedy will speak and will ultimately have a tragic outcome, his assassination. Filmed at the actual locations that events occurred just before the hotel was demolished.<br /><br />Evil Under the Sun (1982)-In an absolutely gorgeous island hotel in the Adriatic a group of wealthy people sun themselves and bitch at each other until one of them turns up murdered. Thank goodness Hercule Poirot is among the guests and can put the "little gray cells" to use solving the crime. Hugely enjoyable version of Agatha Christie's mystery with Peter Ustinov a perfect Poirot-clever, urbane, canny and sly. The entire cast seems to be having fun with a brilliant Diana Rigg and Maggie Smith making great sparring partners with dialog dipped in venom. Amazing costume design. <br /><br />Dear Heart (1964)-In New York for a postmaster's convention Geraldine Page, a single kind hearted postmistress meets traveling salesman Glenn Ford who is staying in the same hotel. Tired of the road he’s become engaged to a pushy woman more out of a longing to put down roots than passion. Now an unexpected spark ignites between the two strangers, what to do? Sweet, gentle comedy/drama of two lonely souls slowly realizing they are meant for each other. Great supporting cast includes Angela Lansbury and both the actresses, Alice Pearce and Sandra Gould that eventually played Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched. <br /><br />Honorable Mention-Week-End at the Waldorf (1945)-Glossy remake and relocation of Grand Hotel (which I purposely didn't chose because I was sure it would turn up somewhere but so far it hasn't) to New York's Waldorf-Astoria. Slick and well-acted by a star studded cast, Ginger Rogers, Lana Turner, Walter Pidgeon, Edward Arnold and Van Johnson among them, but missing both the grit and pathos of the original. <br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-44600742002275747002015-12-10T08:30:40.373-05:002015-12-10T08:30:40.373-05:00Hope you check out The Wicker Man.

I still haven't seen the original version of <i>The Wicker Man</i> though I'm sure it's not as unintentionally funny as its remake. <i>I Still Know What You Did Last Summer</i>.... one of the worst fucking films ever. I remembered that they said that the capital of Brazil was Rio de Janeiro. It's Brasillia. I was hoping they would kill J-Love because she just flat out sucks. She's been a cocktease for too long and I despise cockteases. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
