VHS Movie Reviews of Tempest (1982) [VHS]
Movie Review: Old time favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband had a movie that was 'quirky, that he would always quote.The Tempest...I can not believe I foundit on DVD for hi birthday! It arrived id great condition,was he ever suprised!Movie Review: Four Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of my favorite films. I like it because it's really different from what you might expect. There are aspects of it that leave you scratching your head. It's funny, entertaining, surprising and even shocking. It's a fairly unusual title, so if you're interested in something a little "off the beaten track" as it were, this might be it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the story moves a little too slowly for my taste. If you're an action junky - forget it. If you're in it for a deep story - forget it. After watching this, you'll recall it like it was a dream you had more than a movie you saw.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when it came out at the theaters, many years ago. I forgot how funny and clever it is.Movie Review: Timeless story
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this film when I was 16, and I love it still, 26 years later! Cassavetes owes a lot to Shakespeare of course, whose stories are always timeless, but he and the actors, Susan Sarandon and Molly Ringwald in the beginning of their careers, create such a warm mood in the film. Movie Review: Cloying
Summary: 1 Stars
This has not aged well in its last 25 years. There is no heat whatsoever between the aging John Cassavetes and the young Susan Sarandon. It makes no sense for her instant attraction to him. Likewise, the debut of Molly Ringwald is beyond saccharinely cloying. Bad, bad acting, even if she was only a young teen. Raul Julia saves the day a bit as the wacky goatherd, but it's still a stereotyped role. Not worth the bother, and it's too long, besides.
Summary of Tempest (1982) [VHS]
A burnt-out architect (the peerlessly unhinged John Cassavetes) tries to get away from it all on a seemingly idyllic Greek isle in this extremely loose-limbed adaptation of Shakespeare's play. This pleasantly rambling, exquisitely lit portrayal of the middle-aged-crazies is rather broad even by writer-director Paul Mazursky's estimable standards, but Cassavetes's wholly unpredictable performance keeps the considerable preciousness from ever getting too thick. (He's aided by a uniformly wonderful cast, including Gena Rowlands, Susan Sarandon, Molly Ringwald, and especially Raul Julia as a wacked-out lech of a goatherd.) Not recommended for people trying to get out of reading the source material (for that, try the sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet), but patient viewers will find plenty of rewards amid the schmaltz. --Andrew WrightMidlife Crises Video
