"Okay, round two for today.The Awful Truth wasn't terrible, nor was it good. Irene Dunne ("It Grows on Trees") and Cary Grant ("Walk Don't Run") have good chemistry and Grant is gorgeous as always, but I just didn't feel the repartee. The two star as a married couple who have suspicions about each other and so decide to get a divorce. Then they interfere into each other's new romantic attempts. It's a screwball comedy. And I've shown before that I don't always "get" this genre. And since it's 89% fresh here on RT, it probably is just me.Insatiable is an After Dark film and it represents on of the worst of the bunch. A really lame guy witnesses a hot vampire chick killing a homeless man. He becomes obsessed with her and attempts to capture her and teach her to feel. Boring. Poorly acted. Ludicrous plot. Please avoid.The Raven is a strange Roger Corman ("Searchers 2.0") film about warring wizards, starring Vincent Price ("Edward Scissorhands"). It's a B-movie in all its glory. There's ... "

"Five Easy Pieces (1970)Note: Once again, a surprise plot development is revealed in this review. Five Easy Pieces is best remembered for two things: as the movie that proved that Jack Nicholson was a great actor, and as a transition of New Hollywood from 60's counterculture films to more restrained efforts. It's lost much of its uniqueness now, but it's still a good movie with a great performance. Nicholson stars as an eccentric and somewhat mean-spirited guy named Bobby Dupree. Bobby works as an oil worker in a field in either Oregon or northern California and lives in a trailer park with his girlfrien "

It Gets Better With Every Viewing

"This is the first of six Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson collaborations, and according to Rafelson the first of an informal trilogy (Five Easy Pieces, The King Of Marvin Gardens and Blood And Wine) where Nicholson plays, in sequence, son, brother and father. I've watched this several times now and it's easy to see why Nicholson became such a big star - his acting is top notch here and something new in Nicholson's performance shines through with each viewing. At the time of it's release, it spoke to a confused, angry generation that didn't seem to fit in anywhere - and it couldn't be more relevant today. Nicholson can turn from raging to sullen to amiable at the drop of a hat, and you're with him every second (see the classic 'diner scene' for a concise example). His Bobby Dupea character is a tragic figure on an emotional island - you see him struggle with the Blue Collar mentality and wrestle with high-brow pomposity. Quite a sad film, I must sa ... "

"Often there comes a time when a bad (or inept, or failed) movie will unwittingly tip its hand. It could be a piece of dialogue that encapsulates a central flaw, or it might be a device that functions as damage control. In Gypsy 83, it’s a chapter when Gypsy and Clive, en route to a singing competition in New York, spend an evening with a more or less retired singer, Bambi LeBleau (Karen Black). She is congenial, down-to-earth, unperturbed and dishonest only in the sense that she is trying to put a brave face on adversity. Black has been acting for at least thirty years now (Five Easy Pieces, Nashville, Easy Rider) and her screen presence and skill are so effortless that they too often go unnoticed. Her performance appears to infect Sara Rue (Gypsy) and Kett Turton (Clive) who seem completely different in this sequence, and outshines them in the rest of the film. She’s invested in the role, but experienced enough to trust her intuitions. When they decide to leave Bambi b ... "

"1. Almost Famous (2000) - I know a lot of people who dismiss this film, but It's one of my favorites. I truly captures the spirit of the era. 2. Nashville (1975) - An epic, sprawling masterpiece. One of Altman's finest achievements. 3. This Is Spinal Tap (1984) - What more should be said. Fantastic music & possible the funniest movies of all time.4. High Fidelity (2000) - Frears & company perfectly capture the spirit of the book. Made the whole Top 5 list process even more relevant.5. A Hard Day's Night (1964) - Obviously the songs are amazing, but this is one of the most fun films you could ever see.Runners Up:The Red ShoesFive Easy Pieces Amadeus "
