(RE: "...Get a rope ! June 25 09)
Couldn't have said it better myself !! (...and I usually can !)
This film may be my all-time favorite for it's feeling and flewless realization of it's intent. The casting is inspired, the dialogue superlative, and the sets delightful.
Five stars , and then some !
Movie Review: Bought It For the Piano Music
Summary: 4 Stars
I just remembered a lot more piano music in it, but succeeded in replacing the movie that I had on VHS and couldn't play any longer.
I don't remember reading this Steinbeck like I do F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Strange Case of Benjamin Buttons.
I was a junior in high school. We read The Great Gatsby. We even read allowed some of it IN CLASS. Then we all wrote repoorts on it. It was a rousing success.
The our teacher insisted that we read something else by Fitzgerald. We all balked so the teacher assigned short stories by Fitzgerald by rows. Our row got Strange Case of Benjamin Buttons. After The Great Gatsby, I panned it saying stuff like, "I can't believe the same author wrote both? Are we really supposed to believe this?"
Then they come out with a movie about it.
Movie Review: after the fish leave
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally out on DVD, this is a sweet movie, a little too fond of itself, but sweet. If you go to Monterey now, you can barely move for the stores and the rest of the junk -- it was all better abandoned..... The original Cannery Row stories were ok -- Sweet Thursday, the sequel, is excruciating. You have to really be able to deal with the whore with the heart of gold stuff, Steinbeck at his worst.
However, the best thing about this movie by far is Debra Winger, who was at her most unbelievably, staggeringly, beautiful. She plays the role as an impossible innocent/know-it-all -- a complete male fantasy. But it doesn't matter, none of that matters. Generations yet unborn will scarcely believe that such a creature once walked upon the earth -- but thanks to the magic of film, here is the proof.
Summary of Cannery Row [VHS]
This 1982 effort at adapting John Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday and Cannery Row is barely watchable, salvaged only by the thoughtful performances of Nick Nolte as a marine biologist and Debra Winger as a drifter. David S. Ward (Down Periscope) made his directorial debut and thoroughly botched such essentials as pacing and verisimilitude. (The sets look as artificial as any of Francis Ford Coppolla's more egregious contrivances.) If you can stay with it, however, there are plenty of good acting moments to hang your hat on. --Tom KeoghLove Story Video
