Risky Business (1983)
Great Movie
This movie is one of my all time must see classics. Paul Brickman should do a remake of this one.
I rent the DVD every year around the Fall of the season (something about falling leaves). Every actor in this film contributed greatly to this film. But the two most memorable for me were Cruise and Demornay. The chemistry they had together in this movie was palpable.
Tom Cruise gets my vote for ALL TIME FAVORITE MALE ACTOR. I was a high school graduate and remember seeing this film at the theater that summer.
The 80's was definitely a great decade.
The Portrait of a Lady (1996)
disappointing mess!!
I remember going to see this movie with a boyfriend back in 1997. I wanted to see this movie because I thought it would be romantic. I practically had to drag my boyfriend to see it with me, he laughed and slept thru most of it, while I tried desperately to understand the plot of the story. Nothing in this movie captured my interest!! I was so disappointed when I left the theater, I was tempted to ask for a refund!!!! I have even thought about renting the movie, if just to see if my understanding of the plot will become clear, but afraid it will only leave me feeling angry and unfulfilled. I can't give this film a good, not even a mediocre rating.
Harsh Times (2005)
amazing acting!!
I picked this movie up at the video store, only because I could not find anything else I thought was interesting to watch. Got home and was paralyzed by the performances in this movie!! I believe this was Bale's most powerful portrayal of a character, I am sure is every bit his opposite. I loved this film and can not understand why it got such bad reviews. All the characters in this film were believable and the story line kept me guessing. In all, I can easily say this was the movie of the year!!!!!
This movie came out in 2006 and I don't remember seeing any advertisement. I truly do not believe that a lot of people know of this film, and that is probably why it did dismal at the box office. However, after I rented the DVD, I went out and purchased the movie for my collection at home.
