Malkovich really knocks it out of the park in his role, most of the cast does in fact, but it's not an easy movie to watch all the same. Rated CCSW for ChaCha Shouldn't Watch. We've agreed that she won't be watching anything but Rankin & Bass productions for the time being.

    Strange structure. It's a film that starts and stops and starts over again.

    Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward, and other 1980s badasses play the team of Mercury astronauts preparing to be the first men in space, and Sam Shepherd plays Chuck Yeager, the supersonic test-pilot and baddest cowboy of them all, left behind by history.

    OK, let's look at anachronisms. "Where's the beef?" as a catchphrase debuted and peaked in 1984, and it had already jumped the shark when Walter Mondale used it against Ronald Reagan in 1984. Any college-aged ski-resort partying white dude who'd wear it on a tee-shirt in 1986 would have been one arch ironisst. Candy-colored hairband glam metal lite hadn't yet really asserted itself until 1987. College party dudes would have been rockin' out to U2, Peter Gabriel, and Robert Palmer --- and maybe a little Timbuk 3. If they had a dark side, they were rocking to the Cult, the Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Rap had transitioned from DMC's ascendency to the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill. If they were stupid party animals, how does that music not make an appearance? Meanwhile --- big error here --- the coming of Kid 'n' Play and the introduction of the oversized stovepipe fade was still two years off. Still enjoyed it more than other eighties flashbacks.

    Well, nothing about their website banner suggests anyting untoward is going on, nosir!

    This film was demographically aimed right between my eyes, so how come I identified mostly with the nephew? What's most eighties about this was the contained-environment aspect of it. Why would Poison play a ski resort? Why would SPIN --- still new, counter-cultural and college-oriented at the time --- dispatch a reporter to cover Poison playing at a ski resort? Because the producers got a ski resort and all action must definitively take place there, that's why. Very eighties. Add a half a star for William Zabka content.

    I'll supbract a few EDB* points from Rodriguez and drop him two slots, but the averaging will have to do the rest. 30 Wright * * * 29 Pagan * * * 28 Santana 27 Dickey 26 Davis 25 Reyes 24 Rodriguez * * * 23 Bay * * * 22 Takahashi 21 Pelfey 20 Acosta 19 Francoeur 18 PFeliciano 17 Niese 16 Beltran 15 Dessens 14 Thole 13 Barajas 12 Parnell * * * 11 Gee 10 Tejada 9 Castillo 8 Carter 7 Valdes * * * 6 Blanco 5 Mejia 4 Duda 3 Misch 2 Evans 1 Hernandez *Enormous Douche Bag

    Jordany Valdespin, coming off his successful AFL campaign, was Rule V eligiible. So said Toby Hyde, and the Mets musta been reading, because BAM! they added him to the 40-man roster.

    I'm pretty sure that Jim Carrey's life is still pretty good.
  11. Edgy MD
    1) Yes. 2) He was.
  12. Edgy MD
    Both good.

    I think this sub-forum is at it's best reviewing afterthought films like this, a few years old and prematurely forgotten.
  14. Edgy MD
    Mixed review by some guy watching the AFL. Valdespin showed great tools, but little in the way of how to play. He turned on a Jeremy Jeffress 99 MPH fastball like it wasn't even an issue and showed good range and throwing arm on several plays. But he is inconsistent from play-to-play, showing a lack of concentration. He also swings at nearly everything and has poor hitting mechanics.
  15. Edgy MD
    I am incorrect. While "Wargames" did not appear in Wargames, footage from the latter is featured in the video from the former. In fact, that's all there is, unless this is a latter-day creation. about "Romancing the Stone," however.

    RealityChuck wrote: I assume you don't mean songs like "Key Largo," which was written about the movie. No, because clearly that film wasn't named after the song. Valley Girl, on the other hand, was clearly inspired by the song of the same name, but featured the song not.

    You're not alone.

    Yeah, good one. The credits thank The B-52's* at the end. The Zevon case is illustrative. There are situations where filmmakers don't like a commissioned song and drop it from the cut and the musician releases it anyhow, and even produces a video without footage from the film, which is the big advantage of such songs. Two I can recall are "Romancing the Stone" (in which only a few instrumental bars of Eddie Grant's failed title song appear, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash's "Wargames," which ended up on the cutting room floor of the film that it was commissioned for. *In 2008, the band long known as The B-52's dropped the apostrophe and now refer to themselves as The B-52s.

    The Dish

    I thougth I arlready polled this baby. Seemed like the sort of film that gets and extra star due to the national pride folks take to it. Sweet and decent, though.
  21. Edgy MD
    Oh, grow up.
  22. Edgy MD
    I can't. I have a rape scene-averse date. What can I say?
  23. Edgy MD
    This has a rape scene in the opening. Are they going to keep flashing back on it?
  24. Edgy MD
    Do I? I just guess it shook out that way because of partial seasons by the Mets top two starters, and the other two coming in with a third-of-the-season block pitching consitently poorly. But, of course, Rodriguez missed meaningful time (in volume, if not in import) too. I'll review.
