VHS Movie Reviews of Priceless Beauty
Movie Review: Deserving a widescreen DVD release
Summary: 4 Stars
A quite beautiful piece of cinema. Wishing for a remastered, anamorphic widescreen release on DVD.Movie Review: Chris isn't the problem !!
Summary: 3 Stars
Hey now everybody just listen up!! Chris wasn't the let-down this film, He's an excellent actor !! It was just the storyline that needed some work doing to itMovie Review: Good Actor Not Okay Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Chris is a very good actor but this was not the role from him. To say that he is a poor actor is not fair if you have seen Greystoke of Highlander. If he was a poor actor he would not make as many movies. They sell a lot overseas. This role was just okay not great. He is much better in suspense and action.Movie Review: If only Christopher Lambert wasn't in it.
Summary: 3 Stars
Christopher Lambert is the worst actor I have ever seen. He is completly unnatural in movies, and worst yet he can't even muster movie chemistry with his then wife Diane Lane. She always proves to give wonderful performances, but even she couldn't make poor ol' Chris relax. The plot could have been better, the movie is kind of blah,but with only one real actor (Lane) not much can be expected.Movie Review: OLD OLD story, re-hashed. Good try for director Finch.
Summary: 2 Stars
Lambert (At the time anyway)needed to learn to relax and be himself in front of the camera. Lane on the other hand a consumate professwional did a crediclb ejob but couldn't rise above the material. Best performances were by J.C. Quinn(Whom we don't see enough of on the silver screen) and another actor whose name I can't recall except that his first name was Joaquin. Also in the credits you neglected to mention the son of Anthony quinn (Francesco). Finch(A multi-talented man) had a VERY limited budget to work with, a difficult fantasy to try & pull off and he also tried pushing the envelope a little using some blue screen work that I don't think he ever used. Plus, shooting in Rome is a little difficult. Everything has to be translated (And we know how much is lost when that happens). Carpenters and other workers are hammering and yelling when you are on a sound stage shooting a scene(They figure, what the hell, it's only going to be dubbed anyway). Now as much as I usually dread a 14 or 15 hour shoot back here in the good ole' USA in Italy(France also) they only shoot an 8 hour day, plus when you go through the catering truk for lunch they serve you a bottle of red wine with your lunch. Who the hll feels like working very hard after that. So, even though I wasn't knocked out by the film, having been involved with it from it's(almost) inception when we were going to shoot it in Mexico for a much smaller budget with Judd Nelson I must give Charles Finch (who happens to be the son of the late-great actor Peter Finch) a bit of praise for pulling this movie off, raising the money, getting it shot, edited and released. My hats off to him, it was a hard sell project to begin with. I assure you we will in the future see some wonderful films come out of him. Thak you very much-------J.C.
